    You can get a whole free game with these tickets? Besides the grand prize thing I mean.

    Yeah, Alien Breed 2.

    I've been unable to get TF2 working on my laptop computer. I hope tomorrow afternoon I'll get it working on my desktop and get the TF2 ticket achievement

    Quick question for you guys. If I missed a daily deal that I wanted because I lacked money at the time did I completely miss my chance to get it for an even lower price than it is now or is there a chance that it could go on sale again?

    I honestly doubt I'll get that lucky but no harm in asking.

    The last day is usually 'here are the best selling deals again', so don't fret!

    I just noticed the new Poker Night achievement. Guess I'll have to start working on that soon.

    This deal's been great. I finally bought Amnesia and the Mount and Blade collection.

    Guess I'll wait then =P

    Oh yeah, to all ticket hunters, go for the L4D2 one first if possible, if we get 20,000 people to get the achievement, we get Dead Air early. I already did my part, now you do yours.

    I'm just waiting for it to finish downloading.


    That'll get me 12 tickets which is as far as I can go currently.

    I'm not getting the achievement for uploading a snapshot even though I already did, any ideas of what's wrong? =/
  • edited July 2011
    You did it after the achievement was posted, right? The new ones don't count if it's something you've only done before.
  • edited July 2011
    So, I just played Poker Night and got the achievement on my first hand by going all in. :D

    I did right before I posted that actually. Doesn't matter anyways, just had to do it again.

    I'd like to play Poker Night again for the achievement, but if my laptop (out for repairs), which is more powerful than my desktop, had plenty of trouble running it, no way in hell this can run it in a bearable way =/

    Damn Steam, too many offers not enough money.

    Yup, just caved to that deal myself, £3.74 for me here. Got a few other cheap games that look interesting too.

    ooh, new deals...

    Just seen that Audiosurf is one of todays deals at 85% off. If you haven't got it already, now is the time to pick it up.
  • edited July 2011
    Audiosurf aside, nothing really exciting today.
  • edited July 2011
    I haven't bought a single game during this sale. It's odd.
  • edited July 2011
    So Poker Night's steam version is uninstalled, and Im having terrible luck with audiosurf. Anyone have any tips for audiosurf's ticket?
  • edited July 2011
    I forgot that Audiosurf crashes every time I get an achievement. Anyway, I did it with The Lonely Island's "Threw it on the Ground" and the Pointman ship. All you have to do is build a checkerboard pattern with blue and yellow blocks, fill the whole grid this way, then hit a red paint block. You need a slower song, otherwise the red paint block won't show up (as I learned with "I Just Had Sex", "Jack Sparrow", and "Motherlover").

    It's time for the annual Steam Summer Sale. Among many other great deals, you can now get every single Telltale game for $50.
    Say good bye to Telltale as you know it. From now on (after this sale...), it's all about the new games, and new style.

    Hopefully we'll see again some good ol' adventuring in style of Monkey Island, Sam & Max, BttF etc.

    They are cleaning the store at the moment, to make way for the new games. As I see it, most or none of them are in the style of these "classic" adventures (can't say anything about Kings Quest, since there is no real info about it). So, the arsenal is not going to be classic adventure-y, but something more serious, or not adventure at all.

    ....you realize this thread is for the summer sale on Valve's Steam service here, right?

    No, none of that statement is true other than that telltale has removed physical merchandise from the store and that we know nothing about any of the future games other than Jurassic Park.

    Noooooo!!!!! Sanctum is now on sale and I spent the last bit of money I had available on the Sims 3!
  • edited July 2011
    RUSH is turning out to be pretty awesome. Haven't found the level that grants the achievement yet, but I'm still having a great time with it.
  • edited July 2011
    Telltale's (and many other game dev's) complete catalogue go on mega sales all the time. This isn't the first time it's happened. And it won't be the last. Their old games will always be there.

    Go on easy Pointmaster mode and try to collect a different colour for in each column for every row (make sure no more than 2 of the same colours are touching at once). Then ride the sidelines (avoid bonuses for other colours and types, as they appear in the sidelines while colour blocks do not) with a full collection of 21 until you see a red paint bonus and grab it.

    I'm currently at 16 tickets. The one that took me the longest so far was Spiral Knights. today I nabbed the L4D2 one, Audiosurf, Counter-Strike Source, and Poker Night, which took a while. Stinkin' Strong Bad had a Four of a Kind TWICE.
  • edited July 2011
    Did Audiosurf with Britney Spears - Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman (only slow song I have).
    Still need to get the Killing Floor ticket and maybe Spiral Nights.
    But I am not really after more than 3 tickets now as the only thing I need to get is Alien Breed 2: Assault.

    Anyone knows a good server to get the TF2 "Escape the Heat" achievement?
  • edited July 2011
    Most easy way is to have a friend help you, but as you are asking here I guess you don't have anyone who plays the game. But you could always ask someone in here to help you out. I know this is a friendly community and I am sure you can find the help, heck even I can help if you want. :)
    But I am not home until around 14:30 CET.
  • edited July 2011
    Maybe I can find someone to play with. Do you know a good map with water?
  • edited July 2011
    The 2Fort Capture the Flag map has a lot of water, so I would suggest going there. :)

    Stinkin' Strong Bad had a Four of a Kind TWICE.

    You too, huh? I'd already gotten the achievement and was just trying to win the game by the time I started having trouble with him, but he managed to clean out everyone but Max (who I'd taken out), then used his considerable wealth to bleed me dry on the blinds. It got to where I was lucky to even see the flop because I had no choice but to fold instantly or blindly go all-in.

    So far, I've managed to pick up 13 tickets. Besides the seven camp tickets (the last of which I was very pleased not to have to download anything new for), I've done the achievements for BIT.TRIP BEAT, Toki Tori, RUSH, BIT.TRIP RUNNER, Audiosurf, and Poker Night. I still need to pick up the ones for Magicka, TF2, AaAaAA!!!, and Spiral Knights, though at this point, the only prize I haven't yet redeemed that I would have any use for at all is the free game, and I only need two more tickets for that.

    The Audiosurf achievement annoyed me last night, twice got my columns full but couldn't find a red paint thing. I'll try again with a different song later.

    Yeah that there is my problem, im not a heavy music listener, so Ive been using the orange box soundtrack. If I need a slow song, then maybe Still Alive would work.

    As for tickets, ive gotten all of the freebie ones minus the facebook one, then spiral knights, tf2, L4D2(glad we hit the mark to get the DLC early), Bit Trip:Beat, RUSH(FYI, the level is the sun, click somewhere in the center), and I think thats it which just leaves.
    Poker Night:Since I dont use the steam verison, I have to install it, and steam is slow on a camping trip with weak wifi
    Meat Boy:I suck at the main levels, let alone A+ing the dark ones in hell
    Polynomial and Beat Trip:Eyes hurt when playing
    Audiosurf:still working on.
    MNC:Waiting until I have better internet before I try online, but I do have the taunt needed for that.(Its the summer DLC ones)

    Just got the Audiosurf one with my first attempt today. Cheers for the tip about the Rush one, will look to do that later on.

    Looks like Portal 2 coop will have a ticket. They added a new achievement.
