Yes, you can play offline... until Steam decides you have to reconnect to their servers. Then you're SOL.

u smokin?

I have had it happen to me many, many times actually. It pisses me off to the point where I don't use Steam to buy games anymore. If I ever see a deal I want this could change, but thus far it hasn't. Steam's DRM is not terrible, but it does suck hardcore for people with spotty net connections.
