Bought:
Fallout 3 GOTY Edition
Fallout New Vegas with all the DLCs
Red Faction Armageddon
Red Faction Guerrilla
Deus Ex Missing Link
Batman Arkham City

Thats all. Not too bad. How is LA Noire for those who have played it?

LA Noire is more like an adventure than Rockstar's usual offering.

Facial animation is by far one of the best.

I've read about many ppl who done that for Russian key they bought from CD key sites, it do works and you should be fine.

Only problem is you should ensure your key is a legit retail key and not stolen or generated from key gen. In any case, should the key become illegal, Steam will just remove it from your account.

It was cheaper on GFWL last year or something.

Steam Sales More Than Double For the Seventh Straight Year, Valve Looks at the Big Picture

QUOTE
Disproving the power of packaged goods once again, Valve's Steam digital download platform saw another year of massive growth in 2011, with sales more than doubling and the number of simultaneous users surpassing the five million mark. What gets five million people on Steam all at once?

You can blame those damn Steam holiday sales for a large portion of those numbers, the annual deal days bringing in buyers in the millions to partake in the sort of savings retail outlets just can't match.

Over the past year the service has grown to offer more than 1,800 games to its 40 million registered users, doubling its server structure to handle the more than 780 petabytes of data served in 2011. A Petabyte equals 1,000 Terabytes of information. I had to look that up.

As their dominance of the computer room continues to grow, Valve looks forward to annexing your living room in 2012.

"Steam and Steamworks continues to evolve to keep up with customer and developer demands for new services and content," said Gabe Newell, co-founder and president of Valve via an official announcement. "Support for in-game item trading prompted the exchange of over 19 million items. Support for Free to Play (FTP) games, launched in June, has spurred the launch of 18 FTP titles on Steam, with more coming in 2012. Looking forward, we are preparing for the launch of the Big Picture UI mode, which will allow gamers to experience Steam on large displays and in more rooms of the house."

As the PC sections of video game retailers continue to shrink, Steam is only getting stronger. It's gotten to the point where, outside of extravagant boxed collector's editions, I can't think of a single good reason to leave my house to buy a PC game anymore. Soon they will devour the market.

Then begins their sinister phase two.

should be no problem..

better to install to a single hdd.. and junction to raid array for those games that have shitty loading time..

since not all games need raid0.. or you can get yourself a SSD smile.gif
is it me or the daily deal discount amount seem "lesser" compared to daily deals of last yer ?

My dedicated 2TB HDD is running out of space for my games.

Gonna try to do RAID with another 2TB HDD.

why don't just use junctions ? how u gonna "add" on top of your 2tb ?

the easiest is use windows dsk mgmt and JBOD it/extend volume or so its called in windows disk mgmt..

no need to loose data/reformat.. u still need to do the initial format to put the FS into NTFS and change to dynamic disk

before you extend volume

Simple, I keep 1:1 backup.

So I just have to format, RAID 2x 2TB then transfer the games back.

keep 1:1 back up is raid 1 aka mirror... but you will loose 1/2 the storage space la..

but since you mentioned you lack of storage space i failed to see the purpose of raid 1 aka mirror

fyi raid 0 = stripping = no redundancy 1/2 data is stored on 1 disk the other 1/2 on another disk ..get read/write improvement without redundancy
*
No, I mean I have another HDD dedicated for Steam backup.

Ie. I have one HDD dedicated for Steam and another for Steam Backup.

If I were to do RAID0, I will just format the dedicated Steam and retrieve the backup from another HDD.
