    restart steam, leave it on, and hope for the best?

    the preload is hella big so maybe it just LOOKS stuck...

    psss... clam down and relax.. first just let the preload run.... it will hit the 100% for shure

    second just to inform you: I own a retail box version and upon registration it says: Registration proccess pending, we will inform you as soon as you have been succesfully registered.

    Well, steam is busy today.

    yeah steam is definitely busy, maybe it's just server lag :> I bet it'll be done by the time you get home...

    "your subscription to Half Life 2 Retail Standard has not completed, because Steam servers are currently too busy to process the transaction"

    Oh bum.

    Well howabout not having a PC. I'd say that's pretty bad. All I get to see is screenshots. Here's my top 10 things I'd really, <i>really</i> like to be doing but my PC's stuck in another country.
    <ol type='i'><li>Continuing with my map </li><li>Continuing with my map </li><li>Continuing with my map </li><li>Playing HL2 </li><li>Listening to all my music on my PC </li><li>Checking out WoW </li><li>Playing CS:S </li><li>Buying and playing Warhammer </li><li>Trying out some modelling with 3DSMax </li><li>Buying and watching some new DVDs</li></ol>
    Don't try and tell me it's frustrating to not be able to play HL2. There are worse things that could happen...

    I done that. I left it for a couple of hours while I went to college and when I came home it was still there. I went to the HL2 icon and it told me it was complete. Now it is just unlocking the files <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->
