[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.. :[

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
