Heavy update (Could be this time next week!)

[Del]

validate yer game files

tf2 can be run while files are still downloading and that can cause tissues, it says it's ready, but it's not really. might have some missing or corrupt files.

also, steam is a little sicklish tonight, probably suffering under the load of content distribution and achievement updates, damned grinders
