Steam Servers busy?

[BobSevenSevens]

For some reason, I can't get into an Internet game for L4D2.

I can get onto the Internet fine.

I tried to download CSS (had to reinstall Steam) and it said "The Steam servers are busy. Please try your request later."

Anyone else experiencing this?

Currently:

And Steam itself

So this leads me to believe that the Steam servers are currently down

Yeah I have no connection to steam either.
But people are still playing with their vanilla stuff.

Yes

K.

But somehow, I started reinstalling Gmod at about 8:15 EST.

Weird?

Steam servers are having a bit of a forget up in the past few hours, friends went offline for no reason about 2 hours ago.

[.::Taboo::.]

I noticed this as well last night, they must be doing something.

Why must steam go down every week?

[Rainbow]

same problem here,

No network connection could be made to the steam servers

Gabe must stuff on steam every week, its a ritual

VALVe is messing with us so that way we get pissed at them.

[.::Taboo::.]

So that when they throw something new and awesome at us we love twice as much as normal?
Brilliant.

Planned Downtime on Monday, October 11th

Beginning at 4:00 am Pacific time Monday October 11th, we will be performing software maintenance on the Steam servers. We expect the resulting downtime to last four hours at most, putting the end of the window at 8:00 am Pacific time.

Some Steam services will be offline during this time. Affected services will include the Steam Community, in-game matchmaking or lobbies, downloading games from Steam content servers, and making purchases from the Steam store. Games that do not rely on Steam matchmaking services should remain playable.

We will work to make this downtime as short as possible. Thank you for your patience!

Great.

Then, my steam should be back by noon EST.

Someone post if it's back before then.

After realizing I am bored and cannot talk to my friends I decided to go on Facepunch. Turns out Facepunch isn't up either :(
How much worse can this day get?
