    Beh, DEFCON has become near unplayable for me due to constant crashes.
  • edited December 2011
    Yay, "Mass Effect 1 & 2" 75% off!

    Yesterday I was sooo close to buying them... SO good I've waited.

    Anyone tried the rise of the immortals one? It difficult?
  • edited December 2011
    Runner is hard.
    Beat isn't really. I've got that achievement with a laptop mousepad.

    Yeah, turns out I never noticed the achievement notification, so I was sitting there fuming, "How the hell many times do I have to fill this meter up?!". I still can't finish the level, though.

    Rise of the immortals wont let me create an account to earn the achievement. Maybe tomarow.
  • edited December 2011
    DEFCON was an annoying achievement to get, if only because the game kept crashing every few minutes. But I got it, and what do I get for it but coal! (well it was either coal or a coupon for 66% off Prototype as I got the Toki Tori achievement a little earlier and I never checked what I got until later)

    I got the DEFCON achievement almost immediately after I hit DEFCON 1. No crashes or anything... Weird.


    Also.... Damn you game! Why you no let me register?!
  • edited December 2011
    I did the Toki Tori achievement (With great effort!) And the Rise of the Immortals achievement, and got a lump of coal, and a coupon for 60% off some King Arthur game :) Trade fodder!

    Hmm, 3 achievements so far.
    I got:
    A lump of coal
    50% of any valve title
    Serious Sam HD: the second encounter.

    Funnily enough, all freebies.
    Have yet to open a game to get achievements. :P

    Has anybody ever gotten a gift of a game or item they already owned? I guess it doesn't work that way?

    Yeah, a friend of mine got Portal, which he already owned. It's in your Inventory, so you can gift or trade it, but you can be gifted a game you own.

    There's nothing wrong with having Portal twice! I have Portal 2 three times over. :D

    I got Half-Life 2, a ToMI Complete Pack, with all five episodes for free, and a 50% off coupon for Revenge of the Titans.

    I just cannot seem to get that Candy Stripe achievement. I swear, I've gotten that R-W-R-W-R in a column over a dozen times and it never seems to count. What am I doing wrong?

    EDIT: Never mind, just got it. I think it's to do with which blocks are which colours. If I'm right, you need to reset them all to the defaults, then change the third one (the very middle one) to white.

    Anyone wanna trade lumps of coal for today's achievement?

    The servers are getting hammered by it, I'd recommend waiting a few hours (it seems to have gotten much better in the past 15 minutes or so, though).
  • edited December 2011
    I have a lump of coal, 25% off Valve and 50% off Bethesda to trade, don't care for what, just to get the achievement.
  • edited December 2011
    50% off Bethesda actually would extend the current sale price on Morrowind, probably the best it'll get frankly, out farther than the current sale. $10 for an old game like Morrowind is a lot in Steam dolloars, but is actually still really solid for anyone who hasn't played one of the best RPGs ever made.

    Just tossing that out there to try and get your coupons to have some value. =P
  • edited December 2011
    I'd love to trade with any of you.

    Unfortunately Steam has taken an arrow to the knee.
  • edited December 2011
    I'd like to point out for us UK folk, that the current Steam deal on Saints Row: The Third is not the best offer for it.

    The best offer on it is at the THQstore, on their website.
    £14.99 (£5 Cheaper) AND Includes the Pre-order DLC, and the Season Pass.

    (The Keys can be activated on Steam)

    can someone help me with the new great gift thing where u need to trade a coal with someone please!!!
  • edited December 2011
    Yep, cant view inventory, dont even know what I won for the frozen synapse one.
  • edited December 2011
    Ryan, we're all having problems with it. Steam is completely crippled at the moment. I'll try trading with you, but if it doesn't work, then you'll probably have to try some other day.

    EDIT: Yeah, didn't work. Since we're all waiting, I'll link that page with the list of achievements again so peeps can work on those instead. Here it is.

    Ill upload my music and work on the audiosurf one then.

    Need to get the device has been modified, loved that song during the potato event.
  • edited December 2011
    The thing on audio surf seems to be that the background must be black so if you want to do it in casual you need to change that.
  • edited December 2011
    Manually changing the background color doesn't change the color of the road, which is what matters. You have to try a different song until you get one where the road is black. You can get that in casual.

    My background is always black. I set the option in the menu that way.

    Got 7 coal, crafted it hoping for something nice.

    Got 50% off Assassins Creed Brotherhood.

    I dont even like the series

    I also got 50% off dungeond defenders for trading, which is what it is now.

    I really hate that some people are getting the orange box, while others are getting 50% off games they hate.
  • edited December 2011
    Right. Got four coal, have done four future achievements already. Theoretically, I shall definitely recieve at least one more gift then. :)
  • edited December 2011
    *Note had long version but my laptop has deleted it 3 TIMES!!!*

    I hate the coal thing. Its not fair that someone can get a coupon for a game they already own/hate while others get freaking game packs. It should have been nothing at all(yes Id prefer that) or it being the summer sale of " not so good DLC, but you can pick what you want". I prefer it being fair than this. Seriosuly Asassins Creed? I dont care its a bad series IMO.

    In other news, I have 33% off valve titles(useless) 50% off some monster slayer game(never heard of), 50% off Dungeon Defenders(good game, but its 50% off NOW), and 50% off Assassins Creed Brotherhood(HATE THE GAMES).

    1 coal each
