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.

/~50 hours played

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.

    • Microsoft confirms Windows 11 26H2 to finally get one of the most requested features by Sayan Sen This past week Microsoft officially confirmed Windows 11 version 26H2 with the latest build, 26300.8697, for testing in the experimental Insider channel. The company also published more details about it mainly directed towards IT admins and system admins. Essentially version 26H2 will be delivered via an enablement package (eKB) over Windows 11 25H2. If you are wondering about some of the upcoming features in the next Windows version, one of them is certainly very interesting as Microsoft has confirmed it is finally bringing one of the most overwhelmingly requested features ever. March Rogers, the Partner Director of Design at Microsoft, recently highlighted some of the Search improvements that the company is testing, and during the interaction with users on X where he posted it, Rogers also confirmed that the company is working on disabling web search results inside Search. This is something which many users find quite annoying as Windows would often serve them links to Bing which it feels could be more helpful rather than bringing up the actual object or app the user may be searching for on their PC. Finally though the company is prioritizing local file search over the web. However the feature could not be disabled for many users as not all new features are immediately rolled out to everyone. Image via phantomofearth (X) Windows enthusiast phantomofearth who likes to dig deep into new builds uncovered the IDs you will need to enable these features. Using the following feature IDs the new Search-related features landing in Windows 11 26H2 can be used. Follow the steps below to enable the new Search experience on Windows 11 build 26300.8697: Download ViveTool from GitHub and unpack the files in a convenient and easy-to-find folder. Press Win + X and select Terminal (Admin). Switch Windows Terminal to the Command Prompt profile with the Ctrl + Shift + 2 shortcut or by clicking the arrow-down button at the top of the window. Navigate to the folder containing the ViveTool files with the CD command. For example, if you have placed ViveTool in C:\Vive, type CD C:\Vive. Type vivetool /enable /id: and press Enter. Restart your computer. If you change your mind and want to restore, repeat the steps above and replace /enable with /disable in the commands on steps 5 and 6. Delightedly and perhaps also expectedly, once you disable web search and other such bloat, the Windows 11 Search is said to get snappier as remarked by another Windows enthusiast Xeno.
