Support NeoGAF

I also can help out with gifting. Karma and all that. I took advantage so many times of the kindness of USA gaffers that it's time to pay back. EuroSteam here!

 

[Javaman]

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)

It might be a good idea to wait just in case the achievement thing is bugged. It you get them before the "switch" is pulled they might not count and there won't be a way to get them again. I'm probably wrong but the last thing you'll want to deal with during the sale is steam support.

There are already 10 or so xmas achievements you can get now. At the current rate you can probably get half of the achievements before the contest even starts.

By the way I'd recommend downloading any of the games with xmas achievements now if you already own them but don't have them installed yet.

Limbo that cheap ? Bought. Still hope for a mac release before Christmas

Edit : it says that I already got the game but isn't in my Library ... ?

 

[Nelo Ice]

Just got a 489.8 MB update for pyschonauts, wonder what it was for?

 

[Themacabre]

...It you get them before the "switch" is pulled they might not count and there won't be a way to get them again.

I hope not. I already have four...I would throw up.

I'll stop now. Just in case. The games aren't going anywhere.

It probably has to do with the christmas achievement.

Didn't they flat out say none gotten beforehand will count? Seems likely they'd end up not counting.

It worked fine the previous years.

The ones you can already get now, are clearly meant to be achievable already.

They who?

 

[Petrie]

They who?

I thought someone quoted one of the developers as saying this.

That was ony for the Beat Hazard ones, because the achievements in that only showed up in game but weren't hooked up to steam yet.

that open steamworks/registry logger site was made private just now, he must of noticed a huge increase in bandwidth cause it was posted on pretty much every pc forum after it was posted on here so it's passworded now, doh.

I hope you guys weren't planning on doing anything on Steam tonight, a huge TF2 update is planned for the next hour and those always cause Steam problems.

I keep getting stupid 503s, WTF

You can still download and use the Steam Registry Editor.

 

[mrgone]

I thought someone quoted one of the developers as saying this.

I was mostly kidding with my post There were a few troubles with early achievements during the last treasure hunt that I think were mostly ironed out (I hope!) It'd be kind of nuts to allow those achievements to go live now for the contest if they wouldn't count when it started. Some of them are almost unavoidable through regular play, from what I can tell. Hopefully that was just a special case with the one dev.

That's exactly why I never messed with it. I knew once a lot of people started using it it'd either go away or become available to only a few people.

 

[shintoki]

But I already started to get them. I played Rise of the Immortals for crying out loud! Its sooooo bad.

Auto quote : It appears I bought Limbo from Steam (in my transaction history) but not in my library ?

I never have figured out how to work that program >_<

edit: Chesskid explained it to me thanks!

 

[moojito]

So the daily deal reminded me I got limbo ages ago, so I installed it and gave it a go.

Fuck that spider.

That is all.

 

[jim-jam bongs]

Oh don't worry, he gets his.

 

[ShaneB]

pulling his leg off felt oh so good, yet oh so icky as well, lol

I felt kind of bad about it actually, spiders are pretty cool. There was something pretty fucked up about the fact that you slowly dismember him over the space of 15 minutes or so, then roll his abdomen into a pit of spikes.

Of course, I haven't finished it yet, but since then I've seen a bunch of even more messed up things so I got over it pretty quick. Game is dark 0.0

 

[moojito]

Awww, she just wants a cuddle!

seriously, never playing it again!

I feel like a horrible person for being sold on Limbo in this fashion.

But that is a wonderful narrative device.

*adds Limbo to wishlist*

1. Telltale is having a sale. Almost every season is $9.99 and comes with the collector's edition dvd (shipping not included).

It is pretty gruesome, the lack of colour helps the game keep some artistic merit instead of being offensive. lol

That's not gruesome at all, seriously fuck spiders. My war with them is eternal.

Haha, I meant the game in general. I agree with you about the spiders!

Steam sale hasn't even begun yet and my download speeds are already abysmal. Next few weeks are going to be absolutely brutal.

imo IM now has Steam Chat support on phones! To access it, download the latest beta version from the Android market.

I've been getting really wild variations this week. Today I downloaded Dungeons of Dredmor at 400kb/s, then downloaded Limbo about 20 minutes later and it hit 1.5mb/s and stayed there.

I'd love to be able to break 400kb/s right about now.

Quite a lot, actually!

Every time I look at Steam something else is trying to update now lolz. What is this.

They've put their entire back catalog on steam for $50 at least twice so far. Might be worth waiting for the main sale. Tf2 update tonight, and big Dungeon Defender update/DLC release too. What a bad night to be stuck at work.

 

[Themacabre]

This game is currently unavailable.
Please try again at another time.

...ugh.

TF2 update says what's up.

 

[Card Boy]

This is what i hate about the Xmas and Summer sales. You can't even download shit for 2 months a year.

I just had a Dungeon Defenders update pop up and its downloading at 16 to 40kb/sec. Normally i hit 1.6meg a sec.

Whats worse is the Xmas sale hasn't even started yet.

 

[DJ_Lae]

Whee.

 

[mrgone]

TF2 update, dude

 

[Darkerkamikaze]

My steam won't even launch at this point, TF2 updates are the worst.
