[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.

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.

    • It's about to become harder to turn off your Samsung TV, thanks to Instagram by Aditya Tiwari Meta announced that its Instagram for TV app has arrived on Samsung TVs in the US as part of its latest expansion, giving users one more way to scroll through Reels. The social media giant often comes under scrutiny for the "addictiveness" of its features, which leads people to spend excessive time on the platform. Interestingly, Instagram boss Adam Mosseri described spending 16 hours on the platform as "problematic use" but not "clinical addiction." Mosseri also compared scrolling on Instagram to binge-watching a show on Netflix. Instagram for TV is now available on Samsung TV models released in 2020 or later. The app is already available on Amazon Fire TV and Google TV in the US, which together account for the majority of connected TV devices. The company said it will test several new features to improve the living room and family experience while using Instagram on the big screen. Watching vertical videos on a big screen isn't something many would be excited about. Probably that's why Meta is testing a dedicated home for horizontal videos. Creators will get the opportunity to design content for TV screens and get more ways to reach audiences, according to Meta. If you found an interesting Reel while doomscrolling on your phone, you'll be able to cast it to your TV. The feature is available for testing on Instagram for TV on Google TV and Amazon Fire TV, and it will also support videos from the Saved tab. Instagram for TV will be testing Channels organized around user interests, across genres such as comedy and sports, as well as content from favorite creators. Moreover, you can watch Stories on your TV. While Instagram is known for short-form videos, it's knocking on more doors to keep the audience hooked. The company said it's exploring new content formats for the big screen, including long-form creator content to cover topics in detail, episodic series to build suspense across multiple episodes, and creator live sessions on TV. All of the new updates put Instagram in competition with established giants like YouTube (and Netflix), which already have a robust presence on the big screen. In recent updates, Instagram added the ability to write an individual caption for each carousel image, manually re-order posts, and a paid version of the app.
    • I know RAM and storage prices are high right now, but I think it would have been better to have 1TB as the base level storage, especially as it's supposed to be for gaming. Plus a 2.5gbe ethernet port rather than only 1gbe.
    • I have installed the debloated version of Windows 11 25H2 Pro. I obtained the apps from store.rg-adguard.net. The size of the Photos app window is quite problematic for me; it consistently displays in a 16:9 aspect ratio, resembling a movie theatre screen, and cant remeber its last size and position. The Snipping Tool cannot capture the taskbar. When I select "Window" in capture mode, it allows me to capture menus or individual windows, but I am unable to capture just the taskbar. This functionality was available in version 24! I am on the same version numbers (latesst).
    • I'm already seeing my steam library, still swallowing the 16 Gb of RAM, then looking at the SD storage expansion and saying "what?".
