    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.

    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).

    Just crafted 7 coal to get...

    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?)

    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.

    I still need to trade something, it's all coupons and coal, but anyway, let's make it for the spirit of free gifts and greed!

    Done.

    Since you guys are absolutely useless (kidding :D), 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.
  • edited December 2011
    Also thanks Jed. You know what you did and it rocks.
    Spoilers: I can play Fallout 3 uncensored and most importantly in English now.
  • edited December 2011
    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.

    Just got the Atom Zombie Smasher Achievements (which was damned difficult) and got the OddBoxx. Everything's coming up Milhouse!

    By the way; if anyone wants Risen, I'd trade it for Fallout: New Vegas and like 5 coal.
  • edited December 2011
    Anyone willing to trade for the achievement? :)
  • edited December 2011
    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)
  • edited December 2011
    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.
  • edited December 2011
    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.

    Thanks to der_ketzer for the trade.

    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).
  • edited December 2011
    The old sales are still valid for a bit after the new ones go up, I think three hours. The timer shows up under the current deals at 1 PM(EST).
  • edited December 2011
    The sales end at 2pm PST/5pm EST.

    Lovely, Ill wait until then to get a better idea what to buy.
  • edited December 2011
    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.

    From the new day, I can only reccomend Bastion at the moment. Great game for story-lovers.

    Today bought the Worms Golf Pack. Because I love Worms and I love pinball.

    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.

    Does anyone know anything about the release date for LEGO Harry Potter: Years 5-7 on Steam?

    The WB Games graphic on the Publisher Catalog page shows said game, but it is otherwise unable to be found.



    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."
  • edited December 2011
    I know the PC version is available on Play.com for around £15 (about $22, I think). I don't think that's the Steam version though.

    I used to think I was invincible in killing floor, then I took an EVERYTHING to my EVERYWHERE!!!
    I did get the reward for it though, more coal :/

    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.

    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.
