@Eeems: Ah ok I thought you would still have an idea based on how empty shelves were when you arrived and how much stock got out of the backstore or something Here the Rona store was unusually quiet during the Christmas rush, while every other store were extremely busy.

I can never tell because for all we know, the shelves could have already been empty because we didn't have anything to stock it with for a couple weeks.

Since I work nights I have no idea how the Christmas rush was. The store is closed during the night.

There is a lot to the game

Builderboy, a friend of his and I played some Left for Dead 2 today I was the only one not to make it

It's a RTS but on a larger scale then starcraft. It's only similar to starcraft in the fact that it's an RTS.
It's basically a battle sim between massive armies.
Here is an example of overmap gameplay and the actual battles

It's probably got a lot of extra content that make it a ton bigger though.
The biggest game I have is 20GB I think. One of the total war games.
We need to find a good game that all of us have so we can all play

Steam games are just games packaged to be used with steam, they aren't always dependent on it. There are a few that require it for multiplayer but other than that you don't actually need to have steam running for most of them.
You can disable automatic synchronizations so it doesn't sync your game data to the cloud. I'm not sure if you can disable updates though, but you can always pause the downloads if you don't want them running.
