^ you sit there and wait for 10 oclock just to post first don't you :p

Yup :p (or 6 o'clock in my case), but usually nothing interests me (like today). There's another forum I visit that has a similar thread, but it's much more active. When the new deals go up the thread gets really active.

There doesn't seem to be much interest in this Steam sale from Neowin members, but it's not surprising as the deals don't seem as good, and the sales are of nothing new and exciting. The Christmas sale thread had 37 pages, and last year's summer sale had 39 pages. The Christmas sales are better, in my opinion.

S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadow of Chernobyl is the actual game and clear sky and call of pripryat are just new episodes?

No Clear Sky and Call of Pripryat are full games too they all revolve around the same area though. Clear Sky is a prequel to Shadow of Chernobyl and Call of Pripryat is a sequel. I think they are great games but can be buggy but there are a lot of mods for them.

im on the fence about the NFS pack...

You're not the only one. I'm tempted by it, but I'm gonna hold off for two reasons: I've gotta save up most of my money for my new PC build, plus they're crap. :p Well, Undercover is, at least. Hot Pursuit is probably the next worst of the lot; the SHIFT games are the best of the pack there, and they're much better if you've got a steering wheel to play them on. :)

For the first time in the sales, I'm tempted by a game or two. I'm looking at Defense Grid: The Awakening, and Wings of Prey. Defense Grid is being helped a bit more by the fact that you can all of the DLC for just three tickets instead of ?3.16. :)

Well, I finished most of GT5 ages ago, so now I'm waiting for Forza 4, and F1 2011, but I haven't got a steering wheel for the 360, and I don't want to pay over ?50 just for an adapter to use my Driving Force GT on the 360 in a cack-handed fashion.

Why didn't you but Defense Grid when it was on the sale of the day, now it is more money?

I haven't bought it yet. And I didn't realise it was cheaper at the start of the sale. Besdies, it's probably only an extra quid. :p

Yeah made a mistake in my post, which I corrected, but after you posted.

I think it was pretty cheap, and I amde the big mistake of buying the DLC LOL, didnt see it was the same as the prize. Big fail by me.

My girlfriend sold all my old XBox 360 games on Amazon. Its really pathetic the amount she got for each game (roughly $4-8/each after Amazon's cut). I've come to terms with not buying brand new games anymore and just buy them used or on Steam when they have these sales. I was really itching for RE5 when it was released, but I'm glad that I held out and got it on Steam for next to nothing. Its an OK game, but I would have been P.O. if I payed $59 for it.

Try, 'rohanrao' without quotation marks, thanks! :) Got mixed up with display name and ID...

Added.

This years sale seems to be very disappointing thus far :(

I agree! Maybe because there are far too many sales, and not many games have come out since to warrant a massive price drop. I have so many games on my list I need to play, and I just do not have the time.

    • Password Safe 3.72.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      Password Safe 3.72.0 by Razvan Serea Password Safe is a password database utility. Like many other such products, commercial and otherwise, it stores your passwords in an encrypted file, allowing you to remember only one password (the "safe combination"), instead of all the username/password combinations that you use. Once stored, your user names and passwords are just a few clicks away. Using Password Safe you can organize your passwords using your own customizable references—for example, by user ID, category, web site, or location. You can choose to store all your passwords in a single encrypted master password list (an encrypted password database), or use multiple databases to further organize your passwords (work and home, for example). And with its intuitive interface you will be up and running in minutes. PasswordSafe was originally designed by the renowned security technologist Bruce Schneier and released as a free utility application. Password Safe 3.72.0 changelog: Fixed bugs Improved font scale handling - should resolve font size issues on high resolution displays. GH1749 In the Master Password Setup window, "Show Master Password" is no longer truncated on some displays. GH1092, SF1595 Size and position of main window is now correctly restored on scaled displays. SF1630 Keep password expiry date when both password and password expiry are changed; don't clear a non-recurring expiry when the password's changed. SF1628 Custom values can now be copied to the clipboard in read-only mode via Ctrl-C and right-click->Copy Value. New features GH1196 Dark display mode support: Password Safe now supports the system display mode, as well as setting the mode directly via Manage->Options->Display->Display Mode. This change also updates the general "look & feel" of the app to the current Windows theme. Known limitations: The Date picker and keyboard shortcut controls do not switch to dark theme The Customize Toolbar dialog does not switch to dark theme Custom Field support has been added to the more advanced features: Filters XML and Text import and export Comparison, Sync and Merge databases SF938 Custom field values may now be selected by name and copied via a "Copy Custom Field Value..." submenu in the entry context popup menu. SF936 Notes and Custom fields layout now overlap, selectable by tabs, resulting in a more compact and less cluttered layout. SF935 Autotype: Specifying '\v{name}' in the autotype text will cause the corresponding value to be autotyped.

    • Google DeepMind AI Control Roadmap: When Alignment Fails, Defense-in-Depth Takes Over

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      Google DeepMind published a document on June 18, 2026, that may be the most consequential admission yet from a frontier AI lab: alignment training alone cannot guarantee that AI agents will remain under human control, so structural containment must be built before more capable models arrive.............. https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318758/20260620/google-deepmind-ai-control-roadmap-when-alignment-fails-defense-depth-takes-over.htm  
    • Creative Sound Blaster AE-X PCIe review: your headphones will love it

      By Taliseian · Posted

      I've got a SoundBlasterX G6 that I use in my streaming setup. Sounds great to me and I've had zero issues with the ancient software package so far in Win11. That G6 has 7.1, Dolby, fully working SPDIF and since it's a USB device it's outside of my rig so I don't have to worry about EMF distortion. Looks like for now this is a pass for me as I think I have better hardware....

    • A 13 billion year old secret about our Universe's origin was revealed

      I agree with both of you... It's absolutely imperative that science is completely based on actual proven facts and hard evidence and is not considered dogmatic in any way. Science is not a religion and it will never be, and that's exactly how it's supposed to be.
