You know you want it, get Way of the Samurai 4! It's the cheapest it's ever been, and you will get a crapton of hours of entertainment out of it.
If you plan to play WotS4 right now, I would get it. If it just goes into your backlog, I would just get the Humble Monthly.
It's kind of baffling since you'd think they'd at least look up the (lack of) time difference before putting those cities under those clocks.
10 is better.

It'll be a bit of a shock making that jump. I did the jump from 8.1 to 10after 10 was out six months. I didn't have a problem, but others did. It's fine, fast, and I like the Start Screen.
Windows 8.1 with StartIsBack+.
Most of the Windows 10 improvements over Windows 7 are actually in Windows 8.1 without the auto-update madness.
win 10 is fine, you probably want to upgrade if it's free cos certain new games won't work on win 7
imo win 7 was better but this works
i actually enjoyed win 8.1 better than 10
Upgrade now while it's still free, there's very little reason not to. In the long run you won't want or need to be on Win 7 any more.
$9 seems a fortune to spend on a single game to me these days, especially since once it hits 75% off it would only be $6. And I'm a terrible judge of whether or not I'll play something right away or not.
I should probably just flip the copy of Rocket League but there's a part of me that wants to play it (mostly for the BttF car which of course would cost me more).
I got the impression you had more of an issue with the budget than with the actual content of the movie. My bad.
The upgrade is going to be mandatory at some point anyways.

I don't regret upgrading, and haven't run into any problems (did a clean install to avoid weirdness), though I did install Classic Shell after seeing the default start menu.

Cheers guys!
I'll make the jump, although from what I've read, you can't do a straight fresh install off the bat - and I only have the Win 7 upgrade disk meant for Vista, so I have to do a registry hack to legitimise it. It should work though, it just means having to install 7 and then upgrade to 10, and then do the fresh install.
Are there any guides on how to turn off all the "privacy fluff" like cortana, keylogger crap and alike?

Discrepancy in game count makes sense but it still is weird though. There's almost a 2000 delta between your and my library, so the difference should be much much higher. There are games which got unlisted and are not available at all here in Germany but close to 2000? I don't think so. I started using the Exploration Queue probably around the 600 games mark.
Hm...I really want to upgrade, that was my plan. But I am running 2x 780 which tends to match a single 980ti in benchmarks so it's not going to be a massive upgrade. But I don't want to wait for the 1080ti...
I was very close to dropping Demons Souls for good this afternoon after my umpteenth fall to my death off a rickety bridge due to the crappy lock-on system. But I did a little reading and it looks like I went 1-1, 2-1, 5-1 (got to the boss before finding the shortcut and then struggled getting back), 4-1 (again didn't find the shorcut). So I will give it another try by doing 3-1.
I did look up the 4-1 shortcut on YouTube. I don't understand why the 1-1 and 2-1 shortcuts are essentially part of getting to the boss but the 4-1 shortcut is like a Super Mario roll-over-the-secret-wall kind of thing.
It's not like 1,2,3 etc are official things anyway. They don't give you any indication of suggested order.

These halo mods for XCOM 2 are pretty detailed. This is the closest thing to a halo turn based strategy game lol

Finally took down
to beat every Dark Souls 3 boss. Maybe now I'll have to try a character who uses spells, I've never used spells in Dark Souls aside from the Spook spell the assassin class starts with.

About the GTX 1080 & 1070 Founders Editions...

Remains to be seen if that's truly the only difference but as of now that's what they are saying

Wait for more than one source.
This is the opposite of what The Verge say, which is that they are speed-binned:

Anyone selling their 970? Hint hint.
I want to grab a couple of Star Wars games, but on the other hand they might show up in a Humble Bundle again.
I definitely won't be playing them anytime soon (Overwatch, Dark Souls III, Stellaris, Factorio), but, as a good SteamGAFer, I want them for some indiscriminate time in the future.
All of the character designs are just extremely polished and oozing charm.

Managed to get that sweet early bird tier since someone dropped out since the last time I checked the kickstarter, thanks for the reminder zky.

So is it? Or is it just a cosplayer?
Edit: And it's funded.
I wouldnt say all, there are some duds like Soldier Random Number and Death from Darksiders with a trenchcoat, but overall yeah its top notch. The whole game is in fact. Im still undecided on what to do, it sure is fun tho
if you have your win7 product key you can just use the media creation tool from microsoft to make a win10 iso, install that and then enter your win7 product key and it will register.

Yea I want to replace my 290 as well. I only paid $230 for it, but I really want to be able to encode 4k and because my 290 is a reference model, it gets loud which makes recording from my mic an extra problem.
Think I might just bite the bullet and go for a 1080 and probably sell it when AMD Vega10 comes out.
I love how absolutely adorable and cute Meis character is and yet is a complete bastard on the battlefield who fucks shit up.
Aaaannddd done. Picked up a lot more pace today than I would've thought. Happy for those folks.

I get the feeling i'm missing out by not giving overwatch a chance.
I'll continue to resist :V

You can just do a fresh Win10 install now with a Win7 or Win8 key. It wasn't possible at launch, but it's possible with the current build that the media creation tool gives you.
As for the privacy stuff, during install you'll have the option to turn that stuff off.
Don't know about cortana though, it has never been available to me.
Oh that's interesting, I wasn't aware of that. Checked their FAQ a few weeks ago and it still implied I needed to go through the whole fresh install of 8.1 > 10 upgrade > fresh install of 10 rigmarole. I'm still on the Windows 10 preview from last summer.
Was going to upgrade to a 5280k and new motherboard so I have the Windows 10 install locked to a new motherboard, which is my understanding of how that functions.
EDIT: Wait hold on a second.
I think I can agree with you there, some of the characters were misses.

Oh nice, I'll try it that way then.
Regarding privacy stuff - I found a really nice tutorial on all the issues and optional stuff - https://youtu.be/u1kGMCfb2xw
It's both fascinating and ridiculous to see the lengths MS has gone for hiding away some of those things, although the tutorial seems to be by a guy that is much more sensitive to the whole privacy thing than I am.

Why can't you narrow Sale games by Lowest Price and Show only positive reviews?
....... Hmm..
I wonder what mine is. I got a upgrade disc from windows vista to 7 via a MS student deal thing, and immediately after install (since Vista isn't installed) I have to do a registry edit so I can successfully activate it.
No idea if it is classed as OEM or retail
so if my windows 8.1 license is retail then i can just change my motherboard and keep win 10?
that'd make me really happy
idk how or why lol
that game looks awesome, kickstarter for me is all about srpgs lol
that'd make me really happy
says there's gonna be some cameos
idk how or why lol
yeah, sweet
that game looks awesome, kickstarter for me is all about srpgs lol
If it's anything like past OEM versions of Windows you can just go through an automated call with Microsoft to activate it on a new PC.
Probably 5pm, an hour before the store updates.

I've done this so many times. Including moving one machine from physical to virtual. Didn't think it would allow it on a VM but they activated it no problem

Found this in my email, about to get my own copy.
Yeah, if you use the code, you can get the Nova Edition for a little cheaper than most places offer the standard edition.

I don't know why people hold Miyazaki in such high esteem when he allowed this covenant bullshit to happen in Dark Souls 3. At least the DS2 team had bypasses for the shittier stuff.
