Saw the WASD in the OP and thought this might be relevant to putting in the first post.

Kick ass. (Y)

That was designed and made into an old school animated gif by yours truly. :punk:

I am definitely all for putting it in the first post if Anaron is into it. That would definitely be very cool, although I designed it for use by myself originally, I am more than happy and in fact honored if people want to use it for their own use.

I strongly recommend Batman: Arkham Asylum. (Y)

I have put the game off for quite a while now. It only has 10-12 hours of gameplay and is very linear. I played the demo and didn't think the game would be worth it until getting it from the bargain bin or some crazy Steam holiday sale for less than $10.

Not to derail this thread with discussion but my Steam says I have 18 hours in the game. That's with only playing the challenge modes for no more than an hour or two at most.

I just picked up Oblivion: Game of the Year edition for $8.49. :3

Morrowind is on sale for $5 and Fallout 3 GOTY is going for $25.

I was thinking about buying that for the last week or two. I'm glad I waited. :laugh:

Steam link for those interested:

I've seen Metro 2033 in a couple of places here (a supermarket and an indie shop) for a penny under a tenner (that's £9.99 for anyone unable to understand that lol) so I dare say it'll be dropping to that price pretty much everywhere soon, even on steam. Main reasons would be less that stellar reviews and widespread problems with game mechanics actually breaking gameplay from time to time I'd assume.

Where did you get the link from showing you all the deals?

4 games there I want, not sure if I should get Dead Space now or wait for a Dead Space pack same with Mass Effect, I really hope it's not just CC4 Tiberium Twilight, RA3 and CC3, would be good if they decided to add the last decade pack to steam.

I'm tempted to get BFBC2, should I?

I got it for $17 from a Chinese ebay seller. It was a EA Digital Download so I simply turned the downloaded files into an .iso so I can install the game whenever I want with the key I bought. I mentioned it a few weeks ago. $33 is still too high in my opinion since there is an expansion pack coming out this winter so there will be a Bad Company 2 GOTY edition or "Complete Edition" next year or so.

Someone modified the steam links (replace Monday with Tuesday, etc.) and posted the image on another site I frequently visit. Steam purposely does this and has done this with recent deals.

    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The $1,428 option The Steam Hardware lineup that Valve announced last year is slowly starting to roll out. Following the recent Steam Controller launch, Valve has now confirmed the price of the Steam Machine, its all-in-one console-like solution for PC gaming in the living room. There are currently four variants being presented, with only the storage and the included controller being the biggest differences. All of the Steam Machines have the same internals consisting of a semi-custom AMD Zen 4 CPU with six cores and 12 threads, an RDNA 3 28CU GPU, 16GB of DDR5 memory, and 8GB of GDDR6 VRAM, all inside the familiar box Valve has been showing off for months now. The Steam Machine base model starts at $1,049. This has a 512GB NVMe SSD but does not come with a Steam Controller. Keep in mind that storage can be expanded with the microSD card slot too. Next, the $1,128 model has the exact same storage as the previous one but it does come with the new Steam Controller. If you need the Steam Machine to have more storage for games and apps than that, then the 2TB tiers are also available. The $1,349 Steam Machine has no controller once again, but it does ship with two extra faceplates (red fabric and solid walnut) to replace the standard black one. The final option costs $1,428, and it adds the controller back into the bundle. The Steam Machine ships with the Linux-based SteamOS. The box has a 1 Gigabit Ethernet port, DisplayPort 1.4, and HDMI 2.0, as well as one USB-C and four USB-A ports. Keep in mind that when purchasing standalone, the Steam Controller has a $100 price tag. With the above bundles, that drops to $80. It's a rather expensive machine for the internals it is touting, though the design and small form factor do help it somewhat. However, at the same time, the lack of upgradability hurts it. Valve says the ongoing parts shortages and massive price hikes for memory were the leading causes for this price. "The overall effect is that our original goal for the price of Steam Machine is no longer viable," added the company. "So the prices we're sharing today reflect the state of the world for manufacturing; or, more accurately, it reflects the price of the components as we've secured them over the past 6 months." Valve wants interested gamers to reserve it now to get the chance to pre-order a Steam Machine starting June 25, with shipping starting on June 29. Head here to sign up. The invites to buy it will be sent in a randomized order.
    • What the press release doesn’t mention, however, is how much water the natural gas plant itself will consume, Natural gas plants use about 2,803 gallons of water per megawatt-hour produced, which is significantly less than coal-fired plants that use around 19,185 gallons per megawatt-hour. Overall, natural gas plants are more water-efficient, using 584% less water than traditional power plants on average. AI generated
