Too bad you didn't ask the other day, I actually just ordered one from Staples that had a secret sale for $30. I have no idea why I didn't post it here.

http://www.staples.com/Staples-Turcotte-Luxura-High-Back-Managers-Chair-Brown/product_934102

Keep your eyes on slickdeals, companies try to clear out stock constantly it would seem.

I wish I had seen this. My chair is about 4 years old and is more or less falling apart.

So I hear Strider's a little easy. Should I play on Normal or Hard?

Play everything on Hard.

 

[Deques]

The current IndieGala bundle ends in lesser than 16 hours, and there is still one more game to be revealed. And Happy Hour hasn't happened either.

I am worried that HH is not gonna happen

 

[Casimir]

about $40-60

For that amount, your best bet would be a heavily discounted chair similar to what Grief.exe posted. That amount is really quite low for an office/computer chair outside of the discounts on already inexpensive chairs.

If you're in the US, setting up an alert for office chairs on sites like Slickdeals.com should give you a heads up whenever a good deal comes up.

 

[Deques]

And more Squenix store discounts.

• Dungeon Siege for 1.75€
• Dungeon Siege 2 for 1.75€
• Dungeon Siege 3 for 3.75€
• Dungeon Siege 3 DLC for 1.75€
• Deus Ex for 1.75€ (Not explicitly listed as being a Steam key?)

Edit: ... Okay, Squenix, you win, I'll just let people explore your store themselves.
Basically, pretty much everything is pretty heavily discounted on the EU Squenix store at the moment.

Bah, FFVIII is not discounted

Hey, steam-gaf.
I am very selective to where I buy my steam keys, because I want them cheap, but also want the devs to get the money they deserve - most of the time I buy at amazon or gmg.
A friend now recommended *deleted*, as it seems to be very low priced.. Do you know if that is a legit site? Or is it an illegal key seller like so many other sites?

At that price, you can't go too wrong giving one a try as long as you're not expecting too much from chairs that Staples (or anyone for that matter since $40-60 isn't much at all) has.

I will say that the one I have, the seat has flattened quite a bit and the bonded leather started to either noticeably tear or crack off about 12-18 months in (which of course continued to get worse as it aged).

I don't know the Quake 2 sign to dollars conversion rate, but Dungeon Siege is usually cheaper on Steam during the sales if you get the bundle (1/2/3+DLC) instead of individually.

I shall name Knurek the official announcer of added steam keys. Congratulations.

Of course if you fail this important task, you shall be shot into the sun on a tiny rocket

That's amazing, seems nice from the pic, sad I missed it

I didn't even think to post that information here, I really should have.

It also shows we will get the Steamkeys on IR:

"You need to get keys from Indie Royale where this game was purchased."

This has been happening with IR keys for quite a while. They do get added to actual IR pages after a few days, but it's just much faster to do so from the client.

My review of Sonic Generations: To anyone considering Sonic Generations: It's a Sonic game.

There's a cool mod for it too, takes the best part of Sonic Unleashed (the speedy Sonic levels) and inserts them into Sonic Generations.

So my laptop was reinstalled, but when I tried to download steam, i coudnt

I tried this webpage: http://media.steampowered.com/client/installer/SteamSetup.exe
But it just gives a bad page error in Firefox and Chrome.

Anyone else with the same problem/ a way to download steam via a different way?


NVM: used ninite.

still pretty weird I cant use steams own site to download the steam client

EDIT 2: Scratch that, the ninite installer didnt work either.


Anyone with a solution?

Weirdly enough, I went to sleep yesterday and only today can see that I won Vessel. Thanks Lain!

I imagine that someone at Ubi was waiting to be asked if 1404 would be back soon so they could answer "That's Anno."

Thank you Lain for Hydrophobia.

DailyRoyale have Cognition season pass on sale, if you know what I mean.
I can't believe they went this way. If you want to turn off people from episodic games, you do exactly how cognition was handled.

Says it's already been sent to incognito_au , which is a name I realise the golden irony of me pointing it out and thus drawing attention to. So no go on that key. Thanks anyroad.

Well that's disappointing. Well, Last Light has to reach 66% off again eventually somewhere, right?

Yes, this is the only unfortunate issue with inexpensive office chairs. Krappadizzle appears to be experiencing this right now, sadly.

There might be possibility that Anno might be back as a daily deal

Try the website in your browser.
It'll probably look exactly the same.

Well, they'd need to patch the game to work, so I doubt we will ever see it again.

You are right! I just assumed it had to do with my skin.

D'oh, sorry, I thought I redeemed the Bundle Stars key. I'll PM you in a sec.

No, something is horribly wrong with (the routing to) their web server, and it's looked broken as fuck for the last 6 hours. This is another reason why they really should fix their fucking client not to use the website. It looks unprofessional as hell.

Steam's fine at my end.

Ya, it's matter of time only.

Steam's fine at my end.

Jasec, you keep some kind of list, any games in new groupees greenlight bundle that already were in bundles?

 

[Turfster]

Steam's fine at my end.

I think it's the routing from Europe that's fucked.
It goes slower and slower until it ping timeouts somewhere around Chicago.

 

[Dice]

Tricky situation.

I got this new hard drive, and it became drive E so my external became F. Now, I had used steammover to put 100 games on the external before this, before steam allowed easy creation of new libraries on other drives. So now the routing folders are all referring to things that don't exist, so steam can't find them.

Is there a fast way to fix their association to the external drive? If not, will Steam recognize the games if I move their files (it would take a while but I can do it as I sleep) to the steam library I started on the new hard drive? There isn't enough room on drive C to move them all into where the routing folders are.

Edit: I tried uninstalling Sniper 2 to get rid of the routing folder, then moved the game folder on the external to the library folder on the new hard drive, then told steam to install sniper 2 to the new library where it was sitting. The installation popup said it was discovering already-existing game files and the download screen said it was validating, then it looked like it was downloading the whole game again, but after 400MB (the special edition update I got) it said it was complete. Maybe this will work...but it's sooo sloowwwww...

Any reason not to get the Clash of Heroes DLC?

If you have someone to play with, no reason not to buy it. It's for online, dlc I mean.
