Is there any chance of MW3 being discounted? Or is the game simply too hot to be included in the sale?

It's not a case of the game being "too hot" (Batman Arkham City got discounted yesterday), it's a sad case of Activision's greediness. They will keep their games as expensive as they can until the bitter end. You usually have to wait at least six months to see a noticeable discount, but more than likely a year.

Yeah. I just read the explanation you gave yesterday. Edited my post, but was too slow to it. :p

Also, another year has gone by. What ever the **** happened to HL2: E3/HL3! Man, I hope we get some conclusion next year.

Can you nuke yourself in decfon to get santa?

you can't nuke your cities no, you might be able to get him in transit though you can launch nukes into your own area just not in a city but you will have to be quick about it.

I'm still looking for portal 2, have DotA 2 and 2 coal.

You want Portal 2 for DOTA2? If so I'd like to trade providing it's the full game. I also have a buttload of coupons if your interested in case you want something more than Portal 2 for DOTA2.

It says "Hardware Survey", but it's the full game. All the game drops are full games, unless it's specifically stated as just being a weekend pass.

The only things I am really hoping to get is either Fallout 3 (GOTY), Fallout NV, TES: IV Oblivion (GOTY - Missed the daily deal for it) or TES: V Skyrim :(

Steam has only given me a lump of coal and a -33% and -50% Valve Coupon.

If you get both oblivion and skyrim, make sure to not play Skyrim before Oblivion, as you will never be able to return to Oblivion after playing the magic that is Skyrim.

It was not even ten or fifteen minutes since you posted when I offered. Did the person PM you? I don't see any post where anyone stated they would trade with you.

I always seem to miss out. Even on that Steam gifts website I never seem to win anything no matter how many entries. In fact nothing ever turns in my favor, guess that it's just my family is endowed with ****ty luck. :(

Anyone else have a DOTA2 Hardware Survey (Full game) they are willing to trade for Portal 2, Left4Dead 2, coupons?

Ok, just worked out a trade for my copy of DotA 2. Now I get to play another DotA clone I've never played before to get another achievement lol.

Good luck with that. I had been trying all day to play it, but the game is badly hosted and when I finally got it updated I can't even register. I gave up and deleted it... screw it.

Isn't DoTA just in beta at the moment?

Sorry man, I may not be checking forum post but I see every new e-mail on my phone which is how I saw the PM. And I did post in this thread yesterday about offering DotA 2.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • Researchers claim Microsoft's quantum breakthrough is flawed by basic Python errors by Karthik Mudaliar Microsoft's aggressive roadmap to deliver a commercial quantum supercomputer by 2029 has now hit a bit of a snag, and it's not because of a complex sub-zero dilution refrigerator, but rather because of a few lines of basic Python code. A new critique published in the scientific journal Nature argues that simple software errors effectively manufactured the breakthrough that Microsoft's foundational research claimed back in 2025 into Majorana-based topological qubits. Topological quantum computing, the path that Microsoft chose for its research, relies on creating and controlling "Majorana zero modes." These are exotic quasiparticles that theoretically offer vastly superior error resistance compared to the highly sensitive superconducting qubits currently being championed by rivals like Google and IBM. However, physically proving you have created these particles requires sifting through massive amounts of complex electrical conductance data to isolate a specific "topological gap." Because of the sheer volume of data, physicists rely heavily on custom software pipelines to process the results. This is where the Python scripts come in. Now, according to the critique, Microsoft’s data processing software contained fundamental programming errors that ultimately skewed the published results. By mishandling data arrays or deploying incorrect logic within the Python script, the software supposedly discarded "noisy" or contradictory data. Which is why it only highlighted the specific electrical measurements that supported the topological-gap claim. The researchers behind the critique argued that this makes the findings invalid, suggesting the heralded "quantum leap" was actually a false positive generated by bad code and not a product of groundbreaking physics. However, Microsoft is pushing back hard against these allegations. The Redmond giant has formally rejected the criticism, saying that it's just a minor anomaly rather than a fatal flaw. According to the company, while there may have been a minor oversight in the data parsing scripts, it does not alter the fundamental reality of their physical experiment. Just weeks ago, Microsoft unveiled the Majorana 2 quantum processor, a milestone so significant that the company boldly accelerated its timeline for a commercial quantum supercomputer from 2035 down to 2029. But the new software allegations reopen an old wound. Microsoft's quantum division faced a remarkably similar crisis when a landmark 2018 paper on Majorana particles was famously retracted in 2021 after independent physicists discovered the data had been inappropriately cropped. That historical baggage makes the current Python-related allegations particularly sensitive. If the foundational math and data processing for the 2025 breakthrough are genuinely flawed, the highly anticipated 2029 commercial timeline could easily be delayed or, worse, cancelled.

    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
