I took it out of startup last night and once again my PC loads up fast as hell. I was amazed at how much steam bogged it down at startup. When I want to play I just open it normally and it works fine. I tried playing HL multiplayer by connecting through gamespy and the whole experience confused the hell out of me when the game actually opened. I couldn't figure out how to change the settings or get to the video options, or to change my name. I assume you have to use the console for that stuff when not using steam. Too complicated for my newbie mind. I'll stick to steam.
