'Nuff said. Got my vote.

Happy Halloween!

Johnson told me about this earlier this evening, and I was unsure of how to react. Good, or bad?

There isn't any more of an obsession with the American public then there is of, for example, everything and anything that happens in the Middle-East, European economic crisis, or any other popular issues of the time. When something is regularly represented in popular media, everybody hears something about it, regardless of geographical location. More often than not, this representation is taken as fact. Most people who hear stories from, or have seen some form of "reality" show based in the US, particularly those who have a lesser knowledge (perhaps, by no fault of their own) of the reality in the country, are quite content to simply shrug their shoulders and say "I guess that is the way it works there" when they see something supposedly representing "life in America". It is very similar as to when we (people in North America), hear stories of the cultural or religious beliefs and values of other peoples throughout the world. We often simply shrug our shoulders and say "I guess that is just the way it works there", whether it is the true reality of the country as a whole, or not. Not obsession, though the workings of media is almost always an interesting topic to discuss. It just so happens the the US media in particular is often so easily dissected.

Many people outside of the US perceive what they see on your media as the reality of your lives (Can you blame them?). Jersey Shore, Honey Boo Boo, and similar "reality" T.V. all contribute as such.

Happy Birthday!

Happy the problem was resolved.

What are your system specs? Operating system? Any background programs running? Have you made any changes to your system recently? The following information was taken directly from SteamSupport; "Certain anti-virus and anti-spyware software such as Norton/Symantec, AVG 7.5, Avast, Spyware Doctor and Nod32 have been confirmed to cause game crashes with Source engine games. If disabling your anti-virus and/or security software does not help, you may want to consider completely uninstalling these applications until an update is released by the anti-virus software developers that resolves these compatibility issues." I certainly do not recommend you uninstall your security software, however if you have one of those, it may go serve to answer why the problem is happening, if anything had been updated recently.
