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.

    • AltSendme 0.4.1

      By Copernic · Posted

      AltSendme 0.4.1 by Razvan Serea AltSendme is a minimal, cross-platform application designed for fast, secure, and private peer-to-peer file transfers. It allows users to send files or entire directories directly between devices without relying on cloud servers, accounts, or any personal information. Everything is encrypted end-to-end using modern protocols like QUIC and TLS 1.3, ensuring both strong security and low-latency performance. Transfers are verified with BLAKE3 for data integrity, and interrupted downloads automatically resume, making the experience reliable even on unstable connections. You can transfer anything—images, videos, documents, and more. Integrity checks are performed on both ends, so your files are automatically verified for correctness during both sending and receiving. AltSendme works seamlessly across local networks or long-distance links, capable of saturating multi-gigabit connections for extremely fast delivery. With built-in NAT traversal and encrypted relay fallback, it connects devices almost anywhere. The app integrates with the Sendme CLI and will soon support mobile and web platforms. Fully free and open-source, AltSendme offers a lightweight, privacy-first alternative to traditional cloud-based services, removing size limits, upload costs, and unnecessary data exposure. AltSendme 0.4.1 changelog: Release Highlights Self-hosted relays: Run your own iroh relay so transfers don't rely on public infrastructure. Includes a full deployment template in deploy/relay/ with Docker Compose for a VPS and configuration examples for production use. Fly.io support: One-click deploy template for Fly.io, including a quick-start config (fly.dev.toml) for testing without a custom domain, plus production setup with Let's Encrypt and your own hostname. Relay settings UI: New Settings → Network panel to choose how AltSendme connects: automatic public relays, custom self-hosted URLs (with optional auth token), or disabled. Test connections, verify latency, and see live relay status in the footer. Disable relays: Turn off relay servers entirely when you only need same-network transfers (e.g. LAN). Direct connections only. No relay hop required when devices can reach each other. Android graduates from beta: Android is now part of the regular release cycle alongside desktop. APKs ship with each version (universal, arm64, and armv7). Other improvements Private relay access control via shared auth token Relay fallback notifications when a custom relay is unreachable Broadcast mode toggle in sharing settings Android release build fixes (split-per-ABI APKs, universal APK preservation) UI polish: mobile safe-area insets, dropzone layout, transfer progress animation Bug fixes for minification-related serialization issues and system tray icon loading What's Changed feat(relay): add relay status functionality and settings UI (a120cdf) feat(relay): implement custom relay server configuration and verification (51276c7) feat(relay): add configuration for private relay access and enhance observability features (48fbabf) feat(relay): enhance relay URL validation, display connection status (d4fffa0) feat(relay): add RelayChangeGuard component and enhance relay-related translations (16ba514) feat(broadcast): add toggle setting for broadcast mode in sharing UI (ca6d977) fix(relay): correct QUIC discovery port, pin image, templatize fly.dev (52a2ba5) fix: More broken serialization due to minification (67491a9) fix(android): preserve true universal APK across per-ABI builds (e9f256f) fix(ui): conditional safe-area insets padding on mobile (1182f0e) refactor(transfer): CircularRing component animation fix (944572b) chore(android): drop x86 and x86_64 release APKs, keep universal+arm64+armv7 (34ada0b) Download: AltSendme 0.4.1 | ARM64 | ~9.0 MB (Open Source) Download: AltSendme for MacOS | Android Links: AltSendme Home Page | GitHub | Screenshot Get alerted to all of our Software updates on Twitter at @NeowinSoftware
    • Why Delta Chat is the best decentralized messenger you have probably never tried

      By zikalify · Posted

      You are mostly right about the ephemeral nature of it. As I mention in the article, if you dont add a second device or take a backup of your account before uninstalling it, then yes you will lose access to your account. That said, in terms of actual user experience when you sync multiple devices your message history carries across and there's also a Saved Messages chat like there is on Telegram to send messages and attachments between your installs. But yh, what you point out are correct and its not trying to emulate Messenger or Telegram.
    • You've tried DuckDuckGo and Brave Search, now get serious with SearXNG

      By zikalify · Posted

      OK so SearXNG is a meta search engine that you can install locally or use via a public instance. It scrapes other search engines which you choose and then sorts the results. Not as complicated as multiple relays
    • The Trump administration doesn't want you to use OpenAI's GPT-5.6 without its approval

      By excalpius · Posted

      The only difference here is that you think you came up with these reasons. You didn't. These age old fearmongering lies (that were NEVER true) were funded by and the anger stoked by Putin through proxies like Farage (and later in the USA, Trump) and filtered down through the skinheads, Neonazis, etc. until it reached the uninformed, ignorant, and gullible -- never realizing they were being played for fools against their own best interests. Even now, despite all of the EVIDENCE proving that Brexit was a terrible mistake for ALL citizens of the UK and that its supporters were tricked by Putin's proxies into sabotaging their own nation, you're still here defending these well-known lies as if they were ever true. Not only are they not true. They NEVER were. So, when are you going to realize that you were lied to and actually get angry at the liars and charlatans who lied to you, instead of blaming the innocent people they lied to you about?
