I can take my HL, install it on my laptop and play it anywhere (ie: not connected to the internet) or take my machine to a LAN party that doesn't have an internet connection. Can you do that with your steam version of the game(s)? (the answer seems to be no, so I did not install steam, as it says it will actually -convert- my games so as to be unplayable while not connected to the internet!)

PS: Squill - thanks.

Basically, connect once to the internet at home and you will be able to play in an offline mode.
