Witcher : Director's cut : $3.99

Witcher , the director's cut is going for $3.99 @ gamersgate. Thats the CHEAPEST I have seen this game go for. The regular version was on for $4.99 for a month or so in gog.com.

Vader's song : Sword of the Witcher comes to mind as I write this.

to bite or not to bite

Having played all the Assassins Creed series , Brotherhood was an obvious buy @ $50 ( or so ) when they released it. With backlog of games from steams sales , I waited. And thank God I did :

Direct2Drive has the game for $15.95 :).

Arkham city : Aint no place for a hero

Hidden recovery partitions

The Dell laptops usually come with a recovery partition which in some machines are hidden by default.The laptop which I bought from India had the partition visible and I was surprised when i didn't find one in my fiance's laptop. In case you are wondering how to see if Dell has hidden the recovery partition in your machine :


  • Click on Start -> Type in "cmd" without the quotes which should give you a command line exe in the search results. 
  • Right click and Run as Administrator.
  • Enter diskpart in the command line.
  • DISKPART> Enter "list disk" without quotes.
  • Select the disk number . I had only one connected and so "select disk 0"
  • Type in "list partition" . This 
  • Type in "select partition 2" ( 2 was the recovery partition in my case)
  • Type in "assign" : this should assign a drive letter to the recovery partition.


You are all set. The recovery partition should be visible now.
