How much is your Steam account worth?

And BS threads like this piss me off. If you don't like what I have to say you don't have post a reply either, but that's not how these forums work.

The former is by design. Bzzzt. Wrong answer. Meaningful valuations have no business in the thread. Get out.

No, it's about BS'ing about how much your Steam account is "worth". Be nice now... -ViRGE

Haven't we gone over this already? What your Steam account is worth depends on what someone is willing to pay for it, and that Steamcalculator site doesn't calculate that value. It doesn't even show what you were willing pay for the games in your account. It's all total BS.

Useless steam prizes

Maybe someone I know will mention that they want to buy Portal 2 or something in the next couple of months, but yah, I see the coupons as essentially winning nothing. Which is fine by me, I'm surprised how relatively easy it was to actually win a game outright, which apparently a lot of people...

2011 Steam Holiday Sale DEAD!

Just noticed that the last day's Daily Deals are already active. Or at least Skyrim, Shogun: Total War 2 and Deus Ex: Human Revolution are. Maybe others.

2011 Steam Holiday Sale DEAD!

A coupon for 50% off a Vavle game is pretty much worthless at the moment, since every Valve game is currently 50% off or more. Still it could be worse. He could've gotten the 7th peice of coal and then crafted it in to a 50% off Valve coupon. Or if was really unlucky a 25% off one. Each...

Using an SNES emulator on a standard def TV

The closest you're going to get is 640x480 with simple 1x or 2x scaling. The basic problem is that computer video cards handle TV out differently than the Super Nintendo did. The SNES outputs interlaced NTSC simply doubling lines (if necessary) and adding a border to pad the output to the...

Anyone recently switch back to a CRT to compare input lag?

Computer monitor CRTs don't use interlacing, at least not in the last 15 years. You can't even get modern versions of Windows to run in these ancient non-TV interlaced modes, so you weren't seeing seeing "deinterlacing" issues. The flickering is caused by running the monitor at the default 60 Hz...

Sony fraudulent misrepresentation on Blu-Ray players.

Yah, just return it for a full refund to the store you bought it from. Ultimately its the store that's responsible for giving you what was advertised and what their salesman said it was capable of.

Want to ship a bluray player to my wife's parents in Japan

Like everyone else recommended I would just buy a BluRay player in Japan. Shipping to Japan isn't cheap and this way your father in-law will get one with Japanese instructions, a Japanese UI and a Japanese waranty. It's not like there's much difference in the quality BluRay players, so I...
