I know they're encouraging people to trade and all, but god damn, they really should've had the system take people's inventories into account before awarding prizes. This really is the worst Steam sale game I've ever seen.
Alice: Madness Returns - 75% (Does anyone know if this comes with the original Alice? If so, sold!)
Atom Zombie Smasher - 75%
Batman: Arkham Asylum (not Arkham City!) - 75%
Call Of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - 25% off
Dungeons - 60% off
Fallout 3: GotY Edition - 75%
Football Manager 2012 - 33% off
IL-2 Sturmovik: 1946 - 66% off
Killing Floor - 75%
Nuclear Dawn - 75%
Overlord franchise - 75%
X3 sub-series - 75%
I got Risen. Hm. Tempting to think what to trade it for (I'd gladly keep it, but I couldn't run it in 1000 years).
and I just bought that yesterday. sigh. I love the Gothic games and this is Gothic 3 to me. The other Gothic 3 didn't happen and Arcadia is something completely else. Just compare both with closed eyes and you can feel which one is the real next game in the Gothic series.
Also: if anybody needs Atom Zombie Smasher I havbe a gift copy of it from one of my gift-pile-achievements.
Since you guys are absolutely useless (kidding ), I found out that No, Alice: Madness Returns does not come with the original Alice. Not by default, anyway. Apparently if you already own Alice you can copy it across to the correct folder and then edit an ini for Madness Returns so it'll work, but it's flaky and apparently doesn't work properly.
Good thing I've already got it on PS3 then, isn't it.
Also, thanks der_ketzer. You know what you did, and I appreciate it.
Might be a foolish question to ask here, since I assume everybody here has the game, but is anybody perchance interested in Oddworld: Abe's Exoddus? I'll accept any gift certificate for any game I don't have, unless it's a very wanted game, in which case I can further trade with people, or a game I currently don't have (can be any game, even the poop ones), or coal. I think it's too much to ask for a The Sims 3 EP, seeing as nobody has gotten any for free, but yeah.
Also, I'm GaryCXJk almost everywhere, at least in 99.99% of all the cases.
Ok Ive given up on this stupid contest. As stated before, its not fair that people are getting coal while others get free AAA titles.
Im only doing achievements that are easy now, Atam Zombie Smasher's for instance, is NOT easy(nor is it in my defention "fair" when one zombie can instantly infect 30,000 people because they all charged head first at the thing, and my helicopter is freeking steering itself across the map)
Actually, part of the strategy IS to let as much of the peeps get turned into zombies at the first couple of waves, which will make the later stages that much easier since you now have to manage a smaller group of people and therefore have less people that can be turned into zeds.

I am rapidly losing respect for you just because you are being petty about the fact that the contest encourages you to further participate rather than just always giving free things. Would I have preferred a different game to the OddBoxx I recieved earlier? Most definately. But I'm not complaining, because that's the luck of the draw.
Yeah, to be honest, I myself don't have a lot of games that I can use from the drawing. I already have both Oddworld games involving Abe, and i don't really give a bunch about that other game I got. The rest is either coal (8 of them) or coupons. However, I'm not complaining, first of all they're free anyway, and second, I already got the games, so no complaining here.
If anybody wants to trade stuff just to get their achievment, im willing to do it. Im Gego at Steam (if there are many Gegos, im the one with the avatar of the Jester from Simon II)
Hey, I havent been paying attention recently, but is this sale still doing that "grace period" where the new daily deal and the old one interlap? Im planning on buying killing floor, but wanna know if I should do that now, or wait when the new deal is up and check out for other games(I get I can simply buy one now and the other when the new sale occurs, but want to do it all at once).
I believe it's four hours after they first go up, but yes, there is a 'grace period', so to speak.
For instance, let's go with Christmas day. That days (slightly disappointing, if I'm honest) sales started at 18:00 GMT. But the deals from Christmas Eve ended at 22:00 the same day. So there was a four hour period where you could grab games from both days.

oh yeah, yesterdays sales were pathetic, the only game I wanted from it was Killing Floor which I have good things about and havent played yet, but a I wanted to see if I could buy it along with anything good from todays sale.
EDIT:Actually, now Im second guesing killing floor. Curse my second guessing.
Well, you've got 3½ hours to make your mind up, 'cause here's the next round.
A Game of Thrones: Genesis - 50% off
Anomaly: Warzone Earth - 75%
Bastion - 66% off
Beat Hazard - 75%
Bulletstorm - 75%
Far Cry series - 75%

Red Faction series - 75%
Rock of Ages - 75%

Worms series? - 75%
EDIT:Wiki says "The game was released in North America on November 11, 2011; however, the PC version of the game was immediately recalled as a fault was found in relation to its Digital Rights Management. No official word has been released but some game websites changed the PC version's release date to the 18th of November, coinciding with the European and Australasian release. However, this date has come and passed and no news has been heard as of late."
NOOOO! I missed out of the 1,000th post! Curse you Ribs, I deserved that milestone! After all I've done for this thread!
...wait, this would be the 1,000th reply, wouldn't it? Ok, I'll take that. As long as I get some sort of milestone.
So... how's everyone doing with the Winter Objectives? I've got 10 done and can probably do another 5 or so. I don't own a lot of the games needed, so I'm a little limited in what I can do.

a 50% off voucher for STORM: Frontline Nation.
I've never even heard of that! Christ, these vouchers are sodding pointless.
(Seriously though, anyone know about Alice?)

Spoilers: I can play Fallout 3 uncensored and most importantly in English now.
Also, I'm GaryCXJk almost everywhere, at least in 99.99% of all the cases.
By the way; if anyone wants Risen, I'd trade it for Fallout: New Vegas and like 5 coal.

Lovely, Ill wait until then to get a better idea what to buy.

Also, I already have reserved Alien Breed 3 for another person who wants it, so that one's already taken.
Thanks for the guest pass, helped me make a final decision before it was too late(bought:D).
Now I just need dungeon defenders and binding of isaac to go on daily deal and Ill be set.
The WB Games graphic on the Publisher Catalog page shows said game, but it is otherwise unable to be found.

I did get the reward for it though, more coal
What was that from? MNC? I got 2 refined for those
Yeah, but I'd say 2 refined'd be around $2.50-ish. If it's any consolation, I threw in a coal to seal the deal.
And I got 50% off Brink for that, which I appreciate as something I might use maybe sometime.
