The Horror Is Alive Posted October 27, 2009 Author Share Posted October 27, 2009 Or you can find someone with an Nvidia card and activate the special offer onto your Steam account.

ptiko Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 This will be an incredably useful thread. I post most of the offers that are pretty interesting in the PC gamers thread. It would be good to have a thread on all steam updates and offers Link to comment https://gtaforums.com/topic/430030-steam-specials/#findComment-1059588054 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fnorg Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Will you be updating it with Steam discounts on "major" games and free weekends and such? I'm giant whore for free weekends.

Edmachine Posted October 27, 2009 Share Posted October 27, 2009 Ooh, nice thread! I already downloaded the nVidia special, Peggle Extreme and Mightier. One question, though: how can I find other games that are for free? Sorting by price doesn't work. Speaking of free weekends, I read somewhere, that you can get the game for free in the weekend, but then you have to pay for it or something. I hope I am wrong, though.

I hope I am wrong, though. That's pretty much it. They promote a game sometimes by giving you the full game for two to three days, then cutting you off. If you want to play more, you have to pay.

dvs_angel Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 (edited) Weekend deal: CoD4 is 40% off... I think this is the first time I've ever seen it on sale. And the TF2 sale was only for 2 hours, not sure why.

dvs_angel Posted October 30, 2009 Share Posted October 30, 2009 Apparently hat drops went mad during that time as well.

Bartleby Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 (edited) How difficult is it usually to pick up hats? I've been playing since December (not sure hats have been around for that long), and all I have are the Cheater's Lament and the Ghostly Gibus (which I found last night playing the Event map). I wonder if it'd be better to just Spectate for awhile, but that seems like cheating to me. EDIT: Whoops, was reading near the top of this page and thought I was in the TF2 topic.

FullMetal Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Left 4 Dead 2 demo steam://install/590 Preload it now and be ready to play it on November 3rd What? I thought the demo was only available to the people who had pre-ordered. Nice, 'preloading' now! L4D2 looks more fun though the characters look boring. Still planning on getting it but the demo is going to be a decisive factor for sure :].
