It's gotta be the one thing that Anon mentioned to me just before... it's a flippin' Patience Tester... it's not a game device/upgrade/enhancement... it's to test whether there are enough muppets that will just go with the flow...
I started an Opposing Force single player game.. waited 5 minutes for it to load up... it played the sounds, did the animation... but everytime it switched a speech section it stuttered... ok I said ... no problem I can put up with that for now...
Then I was told to goto training... so I runs off like a good li'l soldier... through the corridor, down the stairs, hit the doors which swing open and .....
....
....
....
....
....
....
....
....
....
....
....
....
....

....
Yes that's right folks I waited for 5-10 minutes... and then I was outside... ok, maybe that was a one off ... so I ran forward, the sargent asked if I had a problem so I realised I should continue straight ahead... and ran off quick time... got through the doors, no delay, great! down the corridor, almost to the next set and ....
BLAM... it's time to wait again ...

This time, my screen saver kicks in because it's been so god damn long since I did anything that it things it's idling... oh well, I thought, cancelled the screen saver, unlocked the workstation... screen looks a bit fux0r3d, but I'll put up with it... now... how do I get back in game...
...
...
I don't... eh?! STEAM the back of crap that it is, doesn't load the game as a seperate process, but as part of itself... thus there is NO way to get back in game, and in fact, guess what... IT LOCKS UP.... uuuuuuuuuuugggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
