Yep. I'm probably grabbing Black Shark before the sale is over.

I wouldn't be surprised if Christmas Day is a best-of recap of the more popular dailies from the first six days of the sale, with another recap of the second week or the whole sale on December 31st or New Year's Day.

Would anyone like to trade coupons for the achievement?

I managed to turn my 7 coal into a coal , but at least it wasn't another coupon

Really? That's not suppose to be possible.

I thought I might have got mixed up with all the problems, but I double checked and it definately added up.

I know they said you can't get coal from the turn in... but now I can't find where they said it. Maybe they removed it.

I think Steam has definitely beefed up their servers since the summer sale. I haven't had the slightest hint of the usual problem with download speeds this time. Currently downloading DiRT3 at 1MB/s+, which for me is living at the foot of the cross.

Thanks a lot to Sven! Who made the decision for me and gifted me E.Y.E.! Classy gent wouldn't accept my lump of coal for the trade, but I told him that it was for the achievement... With the achievement I got another lump of coal, so it worked in the end, I guess.

Got my first gift for doing the Frozen Synapse achievement... Shadowgrounds and Shadowgrounds Survivor.

Any good? I didn't get it back when it was in the Trine bundle.

Well... I played all the way through the first one, it's a pretty nice shooter, run around with AWSD, aim with the mouse, bad voice acting and you can finish it in a couple of hours, I actually bought it thinking it had online co-op, but it only has local, I think the second one has online, but never tried it.

Guys, I tried setting up an account to get the Frozen Synapse achievement and the game just waited registering my account, anyone having this problem?

Edit.- Nevermind, managed to get the achievement playing offline.

I Know! I'm waiting, but i'll probably get a-10. It's the falcon of this decade and how do I pass up a actual sale on a flight sim (games with 10+ year life spans.)

Oh, and speaking of Falcon, if you still have your Falcon 4.0 disc: http://www.benchmarksims.org/forum/

And is the trading objective not all screwy now? Anyone free to help a crustacean nab more coal/useless coupons? I've got a -50% Valve and a -50% AAAaaAAAaaa coupon if anyone wanted one of those as well.

I'm free to help ya out Monsieur @Elderlycrawfish.

I come back from a supremely awkward dinner, the first of many (couple birthdays around Christmas, joy) to find @CustomSpecial and @mantherewolf have both gifted me games, Swarm Arena and Bioshock respectively. Thanks for making the holidays a little more bearable!

Also received a classy E.Y.E. gift from @Sven, who wishes that it will help with my trains. Well, you are free to ride in first class when my Railworks empire is created. Thanks!

I have, though only about halfway through on Xbox 360 when it red ringed on me. So I will take up the rest of the journey.

starman is a classy and shiny star and has gifted me the gift of train.

I got the achievement for trading but it looks like the trade never went through.

Yeah DSC A-10C has been in my wishlist too. It's one of my favorite planes.

As much as I want a Simmer's Sim game, I've never been a fan of the A-10.

Now the Blackshark one, on the other hand...

Sven

Grabbed a 4 pack, gave away 2 in a random asking. Heres the last copy.

Echo

In retrospect I shouldn't have made this giveaway so long. Oh well, here you go.

Awesome. I got it for doing the Trading achievement earlier and saw it on your wishlist. Figured why the hell not give it to someone who might get some use out of it.


As a side note, Unco sent me a copy of EYE! installing it now, cant wait to try it.

Doodmann

Can someone help me with the Greed Corp cheevo?

Idx86

When you are gifted Railworks, it means you have made it in this country. Or so I keep telling myself.

Sir Carcass

Oh snap, he gave you the deluxe version of Railworks

I would honor your Steamgifts contest with an enrollment, and sing your classy praises. Alas, I do not own the base game.

I was once like you.... now the A-10 is one of my favorite planes.

I haven't bought Black Shark yet because I just enjoy flying fixed wing craft more, but I'm always tempted to give it a try.

Then click away, because this is the Content Pack with the base game + all the DLC!

edit: actually I picked the wrong product, but it's the base game + DLC.

ManetherenWolf

ok, so Im about to buy Back to the Future... should I get Rage with it or hold off?

and what about From Dust? did they ever work out the problems from when it first released?

emnmnme

@matthasaproblem has given me a copy of Frozen Synapse. A classy gentleman, indeed.

Anyone have a magicka coupon? If they exist. I have coupons for Multiwinia, Sequence, Valve, and Psychonauts. Also willing to part with a copy of Terraria.

Echo

Yeah, I picked the wrong product on Steamgifts. But my inventory says:

ncludes 4 items: Section 8®: Prejudice™, Section 8: Prejudice Blitz Pack, Section 8: Prejudice Overdrive Map Pack, Section 8: Prejudice Frontier Colonies Map Pack

So go nuts.

Are you sure? I can't enter the contest at all, because I don't have the base game.

EDIT: Steamgifts doesn't let you enter a contest for DLC if you don't own the base game.

Bad news then, Steam will look to see if you have Section 8 installed since the giveaway was selected as DLC. Just double checked the giveaway and it says "Missing base game" so I can't enter.

If anyone else wants to double check to make sure it's not specific to me, that might be helpful.

Echo

Oh damnit. :x

Guess the safest thing is to let this one expire and then make a proper one.

Darth Nathan

Whoop whoop, grabbed From Dust, Frozen Synapse, and Saints Row the Third today. I really have to hand it to THQ, they have always been exceedingly generous with Steam sales. SR3 has been out what, two months, if that?

ihsviks

@Elderlycrawfish is hereby known to be a classy gentleman for gifting me Dungeons of Dredmor.
Helped turn my craptastic week into a pleasant one. Thanks again!
