You guys are going to have nothing to do when they're unveiled each day:)

I'm waiting. Wanna see if they're going to get cool trinkets like the last time. If it's just lotto tickets for the Wishlist, pfft. I'm passing:)

fml I came home from university for christmas and only have my shitty laptop that cant even run binding of isaac :( I am going to miss out on steam fun

Pretty much the same for me, on a mac. I can run Isaac at least, haven't tried Super Meat Boy but I feel like I'd have to run it very low quality, which I'll probably pass on. It'll just make a nice looking game look bad, pssh! So unfair!

That's when we go back to playing games we actually want to play :lol

If you wait until the contest actually starts it will be very hard to "catch 'em all". Have fun downloading Shogun 2 which is 16GB when steam servers are getting hammered from the sales/contest, etc. There's still going to be a bunch left to do at christmas.

Also, for the games I hadn't played yet, I'm actually taking the time to play them for real a bit, and not just rushing to get the achievement.

I don't have many games on that christmas achievement list and I'm not interested in buying many more of them. How hard I try will depend on what the prizes are.
 
Does the D2D Crysis 2 activate on Steam?

Nope, definitely not.

How does that work, do they send you an email with the code for Origin, or what? I've never used D2D before, don't wanna install yet another DD client (I already have GameStop, Origin and Steam on here).

They will give you a regular cd key which can optionally be linked to an Origin account. Otherwise you can just download the game directly from D2D and use the key while installing that, no client required.

What a gyp, I bought it but it says "We are currently restocking keys for Crysis 2, and they will be available shortly.

Please check back later."

Disappointment am total. Oh well, at least it was only a few quid.

I tried Toki Tori an hour ago and the Forest levels weren't snowy. Also tried Trine and the presents weren't there. Played Beat Hazard Christmas station for 11 minutes and didn't get anything. I just verified the files and nothing seems to be missing. I'm going to guess they didn't update the Mac versions...

At least Jamestown, SMB and Killing Floor worked.

The Trine one worked for me last night (got it in before steam went down again)

Can anyone tell me where the Steam cache is on Mac? Having some severe problems with Football Manager 2012 and i deleted Steam and reinstalled but it already had my login details... Im on Lion and Steam don't seem to have updated their OSX instructions for Lion changes.

Universal Access can be found under System Preferences
I'm on for a while for gifting Shogun 2 and/or DLC for all you people getting ripped off. Same name.

Hmmm, Fall of the Samurai is standalone.

Are there more incoming DLCs for Shogun 2? Don't exactly want to get it and then have more DLC bombared on me since I probably won't get started with it right away. I think 10-15$ might be the sweet spot for an impulse purchase for a complete edition instead.

Why that kind of achievement in Poker Night!? It's based on complete luck! I could get in today like I could get it in a month!

Ugh!

I haven't played a lot of Binding of Isaac, but I'm fairly sure the Christmas achievement for that is based on luck as well.
