Unlimited Capacity
They have. My friend had to verify his identity to be able to install Dawn of War 2 after a while.

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Oh, didn't know it's like that now, because before I could still see the games with used up card drops.
Oh, Guru3d! I remember that site. From back when overclocking was a thing. (Is that still a thing?)
Christ, that should never have to happen. Imagine having to do that to play Atelier Totori.
My 4.6GHz 2600K says "yes".
On air?

So I'm assuming if you play Orion Dino Horde during the free trial it won't drop any cards?
Games with cards you have played recently (like, in the last week, maybe two, I think) are in the badges list.
Most 2600K can do 4.6 on air. My 3570K can do 4.6 on air and that is not supposed to be a great overclocker. I leave it at 4.5 though. A little too high temps.
It's easier than ever. For low level overclocks you literally just change one number up with a K processor.

Is there still a possibility of more games being added to the Humble Bundle today?

Fortunately, I have two Steam contacts doing the daily challenge. Otherwise, people on GAF are not playing everyday.

OG 3ds or xl? I'm kind of thinking of trading in my 3ds for an xl unit
Awesome! I already have Amnesia but I didn't have the rest. I am on that even though I need to spend a little more to get it!
I have to say, I'm glad that I opted to pay the premium for the 2600K over the 2500K as I knew we'd be getting into the next generation of consoles with Intel still locking its hex-core offerings behind the "enthusiast" price bracket. I'm hoping the company finally gets its thumb out of its arse next year with Broadwell -- give me that ~$350 eight-core 5600K.
I meant stock cooler, but yeah you have more speed than you'll ever need.
Some super popular, some not.. mostly from my inventory, not definitive by any means.
To the Moon
YMMV, borrows a lot from Eternal Sunshine.. the ending is worth it, drags a little, has silly moments
The Swapper
Lengthy philosophical, creepy sci-fi story
Gone Home
YMMV, people love it or hate it. Set in the 90s, game of discovery finding out what happened to your family after a trip abroad
Alan Wake
Stephen King meets Twin Peaks
Braid
Time manipulation platformer with a story twist.
Monster Loves You
Choose your own adventure type story in the style of the old 1980s game Alter-Ego
The Stanley Parable
Non-steam, free, stand alone add using Garys Mod/Source Engine
Thomas Was Alone
Found in a lot of bundles recently, fairly cheap
Waking Mars
Metroidvania style exploration of Mars, bringing it back to life
Cart Life
Simulation game about harsh reality of street vendors
Papers Please
Lots of endings, simulation game of being a border crossing inspector
Kentucky Route Zero
Episodic, halfway through, very atmospheric
Mark of the Ninja, Guacamelee
Platformers - stealth/fighting
Gunpoint
Detective/stealth
Pid
Tough platformer
Shadowrun Returns
3-4 storylines with more to come; turn based strategy rpg
Oh, nah, that thing I just threw into the bin.
I gave my old CPU + HSF (E6420 and... something high-end) to a mate so he could at least run CS:S well, but his original motherboard died earlier in the year and LGA 775 was being well and truly phased out by motherboard manufacturers at this point, so he had no choice but to purchase a cheap board -- I think he managed around +100MHz (I had it running at 3.2GHz -- served me well).If you want hexacore and above just go with enthusiast processors. The hexacore is a lot more pricey though. Ivy-Enthusiast hexacore will launch soon and Sandy is already out. But really the next gen CPUs can't even touch a 2500K. Intel won't step their game up until AMD step their piece of shit CPU up which I don't think they know how.
edit: lol. Just saw you wrote that. I am tired. second part is still relevant
I dunno. Usually the extra games are added at the start of the second week of the sale, but nothing has happened so far. I've been reloading the Humble Bundle page all day to see if new games have been added. >_<

Haha, yeah, it's been downhill for AMD ever since Core2Duo in 2006. From a business standpoint there's no blaming Intel for its pricing tiers, but I wish it'd throw those of us who don't want to spend $500+ on a CPU a bone.
Edit: I'd begrudgingly accept hex-cores moving down to the mainstream bracket with octo-cores occupying the enthusiast offerings.

listen to the mad man
There was a brief period where the Phenom II line had a better bang-for-buck ratio than comparable mid-end Core 2 processors.
I know because I have a Phenom II processor:
(I've since added 4GB of RAM)
I traded my OG 3ds in as I was upgrading to the XL.
My 4770K arrives tomorrow, but all I really want to get out of it is 4.2GHz as I realize Haswell is not the best OCer. The board I got (ASUS Formula VI) is supposed to be good for OCing, so maybe I'll get lucky and get 4.4GHz out of it.
My primary concern though will still be noise. Not interested in a little more speed if I have to hear my PC!

Nice, entered for the horror game.
How's the Sims 3 by the way? I sort of enjoyed the original Sims years back with all its expansions and stuff when I first got into pc gaming. Don't know if I would feel the same way now lol
A 4.2ghz 4770k is still plenty fast and Haswells run much better than previous CPUs if you're into emulation but they do get hot. What will you use for cooling?

Are you still on that? Think you have earned an upgrade!
I was on a E8400 up until earlier this year, can still run games at low settings. Also have the Antec 300 with the old PC. Thing has horrible cable hiding places
Is the sims question directed to me or the whole thread? I am asking cause I have never played a sims game
Brother!
I do most of my gaming on a Phenom II X4 925 (and no, I don't have to set everything to lowest
Please don't try to do this with the stock cooler.
(Any good air cooler that you get will also likely be silent)
Thanks! Entered for Botanicula.

A spark of hope that was quickly extinguished.
At least AMD remains competitive in the lower end -- I'd rather not imagine a world where Intel has no competition whatsoever in the desktop market.When I had to rush through the Justine DLC back during the Portal 2 early release ARG, I made sure to mute the game. I've played nothing else of Amensia... but I did pre-order AMFP.

Lol sorry, it was a question for the thread.Is the sims question directed to me or the whole thread? I am asking cause I have never played a sims game
I might just go purchase the humblebundle though since its only $4-ish and give away the other stuff I already own via modbot.
Thanks for the tip, but I have an H90 push/pull coming as well
. Sorry for the OT, but I am pretty damn excited about it.I managed to get a copy of Payday 2 for $18!
Lucky! I'm worried by the time I get to play the game, there'll be no one left playing lol.

Stupid question, but how do you listen to the radio in Saints Row IV?
