Calax Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 With the announcement that Steam is joining PS3, I figured we should probably get ourselves acquainted on Steam I'm Calaxprimal (steamID), And ironically I appear to have mod privaleges for the [soDOFF] group/clan (Society of Dangerous Obsidian Fanatical Forumites). I admit to having an ulterior motive for this. It would appear that the member known as "Assassin" has been hacked and is sending "phishing" links to anyone so that more accounts will be hacked. If you're using steam and get a random message that has a link like Steamcommunity_com_viewprofile(numbers string).9hz.xxx, that's the phishing site. Anyway, let's all have fun.

sesobebo Posted June 15, 2010 Share Posted June 15, 2010 Apparently it's also EA week on Steam in case anyone's interested... A bit of blatant advertisement, or a notice for those, who might be interested: I'm not completely sure where the source for this is coming from, but the first two days seemed to be accurate enough.

Deadly_Nightshade Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 t would appear that the member known as "Assassin" has been hacked and is sending "phishing" links to anyone so that more accounts will be hacked. I've talked to Assassin and he's gotten his account back (and thus the phishing has stopped from the account). Still, thanks for posting this. "Geez.

Hurlshort Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I will say that the most recent overhaul of Steam has made a huge difference for me and my slow connection. It is way more stable and runs a lot smoother than before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calax Posted June 19, 2010 Author Share Posted June 19, 2010 ME and ME2 are 50 and 40% off on steam atm. ME2 is 23.99 Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deraldin Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 ME and ME2 are 50 and 40% off on steam atm. ME2 is 23.99 That should be 75% off for ME1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nemo0071 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 About an hour and a half ago, I think I grabbed ME & ME2 at the last possible minute. When I was done with the purchase, and saw the games in my library, I went back to the store tab and BAM it was Dragon Age day... And here I had (mis)calculated I had time until 10pm local (about half an hour from right now). Anyone has an idea how Steam handles time? I mean when does a "Steam day" start exactly? 12AM? 12PM? GMT? PST? "Save often!" -The Inquisitor "Floss regularly!" -also The Inquisitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WorstUsernameEver Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Uhmm... I paid less for both Dragon Age Origins and Awakening. Mass Effect 2 on Play.com costs less than the 'super deal' they were offering on Steam. I can give you that Mass Effect was dirty cheap, but I already have it so..

Nemo0071 Posted June 20, 2010 Share Posted June 20, 2010 Hmm... I'm fairly new to online shopping (especially for games) and it wasn't the deal of the century or anything... But $35 for both ME games? Pretty good I say. Oh btw your mileage MUST vary... I mean the Euro/Dollar thing on Steam we talked about earlier.

Walsingham Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I bought ME1, and now I'm told I can't contact the key server. Apparently thousands have been affected by this. Nice one, you 'anti piracy' douchebags. Offer the game for a pittance to get me to abandon my principles then actually help me out by making me even more angry than I was before. This kind of admin slapstick is PRECISELY why I don't trust draconian DRM nd believe the gok-brained dimwits who champion it in management should be flung into the pacific. "It wasn't lies.

Nemo0071 Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I haven't finished downloading ME yet and I honestly don't know when I'll get the time to actually play it... I hope the problem is resolved by the time I do. On another note, my friend's having a hard time with his Steam account too. He can't play TF2, or any games from his Orange Box for that matter... Something like "can't connect to Steam server, please try again in a few minutes". It's been about a week now and he's still trying... --- Oh, and after that, it says "validating" or something and takes a lot of time..... but still nothing. Any ideas? Anyone encountered that? I'll personally look into it asap. "Save often!" -The Inquisitor "Floss regularly!" -also The Inquisitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taviow Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) Wow. Hey guys,It looks like Mass Effect sold a few more copies than we anticipated during the sale yesterday. We're temporarily out of keys for Mass Effect. We've requested more from EA and will get them online as soon as we can. Once we get them in place, you'll be able to launch your game as normal. Thank you for your patience. -Alden Yeah that was the reason for the problem. Edited June 21, 2010 by taviow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walsingham Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 (edited) Got my key now. You guys talk about bugs in Obsidian games (which I've rarely experienced). I can't get the sound to work, and the graphics are glitching like a mo'fo' even at the lowest settings. My God is clearly punishing me for collaborating with the DRM bastards.

TheHarlequin Posted June 21, 2010 Share Posted June 21, 2010 I prefer impulse to steam myself. From what I have seen impulse is much more flexable when you want to run runs your bought from it. (ie dont have to have it running to play a game) World of Darkness News http://www.wodnews.net --- "I cannot profess to be a theologian; but it seems to me that Christians who believe in a super human Satan have got themselves into a logical impasse with regard to their own religion. For either God can not prevent the mischief of Satan, in which case he is not omnipotent; or else He could do so if he wished, but will not, in which case He is not benevolent. Fortunately, being a pagan witch, I am not called upon to solve this problem." - Doreen Valiente Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
