Some DNS servers are being DDoSed right now (probably by that asshats who call themselves poodlecorp) so a LOT of websites are currently down. You'll just have to wait it out

Hmm, I see you were trying to get into the Steam store page. This site is working perfectly for me so the DDoS might not have anything to do with this case. Or maybe I got lucky...

PoodleCorp is a joke. People from LeakForums have stronger botnets than them.

It's online for multiple countries. Try connecting using a different browser.

Can you translate it into English?

 

Roughly translates to, 'Deez nuts.'

 

It could be the result of that big DDoS attack, but could also be a local/ISP DNS issue. Try setting your computer's (or router's) DNS to either Google's (8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4), Comodo DNS (8.26.56.26 and 8.20.247.20), Open DNS (208.67.222.222 and 208.67.220.220) or Level 3 DNS (209.244.0.3 and 209.244.0.4). I generally use Open DNS, as my local DNS through the ISP has issues from time to time. Never notice them any more since changing that on my router.
