it is not that much diff vs the old days when u are without computers. In old days are we are use to write stuff on our desk. the diff is this time we write on a giant tablet on our desk. Besides if u still need vertical screen = simple dual monitor the thing.  brows.gif

inb4 write whatever stuff with ur stylus pen then swipe ur hand up and the stuff pop on ur vertical LCD brows.gif

I think with the right OS + the right hardware + right price this will be a revolution.  brows.gif  if only we put a smart people on top. Not that steve balmer idiot.

Need to get rid of Balmer first and Windows needs a slower transition to a new form of OS. Not a massive jump by changing roti canai to a plate of chicken chop all the sudden. People will rage and troll around due to these changes which is why Microsoft is getting so much negativity. On top of all the mismanagement that they have been doing.

Erm, not really for today's deals, as I dont really play much of the games on sale today.

Also, those EA games on the bundle, I find it a bit difficult to recommend due to EA's wonderful policy changes and push for F2P has made my judgement skewed quite a fair bit to the unfavoured side.

Rockstar games, I havent been playing their games much since GTA Vice City.

More like a publicity stunt than showing that they actually cared about anything else than money.

This is the only HB that I gave everything to Humble as I dont think I want to donate to EA nominated charity bodies. There are a few charities listed that are supporting LGBT. Nothings wrong with LGBT as its people's choice but the way EA supporting it in some of their games are quite annoying.

Origin download is slower than Steam?

Unfortunately, the client is even worse than Steam now. Except the online mode that works reliably.

Thats Online Pass that they removed from their games. Only applicable to consoles anyway.

Season Passes are everywhere!

How reliable is it in downloading games? 10GB can download within a day?

I think you might need longer as the download rate is not very consistent.

Thats what i remembered.

Origin redeem is currently down (at least for me) Will try in a few hours. Anyone want either Dead Space or Mirror's Edge on Steam just let me know biggrin.gif

If you bought the bundle, I think just hang on to the keys and redeem them after the bundle ends as the service will not be very stable for you to download anyway.

origin game file server bandwidth exploded from the influx of downloads lol

Its a usual thing for EA servers. They tend to go down very frequently.

Then, you see EA executive regretting for giving all the money to charity and Humble guys. Just imagine even 10% of the money, its enough for them to get a few porsche.

*
unfortunately, you can never change your email address due to EA's security measures to prevent account theft. Not even by asking support.

See, EA got motive one but sooner or later you'll see Humble 2K Bundle, Humble Activision Bundle, Humble Bethesda Bundle and so on. Everyone want to evade tax.

Probably its just like us when we keep books and electronics receipt to claim some tax returns.

i have a thought. it's "unethical" to sell a game at jacked up price, especially when gotten from a charity sale where you pay what you want. *ahem*humblebundle*ahem*
but let's say that i pay $50 for the games, the sell it at a slightly higher price, let's say $55. what do you think?

PS : yes i know it's stupid to buy something that high but with so little profit lol. but just an example of a similar scenario
*
Its exactly the same as going to a charity buffet and tapau as much as possible then go to another corner and sell the food at higher price. I dont think thats ethical.

I was thinking of selling my extra keys for money but at the end, i think it is better to just give it away. This bundle is mostly made for charity so why are you trying to sell stuff taken from a charity?

Not at all. Save monies.

Because of region locked MP. If you picked the wrong region, then, dont expect any players. The developers seemed reluctant to fix it.

No offence man, please dont expect every game to have a massive MP. MKKE is said to be a mostly SP game due to poor netcode and MP systems. Its NRS's first PC game anyway. Hopefully Injustice will be better.
