    As of this second, is steam working for everyone? I've been trying for a few hours but it doesnt connect. Something with the server perhaps?

    I just had trouble connecting to steam so went to the steam forums and saw lots of people with the same problem. I had to delete this file called "ClientRegistry.blob" in the steam directory and now it works.
