Yeah, I know. You're going to say I'm in the stone ages, but whatever. I haven't had time to game in a long time.
So, here's my problem. I finally bought HL2 and I've never used or even heard of Steam before until this. I don't have Internet at my house. Needless to say, I was quite disappointed when I got home and realized I couldn't install the game without an Internet connection.
So, I went to work and installed it on my Internet connection there, thinking that once I installed it I could go home and play single player off line. Well, that didn't work.
Do I need an Internet connection just to play single player? Or is there a way to play the game off line? I'm not looking for any illegal hacks or anything, just wondering if there is a legal way to play the game without internet, since I did pay for it after all.
Yeah, I know it was my fault for missing the internet connection requirement on the box. I figured that was for multiplayer only. Oops.
