I blame Mirth.  Must remember to get that blame-default switch unstuck...

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that I suddenly connect to Steam two days before Christmas.  They're probably being overloaded with people jumping on the sale.

Yup, need to leave enough time for the gifts to arrive!

Don't panic! It's not just you. Steam is down for everyone.

In a moment of weakness, I broke down and picked up a couple indies late last night.  A few hours after I said that I didn't plan to.    L:-)

Always on the lookout for some turn-based strategy for "recliner play" on the laptop.  So I buckle like a belt after some of those have been on my wishlist for awhile.  So weak.

Halcyon 6: Starbase Commander


Then I just picked up the DCS MiG-21.   Time to lock the wallet down.

Sounds like the perfect reason to panic!!!!!

Steam hosts dying?

Happens every year during Holiday Sale. 

Surprised it didn't go down last.

It's not just heavy traffic this time.
Considering how long it's been continuously down now, and the errors that one would get.
And not to mention the entire Steam infrastructure is down as well (not just the store)...
It seems like foul play is involved. Someone (or some people) are really working hard to make people miserable.

So a DoS attack is the probable culprit?
