Ok BOA, I have never liked a Valve game with the exception of CS:S. So I can agree with you on that point. SORRY world but it is true. I have tried to, and put hours into: Half Life, Half Life 2, TF2, HL Deathmatch, DoD...etc etc since everyone seems to like them. But guess what. Not for me.

Now on your boycotting steam. Get off your fing pedestal and actually see what steam has to offer. (Manuals that come in games nowadays do NOT pass as manuals, all you get is a character list and a controller scheme. That is IT). You have to buy the actual books now. SO, your point on manuals is completely and utterly mute. Believe me that's what I used to think as well. Guess what; times change. Get used to it. You are missing out on hundreds of good games at a good price with your little "boycott" if you can even call it that since you are in the extreme minority of people doing it. Most people have realized that it's stupid to do so. Get out of your hole and live a little man!
