So, earlier today I finally decided to take a stand.

I've had a cd stuck in my car's cd player for 2 years.

I pulled it out and took it apart and forcibly removed the cd.

Then I, knowing that I probably wouldn't be able to eject the next cd that goes into it, made the most comprehensive 700 megs of all time to go in its place, thinking it would be the last thing there ever.

I put it back in my car, and it won't even accept a disc.

The mechanism that has fucked ejecting has done the same to accepting, so I need to open it again and carefully insert my perfect mix.

Should be fun.

This isn't a super noteworthy story.

I just think anything that can derail the summer sale is worth posting.

I thought this was leading to you finding a super rare PC game because you were drunk and put it in your car or something.

Pretty sure it's the hard drive. Initially when I restarted it went into "Automatic Repair" mode and would stay on a blank screen forever.

Then I tried a recovery disk and that one freezes to in the middle of the process.

Then I tried popping the HD into an enclosure to at least save my files before a full delete... and that's when I heard the clicking.

Last thing I am going to try is a USB boot drive for Windows 8 (Windows 8 sucks by the way) but pretty sure the drive just failed. Still under warranty, but very annoying.

WARNING:

If you use a "new" payment method to fund your Steam wallet you will be locked out of the Community Market for a full week. Wow, what total utter BS.

I used paypal to add some Steam Wallet back to my account since I used up most of mine hosting Defiance, and since I had not used paypal as a payment method before, I'm now locked out of the market until next Thursday. Great job Valve. A warning would have been nice then I would have just used my debit or walked across the street to 7/11. And since Valve has such awesome customer service there's nothing I can do about it.

Sometimes (for me at least), when the sequel is a prequel, I like to play it first, then if I fall in love with the series, going backwards (even if the older games are crappier) is still fun. I think that's what I did with Assassin's Creed 2, Brotherhood, then went back to 1.

I've been there, my obsession with never having backups and generally hard linking to infinity has gotten me in trouble a few unlearnfromable times. My recent fun came from my main desktop's system drive, it was right after a problem I had with my graphics card (computer would not display upon boot unless off for over an hour, ended up pinpoiting the graphics card overheating as the problem, now I have to manually control my fan). Anyways, my issue was that practically any kind of disk activity would just freeze up my computer (even sometimes booting). Luckily I forsaw the collapse (ie, when I would only be able to boot 5% of the time), and copied it to a new drive. Immediately after, the dreaded click of death.

I HIGHLY suggest trying to back up with clonezilla ASAP, assuming it'll even read at all...

HEY, Windows 8 is really amazing (ignoring new metro crap), it is generally a huge improvement over 7 (and thats saying something, since 7 is pretty nifty). I used to hate 8 too, but once I got to using it more (after installing on laptop via technically legit exploit), I began to love it! (still not digging metro of course, but whatever)

Blade said:
I just use an AIO called Tune Up Utilities, which was recently bought by AVG. It's a general fix-it type of program that runs drive and registry defrags, checks your drives for errors, recovers files, and cleans your computer every so often. It has what's called a "Turbo Mode" which turns off just about everything except essential programs, but you can customize it and choose which additional programs to leave on. I've tried other programs with names like eBooster, TurboBooster, something that IGN recommended a few years back, and I had BSOD'ing issues. I've used this one for 4 years on the same computer without having any problems or needing to replace anything. I use it on my old 2007 laptop with a 2ghz Core 2 Duo and 4GB DDR2 RAM, and I'm on the desktop in 23 seconds.
Click to expand...
Best fix it everything tool is Hiren's BootCD (HEY MODS, its legit! Just not the "restored" versions). It has a learning curve, but pretty much anything for any situation that you'd need is in there, and much runnable from within Windows.
 
Considering Scribblenauts, but I could see it ending up in a humble weekly.

 
Wait so you can get steam trade cards by idling in games? Sorry been out of the loop for awhile. Havent been playng pc in like a month or so.

So if i leave my scribblenauts unlimited game on overnight, il get some cards in the morning?

I tried to compile the best cd ever for a friend of mine (lucky him and his ability to play mp3 discs!)...couldn't get it down past 2 cds! But damn was it an epic set of music.

On the topic of stuck shit, I had a fun time a while back. I use a tape converter for my car (+ subs, which makes things fun at times with all the cords I have everywhere), and the eject broke on my deck...wasn't a problem until the rubber band on the tape advancing pulleys deteriorated and it refused to accept that there could possibly be a tape in the drive!

I have like 14 hard drives lying around, x1 256 GB SSD (love this thing), got a replacement 256GB SSD for when this one dies, got a 128GB SSD lying around i gotta throw in my laptop but im lazy, x3 Internal x1TB 7200rpm hard drives (all full), x3 3TB USB 3.0 external drives for my PC, x3 1 TB externals (for my consoles), and 1 random 2TB drive I got for $50 after rebate.

Of all the hard drives I have ever owned, 2 were sent defective. A 1TB WD green drive (hate these drives) crapped out on me after about a month, I think it was defective to begin with. And on my first intel duel core build, the 128gb WD drive that was in pc eventually started clicking and eventually died.

I usually end up selling my older machines after 2-3 years, is hard drive failure a common thing? I've had more RAM sticks and power supplies die on me then I have hard drives straight up die.

I've got 9 drives (3x 2TB, 4x 1.5TB, 1x 1TB, and 1x 500GB), in a briefcase for super awesome easy transporting, 3 in my desktop (2x 2TB and 1x 160GB drives) and 2 external at my desktop (1x 2TB, 1x 400GB), laptop has a 320GB, MediaPC has 1x 160GB internal, 1x 500GB external, and 1x 160GB external. Then I have my old portable hdd setup (which I don't use anymore due to being all old IDE) which equate to a few TBs. And all thats not counting g/f's laptop/desktop, or all my many...MANY old hard drivers from yesteryear laying around...

EDIT: Oh, forgot your whole point, lol. Of those, I've had 2 die from the click, a few that I never trusted enough to let die, and several that were STUPIDLY either accidentally formatted or had their partition tables messed with by my own hand...

use steam achievement maanger, pick scribblenauts and itll idle for you without even launching the game therefore there won't be any load on your PC or hardware or whatever.

Bumper buttons for jump and attack?! Are you mad??!!

AC main games had were never prequels (technically)...so why the comparison?

Comes from playing platformer shooters and the Armored Core series. Allows you can use both sticks without needing to take your right thumb off the right stick to jump. Not really needed for TBP, but I still find the crisp "click" of the LB/RB buttons to be a very responsive way to play. Don't knock it before you try it!

I guess I just meant I played the later games first, then rolled back to the first one and still enjoyed it (even though many hate it). Didn't really apply to my "prequel" point, I guess.

As pepsi said, as long as you don't use it to tamper with your achievements, all it does is tell Steam you have the game open. It's super easy to use, and it's the easiest way to idle for cards, so do it already :twisted:

Hmm, ya, for games games that require the right stick for shooting and such, I guess that would be pretty beneficial. I've just gotten used to needing to master lightning thumbs.

Ya, was gonna say. For a minute, I was like, wtf AC games have you been playing? But either way, ya, AC1 is great, but I really can't imagine enjoying it AFTER the sequels (not that its bad, from from it, just the change to more limited mechanics).
 
Nyahaha! Il look into the program again. Wont really be aiming for achievements anyway just want some trade cards plus the only game i play now that has vac is team fortress 2.
 
Half-Minute Hero is finally $2.75. Bought it full price when it was new on PSP and enjoyed it. Going to pick it up again.

 
Just voted in my third Community Choice and got the Bioshock Infinite Summer Getaway trading card almost instantly.

If Scribblenauts is gonna be in a humble weekly, than so is Batman: Arkham City.

It's worth MORE than 5$. I paid more. (2$ more)

I suppose it's not as likely being a Warner Bros.-published game, but I thought it might happen since there were Telltale and THQ bundles. Oh well, I think you've convinced me to drop $4.24 on it at Amazon

Has anyone played Wanderlust: Rebirth in single player mode? Any fun. Current sale price is $2.49 (75% off)

I'm 20 pages behind but my short answer is no.

It's barely any fun in co-op, and single player is just... a bit dull.

I might have a spare copy lying around, send me a PM.
 
Question about cards: I found my old account and enabled guard, will I be able to trade cards (after 15 days) to main account if I use it to farm card from votes or does it require purchase made in last year?

 
Why does the countdown for the daily deals say just under 7.5 hrs left, but on the game store pages it says 31.5hrs left?

i believe the account just needs to be Steam level 5 so it can get the cards from voting

Beginning a sale or two ago, Steam started letting the daily deals overlap. A new set of dailies will appear on the front page and the old set will remain available for one more day. .

 
Night? 

I say Good morning, its a nice time to start the day. If i had the chance i would sneak up behind a rooster and attach a small guitar and elvis wig to it and wait til sunrise. 

But alas, this isn't possible.

I like how everything is now card games, ridiculous. There aren't even any motorcycles involved. Yet i see valve has dangled another carrot in-front of people. I joke how that map that is behind everything leads to prototype copies of half life 3.

Its interesting about the card stuff though, its like achievements for achievements who want to pay for achievements. I got my totem ready, you want to know what it is? A prinny.

A nice set of sales though, i hear good things about don't starve. From what i get it's a survival game, it's an interesting genre. At least it's one that treats the players like critical thinking beings. I know i would like to try that survival game that the people from garry's mod are working on.

That's pretty much all i have got at the moment, what do you want from me.

 
got my first Summer Sale card for spending $10+ and it's Torchlight.

sadly i can't use the market until Sunday though to get rid of my dupes from other games :/

 
Boo, BB refunded my Metro LL PayPal purchase and cancelled my order :(  Time to hit the up trade thread for some 50,000% markup offers.  And even worse, I have to leave for work now, so when I get back I'll be 100 pages behind in this thread...

Cards = free money for games. Since the sales aren't a whole lot to ooh and ahh about, making money back off cards, buying games for money you made off cards, etc, has become the new thing.

There are also cases where cards sometimes pay for the game completely. Me and two others bought a certain new game and actually made $1+ off selling the cards, over the price of buying the game.

I'm sure the card talk is annoying to those who don't know much about the system and don't wanna bother, but the usefulness is undeniable.

They cancelled one of mine, while the others hang in limbo...

Also, has nothing to do with what you said, but I just sold my Mars Logs foil for $10.43. Stoked about that.

I don't know if it has been discussed, but your avatar.

Why it may cause discomfort for some, i see potential.

Or a really interesting night and story afterwards.

I think a good deal of it would depend on whether or not SR's humor "clicks" with you. It's very similar to GTA (which you indicate you like "some"), so it's possible.

SR3 does have a story as well as specific, narrative missions. Everything is completely over the top.

If that sounds good to you, then you'll probably like it. I loved it, personally.

Concerning the DLC: the Season Pass is all you really need. The rest is pretty much cosmetic. But I do see the Full Package bundle is only a few bucks more and is cheaper than buying the game and Season Pass a la carte and it leaves out the undesirable DLC like the Unlockable and Bloodsucker packs.

Playing all the SR games, i find they pulled a san andreas -> GTA IV. There was a bit more content in SR2 then 3. The game is ridiculous, the story is not to be taken seriously and the only multiplayer is co op.

Potential Spoilers

You kill people with a shark gun, you can faceplant someone and lay down and appreciate the moment with them. Dispite what people say about kayne west you jump out of a plane onto a giant condo party to deliver large kickass with pepperoni and sausage while the song "power" plays in your head. A FREAKING SHARK GUN, IT SHOOTS CHUM AT PEOPLE, THEN STREET SHARKS,

its on you.

My quick synopsis:

Saints Row: The Third = National Lampoons Grand Theft Auto

 
So earlier this week, I was like there's no way their going to discount Brave new world that much right, might as well buy it full price on tuesday. lesson learned Gabe, lesson learned.

I played it on 360 as a rental, when it first came out. Thought it was a pretty fun game and just overall decent but for 1.24$ you could do far worse.
