Just redid the beat hazard one.
Conclusion: MUCH EASIER without shitty rap rapage of "christmas songs" like earlier.
Edit: And then the nsync started and I started dying again lol
Edit2: When the internet radio cuts out, I lose ALL my power and can't kill anything anymore. Die, and I just see enemies floating in darkness. What?
Also, what, there's a spacechem one? (not on the steamtreasurehunt wikia page yet?)

Well, I'm done! I'm off to see family and then off to Vegas. No more PC gaming from me. It was alot of fun though!
God I hope these are tradeable like the tickets were...... It would make my Christmas!
Dmax: Go to survival: Internet radio: The first 2 options are christmas radio stations

It should be under internet radio. There were two Christmas stations when I tried it.
I believe the Diggle Nog achievement is one of the Winter achievements, but I could be wrong.
How do you do that one btw?

I want to get the Bit Trip Runner "Amnesia" achievement and can't get to the spider. I am getting better but I don't want to finish a bonus stage.

it as been announced at the same time HL2 got released. Of course it was VALVE time
The developer said you have to craft it with the porta-still, but I got the achievement when I stole the diggle nog from a vending machine.
How to cheese the Beat Hazard achievements in a few easy steps:
1. Start playing survival, get to 5 minutes.
2. Internet radio cuts out. Blessed silence. No more nsync. You don't respawn. "Huh", you think. "I wonder..."
3. 5 minutes later. My that's a lot of ships. And hey, there's only one boss ship.
4. 10 minutes later.Yawn.
5. 15 minutes later, you're done. The same boss ship stayed on screen the entire time without getting any buddies.

why did no one tell me Swords and Soldiers is amazing? just played a few games in MP and it's a very quirky 2D RTS game, anyway got the achievement in the online game, had to take a few rounds before I got it, but when I did I won that match to boot
GO AZTECS!!!
Because no-one knows about it! But amazing it is.

I got the Atom Zombie Smasher one after some help from the Steam forums, which I will put behind spoiler tags for no particular reason. A good tip was to
. An even better tip was
. And if the achievement doesn't pop up, start a new campaign, go into the first area, and concede. Like DrPirate said, that should do the trick.
It occurs to me that all this achievement talk should be in a dedicated sale discussion thread somewhere.
not do too well on the early waves, because every civilian left alive is another zombie you'll have to kill later when you will already have too many zombies to kill. Let most of the people die early; as long as a single one is left alive, you don't lose
that the game speed modifiers from the main game work in this mode. Use the space bar or plus and minus to reduce the speed as low as ten percent and it becomes a cakewalk

I love the Holiday Whompa design.
Sequence acheeved!

Oh god. That was the worst achievement ever. Such nauseating music.

what game is this ? It is from Valve's Source Engine webpage but I can't identify it...
Edit : oh, is it CSS ?

Counter Strike Source, that map is de_train.

Some of the Source engine games share files.
Yeah, I know. It happens for non-valve games too tho.
Also, I had the 'required' amount of space free, and it wasn't enough to 'run' the game (that was the message I got halfway through the prepping of the files dialog)

De Train, boss! De Train!
I meant three more, but yeah. So was it a glitch that the radio cut out or what?
I dunno what exactly happened, but the 'music' suddenly cut off and I lost all my firing power (as you do when there's a quiet bit in a song). After I died, the game just continued in silence, the ships converging on the space my ship would have been in if I'd respawned, which I hadn't for some reason.
I see it as the universe rewarding me for enduring 3 minutes of nsync myself
Can we expect big games to get christmas achievements too (outside of the Valve games?)? I pretty much got most of them on the games I own and I have to say most of the rest seem to be on Indie games that I really don't think are worth a purchase outside of indies bundle. I have to add that even some I had already bought turned out to be pretty dreadful.
Probably not. The bigger publishers/devs probably wouldn't have time/want to participate in it. There are some bigger budget games like Shogun 2 and such, but you won't see many. And I find a lot of the indie games cool, though the bundles seems to have soured some people on buying them individually.
Ick, Steam crashed when I tried to exit it with a Windows-detected error, so apparently Windows 7 decided to put it in permanent compatiblity mode and so Steam warned me about it when I started it again.
If you cancel the dialog box the warning seems to go away, but I'm nervous about running that way longterm. I seem to recall that the only way to fix it is dig through regedit and find the Steam.exe setting, since the actual shortcut setting isn't set up for compatibility mode.

Or maybe because the online sucks(technically) i have the game since launch and was disappointing
Yeah that's what I thought
. Just to be clear, I'm not saying all of the indie games are horrible. Far from that, but if I might clarify I would say that I'm happy I didn't pay the full price they usually retail for on steam for some of them. I particularly enjoyed Sanctum and Cave Story+ and I think Sequence is a great little title but I can't say the same for the other games on my list.Oh and I absolutely hate Killing Floor (this might not be as indie as the other titles though)!
It's just too bad that Bethesda can't add a special Christmas area or at least a special enemy to Skyrim/Fallout games.
I mean when you are in the top steam games you could at least make an effort to reward/entertain your customers during special events.
At least Valve are great as usual and they are making an effort to add some of these to their big games. Hopefully we get something for Portal 2 too.

Yeah in my case they fell on top of a gatling gun and I had to sell it for the presents to drop on the ground. At least you don't need to get all of them during the same game and enemies wil randomly drop presents too (those with a christmas hat).

The smaller independent studios and teams have a vested interest in trying to engage new customers through a promotional event like this, bigger companies with established ips don't.
Edit: And to be perfectly honest, I'm glad I only have to download and install small, indie games. There's no way I'm reinstalling something like Red Orchestra 2 just for a event like this.

Haha, I enjoyed it. I haven't listened to Christmas music at all this year so it really set the mood. Christmas is coming.
Got:
Team Fortress 2
Sequence
Audiosurf
Beat Hazard
Still have a bunch of games to go through.
Did a few achievements tonight.
* Frozen Synapse - Cheat easy - skirmish map with just 1 machinegunner and 0 enemies. Submit turn - win.
* L4D2 - Easy, though gifts don't seem to spawn except on the first map of a campaign.
* Counter-Strike:Source - Local game against bots - easy.
* Team Fortress 2 - Played properly a bit as a demoman; for the last gift I went around as a Spy waiting for drops.
* Toki Tori - Used a guide and it was still a pain since the achievement requires speed and the controls don't really facilitate that.
* Sequence - Easy, but I found out that I don't like the story or the characters.
* Jamestown - Pretty good game with very nice music. Tried playing with a mouse at first, but quickly switched over to keyboard.
* Audiosurf - Really easy. Got it on Pointman Pro while playing "Magia (Magic Mix)" by Kalafina (relevant to my avatar).
* Super Meat Boy - Got it using the jumping off the screen trick, but it was still damn hard.
Tried Hitogata Happa, but I'm probably doing something wrong as I can't seem to beat the first boss, let alone collect 10k candy gems.
No idea what to do in Gundemonium Recollection for the achievement.
Tried Poker Night for a bit until I realized this was gonna take a while.
Tried Red Orchestra 2 but it didn't seem to register.

Hitoga Happa - When you have a bomb icon above your head (appears and blinks) after filling up a bar on the boss (you must dodge the attacks obviously) , hit your special attack button (bullets should be slow and orange) and suicide bomb the boss. Repeat that to win (you have a lot of dolls). Should be able to get the achievement in the second level.
Haven't been able to figure out what to do for Gundemonium Recollection, but I think you have to at least make it to 3B for GundeadliGne.
I still really like this game. I'm not too into tower defense, but setting everything up and shooting everyone down is weirdly addictive. Nice sci-fi aesthetic, too.
You can just create a local server and keep using the console command kill, that's how I got it.
Creating a local server and playing with bots offline might be two different things. You probably have to play online in some sort of server (even if it is local and does not get registered in the global list).
It's 9 am, I've now spent 12 hours getting christmas chievos CONTINUOUSLY. It needed to be done quickly =p
