[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 just got myself Jade Empire.. but I don't have enough for Burnout Paradise.. :[

    • Exactly. They won't go 100 because current gen consoles are simply too old for any groundbreaking graphics or gaming experience otherwise. They will go with standard (console) price 70 or go with 80 if they really want to go premium. Of course they will have more expensive options too with some useless cosmetics as always.
    • Doesn’t surprise me at all. God is light & He gave us life so it sounds almost logical that we would therefore emit a certain amount of light.
    • This is what I want. Hey Gemini, how do I remove you from all my google products permanently?
    • I would never install install this build before rtm process. only 3 months to go. never install on your daily devices. just wait 3 months.
    • Motrix Next 3.9.6 by Razvan Serea Motrix Next is a modern, open-source cross-platform download manager built as the official next-generation successor to the original Motrix project. It has been completely rewritten using Tauri 2, Vue 3, TypeScript, and Rust, while still relying on the powerful Aria2 download engine for high-speed multi-protocol transfers. The app supports HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, BitTorrent, ED2K and magnet links, offering advanced features like multi-connection acceleration, task scheduling, bandwidth control, and batch download management. With a significantly reduced install size (around 20MB), it focuses on being lightweight, fast, and resource-efficient compared to traditional Electron-based download tools. Designed for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Motrix Next delivers a clean, modern UI inspired by Material Design 3 principles, with smooth animations and a minimal workflow. It improves usability through better download organization, system tray integration, and enhanced torrent handling including selective file downloads and tracker management. Motrix Next features: Multi-protocol downloads — HTTP, FTP, BitTorrent, Magnet, .torrent, ED2K, and Metalink tasks BitTorrent — Selective file download, DHT, peer exchange, encryption controls, metadata caching, GeoIP peer flags, and tracker probing Browser extension integration — Embedded Extension API with independent authentication, download confirmation, smart auto-submit, filename hints, referer/cookie forwarding, and real-time controls (Chrome Web Store · Edge Add-ons) Safe filename handling — Content-Disposition, RFC 2047, non-UTF-8, percent-encoded, and extensionless URL resolution with path traversal sanitization Download organization — Favorite and recent folders, optional file-type categorization, stale-record cleanup, and completed history backed by SQLite Concurrent downloads — Independent controls for active tasks, HTTP connections per server, segments per file, and BT peer limits Speed control — Global and per-task upload/download limits with day-of-week and time-of-day scheduling System integration — Tray operation, optional tray speed display, macOS Dock badge/progress, protocol handlers for magnet://, thunder://, and motrixnext:// Lightweight mode — Destroys the WebView on minimize-to-tray while Rust keeps the engine, task monitor, notifications, history, and extension routing alive Notifications and power options — Native task start/complete/failure notifications, keep-awake during downloads, and optional shutdown after completion Network controls — Scoped proxy support for downloads, app updates, and tracker updates, plus system proxy detection Auto-update channels — Stable, Beta, and Latest Across Channels policies with separate download and install phases Diagnostics — Structured logs, exportable diagnostic ZIPs, database integrity checks, automatic DB rebuild, and Linux GPU rendering fallback Personalization — Light/dark/system theme, 10 color schemes, 26 languages, and first-launch system language detection Motrix Next 3.9.6 changelog: New Features Clipboard management — App-owned copy actions no longer trigger the Add Task auto-detect popup. aria2 input compatibility — Multi-line aria2-style task input is supported for URLs with per-task options such as out=. BitTorrent IPv6 DHT — Added IPv6 DHT support and related configuration. File category URL patterns — File category rules can match URL patterns with validation and localized hints. Task status tags — Added clearer waiting and sharing states for task cards. Download event bridge — Added an aria2 WebSocket event bridge for faster download notifications. Improvements Improved task list transitions and preserved task state during tab switches. Kept RPC origin access enabled for local integrations. Restored AppImage stripping in release builds after beta validation. Added localized preference guidance across supported languages.
