That doesn't happen with me. If steam can't connect to the internet, I can at least play offline. But I always ask steam to remember me on my computer. It might ask you for internet connection if you are logging in after a long time.
I completed VVVVVV on steam. And bought a few Indie games too this summer, since I am no FPS fan.
So I had a concern. Today my PC wasn't able to connect for a very long time, and I started steam. To my dismay I encountered following error:
*i5.minus.com/jo1xkLkePvBZE.PNG
So, does steam always needs connection to begin? If that is the case, that would be very bad for its reputation for me.

I have mounted a folder "Steam" of D:\ drive with the actual folder of Steam on C:\. So what the OS on my PC think as C:\Program Files\Steam is actually, D:\Steam
You can do that easily. Its a simple command. Just do some googling!
Well, I played VVVVVV just last night. And started my PC today evening. Now don't know why my "login information" was not stored on my computer.

Steam > Accounts > "Don't save account credentials on this computer" Uncheck it. It's for using Steam on public Computers, you can start it in offline mode from then on.

Re: Steam related discussions
^^ Talking of sad... I wanted to buy Back to the Future game. And decided to wait for 5th of Jan to see if its comes under daily deals.
It didn't and I assumed that the game would be on the default 50% off till 5th Jan US Timing! And damn, I couldn't buy it! :'(
Even tried US proxy to visit steam store at 1 AM night. But still the discounts was off.

Trust me buying via proxy/vpn is not good. Its against their TOS afaik.
Russian games are cheaper(not sure why) and many get their Steam accounts banned trying to buy. How will they know? Is it possible you fly from US to India within 10 mins? Yes the Steam servers are smart lol.
Steam support isn‘t as friendly when it comes to unbanning accounts.

Re: Steam related discussions
Yup, they will ban you, it's mentioned in their ToS that using proxies and VPNs to get Steam content will result in Violation of Steam Subscriber Agreement. The trusted method is to ask a friend who lives there gift you the game, or you can trade on one of those Trading forums for steam e.g Steamtrades.com

Even if someone from outside gifts you a game, can it be redeemed here? I had a Dota 2 invite and it was not redeemable in China. Therefore, can a game like Fallout 3 be redeemable here?
