A lot of classy folks in here. Merry Christmas to all!
For whoever was asking about the Steam forums, it took at least 8 hours for me to get my confirmation email. And then after that, maybe another 24 hours before I was actually approved to post.
Merry Christmas to all of you classy people out there, and to everyone else too!!
My gf continues to prove to be awesome and has given me a razer black widow ultimate! The clickity clack of the keys is intoxicating
The Razer Black Widow Ultimate is the best keyboard I've ever had. Some of the keys stop lighting up temporarily once in a while and give you a good scare, but the feedback it gives you with every click is great.
So, I got a golden coupon for -50% on any game published by 2K, which means it's already valid and will stack with the existing discounts. If anyone wants it, send me a PM. If you have some worthless coupon to trade me for it so I can complete that objective that would be nice too, but not a requirement.
So crafted my coal into a 50% off Zombie Atom Smasher coupon. This is fine, except said game is currently a daily deal at 75% off. :?
Pointless coupon is pointless. It doesn't even serve to benefit buying copies as gifts, because I can just buy the gifts cheaper. Damnit Steam, why do you taunt me so?
It's been so long since I've posted here, I've removed my signature since most of what I had here were broken links. Shows over, you can carry on to the next post.

Speaking of Christmas gifts, if anyone likes third-person platforming, gorgeous yet twisted art and level design, or Freudian imagery out the wazoo, I'm giving away Alice: Madness Returns.
After a series of coal and crappy coupons, I got two games today for achievements, Defense Grid: The Awakening, and Garshasp the monster slayer.
Already have Defense Grid (on PC and Xbox) and I have no interest in Garshasp, but games are games, so I'm happy.
If anybody wants Garshasp, ask me in Steam (current friends only) and you shall be gifted, I have sent out Defense Grid to someone who had it on their wishlist.
Atom Zombie Smasher is one of those games where I start it intending to just play for about 15 minutes or so, and end up playing it for an hour or two.
This is crazy, I can't get the demolition inc achievement. I have previously finished the game, and have done what people say in games (use the ramp in driver or bowling alley and a jump pad) but none of the car jump achievements will unlock. How can I fix this?
Since today (re-post, so yesterday) is both my birthday and also christmas, I decided to give away a bunch of gifts I have saved up over time. Nothing fancy, but perhaps some of you find something on my list that you have wanted anyway. And if not, perhaps you find something that you didn't want until today
In any case, please participate if there's something on that list that even only slightly interests you!
How to participate
You participate by sending me a PM telling me which item (only one item, please) you want, and including your email address (please include the address even if we're friends on Steam)
One entry per person
Your account has to be at least 6 months old (if your profile says June 2011, it's OK) and a reasonable amount of posts
I don't know when I'll get around to sorting it all out, but the giveaway will run at least until some point on the 25th, and possibly longer
edit: To clarify, this is not first-come-first-serve, but instead I will have a drawing for each entry that has multiple submissions, after I close the giveaway (as I said, which should be sometime on the 25th the soonest, when I get around to it)
edit2: Please realize that I can give the bundles away only as a whole, and not in parts, so by entering for Machinarium for example, I'd take that as you entering for the Humble Bundle #2.
The List
Note: Items marked in italics are ones that I only have Steam keys for, so keep that in mind. Mostly (only?) makes a difference with the Humble Bundles. Some of them are the real deal (an URL to the humble page that's your own), some of them are just the key so you can unlock the games on Steam. Also note that the Humble Bundles always include Steam keys, so you'll have the games on Steam in either case, so it shouldn't make much of a difference for most people in this thread.
Cross posting this because someone might be curious?
For anyone who is contemplating buying X3, fair warning - the game is a soul eater. You think your busy now? Well, buy X3 and guess what you'll never be busy again. All day err day will be spent plundering planets, pirating ships, and causing intergalactic market crashes. I fucking love this game but refuse to play it because I fear what will become of me. But like I said, that didnt stop me from immediately buying the expansion pack and I dont even know what it does. All I know is that theres going to be more pretty space stuff and oh my god its so fucking pretty.
For anyone who buys it and is totally overwhelmed, this guy made a bunch of tutorials. For anyone whose never played an X game before and isnt totally overwhelmed when they first get in game? You sir/madam are a fucking god.
In sum, buy X3 and abandon your families, friends, pets, plants, daily dietary necessities. Oh, and bring a poopsock.

Oh god I bought it before reading this warning. What have I done
This is crazy, I can't get the demolition inc achievement. I have previously finished the game, and have done what people say in games (use the ramp in driver or bowling alley and a jump pad) but none of the car jump achievements will unlock. How can I fix this?
Did you check the overlay? I think some games have been having problems along with steam. I've unlocked quite a few xmas achievements and not gotten a pop up in game, but the overlay shows it as done

Yeah it's not popped, I've got nearly every other achievement on this game, but not any of those, which is odd, since I've jumped plenty of cars over 400m, I got 3 stars on every map.

I dunno, but I know what you should be doing - get your poopsock ready son, its going to be a long enjoyable ride where days seem like hours and hours like minutes and minutes like ecstasy.

Where this is coming from Take with the usual grain of salt.
I have one of those. I feel you pain
Thank you for Killing Floor!
Guess something else is going on Steamgifts.
EDIT: Also, I have 10% off any KalypsoMedia game. I dont know which disappointed me more, the coupon or Nail'd.
Already have Defense Grid (on PC and Xbox) and I have no interest in Garshasp, but games are games, so I'm happy.

What is the point of being alive if you don't at least try to do something remarkable? ~ Mario Novak
I never fear death or dyin', I only fear never trying.
I find it a fun little strategy game.
Atom Zombie Smasher is one of those games where I start it intending to just play for about 15 minutes or so, and end up playing it for an hour or two.
Remember how people went crazy over this? For now, I am remaining uncrazy about these new findings.
Just skins. So not worth it, but still totally worth it.
just wanted to announce that my little giveaway ends in 75 minutes, i.e. at 9 PM CET.
Please enter, if you haven't already!
