Wonder how much HDD space you'd need for every game on Steam.

I wonder how long your game list would be...

 

[Manik]

I want Batman AA. Anybody interested in:

15$ + R.U.S.E = BatmanAA?

Maybe this is not the right place to put this...

Regards

Arkham City, right? Not Arkham Asylum?

 

[RoboShmup]

Defense Grid is fantabulous. It was recommended to me during the Summer Sale, and now I'm recommending it to everyone else. Really worth it.

 

[echoshifting]

Is Swords and Soldiers any good?

It's a bit on the simple side but it's still fun, and the writing during the campaign is surprisingly amusing. The price is right, go for it.

 

[Red]

Yes.

Yes. The entries in the final contest are directly related to how much coal you have on Jan 2nd

Thanks.


I wonder if there are any other services that promote themselves as well as Steam does. It really has become its own platform. These targeted Steam achievements are such a perfect way to advertise smaller titles, and it turns buying things into a game itself.

 

[Soi-Fong]

for anyone here interested, not a steam deal, but Amazon currently has digital download of Tropico 4 for 5 bucks.

 

[MNC]

I've got a beat hazard complete pack up for trade. A coal?

 

[Slightly Live]

Monkey Island Complete Pack as a gift? Thank you Steam.

 

[Starwolf_UK]

How did I miss that achievement?

*subscribes*

*50 percent off Supreme Commander 2*

:lol

I got 50% off Briad...it is 75% off right now.

Well actually looking at the steamprices graph it seems the trend is 75% off Christmas and other sales periods are only 50% off so if it is another daily between Jana nd March it is as good as the Chirstma...oh whats the point in pretending its useful *tears up coupon*

 

[Davedough]

I am *almost 100% sure you can't since you'd get non-gift versions.

dream crusher.

 

[R1CHO]

Arkham City, right? Not Arkham Asylum?

Sorry, yeah, City, i am gonna edit that.

 

[AzureSkies]

I won 50% off the FEARCollection, damn it.

 

[Stubo]

I've got a beat hazard complete pack up for trade. A coal?

I'll give you a coal for that

 

[coopolon]

I've got a beat hazard complete pack up for trade. A coal?

This is maybe the best deal of the entire sale. For joining Steam Community Group or checking your inventory you can get an amazing game.

 

[legend166]

One coal?

I'm in.

 

[mrgone]

Aww yeah, coal #8. I'm gonna make me a snow man.

What's the Community group?

 

[Laurentius]

Ugh, I still haven't gotten through most of my backlog from the Summer sale.

Debating Batman today. 50% off is a great deal, but I'm trying to be more frugal...still, $25 is a better deal than I was expecting...considering Monday Night Combat as well.

 

[Chris R]

Yay, 50% off the X Superbox :|

 

[jsrv]

for anyone here interested, not a steam deal, but Amazon currently has digital download of Tropico 4 for 5 bucks.

Do they give a steam code with it, or is it just from your amazon account?

 

[alr1ght]

Yay, 50% off the X Superbox :|

next gen xbox

 

[thundersabre]

What the heck is Bad Rats?

 

[Nabs]

What the heck is Bad Rats?

Oh my.

 

[perryfarrell]

How do those achievements work? Do you get a gift or lump of coal for every X number of achievements?

 

[Davedough]

What the heck is Bad Rats?

It's the sequel to Maladjusted Bed Bugs.

 

[Sanic]

What the heck is Bad Rats?

One of the worst games available on Steam.

 

[coopolon]

What's the Community group?

There's a link on the gift pile giveaway. I just meant either one of those simple tasks would probably net you 1 coal, which you could trade him for beat hazard, which is an amazing game.

 

[masterkajo]

How do those achievements work? Do you get a gift or lump of coal for every X number of achievements?

yes with X=1

 

[Tomodachi]

I'll try converting my first 7 coals to a gift... wish me luck.

 

[thundersabre]

Oh my.

I just got it from completing the psychonauts achievement. I used a save file that I got from the wiki. I guess that's my punishment... It looks like I could have gotten it on my own save file but I had no idea where I was...

 

[Stumpokapow]

Wonder how much HDD space you'd need for every game on Steam.

1600 games * 1 gig (Probably closest to the actual average) = 1600 gigs
1600 games * 5 gigs (DVD4) = 8000 gigs
1600 games * 11 gigs (Seems to be where most big games are) = 17600 gigs
1600 games * 30 gigs (Largest game on Steam) = 48000 gigs

 

[onimushroom]

"Arkham City - not available in your region"? But the DLC is available? What the shit? And I was ready to buy... This is kinda stupid and infuriating.

edit: Fable 3 wasn't/isn't available too, though didn't care enough about that to bitch-whine.

yep, you either get a gift or coal. Get 7 coal and craft into a gift, or keep them for a prize drawing next year.

Tell us how it went pls.

Time to start looking for contests offering multi-TB NAS devices.

Crafted 7 coal after trading Dungeon Defenders for 2 coal. I got a voucher for -33% off the Valve Complete Pack. FML.

Also, what's the difference between light blue and blue vouchers?

Thanks for the tip I completely missed it! More coal yay!

 

[pfkas]

Jumped on Jurassic Park as it's something I've been meaning to get and quite pleased it's come up on a daily. Just going into the settings and changing the screen resolution is a painful experience. It actually re-sizes the screen each time you click the arrow to go up one option. That's about 12 re-sizes in all. And the mouse pointer resets to the middle of the screen each time. How did that get through QA? 'Oh, that'll do'

I think the dark blue is Valve Vouchers, Light Blue is non valve, and gold is usable during the sale.

Okay, screw this, I'm not crafting coal, I'll only trade them.

 

[Large Professor]

I won the complete thing.

 

[Clever Pun]

I think it's actually that darker blue is more valuable than lighter blue. Gold is obviously the highest value.

EDIT: seeing the picture below, looks like my theory was wrong!

 

[Chris R]

next gen xbox

I wish.

 

[Tomodachi]

I traded my 7 coals for a gift.

FUUUUUUUUUUU-

 

[jessecuster]

My last 4 achievements, 4 coal.

 

[Darkhadou]

Nein!

 

[Danj]

I think the dark blue is Valve Vouchers, Light Blue is non valve, and gold is usable during the sale.

Here's my theory: dark blue is specific games, light blue is publishers/bundles.

 

[TrumanBurbank]

Nein!

Wow. Great haul you got there.

 

[Da DreadLord]

Still got Disciples II Gold

come on people, you know you want it.. make an offer
