Recommended Posts

...nevermind. i went ahead and got the bundle to check for myself.

aside from lack of narrative on the the first mp. i believe there's a sound fix for this.

theyre fine on x86.

edit:

Here's the thread in which the fix can be found for anyone interested.

I'm seriously thinking of getting Left 4 Dead 2, do you think it's worth it? I'm currently enjoying playing L4D2 but in Cyber Cafes.

After playing Left 4 Dead I dont think I'll get the 2nd one. There is no clear cut story in the game and the entire game is just killing zombies. Usually by the 3rd part in a campaign Im sick of it and just want to finish.

Anyone on 32bit Win7 and get either MaxPayne to run?

I'm contimplating getting the bundle as its beyond crackhead priced. $3.74 USD for BOTH!

According to this thread, Max Payne 1 will work on 7.

You may however run into some sound issues it sounds like, but it has instructions for that...

~$40 for mindless zombies running at you and you enjoying melee combat? I decided against it and will not buy anything until it drops under $15 or something better comes out. I can't bother spending more than $30 for a game anyways.

Well you should know then. I'd wait until the last day of the sales but in case they do a further drop before then.

thanks. yea i went ahead and purchased the bundle to check for myself. mp1 ran without any problems except for missing narrative. other sounds were present.

i followed up my post with a link to a thread (same one you just posted :D) where they have a sound fix. it seemed to work beautifully.

mp2 started up and plays through without any problems what-so-ever.

great deal!

Any chance of gifting it to me? I'll redeem you :)

How can they put Crysis on their daily deals if it's not even on sale? That's the price the package has been since the start of the holiday sale, possibly even before the sale. And $7.49 for Half-life: Source? Seriously, the game is a decade old. For a sale I would expect it to be around $1.99

I'm thinking maybe they didn't update the prices yet, Yesterday's deals are still at the sale price.

    • UK funds £60M AI labs to challenge US tech dominance with open-source models by Paul Hill The UK government has awarded £60 million to Oxford University and University College London to help keep the country in the AI race by focusing on open-source, low-hardware alternatives. This is in stark contrast to the expensive, closed-source, and high-hardware-requirement models being created in the United States and elsewhere. The money will be shared among two new academic research labs over six years to help them redesign the fundamental mathematics and architectures of AI to help the UK reduce its reliance on a handful of US tech firms. Commenting on the development, AI Minister Kanishka Narayan said: Initially, the government planned to fund just one lab with a £40 million investment, but with this update, two labs will now get access to a larger pool of funds. The labs are expected to invest in the top AI researchers at every career stage, with £2 million per lab being set aside for hiring at least ten doctoral students. The government hopes that this will grow the UK’s talent in the field of AI. The labs are also expected to work closely with the leaders in British AI research, such as the Alan Turing Institute and UKRI’s AI research hubs. This will allow the various teams to collaborate and create new solutions faster than they could alone. This development is pretty interesting for a number of reasons, chiefly that it could create a long-term challenge for US tech firms if these labs successfully scale these open-source architectures that bypass the proprietary ecosystems. It could also give British businesses and public sector organizations access to AI features without paying high licensing fees to foreign providers or needing to invest in specialized server infrastructure.
    • If I were them, I'm gonna hold out until the prices of these semiconductor parts normalize. $1,049 for a ~5 year old hardware is DoA, more so for gamers. On a deeper note, if Steam Machine is priced like this, we are soo effed up for the next gen Xbox console and PS6. With great AAA titles releasing at the end of the year, this just creates more demand...and more tears for me. Lol.
    • I suspect one reason its hard to justify subsidising is that it's not a locked down device like a traditional console is. In this climate sadly if it was a "good deal" you'd get people hoarding them for anything but gaming. The Lenovo Legion Go 2 with the Ryzen Z2 Extreme is £1300 here ($1720) for some context on how other SteamOS like devices are now priced. I got the older Z1 Extreme model for £300 with a dock, just shows how insane prices have got recently.
