Free stuff:
There are quite a few free games (mostly Free to Play) and mods available via the Steam platform, a comprehensive list of which can be found in this thread on the SPUF.

You forgot: With Russian pricing! Also you guys and your crazy HD requirements. I rarely have more than three or four games installed at once.

Well, word documents containing your 1000s upon 1000s of pages of manifestos about why all game suck would take up considerably less space than games.

 
Wat?!?!

If I could get a ~$250 Steam Machine with an APU running Steam OS I'd probably get one. A nicely built machine that was compact, quiet, and cool for local indies, streamed games from my desktop, and MythTV (I already use a HTPC DVR setup) sounds great to me.

So you're saying the game passed him a note that said, "DO U LIKE ME? Y / N" and he felt so bad, he circled "Y"?

No, I'm saying the game turned to him mid-intercourse and said "I like you" and he said "I like you too" because it was the least awkward thing to say and also, he didn't want to stop.

So you're saying...I own a delisted game?

:pray: :whee: :D/

Actually that's not quite true. The Steam versions of Rayman Origins, Call of Juarez, and now Rocksmith 2014 don't require uPlay to run, so at least a few (typically their smaller games or franchises) are exception to the general ubisoft/uplay rule.

Most of their old games doesn't require uPlay, Might & Magic: Clash of Heroes was the first Ubisoft game I bought from steam that doesn't require uPlay, the same goes for Heroes of Might & Magic V.

That is around the size of OUYA except that OUYA has a slicker design.

If you're ever feeling down, play Pinball FX

That is all.

Certainly quite the FPS, I must say. ;)

That's b/c everybody probably really wants Fallout 4. ;)

I know that's what I want.

And for it to be moddable and offline-only, too. ;)

And this flag will likely be waved by everybody who probably bought Aliens: CM + London 2012 for $2 each last month. ;)

 
Oh, huh. Just realized I never bought Savant Ascent on the final day of the sale as planned. Derp.

Also, I continue to be disappointed I missed the Build A Doujin Bundle. Left it for the last day, and then ended up away from the computer too long. Grumble.

I played that for about ten hours before I realized it's just life in fast motion. I can just redecorate my own house versus doing it in a game!

The last time I enjoyed a The SIms game was back in college where friends asked me to add them to my neighborhood and wanted to know how they were getting by. Without the social aspect, the next iteration felt alarmingly uninteresting.

Fortunately, now there's Facebook which, in a sense, functions in the same way as the original game. Just with slightly fewer house fires.

Remember the Fallout 4 Hoax?

However there are some leaked documents that suggest Fallout 4 is real.

If it makes you feel any better, since Savant is out on the Humble Store with versions available for PC, Mac, Linux, and Android, it's a very likely candidate for their next Humble Mobile Bundle.

Great game with an awesome soundtrack. Easily worth the $1 I paid for it and then some.

Yeah, I figured the chances for bundling were good, but that it was worth the buck to have now. I did grab Unholy Heights at only half off by similar reasoning, though. Maybe I'll throw some time at that one soon instead.

War has changed.

It's not about nations, or ideologies.
It's not even about profit, resources, or ethnicity.

It's an endless series of proxy battles,
fought by mercenaries and machines.

War, and its vast consumption of human life,
has become a rational, well-oiled business transaction.

War has changed.

ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons,
use ID-tagged gear.

Nanomachines inside their bodies
enhance and regulate their actions.

Genetic control.. Information control..
Emotion control.. Battlefield control.

Everything is monitored, and kept under control.

War has changed.

The age of deterrence is now the age of control,
averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction.

And he who controls the battlefield, controls history.

War has changed.

When the battlefield is under total control,

War becomes routine.

$700 for a 760 card and i3 CPU is pretty meh.
Click to expand...
Pairing an i3 with a 760 seem strange to me... I don't know for sure, but I don't think the i3 could keep up with everything the 760 can handle. I'm sometimes CPU-limited with my X3-720 and GTX 660... somewhat rare but it happens (TSW comes to mind... trying to remember which couple single-player games...)

Foxhack said:
Neither.

I imagine a lot of people will expect these to have a flavor of Windows even if it says it doesn't. People see a computer and they expect Windows, not a Linux variant.

If they're sold as consoles the question is: what games do they have?

This is the segment that makes most sense to me because (1) most of the steam-linux library is graphically undemanding (indie or source-engine) and (2) at higher price points it becomes a normal gaming PC.

I see someone doesn't have experience with military contracts...

 
Crazy request I know, but does anyone have a spare Steam key for Metro 2033? I have a friend with an FPS itch, and I figure this will be a good intro to the genre.

nah it should be fine most i3 are much faster than your 720

http://www.anandtech.com/Bench/CPU/2

generally I cant recall a game- that any recent cpu wont reach 60 fps(except civ 5)

and thats the target frames for most(even more so for the budget concsious)

bigger values are mostly for stats and benchmarks

in any way i dont think that 760 would be cpu bound from these i3-

should be sameish to phenom 955

maybe worst case 90-95 % gpu usage in very few scenarios,but thats negligible anyway
