[Steam] Holiday Sale


Recommended Posts

Sigh...

I wish I could use my Maestro card I got from AIB to buy stuff on steam.

But noooooooooooooooooo.

I guess im lucky, since id probably be broke by now if I could.

Gonna go nag at the onsite AIB on my lunch later. I want a bloody visa or master card so I can buy stuff online again, not being able to do that is a pain!

A PAIN!

Make an empty PayPal account and set up your Maestro card as a fallback on there. Then just pay via PayPal?

How much is the DLC for Burnout Paradise from Steam? Scratch this. Big Surf Island isn't coming to PC. Damn console humpers.

Irish Maestro cards are beyond useless online. If you can get a proper credit card go for it. Or you could apply for a 3V card and use prepaid visa vouchers. The costs are a bit high and they expire after a couple of months, but it's better than nothing.

Prey: $2.25

Space Siege: $4.99

Killing Floor: $4.99

Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box: $7.49

The Orange Box: $14.99

Orange Box is tempting to get but I already have HL Ep 1 and TF2.

Prey is sold out. They've added bioshock to the deals now ($4.99/?4.99).

If I hadn't already beat Bioshock twice, once on Hard (and without dying), I would be all over that.

I personally brought Bioshock last time it was ?3.49 and I personally consider it the best ?3.49 I ever spent on a game, its a wonderful game and I would advise anyone who hasn't got it already to buy it.

Pretty damn sure I am about to buy Killing Floor. Been eying it up forever now and for $4.99 figure I cannot go wrong, even if it sucks it is $5 and I doubt it is going to suck. Anyone have any feedback about the game who might have played it?

EDIT - I already purchased it but still am interested in some feedback. I figure next time I want some fast food I will eat a bowl of cereal instead and I just payed for it. :laugh:

^ Here's a video of some gameplay. It speaks more than a few words from a fellow Neowinian.

Thanks for this video. I think I should like it, reminds me very much of Zombie mode in CoD WaW, just a bit different, and different is not always bad.

I think of it as a toned down Left 4 Dead with a shopkeeper who has the courage to keep selling weapons and ammunition at reasonable prices in the middle of a zombie apocalypse. :p

Looks like they dropped the price of Company of Heroes: Tales of Valor, Mr. Robot and Silent Hill Homecoming by $0.01 since the deals were first posted. :rofl:

There's nothing today that interests me. Picked up Bioshock and Burnout yesterday. Anyway, if I buy more games I don't think I'm going to download them anytime soon. I've already used half my download quota for the month and it doesn't get reset until Jan. 19th :angry:

Figures ..the day I go out of town.. Burnout Paradise: The Ultimate Box: $7.49.

Damn it. I really, REALLY wanted that too.

Anyone feeling in the christmasy spirit still? :(

    • I used a Pixel 10 Pro XL when it first came out for about 8 months. When I first got it, it was using Google assistant and that was fast, when asking it to call somone etc. Then it automatically switched with some update to Gemini. Doing even the simplist of things like asking it to call someone in my contacts was soooooo slow compared to Google assistant. I guess it had to go out to the cloud to do that? Back on iPhone and while Siri is dumb right now, it does do those simple things, like call someone, set a timer, star the stop watch etc, really fast. That an while I like Google Material Design 3 over iOS 26, they Pixel 10 Pro XL was so slow in comparison to the iPhone 17 Pro I am using.
    • I use Gemini in my rotation of AI clients...that work pays for. It is good at most things, better than copilot for imgage searching and making images, worse at writing vs Claude and way worse at hadling technical issues when it comes to Azure stuff. I also use YT premium and maps. Anything else Google is a pass for me. I have now seen multiple people locked out of their Google accounts for reasons that are just very vauge.
    • Microsoft is building an AI datacenter that "uses less water than a fast food restaurant" by Ivan Jenic Image: Microsoft Microsoft has announced plans to build a new datacenter campus in Pecos, Texas, as the company continues to invest billions in AI infrastructure. The new facility, called project Kilby, will reportedly have a capacity of 2 gigawatts and will be one of the largest single capacity additions in the company’s history. To power the campus, Microsoft signed a 20-year deal with Chevron to supply natural gas from the Permian Basin, America's largest oil field. This deal is set to become the largest collaboration to date between a U.S. oil and gas giant and Big Tech. It’s no secret that Big Tech has often been criticized for exploiting natural resources for its AI developments. Microsoft is trying to mitigate some of that negative consensus by promising to build its own power supply for the new datacenter, independent of the public grid. The Pecos datacenter will be powered by a power plant hub, built by Chevron, with up to 2.5 gigawatts of gas-fired capacity, with potential to scale to up to 5 gigawatts. The facility will include at least seven GE Vernova turbines, with first power potentially coming online as early as late 2027 or early 2028. The power plant hub is part of an approximately $7 billion investment by Chevron, making it one of the largest dedicated energy projects tied to a single datacenter campus in the U.S. Microsoft hasn’t publicly disclosed the amount it’s investing in the new datacenter. Microsoft has also committed to implementing a closed-loop cooling system that will only require an initial water charge to operate. The company said that “the total lifecycle water use of this datacenter is only a fraction of that consumed annually by a typical fast-food restaurant.” What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, or how a 20-year fossil fuel commitment squares with the company's pledge to be carbon negative by 2030. The construction of the new datacenter should provide over 6,000 construction jobs at peak build-out, and create hundreds of operational job roles once the facility is built. Via: Reuters
