Found Deals and Discounts / Vegas Pro Edit 15 $25 on Humble
« on: December 14, 2017, 01:36 PM »
Humble has a new bundle that includes the Vegas Pro Edit 14 video editor in the $20 tier:

  - https://www.humblebundle.com/software/vegas-pro-creative-freedom

The bundle runs until Christmas day if I did my calendar math right.

I haven't used Vegas Pro because it's expensive and I don't do a lot with video editing, but it seems to have a good reputation.  It used to be owned by Sony but at some point last year it was acquired by Majix.  The SKU that's in the bundle is "Pro Edit" which is the less expensive of the three SKUs.  The other Vega SKUs are "Pro" and "Pro Suite" which appear to add things that are of little interest to me.

Vegas Pro is up to version 15 right now; I'm not sure what changes/features have been added between 14 & 15.  Vegas Pro Edit 15 is on sale for $150 right now on the official site; the normal price is $500 according to that page. (I don't know if this one of those "Oriental Rug" situations where something is perpetually on sale, or if it's an actual deal).

There's also a bunch of other stuff in the various tiers, but I'm only potentially interested in Vegas.

Anyway - if anyone has actual experience with this tool, I'd appreciate comments about whether this $20 deal might be worthwhile for someone like me who has only modest video editing needs. Right now I mostly just clip video snippets now and again.

Found Deals and Discounts / 1 Year of SpiderOak One (1TB of storage) for $15
« on: October 16, 2017, 08:52 AM »
I have never used SpiderOak, but have seen it discussed here so I think there might be interest in this.

Humble is running a "Software Bundle 2" that has a 1 year license for SpiderOak One cloud backup with 1TB of storage in the $15 tier. The 1TB plan usually costs $12 per month.  So if you were looking at SpiderOak for backup, this might be a cheap way to get started. 

I don't know if this can be used to add a year to an existing plan.  The blurb says this about existing accounts: "License will overwrite any existing licenses during redemption and remaining credit will not be refunded".  So for people with existing accounts, I don't know if you can hang onto this license and activate it just before your existing one expires or if you have to activate it within some short period. But if you're on a month-to-month plan, this seems like a no brainer.

Note that if you purchase the $15 tier, you get a bunch of other software too, but none of it looked particularly interesting to me. Except maybe the Winx Media Trans which is part of the $1 tier.

The bundle is live for another 9 days from now:

There's also a "Pinata" sale going on.  I think you get random offers when you 'hit the pinata'.  Or something.  I haven't bothered to figure it out yet.

DC Gamer Club / Sang-Froid is now available free (permanently) on GOG

Sang-Froid is now available free (permanently) on GOG.  Apparently it has been free on Steam for a few months now. 

I don't know anything about the game other than it's set in old-timey, frontier Canada and has werewolves, but I rarely argue with no-strings-attached free. The screen shots are nice.
