This thread will attempt to provide a place to discuss past/present/future PC gaming deals. While mainly focusing on Steam games, any standout sales may also be presented. I will not be updating every Daily/Weekly/etc. sale. The tools to help individuals become a smarter shopper will be provided below.

See this POST for links to store sale pages, threads of interest and other tools to help you become a more informed PC game shopper.

I think the only way I stay away from it is that the only people I keep as friends are people I know in real life and the only people they keep are each other and me. It also helps to be as anti-social as possible and I don't play online or post my Steam account anywhere.

I come off as a dick because of this maybe but at least I don't have a virus.

I don't disagree with you, but I won't argue the topic either. I'm not here to change the way people perceive things because that generally takes generations for that type of change. It's just the trend that I see. Like I said, I'm trying to look out for all parties here.

Show of support for Neuro trying to keep this thread a little more in line. In case anybody is unaware, the Steam deals thread hasn't exactly been looked upon favorably lately...and the mods are noticing as well.

All I'll say about this boobie butthurt nonsense is that for me personally a single picture of an anime girl with unrealistically large breasts is eyerolly. Once you start adding flopping up and down animation and pic spam with like 6 of that in a row then I'm like okay that's too much now.

I'll also add that multiple pic spams in one post in general is annoying to me as well and I've given Tebow crap for that in the past even when he was posting male wrestlers.

In any case, I agree with Neuro that it's better if we just err on the safe side and try to moderate ourselves because if the mods here do it they won't be careful about what they delete and a lot of unrelated stuff will get nuked too.

It's been talked about on SPUF a bit lately and it's definitely going around, likely related to all the junk bot friend requests from level 0s going out. It's best to just set profile comments to friends only.

I used to do it to be funny and I did it this time for the same reason. Sometimes I go too far. Recently I spoiler them and give a warning of the contents. I didn't this time because I was making a joke about the moderation system in reference to the flood or cat memes. It was never meant to stay up for more than a few minuted though and I was always going to delete it. Even I hate scrolling forever through a giant ass post like that. Every once and a while I troll a bit. Everyone here trolls a bit from time to time. Maybe I took it too far but I also removed it in an act of contrition. Anyway you won't see anymore of that without some kind of spoiler and warning. You may not even see it anymore with a spoiler. I find I don't bother posting much these days anyway. I rarely have anything worth saying and it's even rarer to find someone who would bother listening. I guess this goes for offline as well.

Yeah well anyway I'm kinda done. No one will have to worry about me posting stuff.

Also the argument that was made in the opening post wouldn't be a problem if wiki topics weren't broken.

Well...if we actually had some worthwhile CAG-Worthy PC deals going on, we'd certainly be talking about them.

I think the PC and console markets are much different, as well. We CAG-style PC gamers see 50% off on most games, we just shrug and wait for a better sale; or wait for a killer bundle site to have a nice bundle on it.

We PC gamers are looked upon as more niche of a market and get crazier sales more often; while consolers are looked upon as the masses out there and get less crazy sales.

At 50% off on a console game, that actually might be good deal in that market. So, naturally - they'd have more deal discussion than we PC gamers would probably have.

I'll close the discussion with that I want everyone here to have fun and I don't want anyone here to feel like they aren't welcome to post. Motoki is spot on about self moderation. Being a dumbass is fine (and recommended), we just have to police ourselves to keep from crossing that line.

Now back to your regularly scheduled program.

TBH, I always felt like they don't really 'get' us here and just barely tolerate us if we're ghettoized in our own place.

And while a bit of it we bring on ourselves when we sometimes take things too far, I honestly don't see where we're any worse on the whole than Steam threads at other places like Neogaf or Penny Arcade.

I've also seen general nastiness and other shenanigans in the console threads here some of the times I've peeked into them and FriskyTanuki is not the paragon of virtue they are making him out to be either.

I feel like if we were able to have more deal specific threads without console people complaining about it then maybe those would be more on point about the actual deals. As for why people don't just move to a general discussion or PC forum instead of here? Hell if I know but trying to get people to move to a new spot on the internet when they have an established spot is about as easy as trying to heard a group of drunks to another bar.

I got one that was one of those account stealing spam ones. Deleted it quickly.

 
So to get the extra free game at Bigfish from getting 6 punches do I need to sign up for their gamesclub before I buy the game that would give me my 6th punch or is it ok to sign up for it at the same time as when I buy the game that would give me my 6th punch? Right now I have 3 punches from the free game code but I didn't sign up for the gamesclub when I got it. I want to buy 1 more CE with the 50% off code to get 3 more punches to get another free game. When I go to check out it shows the game and gamesclub trial but the wording on the offer kind of makes it seem like you nee to be a gamesclub member BEFORE you get your 6th punch so I don't know if it would count.

To my knowledge yes you have to be signed up for the club before you get the 6th punch and it's free to sign up for the first month if it's your first time, just make sure you cancel it before your 30 days are up.

*Edit: Yup, you need to be a Game Club member at the time of the 6th punch.

To get your Punch Card coupon code, you must be an active member of Big Fish Game Club at the time of your 6th punch.

You can do it now, but games are less even regular price with the membership and sometimes they have deals so might be worth holding onto for the month if you can make sure you won't forget to cancel.

Oh and Mondays are generally 'Double Punch Mondays' FWIW.

I think, when you sign up for an account and purchase your first game, you get the first month's membership in the Games Club free. Maybe the resident grandma could confirm.

re: Big Fish club

You don't have to necessarily sign up for the club when you get the NEW299 / NEW599 game and/or the FREEGAME86966 free game but if you do sign up for the club it's free for the first 30 days the first time.

You DO need to be in the club at the time of your 6th punch to get a code for a free game from the punch card though. Punches 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 you can be non-club but when 6 hits if you aren't in the club you'll roll back to 0 and not get a free game.

*Edit: Also the 50% off HALFSV / HALFCE sale codes going on this weekend and most of their sales don't require club membership. In fact the sale price will be the same in those cases with or without the membership. (ie they don't let you stack sale code off AND member discount; it's just whichever is lower)

For reference, their 'regular' prices are $9.99 for standard version games and $19.99 for Collector's Editions but for club members they are $5.99 for standard and $13.99 for CE. This is their flat rate pricing for all games.

People (I use the term as a generalization) are more likely to find overally sexualized images of young females more offensive and are more likely to be reported. I am looking out for the thread as I don't want it to be thought of too poorly and I'm looking out for the users as I don't want anyone silenced. I also don't want pages of other peoples posts nuked in the collateral damage.

"Actually, it's about ethics in video game discussion board moderation."

 
You guys already know my feelings on the mods here.  If it wasn't for the fact I like the people here I'd be long gone.  I still make it a point to never click a link from CAG and just type the address myself to avoid giving any referral money to this site.  

Feels like they want to turn this into Slickdeals, but the difference is Slickdeals is a much better site to find deals because the site looks better, has a better layout, and has a frontpage.  That said, SDers are mostly resellers so they have an added incentive to stay on topic to deals - their livelihoods depend on it.  

Of course, despite having an account at SD, I probably haven't logged on in years and never contribute.  So if that's the type of users they want, they can get them, but that's the reason I don't do jack to contribute any deals or keep up any threads around here.  Seems like all the mods do is go overboard when they don't share your sense of humor and them go all woe is me/drama queen when they get criticized for the crappy job they do.  

 
Speaking of links, WTF is up with CAG and some links? I spent a good bit of time linking all those Big Fish games and CAG did some crap that hosed them. I know when the Newegg rep was here his links got screwed up too and it made him look stupid.

Of course the links that CAG gets money from like Amazon seem to work just fine. :roll:

I don't think it's Big Fish or Newegg causing the problem either because links to those sites from Reddit or Slickdeals or where ever else seem to work just fine.

The mods aren't even paid. Referall links give money to CheapyD who is a pretty cool guy IMO.

I've never understood this argument. Unless there was blackmail involved, the mods chose to be mods and they certainly didn't self apply those titles/duties.

So far, I've had no issues with any specific mods or Cheapy, either.

I didn't even realize I was arguing. I never had a problem with the mods either. Just saying boycotting referall links isn't really affecting the unpaid mods.

Perhaps the word reasoning would've been better.

I meant, that I can understand Fox's pov: He doesn't care for the mods and therefore he avoids referrals which contribute to this site/that would benefit Cheapy who... wait for it... chose the mods.

At least that's how i interpreted it and I would do the same thing if I were in his shoes.

The problem is the referal links... however Cheapy's modifying the links, he's doing a terrible job of it (and pointing people to the wrong place.)

I set my profile to only allow comments by friends. If you are not a friend I can care less what you have to say to me.

This is the response to more and more people blocking friend requests from 0 levels and private profile bots. As well as more people being aware of the chat link malware/scam/virus wiping peoples inventories.

One, have you seen the sparsely updated wastelands of the pc forum? Two, the thread is theoretically too specific and general at the same time due to it's pc and ot focus for general discussion and regularly features deals.

Sides do the seasonals really think they would do a better job of getting deals if the regulars just took all the chatter to a different sub forum on here? Something tells me not half the pc deals get posted to the deals forum if that happened.

Whenever someone makes a friend request, I always do a modest amount of research. If the person making the request has a private profile or is level 0, I block them. If we just have no friends or groups in common, and I've not recently played a multiplayer game with them, then I ignore them. So far I've managed to keep out the bots and scammers. I feel like I'm not only taking care of myself, but also everyone on my friends list -- I wouldn't want to see them scammed because of my negligence, and I hope everyone else is doing the same.

Thanks for the Big Fish tips, btw... Fishdom 3 CE is mine. :twisted:

33% of the time, I accept the random L0 or L1 request to confirm if it's really a scammer/bot and then report them.

 
Guys, help needed.

I have a large DVD back catalog that I gradually want to digitise. Ultimately I'll run a Plex server and so on, with the aim of serving 3-4 devices at once if needed, but for now I just need to get encoded/whateveryoucallit; I have the hardware, just not the knowhow.

What do I need? I keep reading about handbrake, is that it? Or do I need another program?

Time is something I have plenty of, so if it means doing 5-10-15 a week, that's not a problem. I just want to get rid of all these silly boxes and free up space in my study. (I can hear MysterD weeping from here)

TL:DR; digitising DVDs. Wat do?

What is your end goal, quality or space savings and where do you want to play the stuff. I initially wanted to keep my library intact, so I ripped everything as ISO and for awhile it was nice. ISO allows keeping menus and all the little extras that are part of the disc. But, after 12TB I started to realize HDD space was getting too expensive, so I cut things down to just the main movie. Then after reaching 12TB again, I saw the need to compress the files which I am in the process of doing now. I decided on using the MKV container even though MP4 is more widely supported. There's enough software/apps out now that everything can likely play MKV and the container is more flexible. If I had to do it all over again, I'd first use MakeMKV to rip the main movie and whatever audio/subs I wanted. From there use HandBrake to shink the file and narrow down specific audio/sub tracks. The first pass of MakeMKV is pretty quick, HandBrake on the other hand, according to the amount of compression can easily take longer than the movie itself for something like a Blu-ray rip. HandBrake will also use up 100% of your CPU (GPU offloading is still being worked on), so having a seperate rig for these tasks can be handy. I'm still learning, but I have around 900 movies on my server (I use Media Browser). If you want to know more, feel free to hit me up via PM or Steam chat.

Edit: And for the record, yes, I own all of the physical discs that I currently have ripped.

You know, I've been using WinXDVD (got it for "free" through TrialPay) and it works decent for that I need, but I'm always up for something free. I'll give this a try. VUDU also has something where you can buy the digital version of movies for a few bucks if you have the physical DVD in your disc drive. I would be more likely to consider that if we didn't have 100s of DVDs.

Don't do it yourself. Find a quality tracker and just snag them online. People who do this all the time are going to have remux's that look better and take up less space. A great remux will look as good or 90% as good as the original, and yet take up wayyyyyyy less space. You will consume a ton of time to learn the process, then actually do it, compared to 'click it and forget it'. I made the same mistake as Neruo5i5 early on, then realized my folly.

My favorite part is where Shrike mentions that the Winter sale was unusable due to "clicquish" things but ignores that fact that there was almost ZERO/NOTHING/NADA worthy of being called a sale on there... And then they point to Frisky in the PSN thread but that thread gets WAY more out of control (and has had members banned far more frequently) than this one.

 
My wife walked in on me playing Kitten Sanctuary last night. 

"Yeah, um, so these kittens are, uh, being held by aliens and you need to, uh, match this stuff to open the trap and afterward your kitten lives in a little kitten park and you have to brush and play with it or it'll wander off again and, uh,... you don't get to judge me!"

"Oh, I'll be playing the shit out of this later on..."

Whenever someone makes a friend request, I always do a modest amount of research. If the person making the request has a private profile or is level 0, I block them. If we just have no friends or groups in common, and I've not recently played a multiplayer game with them, then I ignore them. So far I've managed to keep out the bots and scammers. I feel like I'm not only taking care of myself, but also everyone on my friends list -- I wouldn't want to see them scammed because of my negligence, and I hope everyone else is doing the same.

Thanks for the Big Fish tips, btw... Fishdom 3 CE is mine. :twisted:

98% of the private level 0s are fake. Once in a while I do actually have some developer or publisher rep or whatever try to add me because maybe they want me to write a review, or I won a code in a giveaway from a Steam group or maybe they are too stubborn to use WGN to hand out keys for votes so get some bright idea to do it one by one via IM, but usually their profile identifies their affiliation or Steamworks developer badge or something.

I know the Viva Media rep Jason got a bunch of spam and made his profile private which is kind of a shame because just looking at private profile and some guy's picture you'd have no way to know if say he was trying to interact with a customer, but that's the exception. Like you, I do try to do a modest bit of research before rejecting the request.

Oh and Fishdom is addicting. :p

Here in the States at Walmart (yeah yeah it's white trash and evil and all that) they have a disc to digital service where you can come in, bring your discs and they add that movie to your VUDU account for a couple of dollars or so.

I am lazy and can't be arsed with nerdy shit and my TV has the VUDU app built in so I admit I just use that sometimes.

So I took a look at the Gamestop - Gat Out Of Hell listing and the price is now $19.99.

My order is still open and has not been cancelled yet.   :whistle2:$

Anybody else getting a lot of spam on their Steam profile comments? I've been removing 10+ comments from different people daily all with links to probably viruses.

I haven't, but been getting a few 0-5 level no avatar friend requests. Seemed once I dumped a bunch of my cards they stopped trickling in though, so...

Also reading back, where is all this inappropriate language and pictures I apparently miss out on? Is there some time I need to be on to catch it? =(
