[Steam] Holiday Sale


Recommended Posts

Just picked up Crysis, I might buy Darwinia + Multiwinia later. My only problem now is I have too many games and not enough time to play them all.

So far I have GTA IV, STALKER, Burnout Paradise, Crysis, Crysis Warhead and Dead Space, all of which I haven't even touched yet, and there's still 3 days of deals left. Oh well, maybe these will keep me busy until next years deals :D

i advise everyone with vista/7 and dx10 card to get shattered horizon, imo its worth even full price but at 75% off its a steal !

I just picked it up, watched the trailer and it looks pretty damn interesting for sure.

if Crysis got rid of the activation limit i would be all over it.

While i agree its not fair that it should be there, its not THAT bad.

You can activate the game as many times as you like on your PC, you just cant install/play/activate on any more than (i think) 5 PCs. so as long as you dont upgrade too often etc, you should be sound.

+1

just purchased it my self

Have to remind myself to buy these games towards the end of the deal. Before when I downloaded Max Payne 2 I got speeds of 3.0 Mbp/s and got it in less than 10 minutes. Right now I am downloading Shattered Horizon at a whopping 39.7 KB/s Shame too as I wanted to check it out ASAP, oh well got some Max Payne 2 to check out again, could be worse. :laugh:

Let me know what you think of it, I'm close to hitting the "Purchase" button.

No problem I will let you know once it is done downloading and I can check it out, but feel free to check it out for yourself as I just sent you one of the three guest passes it came with. (Y)

It's not bad here, bit slow but can't complain.

I'd like a guest pass if you still have more. I'm considering it as well.

What is the Shattered Horizon all about? It seems people are singing from the roof tops about it.

Well I dont know about singing from the roofs but I will say I feel it was WELL worth the $4.99 and I have only played one match so far. Basically it is a MP FPS in Zero Gravity. So W A S D is thrust. F lets you lock onto a surface. C and Space Bar boosts I think.

It looks like you only have one weapon, but it can snipe as well, and you also have a one hit melee kill although I am thinking that may be touch to pull off. But it is pretty crazy as the first one I played took place just right in space around some satellite thing or something, so it is pretty cool being in zero gravity in space like that. With that said, I can see it getting slightly tired rather fast if there is not much variety in the maps, but for $4.99 even if it does get old rather fast I will definitely have gotten my money worth out of it, as it is just pretty fun to play.

    • FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 by Razvan Serea FotoSketcher Studio is a free creative tool that instantly turns your photos into artwork. With just a few clicks, you can apply styles like pencil sketches, watercolor, oil painting, ink drawings, cartoons, and abstract effects. Powerful yet simple sliders let you adjust every detail to match your vision, from subtle enhancements to bold artistic transformations. You can also improve your images with tools for contrast, sharpness, color, and brightness, plus add frames and text. It supports JPEG, PNG (including transparency), BMP, and WebP formats for both opening and exporting. Available for Windows (64-bit) and macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), FotoSketcher also offers batch processing, manual retouching, and custom effects for advanced users. Completely free, including commercial use, with no ads or spyware. FotoSketcher Studio 4.30 changelog: New LUTs effect In the Photo Lab category you will find a new LUTs (Lookup Tables) effect for custom colour grading. It comes with 18 presets built right into the application (Cinematic, Kodachrome, Golden hour, Portrait and more), each with a live preview so you can see the look before applying it. Right-click the preview to compare with your original image. And if you have your own .cube files, you can load those from disk too. New "Stylize" category Added a brand-new Stylize category with four new effects. Three of them (Mosaic, Circles and Triangles) are built on the same space-filling idea, turning your photo into tiled mosaics, clusters of circles, or a low-poly triangle look. The fourth, Cartoon, is a bit different: it gives a clean graphic style with defined lines and solid colours. A little tip - set the colour intensity to 0 and Cartoon draws a pure outline drawing with no fill. Combined with the "Do not erase background" option, you can run it on top of any other effect to add crisp contours in two quick steps. Auto-Enhance and Full Reset Two small but handy additions. Auto-Enhance (just press E) tries to optimise your source photo - exposure, white balance, local contrast - for a 'dehazed', natural-looking starting point. And Full Reset clears everything back to a clean slate in one step (working image, history, LUT, script, brushes and sliders) without having to close and reopen the program. Press Ctrl+Shift+N, or right-click the exit button. Scripts The script engine has been updated to support all the new effects, with a few new commands and improved help. If you would like some inspiration, the recent scripting tutorial on this blog walks through several ready-made example scripts. The usual improvements The interface now uses new colour accents for better readability, the history gallery has had a few tweaks, and you can now open .webp images directly. On top of that, this release includes some performance improvements and a good number of bug fixes.
