Found Deals and Discounts / Immortal Defense pay what you want sale

« on: December 22, 2009, 07:21 PM »

Immortal Defense (a tower defense game) is having a special sale until january 1 where you can pay whatever you want, now don't be a very bad person and pay less than $0.31 dollars otherwise the developers gets nothing because of paypal fees. You can see on the page the last sales and wow people suck ass, when world of goo was having a similar i at least paid 80 cents which was all i had on the time. I would love to get Immortal Defense even tough i dunno anything about the game but my contact that i use to buy games for me doesn't use paypal.

If you are productive member of society with lots of disposable income (unlike me ugh) and enjoy PC games you will be happy to hear that Steam has a bunch of crazy deals with their Early Holyday Sale. Standouts include Far Cry 2: Fortune's Edition for $10 bucks, Dragon Age: Origins for $37.49, Batman: Arkham Asylum for $24.99 and the craziest deal i have ever seen: THQ Complete Pack for $49.99. Apparently they will keep adding crazy deals so keep a look out. Also Plants vs. Zombies is 50% off making it a 5 dollar purchase, pretty good deal since i really enjoyed the 1 hour trial.

Found Deals and Discounts / Get Stubbs the Zombie for free! (offer is gone, sorry)

« on: November 24, 2009, 05:56 PM »

Go to gameagent.com's Stubbs the Zombie page and click download now, in the following page enter the coupon code: ASPYRTHANKS and the game will be discounted to zero. No idea how long this lasts but it certainly works, also apparently the store is U.S. but they don't do IP check so you should be allright, just put some phony address.

Found Deals and Discounts / Free $3 MP3 Credit at Amazon.com

« on: November 24, 2009, 12:20 PM »

I found about this at a another forum, if you have an amazon.com account you can claim a code to get 3 dollars of credit for amazon mp3 purchases. All you have to do is follow the instruccions located in this page. Hurry up because the offers ends november 30!
Also here's a link showing all the albums selling for 4.99$ or less.

PS: Also The Orange Mountain Music Philip Glass Sampler Vol.I is free and pretty good for the little i have heard.

Note: If you don't live in the U.S. you can't use Amazon's MP3 store however there is a workaround, it involves using services that can let you access US-Only Web content, i won`t get into specifics here (send me a private message if you can't figure it out) but let me just say a simple Google search will point you in the right direction.

Living Room / Do you guys have any experience with routers? because i have some questions

« on: January 09, 2009, 03:38 PM »

So recently my sisters got a notebook as a christmas gift and we decided it was better if we had WIFI in our house so that they could connect to the internet using the notebook. Anyway my ISP installed a zyxel router and ever since then i have been having some problems. sometimes i can't surf at all because i get redirected to 192.168.1.1/zCfgTryAgain.html and i see the following message :

"object not found

The requested URL '/zCfgTryAgain.html' was not found on the RomPager Advanced server."

Turning the router on and off seems to fix it tough but it's very annoying. Another thing is that i am worried that someone might leech off my bandwidth even tough it's password protected and i have been thinking how to prevent that, any software i can use to detect thiefs?. Also I know that the 192.168.1.1 address is for router configuration but it's password protected so i can't access it, do i even need to access the router configuration?.

Anyway help would be apreciated since you guys seem pretty knowledable.

Living Room / Question about my video card temperature

« on: December 22, 2008, 08:17 PM »

so i bought an ECS geforce 6200 video card some months ago (thanks google) and everything was going fine except for the last few days when i noticed something strange. I was playing some old game and i noticed some slow down which is odd because it had never happened before and i am pretty picky with that sort of thing. Since i sensed something wrong i checked the GPU temperature with GPU-Z and it was over 69 Cº! it was the highest that i had ever seen. The card doesn't have a fan only a disperser or whatever that thing is called, here in chile is summer so that probably adds a couple of degrees to the overall hotness. I have read conflicting reports on the internet about the maximum temperature this card should get so i am asking at what temp should i be worried? Any thoughts?
