2011 Steam Summer Sale


Recommended Posts

People should really pick up Lead & Gold, Monday Night Combat, Beat Hazard (and BH Ultra which is just freaking amazing), Solar 2 and a few others I'm forgetting at the moment. :)

Hoenstly, i wouldn't recommend beat hazard unless you like intentionally giving yourself a headache.

You can tone down all the effect settings now. Plus, with the effects maxed out and the screen exploding in color and insanity I never once had a headache or any other issue come from the display.

Bought the entire GTA pack for a while back for ?5 so this sale isn't that good. Grabbed World of Goo, Unreal 3 Black (also gifted my friend a copy) and I got gifted Bit Trip Runner

The GTA pack isn't one of the daily deals, so that's why it's only reduced by 33%. It'll probably be a daily deal later on in the sale, so it'll be reduced further.

Gah I wish Steam Store had a mobile app. I'm going abroad to Europe in 2 days and will only have 20MB of data to use for the period if I wanted to buy anything. Tried putting on Opera Mini on my Android phone for the data compression but it crashes on the Steam store when using 3G for some reason. Any other ideas? :)

Hey guys, check out the THQ Hit pack, $49 (in australia)

Has;

Company of Heroes

Metro 2033

Saints Row 2

Darksiders (one of the best RPG's i have ever played hands down)

Homefront

Dawn of War 2 + Chaos Rising + Retribution

It has a few more as well, but those are the main ones :) MASSIVE bargain

So Lead and Gold is worth the $1.50? Also how does Oblivion run on the PC. Was thinking of getting the 5th anniversary edition next week but $8.50 is just to good to pass up. I have 4Gbs of ram a 2.1ghz core 2 duo and 1GB 4650. If it will run smooth and great I'll grab the PC version, if not I don't mind shelling out the 30 for the 5th anniversary.

Lead and Gold i gather is MP only so be mindful of that.

as for the sale, here we go again! heh heh i see the usual suspects are here...giantpotato, lcg, hello gents :laugh: believe it or not but i've only played about half the stuff i bought during the Xmas sale, i'm pretty sure. but this looks like it'll be a very good sale, too, so hopefully we get some nice deals.

salty wagyu - enjoy your trip and don't worry bout this too much, there's always the next sale with Steam and the daily specials...you'll be fine

Wow, Valve, you just hit a new low.

27 EUR for Valve's games for the UK.

45 EUR for Valve's games for the EU.

Also, if you buy the games individually, you pay 171 EUR (not discounted), but if you buy them as a package, you pay 221 EUR (not discounted). WTF!?

Looks like I won't be buying anything.

Lead & Gold is one of the more underrated gems on PC currently. Very fun game online, just pray you get people on your team who are morons or griefers lol

Oblivion runs great on PC, and with some graphic mods looks amazing.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
