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.

does dear esther contain more content than the dear esther addon from moddb? I'm confused as that version is free to anyone yet the steam version is chargeable :(

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.

    • I have been using Firefox for years.
    • I'd trust open source stuff on github more then closed source binaries from Microsoft.
    • OpenAI is now rolling out Lockdown Mode to more ChatGPT users by Pradeep Viswanathan Back in February, OpenAI first announced Lockdown Mode for users who want the most comprehensive protection from potential attacks. At the time of the announcement, the company mentioned that this feature was available to a small set of highly security-conscious users, including executives or security teams at leading organizations. Today, OpenAI announced that Lockdown Mode is now rolling out to all personal ChatGPT accounts, including Free, Go, Plus, and Pro, and also self-serve ChatGPT Business accounts. Users can enable the feature from ChatGPT Settings > Security when it is available for their account. When Lockdown Mode is enabled, ChatGPT limits or disables several features that connect to the web or external services. These include live web browsing, Deep Research, Agent Mode, and more. Here is the complete list of services that will be disabled in Lockdown Mode: Live web browsing: Web browsing is limited to accessing only cached content. Search results may be limited, unavailable, or stale. Image support: ChatGPT may not display images in regular responses or retrieve images from the web. Users can still upload image files, and image generation remains available where it is otherwise available. Deep research: Deep research is disabled. Agent mode: Agent mode is disabled. Canvas networking: Users cannot approve Canvas-generated code to access the network. File downloads: ChatGPT cannot download files for data analysis. ChatGPT can still operate on your manually uploaded files. It is important to note that Lockdown Mode does not completely block prompt injections from appearing in content that ChatGPT processes. For example, a malicious instruction could still be present in an uploaded file or cached web content. However, the mode is designed to reduce the ways such an attack could send sensitive information outside the conversation. Along with Lockdown Mode, OpenAI today also announced that the Active sessions feature is now available across ChatGPT accounts and workspace types. This feature allows users to review where their account is signed in across devices and end sessions if required. A session will have the following information displayed: Device or browser information. First-party app context, such as ChatGPT, Codex, or API Platform. Approximate location. Sign-in date and time. Whether the device is a trusted device. Whether it is your current session. OpenAI highlighted that the Active sessions feature will not be available for accounts linked to an organization’s single sign-on setup, including SAML or OIDC.
