Dirt 3 and F1 50% off, so Codemasters weekend deal I guess.

 

[Oreoleo]

Didn't see this posted yet, apologies if "old":

Dear Steam Users and Steam Forum Users:

Our Steam forums were defaced on the evening of Sunday, November 6. We began investigating and found that the intrusion goes beyond the Steam forums.

We learned that intruders obtained access to a Steam database in addition to the forums. This database contained information including user names, hashed and salted passwords, game purchases, email addresses, billing addresses and encrypted credit card information. We do not have evidence that encrypted credit card numbers or personally identifying information were taken by the intruders, or that the protection on credit card numbers or passwords was cracked. We are still investigating.

We don’t have evidence of credit card misuse at this time. Nonetheless you should watch your credit card activity and statements closely.

While we only know of a few forum accounts that have been compromised, all forum users will be required to change their passwords the next time they login. If you have used your Steam forum password on other accounts you should change those passwords as well.

We do not know of any compromised Steam accounts, so we are not planning to force a change of Steam account passwords (which are separate from forum passwords). However, it wouldn’t be a bad idea to change that as well, especially if it is the same as your Steam forum account password.

We will reopen the forums as soon as we can.

I am truly sorry this happened, and I apologize for the inconvenience.

Gabe.

Ain't that some shit :\

edit: k just saw the huge thread on the front page about it. im a dumb

The Racing Bundle is 66% off.

Don't you have any friends with a PC that contains either a Nvidia or ATI card UnluckyKate? You could also go to a cyber cafe that has windows PC, i bet some of those have recognizable ATI/Nvidia cards even if they are integrated.

I have them, but I wanted a friend who just jump in the Steam boat to get the conventional welcoming present

 

[ezekial45]

Kinda hoping Morrowind and Oblivion would be on the weekend deal, in honor of Skyrim.

 

[snoopeasystreet]

changed my steam password just in case.

 

[Piercedveil]

Anyone else getting this? :/ Tried restarting Steam and everything.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Anyone else getting this? :/ Tried restarting Steam and everything.

Yes, it happened to me a few days ago with Hamilton's Great Adventure. I will try it again tonight.

 

[Phanatic8390]

Wow this is a weekend deal that I would have totally jumped on right away... until about 2 hours ago.

 

[Oreoleo]

Yeah, got it when trying to launch TF2.

 

[Piercedveil]

Yeah, got it when trying to launch TF2.

Seems to be fixed now. I got a weird updating thing when trying to launch TF2 earlier. Seems okay now, I think.

 

[Weenerz]

Lurkers and GAFers alike, enjoy this free game.

There's a new indie royale bundle

ah cool, will get it

It's only barely 4 months old and a 50% off sale would bring it down to $10.00. I'd imagine the discount will apply on 4 packs, too, bringing that price down to 7.50 per copy.

Expecting more than that, this early on, is just unrealistic.

 

[Dice]

E.Y.E. is tempting...

 

[Sober]

E.Y.E. is tempting...

It is, but I think I'm going to lay low with Steam until the Christmas sale because of the forum hack, just in case. (Even though I have nothing to worry about and I'll probably whip it out when it does show up)

That and I should work on my backlog.

 

[Dice]

Thing is I want to keep that money on hand for the next inevitable sale on Paradox strategy titles.

 

[coopolon]

I can help one more person out with getting Skyrim tonight from Direct2Drive for $45.86 as long as you can paypal. I seem to recall people earlier asking.

 

[Dog Problems]

Has anyone else noticed Sideway: New York under coming soon? I love the artstyle and the gameplay looks fun.

That looks really cool. Ninja platformer style.

Oh wow, that looks really awesome. Definitely on my radar now.

This is available on PSN right ? I remember first seeing this on the PS blog

Looks good. Wishlisted! Might buy on release depending on the price.

Excellent. Was going to grab it on PSN but will wait for the inevitable $2 steam sale.

Did you try deleting clientregistry.blob?
Did you try changing download servers?

 

[jaundicejuice]

Holy shit, L.A. Noire released before Skyrim, I started installing LA Noire before I preloaded SKyrim. Skyrim not only finished preloading first but it managed to decrypt itself a (usually a clusterfuck) day early without issue...and my install for L.A. Noire is still slowly chugging along. L.A. Noire has like 4GBs on Skyyrim but damn, I swear I installed Rage faster than this.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Just curious,if you got a game with machine limits will it let you know right away when installing or what?

 

[Dog Problems]

It depends on the game and the type of DRM. SecuROM normally does. What game is it?

Yea securom was the one I was most curious about. No particular game I got just a random question I had.

 

[The Mana Legend]

I have been waiting forever for F1 2010 to go on sale, but F1 2011 just went on sale for 50% off, so I can't complain!

Very happy considering I got Dirt 3 for free with my new PC, and Codemasters is my favorite racing developer of this generation.

 

[Drkirby]

Any of you guys know something about a Cave Story+

47MB, has a OS X version.

 

[Popstar]

Probably the same thing that's on the Mac App Store.

http://itunes.apple.com/ca/app/cave-story/id456447717?mt=12

Will double dip (have Wii version) when it's available on sale.

 

[Drkirby]

I have a bit of a hunch it may end up being in the Alpha Fund Indie Royal Bundle in a month, but that is just speculation.

[Popstar]

Hmmm. I was expecting the Alpha Fund bundle to be stuff in alpha, like Voxatron in the current Humble Bundle. But that's just a guess off the name.

EDIT: and the post above explains it.

 

[Dice]

Edit: lol double beaten

Edit 2: Several alpha fund games on Desura excite me.

Yeah same here. I've had my eye on Project Zomboid for awhile.

Any upcoming RPG's in the registry besides Risen 2? (like lesser known ones)

 

[Dice]

Just put together a list of the most interesting indie games to me in no particular order.

Oil Rush
King Arthur's Gold
Project Zomboid
Wizorb
Cave Story
Project Black Sun
Dreamscape
Mos Speedrun
To the Moon
Survivors of Ragnarök
Cardinal Quest
Navigator
Wyv and Keep: The Temple of The Lost Idol
Crystal Towers 2
Mechanic Infantry
Drains
8-bit Commando

-non Desura-
Owlboy
Grim Dawn
The Blackwell Series (only one of 4 is on Desura)
The Shivah
Ultratron

 

[Dog Problems]

I've played Mos Speedrun from the iOS store and it's fun. A pretty simple 2D platformer but still enjoyable.

 

[Aselith]

Where's my preload for Saints Row, homies?

 

[Nelo Ice]

Where's my preload for Saints Row, homies?

Think the preload starts tomorrow, speaking of which hope gmg sends out keys by then.

 

[Kerrby]

Where's my preload for Saints Row, homies?

Dude, we don't even get our keys until the minute it releases; no pre-load for us .

EDIT: or not ^^? Maybe I've been told wrong.

So this bundle is already an alpha funding bundle ? Seen as all games are in the alpha funding section of Desura ?

 

[morningbus]

All we know for now is that there is an upcoming bundle called the Alpha Fund bundle. Desura, the company behind the Indie Royale bundle, has a page up on their site for "Alpha fund" games, games you pay the upfront cost for now for access to preview builds and an eventual full copy sometime in the future.

This means that, most likely, the games in that bundle will be culled from the games in that alpha fund section on Desura.

Edit: I think understand what you're asking now. When you hit "browse all" on the site, for some reason, it brings up the full list of games available on Desura. The only alpha fund games currently available are the 9 listed on that page currently.
