As everyone outside of Valve knows, there was a hurricane on the east coast this week-end.

Here is my story.

As the storm hit, my Internet connection was taken out but I still had power. I figured that the best way to live through a hurricane than Arrogant ******* Ale and tons of PC games, here is the beer:

After putting a few back, I launch Steam:

I waited until I saw this:

I clicked "Start In Offline Mode" and saw this:

I hit OK and Steam closes entirely.

I tried again, this time trying to cancel the Update nothing. I tried Retry Connection: nothing. I even tried putting donuts into the ROM drive to bribe it a bit figuring that Gabe put a couple of Easter eggs in the software, but it appears that he ate those all too.

Long story short: I own almost 100 games on Steam, meaning Valve has thousands of dollars of my money, but I could not play games that I have legitimately purchased because Steam needed to update.

What a ****ing piece of ****.
