    Methinks you misread that. They just mean the result of crafting won't be coal.

    How is this better than the wiki that was posted before the sale even went up? As far as I can tell, this one is *worse*.

    So my friend who has 3 games, and only plays one(terraria) got half life 2 on his achievements.

    Jealous he actually won, but Ive been trying to tell him that the games are really great FPS games, so thats good.

    Erm... Well... Ehem... I didn't see the other one.

    So what happens if you complete an achievement before it appears on the daily objectives?
    You have to do it again later or you automatically get a gift?

    So far i got 1 coal, 25% with Valve, and 50% with Bethesda. And Team Fortress 2 appears also in my inventory don't know why. Is that normal?

    I joined the group yesterday, and my coal was already sitting today, so I guess nothing.

    Im waiting until the actual days though because Im lazy.

    I think that the first time you get a trade-able item, inventory screens show up for all games that have trade-able items. It did this for me too, and I also get an inventory for Portal 2, which I do not own.

    I'm torn. I want to get as many objectives as possible, but I don't want to spend money on Jurassic Park even if it's on sale.

    You automatically get a gift, though it may lag behind the changeover by as much as an hour, since they'll undoubtedly be processing a lot of advance achievements.

    Don't buy games you'd regret buying otherwise. That's when it goes from being a value to being a scam. You do not want to pay $15 for a piece of crap game you'll hate and a piece of coal.

    Then again, I bought games I wouldn't have thought to buy otherwise, and love them! :D

    It would seem that they "unpacked" my game for me. It is no longer in my inventory, and is in my Library with the icon fixed. I would assume that if my clicking "Unpack" previously had worked albeit with a delayed reaction then there ought to have been some sort of confirmation dialoge box (ie. "Are you sure?" Yes/No) which there was not. However, my support ticket is still open with no reply from staff. I closed it.

    Got the "3 Wise Men" achievement on my first try. What now:D
    Its only going to get me coal

    I just won DOTA 2. *squee*

    Four achievements, four lumps of coal. Considering what I've been hearing about the prizes, I consider myself lucky.

    GODDAMIT! I GOT ANOTHER USELESS 25% OFF VALVE COUPON!!!

    RAGE! RAGE! RAGE!

    ....

    I'd rather have some nice coal... :(

    Hey, I got 16 achievements, 13 lumps of coal.

    I'd forgotten that Audiosurf crashes every time I get an achievement. Got Candy Stripe by using Pointman to play Stylo by Gorillaz. It took a ton of patience, and I barely got it at the end, but I got it.

    Edit: Screw BIT.TRIP. The second level of BEAT is downright brutal, and RUNNER is basically what VVVVVV would've been if the entire game was Doing Things the Hard Way. I can't even finish level 1-2.

    Edit x2: And as soon as I bitch about it, I finish the level. My only problem was those damn stairs.

    I just entered the contest-y thing (on the promise of free stuff just for entering), but when I get error messages like these:

    *note, not my screenshot*

    Guru, do you have anything to do with this? Maybe you deserve all that coal you've been getting! :p
  • edited December 2011
    Great. I got Atom Zombie Smasher as a gift. I already own it. But since there will be a trading achievement I keep it to get this achievement later. Anybody up for a trade as soon as the achievement pops up? I will revert the trade. I promise *muhaha*.
  • edited December 2011
    I got Serious Sam for my only achievement so far. Oh, and a Valve 25% off and 50% this other game I can't remember.

    Runner is hard.
    Beat isn't really. I've got that achievement with a laptop mousepad.

    Bah, Own only 1 game from today. And its for the polynomial which you can only get on X-mas according to the achievement.

    Who thought that one through?
