Man, if I had known that I would require a
Steam connection to authorize my CD-key... I would have just bought the Gold edition online and been done with it.
But I
assumed that I'd be alright with a retail copy with a local side cd-key authorization.
Dumb ass me for letting my hopes and dreams blindside me, like a damned hammer.
On the bright side, this is doing wonders for my post count, hehehe.
I might reach Apprentice by the time HL2 verifies that I bought it.
