Since you can only register one HL2 CD key per account those of those of us with two or more copies of HL2 require multiple Steam accounts. I have two Steam accounts linked to a single email address. It works fine. They do warn you about reusing the email address when you create the second account but they allow you to proceed anyway (the warning is in case you are creating a new account only because you forgot about your old one).

thank you Gollan, just what i wanted to know :E

Bear in mind that if one account gets banned, the other may well get banned to. Maybe your dad cheats online one day, or whatever, point is, you would both lose your games.
