I was just about to post this very same issue... it's stuck, doesn't launch anything :/ In fact, on my machine, after it updates those programs, I have to close steam down because it's frozen... just doesn't work... go in again, and it lits up with Ricochet / HL for me... looked in e:/steam/steamapps and sure enough there are some gcf files... what's interesting is that I now have a halflife.gcf that's over 430 meg from somewhere and yet when I was watching my filewall stats... there's no way it downloaded it.... so wtf did it come from, and how come it takes so long to generate it?!
