DC Gamer Club / Re: THQ deal week at Steam

Unfortunately, at least one of these is wrong as it's the excellent, but definitely often-discounted Titan Quest that's the game of the day.

yeah, THQ got wind of this thread and ninja'd the list..

a little bird told me that these are the daily deals (in no certain order) though Steam/THQ might throw in a twist. the list looks alright, though that MX vs ATV game might be replaced with CoH

• Metro 2033 - today
• Darksiders
• Homefront
• MX vs ATV Reflex
• Red Faction: Guerrilla
• Red Faction: Armageddon
• Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War II Chaos Rising

Find And Run Robot / Re: Latest FARR Release v2.107.04 beta - Sep 23, 2012

Wow that is odd.. I wonder if this has to do with what f0dder warned me about -- putting the version # in the icon hint.. I can't think of anything else i did to cause a change in this.

i think it was Jibz who highlighted it..

Another new game added - SpaceChem.
...
Annoying that I already have the two latest additions.

-Carol Haynes (October 05, 2011, 06:43 PM)

it's a good thing that SpaceChem comes with a separate Steam key. you can give it away if you already have the game.

DcUpdater / Re: DcuHelper.exe - Update checking for your apps -incredibly intrusive

« Last post by lanux128 on October 03, 2011, 09:49 AM »

Don't know if this is the right thread - but....

I'm working on an XP machine that has FARR 2.99.02 installed and as far as i know that is the only DC program on the machine - certainly the only one that should be running.  it does what i need and i have no desire to upgrade it.

Today FARR has stopped working and instead confronted me with a pop-up as shown in the image.
  Note the lack of close button, minimise button, program identification or anything else. I didn't ask for it and I don't want it, the only way to get rid of it is to abort through the task-manager, and it's directing me to a website that i don't want to visit. Pretty much fits the definition of Malware.

What is going on here? I thought this site was populated by the good guys

-Flippertie (October 03, 2011, 09:27 AM)

@Flippertie: mouser just released a new Farr update and the pop-up seems to be a bug, an unfortunate side-effect. anyway, i'm sure mouser will fix this in no time.

i wonder if Mozilla will realize that these rapid versioning are a bad idea and will revert to normal version builds, much like Bobby Ewing was brought back to Dallas after missing a whole season..

Living Room / free-2-play or pay-2-win? the micro-transaction business

« Last post by lanux128 on September 20, 2011, 02:57 AM »

bit-gamer.net recently did a research about micro-transactions that are becoming prevalent in today's games. quite an interesting article since more companies are opting for this model. the article also mentions DLC (downloadable contents) but didn't explore it that much.

DC Gamer Club / Re: Portal is FREE! (Until May 24th)

« Last post by lanux128 on September 18, 2011, 10:17 PM »

Steam does not even let me create an account, so downloading (till now) is out of the question.

-Shades (September 17, 2011, 03:26 PM)

are you trying from your browser or the steam client?

• https://store.steampowered.com/join/

just to clarify, you only have to create an account and add the game to your library. you can download later, even after the offer is over.
