I can only come up with one possible reaction to this:

OANST 03-04-2006 02:57 PM

How do I check to see if something is blocking steam?

Havoc 03-04-2006 02:58 PM

If you have a firewall, check to see if it has Steam on the allow list and not on the Block list. Depending on the firewall you have, it should usualy be under a tab called 'Programs' in the options menu of your firewall.

OANST 03-04-2006 03:02 PM

Thank you for your help. You're going to think I'm an idiot but I don't know if I have a firewall. If I do where would I find it?

EDIT: I checked my network connection and it says Enabled, Firewalled. I assume this means that i do have a firewall but I can't find it. I would really like to be able to play this goddamn game. Anyone have any ideas?

Dude. You do not know the meaning of scary when playing Ravenhom. Have you played it with all the lights off in the house, at midnight, with full graphics, and the speakers cranked on full? AND on hard mode?

I stopped playing at the area where you get the shotgun from Father Grigori. Those fast headcrabs are to damn scary. I play it all the time though. Ravenhom is the funnest level, next to the level where you get the Gravity Gun Redux. Then you are a walking tank of death. Much like Havoc when I showed him the New Years party picture. I'll never look at a pair of panties the same way again.

OANST 03-04-2006 03:44 PM

Please, I need help.

EDIT: I found my firewall. I do have one but it is not in use. So I can rule that out. What kind of bullshit is this anyways where I have to connect to somme goddamn website to play a videogame?

Havoc 03-04-2006 05:44 PM

It's Valve's way of anti game copying. And it's pretty darn effective, to a degree. Anyway, try re-installing the game and steam all together. Manualy remove any folders that remain behind. Then do a fresh install. See if that helps. I think that if a .dll file is missing, something might have gone wrong in the instalation.

Hope it works out for ya dude.


Mitsur: Ravenholm is by far, the scariest video game enviorment I have ever been in. The first time I made my way trough it, it was in the middle of the night, barely any lights on, with headphones in and on normal hardness. I just stopped playing when I got the shotgun and got to savety. Then picked it up again the night after. The amount of adrinaline rushes you get in that place is amazing. They did an absolute wonderfull job at it.

I think part of reason you're against it so much is because you know Ambi will come crashing down on you if you even say the word 'hot' and another girl's name in the same sentence ;).

Oooh... you are so lucky that you put that winky face there.

Nothing burns my biscuits more than suggesting that I think something simply because I'm in a relationship. Girls don't have mind control powers, you know. It's completely possible for me to have a totally different view point from you guys without my girlfriend being involved.

If I had never even met Amber, yeah, still the same opinion.

Well, we are all entitled to our own opinions. Sorry about that. I guess I (or anyone else) will never understand women. 'Tis the greatest mystery of them all. Except to them, of course ;)

Am I over-using the winky face lately, or is it just me?

Haha. Well, if it was in the game that would be funny.

I wonder if there will be.....GIANT HEADCRABS in the game?

Leto 03-07-2006 07:32 PM

Aren't head-crabs nits?

Ahaha, hahahaha. Ha.

UPDATE: Episode 1 has been released today. Obviously they had a little setback with the initial date of April 24, but now it's finaly here!

Now, if you'll excuse me, I have to run to the store to go and get it.

EDIT: Can you believe this? I come home, want to play it, then Steam gives me the message:
Due to the aimed World Wide release, the game can not be unlocked untill 10 o clock.

Which meant I had to wait 5 damn hours! It's unlocked now though, and busy installing :D.
