Every time there's a Steam sale lately, I find myself reminiscing back to a time when they were actually great sales. I remember getting older games cheaper years ago than they go on sale for now. Games that would before be on sale 75% off by now are only 40-50%. I used to pick up year-old AAA...

This has to be a troll post...79/100 is a really good score. If 50 is average, there should not be an overabundance of 80+ scored games, or else the scale would simply shift, meaning 80 is the new 50. That being said, it's a number. Read the content of the review, and pay little attention to the...

Yes, for sure. I have a 500GB drive hooked up to my Xbox 1 and I can only install 4 or 5 games at a time, it's a joke. Anything under 2TB now is borderline unusable when dealing with games or media files now.

I either sell them, throw them away, or they go into the electronics graveyard residing in my basement.

Nope, all my money went into one set of monitors that are a "best" fit for my needs in my budget. I couldn't imagine having more monitors on my desk, or having to buy a monitor just for one specific task. Maybe if I made a living doing photography or something I could justify it, but even then...

One of the best action games from last gen, super underplayed and underappreciated. Really glad this made it to Steam (along with Bayonetta). I'd also really like to see Mad World, and Bayonetta 2 for that matter come next, but I have my doubts. Especially considering Nintendo's involvement with...

Absolutely worth adding to your Steam library before it's too late. Remedy's best game, IMO.

As someone who owns a DX Racer, I can say firsthand that they're not worth it. It isn't a bad chair, it's fine, but I was just as happy in my $100 Office Depot chair I had before. If you have the budget for a branded chair, look into a higher-quality office chair that will offer you better...

If you can't afford a 7 Plus, it's probably best to just stick with your 6s. I'm not saying the Plus is better (I prefer the smaller form factor of the 7) but if the extra cost margin of the 7 Plus compared to the 7 is your breaking point, your money is probably best served elsewhere. The 6s is...

Chrome is pretty much the only browser I've used for a couple years now. Before that it was Firefox.

So after pulling out two drives and letting it rebuild the data it seems to be working fine now. Thanks for the help!

Hrmm could be a bad drive, I recently had a drive in there die and replaced it with a new one and thought everything was fine but might not have detected the new drive yet. It's loaded with 4x3TB drives with a total capacity of 8.15TB taking into account the space allocated for data protection...

I've been using my Drobo for years now (I have the old USB version, I think it was V2 of the product) and it's been great but recently it's become slow. I mean unrealistically slow. A 750mb file took overnight to transfer from my desktop PC's internal drive to my Drobo. This also isn't due to...

Thanks guys, will wait it out for a bit :)

We all know about MacRumor's Apple Buying Guide but I was just wondering what people here thought. I want to get an iMac, but seeing as there hasn't been an update for a little bit is there likely to be an update soon after I purchase? And if so would this update be worth waiting for or in all...

Fixed...for some reason it wasn't set up for DHCP, so that did the trick. Thanks everyone, appreciate the tips :)

Just one router, and no IP address is assigned, says no internet address. It is sending packets to the router but not receiving any. EDIT: and the router is not WAP, right now there is no security on it.

So I have a Netgear N600 WNDR3700 wireless router setup at home, and it works great for wireless, but when I plug in my desktop with CAT6 Ethernet cable to the router (didn't bother putting a wifi card in my desktop) for some reason it won't connect to the internet. I know the cable works...

Amazon has DoW II: Retribution for $7.49. Less than half of the Steam "sale" price. Yes, I believe you can activate this through Steam, though :D...

Pretty lame that they just re-capped sales today...was hoping for some good surprise deals that we didn't see coming... Anyhow, picked up Borderlands DLC Pack, Eufloria, The Misadventures of P.B. Winterbottom, Solar 2 and Aquaria today.

Just The Last Remnant for me today. Which is good because my wallet needed the break :p

Probably a couple years old...lots of stuff on Steam I get during sales that I won't play for a long time after.

What do you like better...if RPGs, then Fallout. If RTS, then Empire. If you like both genres equally enough though, I say Fallout and wait for a better sale on Empire.

Bit on Audiosurf, Lara Croft Guardian of Light + DLC and Sanctum today...was maybe going to go for Risen but didn't get on Steam today until after they bumped their price up...now it's a little too rich for my blood :p

Also decided to bite on Atom Zombie Smasher. Have heard good things.

Much like I did with Darksiders, I think I'm going to buy Batman and sell my 360 copy :D

Ordered mine this morning :D I was all ready to go with this exactly RAM for my build, I just hadn't ordered it yet (thankfully) but now I get to save myself $50.

Today's buys: Monday Night Combat (was really hoping for a good deal on this one! Glad to see it) Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition Monkey Island 2: Le Chuck's Revenge Special Edition Beat Hazard DLC Samorost 2

You're right, I don't really need or want Ultimate. I was simply going to get it if the eBay thing seemed legit or reliable. I was looking at OEM Pro versions earlier and will be going with that :) Thanks guys.

Alright thanks. Figured as much, glad I checked here first :cool:

I really need to adopt a Steam policy like this :p

I really hope you're right. I do NOT want to have to buy a new console next year either. That being said, I do honestly believe we'll see a successor at the end of next year. Microsoft likes to display new tech/hardware fairy late into the development cycle and get it to market soon after, all...

Saw this listing on eBay for a brand new, sealed copy of Windows 7 Ultimate (the full version, not upgrade) for around $70 with free shipping. The buyer is located in New York and has some positive feedback, but it is all for him as a buyer not seller. The listing says there are "more than 10...

I could never go back to any other antimalware application other than MSE on Windows. It's always worked like a charm for me and I've been using it since early days.

100% agree. Especially on the PC side of things, I'll choose to wait and pay during a Steam sale over pirating something (even if that means getting it before launch) any day of the week.

AVP no, Metro yes. Other recommendations I'd give would be the S.T.A.L.K.E.R. games (probably grab them cheap on a daily something during this current Steam sale). Also, Singularity is on sale today for $7.49 on Steam. Really fun shooter for that price, IMO.

I'ts way more Zelda than DMC or God of War, IMO. Especially once it gets rolling.

Yea I agree. I understand what they were trying to do seeming like you were getting a "free copy" to gift, but I'd much rather just have a decent/better price on the game and not have to worry about selling an extra copy. Really hope this isn't something indie devs start doing...it's too bad...

Although I got the least number of games today, I spent the most money :( Was really hoping Steam would be blowing out some of these games for cheaper... Regardless of that, I picked up Fallout: NV and DLC, and Singularity. On the fence over Frozen Synapse...was really hoping for like $7.49 at...
