I dusted the inside of my PC today in preparation of my SSD which should be arriving later this week. I used a can of compressed air and it did get very cold as I was using it. It also seemed to spray a bit of liquid after a while so I used it in short bursts in the case and outside just to be sure that my components would be safe.

I don't know if it's a placebo effect but my PC does seem to be quieter now. Anyway, I'm going to have a look at which Steam games I want to keep on the SSD. It's 250GB so I should be able to get a few there in addition to Office, Photoshop, Winamp and Firefox.

it should be quieter if there was a lot of dust in their. More dust = more heat = fans kicking in sooner and harder.

It most likely is quieter and for a few reasons. But most likely your cooling fans are set on auto so the fan is revving up/down based on the temp. If you now have better airflow and cooler temps your fans won't have to work as hard.

Please don't start talking about dust or Salsa is going to post his nightmare fuel dust monster picture.

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
The first Deponia was a pretty (and) fun Point & Click with a couple of suprsingly good and entertaining puzzles. The main-character is a total shmuck and the definition of an anti-"hero", so if you can't stand following the adventures of an egotistical loser, you'd better pass. I liked it though, and Rufus does have a heart. Somewhere. Just a tiny one.

Haven't played the other ones. Chaos on Deponia kept crashing and was totally unplayable for me. :/

In other news; The Falcon & The Unicorn DLC for Might & Magic X is making my blood boil. I might just say screw it and finally start Divinity OS. Or play The Wolf Among Us Episode 4, haven't played that yet. Story was pretty interesting.

Is the new Bundle Stars bundle worth getting? With Fire and Sword looks like fun, but I already have Warband. Explodemon and Electronic Super Joy: Groove City also look pretty good.

Have you run into issues with GFWL? I'm not saying it's not shitty, but after I initially signed in it's never really bothered me since.
I finally finished Anor Londo last night. I'm enjoying the game but I also kind of want it to be over.

Not so much GFWL issues as multiplayer issues. The few times I've done co-op/invasion there is always connection issues starting it (found another world to join... failure). When I do enter someone else's world a lot of the time there is lag. I've beaten DS1 3 times solo so there is no issue with GFWL in the playability regard.

Hugs, stop using GFWL as an excuse for putting off O&S. Git gud and git chest.

I've returned from Georgia. Met a girl I hadn't seen in ten years, she proceeded to treat me like offal. She grew up to be tall and attractive. I didn't. And I walked into a door before leaving for my flight. Hard.

Anyways, DIVINITY YES PLEASE WEATHER STOP BEING HOT IN MY ROOM.

Who the fuck thought a guitar hero-esque QTE was a good fucking idea in Valiant Hearts. They shouldn't be allowed to design anything anymore.

My purchase cooldown period has expired. A handful of people will have Deponia shortly.

Am I the only one not offended by the MOBA trend? Also, it just hit me, what if L4D3 will have some elements of it?
Click to expand...

It's the new trend the industry is following, and I don't care at all if a game is a MOBA or not in the end I just want to enjoy my time with the game.

  • Democracy 3 66ish% off
  • Shadowrun Returns 75ish% off
  • Monaco 82ish% off
  • Gearcity EA 50ish% off
  • Amnesia Machine For Pigs 75% off

Kinda weird that they put Dragonfall on sale first, then did the base game.
Also, seriously Humble, would it kill you to add a percentage =p

Anyone left who hasn't bought Monaco, especially if you've got some buddies to play multiplayer with, you all need to jump on that deal. I cannot praise that one enough, just an amazing chaotic party multiplayer game.

I've never gotten a game from a Russian seller before - unless noted, are there any differences between the US-bought/Russian-bought versions of the Deponia Complete Journey?

Never really got into it.

Played a few matches with a friend and haven't touched it since. Personally it was a waste of money.

i was able to gift a bunch of people Night Of The Rabbit for $5 when the "premium" edition came out (back when $5 was a crazy price for that game), i always assumed it was a loophole that would be fixed. add in russian trading and people are getting the whole deponia trilogy for $2.50. it's insane
