i don't think you can :p and thanks for the info on fable 3

You have always been able to on the previous sales, even the potato one

So yes most likely you can

Great choice on Orcs Must Die (Y) FYI I didn't get the reward until I completed the second level, corners iirc.

Also if you go to the Humble Bundle site and buy that for whatever price you want there are several games in the bundle which are for some of the upcoming days rewards. And the games are good anyway AND you are supporting indie developers (Y)(Y)(Y)

Thats sweet... Where is the humble bundle site but... steam is currently giving me error saying they are experiencing high load. :p

OK, my previous question has been answered: you can still complete objectives from previous days. :)

Oh, and I've finally got a second item in my inventory from yesterday's achievement; got a piece of coal. :p

I got Counter strike source and Dungeon defenders as free gifts.

I didnt have either.

I used to play CS 1.6 constantly. Until my brother used some wallhacks in DoD and got my account banned forever. They forgave/forgot the ban after about 3 years because my account is in good standing now just like nothing ever happened. I guess they decided a permanent ban didnt do any good.

I installed CS:S and hopped into de_dust to see if I still had it. After a couple of rounds I was 32 and 6. I still got it baby headshots all over the place. Even got in some long distance headshots with a pistol a couple of times. I'm glad to see that the AWP ###### are still around and just as thick as ever.

I bought a couple games. Orcs must die, Aaaaaaaaaaaa, Arkham Asylum GOTY, and a couple other games that were 3 or 4 bucks each. Very good deals to be had.

If anyone wants to send me games or coupons my steam name is ComATosE. I know its stupid but it was what I signed up for with steam in 2003 when I was playing CS all the damn time. Ill keep an eye on the thread and if I get some more free stuff I dont need Ill send it to someone in here.

Steam is so much better than Origin.

I think I actually got a copy of Bad Company 2 in their deal?

Or is it because I already own it, and I can send my copy to someone? I am confused here?

If it is a new copy, it says it is "Tradable," so does anyone have any game they would want to trade for it? I am open to any type of game.

To me not worth it at that price, i was hoping I could use the coupon on it before I read when it was good.

I guarantee you'll love it for that price.

It's unlikely they'll put it on sale lower than that in the time period you're able to use the coupons for. So, basically, this is likely the best deal you'll get for at least half a year, I'd imagine.

YAAAAAAAAYYYY

Just got:

Mirrors Edge

Metro 2033 (long time coming)

Witcher 2

Too bad none of these will be 100 % completed :cry:

Didn't really enjoy Mirror's Edge that much. Metro 2033 is pretty decent, though. Have fun :)

Thanks.

Really liking Metro 2033. Not that much into the horror genre, except for some titles, but 2033 is great shooter, no doubt.

Still have Mirror's Edge on queue. *SIGH* slow internet connection

The thing i love most about steam sales is it's 99% of the time stuff i either have or not interested in. I'm starting to think I'm not the gamer i used to be.

heh here its just I have way too many games.

some unfinished, some I bought DLC for and havent played, and so on...just need to buy less.

Which is why even though I'm sure I'd enjoy it, I'm not buying Saints Row 3 yet.

lol I got a DotA 2 Hardware survey gift. Already in the beta so I guess I don't need it. Even if I don't get something I need this promotion is awesome. Way better then in game items I don't care about.

I guess you're going to trade the invite with someone?

I received The Void and a -25% coupon for any Valve-published game. I'm going to press my luck later today with some of the other objectives. I hope I don't receive any lumps of coal.

I am trying to get the Orcs Must Die Achievement listed on the Holiday Gift Grab webpage but whenever I launch Orcs Must Die I get a black screen with only the cursor. I've tried the suggested fixes for this issue and the issue still persists regardless.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
