Hello guys, I new to this forum so please be patient with me. :angel:
Kay, anyway, I bought Half-Life 2 and tried to download it on my computer.
It downloaded fine but when I tried to play the file, this 'Steam' thingy pops up and prevents me from playing the game.

Please tell me the steps to take! I love Half-Life Blue Shift and I can't wait to play this game! ^.^ :stare: Thx!
