General Steam Sale Madness

[Shelldrake]

Ooh found something else...Company of Heroes Complete...ooooh...

Go for it Gus...then download the Blitzkreig mod.

[TheCommandTent]

You know you will eventually buy them all so why not get them all now for cheap.   ;D

[Gusington]

Shell you have the link for the mod?

Here you go. You want v4.5 plus the 4.51 update.

Hmm...I have been interested in ARMA for a long time just never pilled the trigger. Also, isn't there some connection between Take on Helicopters: Hinds and ARMA II?

Do a search on "Take On Helicopters Rearmed" (I'm on my Touchpad and can't figure out how to copy/paste a link...dang it).  One of the ToH patches (1.06) allows you to merge content from ARMA2 into ToH if you have both.  I've bought both ToH and ARMA2 during the sale, just haven't had a chance to download them yet. Hope to try them both out next week.

^That is fantastic...and makes my decision harder :(

Get ArmA II.  Then you can ride along in a HMMV with me and DV8 and we can all blow up together!

(Besides, Company of Heroes will just make you cry with their super jeeps.  Look.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JgpYXmjUv4)

Can't...decide...

I'd go with ARMA 2.  It's a neat game.

I just picked up Evochron Mercenary for $6 or so.  I don't know too much about it, but it looked neat.

Interesting game. Single player and MP are seamlessly merged.

I enjoyed Hegemony Gold. Not particularly deep but it really taught me a lot about ancient Greece. I'm also tempted by Arma 2 but I've already got three new games from this sale on top of my back log of 7-8 other titles.

You people should all get ARMA 2!  If you look in the opponent finder forum someone is going to be running a server for us!  Plus then you can get the Day Z mod and see what all the hype is about.

Do it!  You know you want to  8)

Wasn't Day Z that mod that ended up coming with a Trojan/Virus in it, and it turned out one of the key makers of the mod was secretly an evil hacker?

I haven't heard that?  Where did you read that at?

This was the only reference I could quicly find to a virus:

Dayz hacker uploads trojan to dayz host mirror. I'm at work so I'm not sure if I downloaded it. Not even sure when the file was available. I'll probably be reformatting....been awhile anyway. yeah!

http://dayzmod.com/forum/showthread.php?tid=9123

A person has gained access to our main email account which have details listed for our FTP's, etc. He then uploaded a malicious application to the US file host which has since been taken offline.

The file was called dayz_auto_updater.exe
This malicious software is lead to be a backdoor / bot. Below is the ThreatExpert report on this file.

http://www.threatexpert.com/report.aspx?...32bed88069

ThreatExpert also explains where this malicious application installs / moves its processes to stay hidden within your computer. So if you are a user who has downloaded the .exe called dayz_auto_updater.exe from the US Mirror is to scan their computer against viruses and read the description by ThreatExpert on where to locate this if your Virus detector does not pick it up.

The actual link to the DayZ forums comes up empty however.  ???

Dammit!  I just found out today that I'll be paid at the end of the month after all, and thus have money to spend; and of course the sale is now over.

Still.  Warlock: Master of the Arcane is on sale at Gamersgate at the moment, so I may well plump for that.

[Gusington]

^Sale is still on, I just got ARMA II Combined Forces.
