  • PSA: Steam Sale Rules

    Just because a game is on sale…doesn’t mean that it will be reduced again…because it can

    You only buy games when 1 of 4 things occur:
    1. The game is in the daily deal (rotates every 48hrs)
    2. The game is in a flash sale (rotates every 8hrs)
    3. The game is in the community sale (Chosen by the community, rotates every 8hrs) or
    4. It’s the final day. (July 22nd)

    If a game came out recently (say…2 weeks) and it’s on sale for say 33%, then you should buy it because it will more than likely not go on further reduction throughout the sale.

    Beware of packs of games (Half Life packs, publisher packs) because the games might be cheaper individually than the whole package itself.

  • FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Beta Phase 3 – Weekend 3 Pics [Gallery]

    Disclaimer: As part of the NDA Agreement with Square-Enix, I am only allowed to share screenshots of the game and nothing more. I am allowed to talk about the game but I am not allowed to share audio or video footage of the game. 

    I logged into the game this morning to get a few screenshots for a few friends who are into Final Fantasy games but not the MMO’s and while I was taking the screenshots, someone else wanted to do a big group photo outside the Aetheryne (sp?) (It’s a massive blue crystal that is used for teleporting around the world.)

    Also, please excuse the naked picture. The guy that was organising the group photo wanted everyone naked for some reason.

  • Nexuiz

    So, there is this little shooter on Steam that people may or may not know about. It’s called Nexuiz.

    It was a mod that was created on the Quake Engine and was released by AlienWare in 2005. The game gained popularity because of the community and because it was based on a awesome engine and everything was fine and dandy.

    (Now I could go into detail on HOW we got to the new Nexuiz, but that is for another time I think)
