2011 Steam Summer Sale


Recommended Posts

Picked up Borderlands and the Valve Complete Pack today.

I thought steam gave extra gift copies of valve games you already owned, but apparently that's not the case. I was planning on giving them away here. Ah well...

In total I bought

Borderlands

Valve Complete Pack

Transformers: War for Cybertron

Kane & Lynch 2: Dog Days

Beat Hazard Ultra

Fallout: New Vegas

Kane & Lynch 2 has to be the shortest campaign I have ever played. I thought Modern Warfare was short, but K&L 2 took me 4 hours to finish. It was a decent game with nice visuals, but I would have been ****ed if I paid full price for it.

Any reccomendations on whether I should get FO:NV or AC: Brotherhood?

I thought AC:Brotherhood was amazing. Definitely worth it. There's so many things to do in that game. Got around 45 hours of play time out of it to get 100% completion. It's quite the improvement on AC2.

I can't comment on NV. I bought it, but haven't played it yet. They just released a huge patch that is supposed to fix all the bugs in the game, so seeing as bugs were the most common complaint about the game, I'm guessing it should be worth it.

So far I have this list in my steam account:

Battlefield Pack - June 2011

FarCry 2

Batman: Arkham Asylum GOTY

Kane and Lynch 2 - Dog Days

Bioshock 2

Left 4 Dead 2

Amnesia The Dark Descent

Grand Theft Auto IV (US/AU)

STALKER: Shadow of Chernobyl

The Orange Box

Chessmaster Grandmaster Edition

Half-Life 2 Retail Collectors

I'd join that party, if it wasn't for Sanctum. That game looks like it will become boring really fast, even in multiplayer :(

Well, there is a demo up, so you can see for youself. I'm gonna try the demo out right now.

I like how the tickets are all open today.

They've been open every day. :p I've spent the last few days trying to earn as many tickets as I could. I've got 15 so far (redeemed 5 items as well), and I have a feeling I've hit my limit now. There's 10 more tickets that I can earn, but it looks like they're too hard for me. The Beat Hazard one is really tricky, and the CS:S, Galcon Fusion, and DoD:S achievements are all impossible for me, because I suck at those games. :p

Thanks you reminded me to get Beat Hazard. I aint really been trying to get tickets at all, tried in the last type of deal they had like this and i never won so had no incentive to go for this lol.

**** the demo. I'll join just to be the third guy and to increase my game library on Steam.

I already know I'll hate the game, but so be it. PM me your paypal email.

And speaking of summer tickets. This is my loot, with one more ticket remained: http://i.imgur.com/v8vMB.jpg

Even if I'd get two more tickets, I don't know what I would spend them on. I already grabbed all what I needed.

Very well then! :laugh: I just finished playing the demo; I wasn't overly impressed for it, but for ?1.66, **** it! :p You can buy a lot worse for that!

Thankfully, there's no expiration date on gifting game copies, so if anyone's interested in the extra copy later on, just say. ;)

    • Zed 1.7.2 has landed with updated OpenCode models, bug fixes and other improvements by David Uzondu Zed 1.7.2 recently landed on the stable release channel, bringing a host of AI-related features including automatic context compaction and settings-based skill management, along with other things like better Markdown preview rendering and custom git commands in the graph view. Starting with the AI stuff, the developers introduced "/compact", a command that basically summarizes your conversation history on demand. This tool prevents your active chat window from hitting token limits by compressing older parts of the dialogue into a brief overview. In addition to that, the team relocated skill management to the settings UI, improving how the application communicates errors regarding those skills, and updated the OpenCode model roster to support DeepSeek V4 Flash, MiniMax M3, Qwen 3.7 Plus, and Nemotron 3 Ultra Free. External agent users can also monitor context window cost metrics and delete individual sessions directly from their history. Right-clicking ref labels in the git graph now opens a context menu that runs different actions against selected targets, kind of how VS Code does it. Here are some of the bug fixes this new release brings: The active agent fails to auto-select when creating a new git worktree. A scrollbar unexpectedly appears on wrapped code blocks in the agent chat. Collapse indicators for project headers appear when performing sidebar searches. Bracketed ellipsis title prefixes fail to show the ellipsis icon properly. Project icons render incorrectly in the recent projects picker. Diff hunk controls appear inside non-editable commit view multibuffers. The software update button hangs indefinitely on the downloading stage. Restoring an agent terminal in a remote project triggers a sudden crash. Splitting a pane that contains an active commit view causes a crash. Linux Wayland freezes when trying to read the clipboard from laggy external apps. Zed is a "newish" code editor trying to break the massive stronghold VS Code has on the developer community. Funny enough, the editor was created by former GitHub employees who worked on the Atom text editor (which Microsoft killed in 2022, several years after it bought GitHub). The project officially hit version 1.0 back in April, introducing platform parity for Windows and Linux alongside deep support for DeepSeek-V4-Pro.
    • 26H2 absolutely will support ARM Windows just not on devices that came with 26H1. This is evident by the fact I am running 26H2, which on my MacBook Neo and Surface Pro 12 (inch), within a VM.

    • The FIFA World Cup is not US centric.
    • It’s amusing how Microsoft is pushing IT admins as if this was a major, game-changing update. In reality, it’s just an enablement package that bumps the build number, which is disappointing compared to the more substantial 22H2 and 24H2 releases. Technically, 25H2, 26H1, and the upcoming 26H2 are essentially the same, differing only in support schedules. They could have included the Windows K2 improvements here, but chose not to. The era of Windows being in the backburner continues, and this 26H2 release feels like an afterthought. Shame, Nadella, shame.
