BRINK : DLC : pre-order bonuses

Oh . My SD just didnt do that :( .

Thats greedy my beloved Game developers. The pre-order bonuses are supposed to be bonuses and not to be sold as DLCs later on unless they are map packs.

Brink DLC: Fallout®/SpecOps Combo Pack is available on steam for $1.99

Quakecon 2011 Steam Sale : Aug 4th

Steam is rolling out new set of sales from today till Quakecon ends (Sunday , 7th Aug)


Quake 4 is up for grabs @ $ 19.99 with steam slashing the prices of BRINK to $ 24.99. BRINK is free to play till Sunday 1PM PST with the DLC included. The 50% off with the recent patches , fixes and free DLC is the best you can get BRINK for ( at least for the moment). Splashdamage sites are abuzz with the fact that player numbers have gone as high as 3900 right after the F2P announcement. I still consider that it is a desperate attempt from SD to sustain the game and improve the playerbase. The fact that I got slammed for the above statement is an other thing.

Some of the deals below :

• Quakecon Pack 2011 $70
• DOOM 3 Pack $12.50
• QUAKE III: Team Arena $10
• Quake III Arena $10

BRINK DLC , Ohio State Fair

• The BRINK DLC is still not available in the US/UK for Xbox or PC . PS3 got some love yesterday when PSN users were reporting the DLC being available for download.Sony went ahead and made the content available yesterday , 2nd of Aug , which was consistent with the speculations which took roots considering Sony releases new contents on Tuesdays. I am not complaining. The DLC screenshots make for some good wallpapers. That is all what i have to say at this point :)
•  Ohio state fair opened up a week back and the concerts list looks awesome :
• Trace Adkins : Aug 3rd ( which is today)
•  Brad Paisley with Blake Shelton and Jerrod Niemann ( Aug 7) . Now I need to coax my friends to change the Saturday plans to one for Sunday :)
• Kingston & Sandisk 8GB flash Drives are going for around $8 in Amazon. The kingston one goes on and off with the free Super Saver shipping. 
• Update: They only have SS for the 11.99 Frustration free packaging one for the drive than then retail one.Funny how amazon is charging you $4 for changing the packaging.

BRINK DLC - 3rd Aug

BRINK DLC is due by Aug 3rd on all the platforms - so says the latest blog update from Splashdamage.

As i mentioned in the edge gamers website for Quake Con, it will be fun to see the finals for BRINK being played on a map which they haven't played till 24 hrs ago. Good going SD considering they could have released it early for PC without wasting time on the consent from MS/Sony. I respect the commitment towards releasing the DLC on the same day for all platforms , but you could have spared the PC folks from the wait. Then again , that would have been a disaster with the FREE DLC for two weeks campaign.

I have lost hope in the game. Wish I could travel to QuakeCon though.

BRINK DLC

BRINK , the First person shooter from SD which has gone under the bus for many a reasons will be in discussion for the next couple of days as well ( though the community surrounding it is dwindling) .

The recent post from badman with the details of the DLC points out that the game is FREE , but for two weeks ; which doesn't sound like the way it was announced first time around.

Suggestion for SplashDamage : Get out of Bethesda's hands. They are ruining it for you .
