Card drops are randomly time-based. You only need to have the game running.

Did you read what the achievements were for? Like playtime?

You might have had the game on run after downloaded and cards will drop and playtime will go up.

Your home is haunted. Be very afraid.

On a more serious note (not that ghosts aren't super serious business), run the game now and select Continue or check for any quick- or autosaves.

You should have those save files examined for cyber-protoplasm. They might even be haunted.

I ran HL2 for the cards once, but you don't get any achievements from just having it running without playing, & yours wasn't even open...maybe it just randomly started in the background...

Anybody have the number for Ghostbusters?

i usually let my games play themselves, can't expect them to all sit in cyberspace doing absolutely nothing until the player gets back.

I would blame Dio Brando and/or Diavolo with their time-manipulation powers...

Seriously though, either Steam screwed up bigtime, or someone else with access to your PC and/or your Steam account has been playing the game.

So does this mean its not hacked? Nobody has acces to my pc except me. Do you recieve any kind of "ur steam is accessed from another pc" notification? Tired of people joking about ghosts...

Well, you should get an email if someone tries to access your Steam account from other PC(as long as you have Steam Guard on). Are you sure no one used your computer when you were gone? Someone could've turned on the game and play.

And does steam client itself say anything like that? There is a possiblty that my mail got hacked and the hacker erased the mail.

Why would the hacker download HL2 on his own computer and play it for 40 minutes, instead of doing something more malicious like locking you out of it?

Doesn't make any sense.

Eh. Hacker might not be locking you out because that will immediately alarm you. So he/she/it might believe that the longer it takes for you to find out, the longer he has access to the games you own. If it works for botnets, it can work for other scenarios too right ?

Of course random stuff popping up anyway kind of ruins that tactic.

But yeah, if you're the only one with physical access to your machine, you may want to do the usual password change etc.

Do you live alone, maybe someone opened it? Or maybe you accidentally set the game to start when the download finish.

my best guess is a friend pranking you, if they ever had access to your computer to be able to install software for remoting in.
my second best guess is you're trolling.
third is someone in your house is more adept at computers than you realize.
fourth is you have a serious memory problem.
fifth is hacked.
and sixsixsixth is what practically everyone else is saying: ghosts or hyperintelligent (demon) cats (you have to play through a decent amount of the game to get the two mentioned achieves).

Once after playing a game on steam - I believe it was Civilization IV - I quit game and left steam running as usual. It was friday, I had computer running for a night download, on saturday I did some side job for the whole day, was too tired to play, so I just watched a movie, left computer on for another night. On sunday I was working till late evening and when I finished, I wanted to play and then I noticed steam still showing I'm in game.
It turned out I scored 40h of gameplay just because game didn't quit correctly and left zombie process running.
