    Left 4 Dead 2 is going for $6.79 today on Steam. Get it while it lasts. This is a great game for that price and it plays pretty well on the M11x.

    Thanks for the heads up! +rep

    Anyone have suggestions on whether it's worth it to get the 1+2 bundle ($10!), or will 2 alone suffice? Definitely going for one of these two options.

    And should I expect this to run really well on a 1.73GHz/4GB R1?

    Thanks for the heads up.

    Brother: If you haven't played part 1 yet, then it might be worth it if you want to play through the single player campaigns. Can't beat it for ~$4 extra.

    They have sales now, to coincide with the release of their latest DLC called The Sacrifice.

    As for which to get - I would say buy both L4D1 and L4D2 for $10... the co-op campaigns for both those games are easily worth the price. And on top of that, you get some of the best asymmetrical team-based versus play out of any FPS.

    Is it bug or?

    When I try to manually add the L4D application to the white list of Optimus, it will show that L4D application was added into the whitelist. But when i close the Nvidia Control panel and reopen it, the L4D application doesn't show on it anymore.

    However, when i go and right click on L4D icon, the default graphic card shows it is using Nvidia graphic card.

    Playing real smooth on all high settings :D
