[Steam] Holiday Sale


Recommended Posts

Yeah, when games are this cheap it is hard not to buy them. This Steam sale is one of the best things on the internet ever.

I sometimes wonder if games/dvds were this cheap all the time, if piracy would be no longer and the game manfctrs would make more money too. win win surely.
I'm picking up mass effect for sure. I'm on the fence about the DOOM pack. I've never played Doom 3, but I've heard good things about it. Anyone recommend picking it up?

Edit:

Hmm...After looking at the system requirements it says Vista/7 not supported. Has anyone gotten Doom 3 to run on Windows 7 x64?

Both DOOM 3 and DOOM 3 Resurrection of Evil run on Windows 7 x64.

EDIT: Btw...

I picked up the Doom Collection even though I already had them all retail; I wanted them on Steam as well. Also, my old copies of Ultimate doom/doom II/Final Doom were the Win95 versions, and Steam's are the original DOS versions, so the collector's side of me is happy (even though I'll usually be playing those DOS versions with ZDoom anyways. :p).

I already had Mass Effect; anxiously awaiting for ME2 to be released and for my Collector's Edition pre-order to ship. :D

Everyone who bought Mass Effect, don't forget to pick up your free DLC. http://masseffect.bioware.com/me1/galactic...ownthesky.html/

It seems to have installed fine, but I haven't had a chance to play it yet.

It works fine; I recently completed a playthrough of the Steam version of Mass Effect and both the free Bring Down the Sky DLC and the $5 (from the EA Store) Pinnacle Station DLC installed and worked (for me, anyways) without issue. :)

Aw. Mass Effect on PC is far better than the console offering. I can't play the Xbox 360 version much, but this one is so mcuh easier to play. xD

I feel more in control of my guys and more confident with manually levelling up and such. *shrug* Great game.

Damnit, I'm trying to purchase the Doom Pack put paypal keeps getting refused. I even tried to use my credit card, and even that gets refused.

Yeah, same here. I get an error message, 'There has been an internal error initializing your transaction. Please contact support for assistance'. I'm trying to buy Mass Effect.

It's recommended that you launch the game at least once before installing the DLC.

    • The memory and nvme can be swapped and upgraded with standard parts. But the GPU cannot, which is the weakest part of the box. It's a dead product at these prices.
    • Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.
    • Apparently, Microsoft doesn't use water in their taps, washrooms or clean their facility. /sarc
    • Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
