Beginning was fantastic and end wasn't the greatest. Definitely worth the $2.50 overall, though.

Rock of Ages Christmas update is up too.
Ugh at those games. A lot of them aren't worth anyones money unless they become super discounted.

Hmm, has Steam changed the way it rounds numbers...? The last time Limbo was 75% off it cost 2.49 (down from 9.99). Now it's 75% off again, but this time the price is 2.50. No big deal, of course, I just found it a bit odd.

I love the divide between games in using the achivement description as either a place to put a pun or explaining how to actually get the achivement.

What a great excuse to play more PC games. I'm going to install the ones I have that are on the list and see if I can't keep up this year.

I really want the CQ and PSYCHO acheevs, but alas, I shall be away on Christmas!
Also, I see the PUNCH A T-REX TO DEATH acheev missing.

So what is this? I get a free expansion for x3 of X3: Albion Prelude? Just for free? Okay cool.
Pretty sure my gaming laptop is on its way out. I can't even play TF2 anymore without stuttering. Tried to boot up Transformers while ago and it was like I was trying to play it on my old Pentium 4 with an 8800GT.
Just peachy. Might decide to grab a cheap desktop here soon. I like my gaming laptop for portability, but if they aren't reliable to keep them not overheating/breaking down, it's not worth it.

Have you tried defragging TF2 files within Steam? Or tried doing a clean install of Windows? How much free space is on your HDD? If there isn't enough Windows performance can go to shit.
Looks like Superbox owners get it free, which is pretty darn cool of Egosoft, I think! Might have to pick up one or the other during the sale.
Already working on it. Got RO2 and Jamestown.

Whoa, I better start installing the games I own on that list.

I've tried the Super Meat Boy ones, and either I'm getting rusty or they're reeeaaally hard.

I went with that same advice too. I only regret it seeing as how I knew when I bought it that I probably wouldn't even be playing it for quite some time, and I never did.
If I'm not mistaken they're not active yet.

God damn the trailer for that game is amazing. For $2.50, I can't resist.

They will almost certainly be linked to some kind of contest with prizes.

They seem to be. The levels have to be looked up in the Super Meat World part of the game. Their names are:
lump of coal
underwear
sweater
socks
fruit cake
I was asking just because of the missed opportunity to get that new DLC for free but to be honest, I haven't played X3 very much so far and if I had gotten that expansion, I wouldn't have played it for another 6 months at least.
What was it last year?
they worked for a bit but they are disabled now. (well that's what i read on other forums, but maybe they're wrong).
they don't want you to get em early. if you do, its possible you may have to do it again, so i'm just going to wait.

Wait so thats why Sanctum is dowloading 1.5 gi...oh right the update post (its funny Steam will throw some things in my face but when it comes to random updates you have to hunt why its updating...sometimes with no answer as Dungeno Defenders players can attest to). Bye bye bandwidth.

Dam Steam got me 2 times before the sale even started. Limbo and MW2.

In sweater you can jump over the top of the map. Underwear is the easiest without cheating though.

Well, that one shouldn't be too hard to pull off!
EDIT: Are these x-mas achievements supposed to show up in the game's regular achievement list? I don't see this one in mine, and my game updated a while ago.

Is it possible to use money from the steam wallet and money from my debit card together?
Taco_Human

Yes. You have the option to finish using whatever is left in your steam wallet and your debit will be charged whatever is needed left.

Now that I have the Orcs X-Mas Acheev... I no longer know what to do with my life....

I just played the Sanctum demo as well. I know what I'm asking my brother for Christmas.
Steam achievements are fun and all, but considering the winter sale does come it's going to be nigh on impossible for normal users to play games due to steam servers being overloaded, because someone wanted to download a 20gb game so he can get achievements in it for a hat.
I am part of the problem.

My strategy this year is going to be getting as many as I can before the sale actually starts, then cry into my pillow when Steam fails to recognize them for the contest because something's gone terribly wrong!
E.Y.E. achievement done! The Gift - Seems the gift is a random present-shaped drop from enemies. Just a few minutes of murder and that hat someone's mom knitted for them is mine. (No hats were actually collected. No mothers were harmed)

Age of Empires Online will most likely come to Steam soon.
I think the idea to integrate Live into games has been abandoned. Microsoft is adding very few titles to the service lately, there are has been almost no communication between GFWL developers and the people who post on the forums, and the client no longer has access to the store.
