Really wishing I'd bought LA Noire yesterday, but I missed it. Oh well. I've probably spent more than I should have already. Great sale this year! I'll still be keeping an eye out to see if a couple games on my wishlist get some extreme discounts during the rest of the sale.

The only things I've bought from the sale so far have been Mafia, and Mafia II. I loved the second game on 360 but never got to finish the first one on the PlayStation 2 due to a bug where I could not load Mission 14. So now I can finish it, even if the game looks dated now. It must have looked excellent for 2002 though. This is my first encounter with the Steam Summer Sale but I'm enjoying it.

Looks like it was remade for sale on Steam as a standalone. Revisted levels etc, by the reviews.

For ~?2 I'm getting it.

That deal on Assassin's Creed is awful. I picked up a physical copy of the director's cut edition from my local Game for ?3.50 :/

Edit: Just noticed it was for AC:R, my bad :laugh:

Just found this post on SA. Thought I'd give you guys a heads up before the Saints Row 3 sales goes offline.

You can get the DLC much cheaper by buying the packs, instead of individually as you'd see on the main store page for SR3.

Season Pass DLC Pack - 4.99

  • Genkibowl VII
  • Gangstas in Space
  • The Trouble with Clones
  • Nite Blayde Pack

Maximum Pleasure Pack - 1.74

  • FUNTIME! Pack
  • Money Shot Pack
  • Invincible Pack
  • Shark Attack Pack

Saints Purple Ops Pack - 1.74

  • Special Ops Vehicle Pack
  • Steelport Gangs Pack
  • Explosive Combat Pack
  • The Third Warrior Pack

Other DLCs not available in bundle packs:

  • Genki Girl Pack - 2.99
  • Witches & Wieners Pack - .74
  • Penthouse Pack - .74
  • Z Style Pack - .49
  • Bloodsucker Pack - .49

Hope that helps.

I just got everything except the Genki Girl Pack for $10.96. (Y)

Is Metro for $5 a good buy?

I have a decent machine (I7-950 and GTX 580) so hopefully it will run.

That system will run the game fine (although not in maximum detail at a constant 50+ FPS).

If you're into FPS-survival horror games, you'll enjoy this. Reviews are decent.

O yeah I really enjoyed it. And you will run it no problem. I had a way less powerful laptop run it fine on Med settings.

I added Rage today mainly to just run it on my system but I do also want to beat the game.

You can get Black Ops for ?12.99 on Amazon UK. The prices for the CoD games on Steam amount to daylight robbery

I wouldn't say amazon is much better of a deal on that considering that's ?12 more than any cod game is worth.

    • Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable

      By duhk · Posted

      I like the show more options. The only problem with it is that it's not always in a consistent spot in the menu. If the copy/paste/cut, happens to show on top, then more option is the last in the menu. But if copy/paste/cut happens to show on the bottom, then more options is before the copy/paste/cut. But I do like the more options because it hides the stuff that I rarely use. But I would like to choose what it is or isn't hiding. That would make it better.

      I wonder if "put it back the way it was for decades" ever crossed their minds? 🤣

      Rescind the stupid "Show more options" in context menus and just give us the full menu instead of adding more steps to get to what we want. The "simpler by default" makes me think they'll go in the opposite direction. Every context menu should have a configure button so you can pick and choose what options should be shown, I know you can do that with some registry fu but that shouldn't be required.

      This is why competition must exist. Finally, pressure is mounting on Microsoft to move in the right direction.

      Microsoft is making Windows 11's context menus faster, simpler, and configurable by Taras Buria Five years ago, Windows 11 introduced redesigned context menus, offering users a simpler, more modern design. However, customers quickly discovered that the new menus leave a lot to be desired. Many are unhappy with performance (they are really slow), while others dislike the double-layed design, where many options are hidden behind the "Show more options" button. In addition, over the years, menus became cluttered and overloaded. While Microsoft has already fixed plenty of pain points across Windows 11, context menus remain mostly unchanged. Fortunately, Microsoft is finally listening. Marcus Ash, Design and Research Lead for Windows at Microsoft, responded to a tweet on X, confirming that the company is working on fixing Windows 11's context menus. Reworked context menus are supposed to be faster, simpler by default, and "configurable to what you use most." What the latter means is unknown, just like whether Microsoft plans to keep the classic menu alongside the modern one, but according to Marcus, the wait should finally be over soon, as he promised to "share our approach soon." Improved context menus will most likely appear first in Windows 11 preview builds in the Experimental Channel. While we wait for Microsoft to release them, you can try fixing context menus on your PC with a simple tool called Windows 11 Context Menu Manager. It lets you disable entries you do not need, not only cleaning up context menus, but also making them significantly faster. Microsoft has already improved Windows 11's Start menu and taskbar, so hopefully it will address user criticism of the context menu as well. Stay tuned for new Windows 11 preview builds, which usually arrive every Friday.
