I got Dota 2, and that train game if anyone wants that.

EDIT: I mean if you want the train game, not Dota 2.

 

[ClovingWestbrook]

This is going to sound dumb but how do you trade a coupon? Do you have to do it within the Steam application or can you do it if you're logged in from the web?

 

[Gravijah]

sweet i won something. killing floor.

 

[goober]

I am, but inventories have to be back up to do that stuff. There is someone else I was talking to about it who had 2 copies. I may just deal with them later today rather than with a new group.

Alright, please keep me updated. Don't forget me please!

 

[SteveWinwood]

Is AVP really that bad?

I fucking love the Aliens universe and to get it for just $4...

What I want to know.

 

[Stumpokapow]

Waitaminute... Tappet isn't holding a [candy] cane... That's a crowbar!

solid gold baby, tappet is a hustla.

actually in the picture it looks like he's going to hit cyl with it. which would be pretty understandable, cyl can be a bit of a jerk sometimes, but still doesn't seem in sync with tappet's personality generally.

 

[Corky]

Got my 4th 25% off valve, which together with one 33 and one 50 nets me a nice 6 valve coupons....

[REV 09]

you can get saints row 3 for $20 on greenmangaming if you use this coupon "FIFTY-SAINT-XMASS"

http://www.greenmangaming.com/games/action/saints-row-the-third/

bought. had a $10 credit too, so the game was only $10...good enough for me.

I'll have Train game if it's going Kind Sir.

 

[Lothars]

For the $3 you would be paying for it, it is plenty.

Someone mentioned the NE Corridor add-on and now I am thinking about it. I can now simulate the commute I took from Philly to NYC. Fuuuuuuuuuuuu

Anyone know more about Saints Row 3 on THQ's website? I still see it at $50 and someone mentioned $20.

http://store.thq.com/store/thq/en_GB/pd/productID.233244200
It's on the British Store, So it's 23 bucks with the season pass included.

 

[Roybr]

Football Manager 2012 IS steamworks, and its 50% in amazon, hurry up and go buy - $19,90

 

[Dynoro]

Greed Corp achievement broken? I did it two times now...

Just did it 1 minute ago - make sure the map is snowy and you win and survive with your character (not an ally)

[StuBurns]

What do you want for the train game?

I don't want anything, but if you have some shitty coupon or unwanted coal you're okay with losing so I can get my trade thing out the way, that'd be good.

I'll have Train game if it's going Kind Sir.

Sorry man, he beat you.

 

[anddo0]

So, at least on Low Settings, will it be possible to run at Medium? Sorry, noob at specs.

It's not a demanding game. I think you can get away with med settings, no AA. I've seen the game run on worse setups.. You'll be fine.

[Binabik15]

Thanks, guys. I GOTS IT! If anyone asks, I live in the Sony London Studio...

This deal totally makes up for importing AA Robin Edition and having to deal with GfWL instead of waiting for a Steam sale.

Bought Mass Effect 2 as a daily and Blur for my brother. Not a bad haul for spending under 30€ including SR3. To think that I almost ordered Resident Evil Revelations for 30 pounds, smh.

Got a lump of coal for joining the group, lol. Maybe someday there'll be a game that I actually own with presents.

Edit: Damn, why won't my key register to Steam? It says purchase not available for this region. Am I fucked? The Genki and the season pass keys could be avtivate, the game key gives me an error. Help.

 

[Davedough]

Spammed trading for 30 minutes straight...... got a lump of coal.

FU Gabe.

 

[1-D_FTW]

I wonder what would happen if both people went into a game with Steam inventory and then tried trading? I bet it would work.

Thanks for answering

 

[anddo0]

I have 4 lumps of coal, %33 of Valve and %50 off Max Payne.

Going for the EYE achievement in a few.

 

[BertleTheTurtle]

I managed to get the trading achievement done and got Demolition Inc.

Which I already own but it's better than most coupons.

 

[LiquidMetal14]

Bit on SR3 on GMG for 20. Couldn't pass that up since it's Steinworks.

 

[BioHazard]

Anyone want to trade a coal for either Beat Hazard Complete or The Witcher?

Add me: http://steamcommunity.com/id/BioHazard54/

EDIT: Gone!

 

[s7evn]

I have to wonder if valve creates these promotional achievements to stress test their servers...

 

[klez]

So, anyone setting up an eye 4 pack? I can host one. pm me.

[Revoh]

It's a beautiful game so no worries. My advice to you would be to play it in little bits -- when you want to relax for an hour or two, fly across an island, jump off mountains, jump a boat out of the water, blow up lots of objectives.

There are TONS of things to blow up so if you tried to 100% the game all at once you might get bored. Just pace yourself and have fun.

I'll keep that in mind.

Pro tip to enjoy this game the most:
Just...let...go

This is the essense of sandbox, you are completely FREE (once you get past the tutorial which takes like 15 mins).
No islands to unlock no nothing, just go wherever.
Don't chase no carrots, don't try to complete everything at every spot.
Just do whatever you want, no matter where you end up there will be something to explore or do or blow up.
When you want some direction do a story mission.

PLAY ON NORMAL OR EASY, cops will chase you like mad and this really isn't one of those games where you need to make it hard on yourself by relentless cop chases, you'll enjoy it much more on normal.

Also : turn vsync off and tweak your settings until you don't drop under 45 fps anymore and average 50+.
People complain about input lag (I hate input lag it ruins any game for me) , they'll describe it as floaty controls.
Just make sure your framerate is good and that vsync is off and it will control very well and not be floaty.

Thanks for the tips.

Damage my wallet has taken so far:

Just Cause 2: $2.49
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light: $2.49
Renegade Ops: $2.99
Bastion (which I traded it to a GAFer for Portal 2): $10.04
Total: $18.01

From a video guide to the Audiosurf achievement:

"I just finished this achievement. My gift? 50% off Audiosurf =/"

lol, Valve, oh you

[Petrie]

[Brandon F]

-Rage
-Metro 2033

[tjohn86]

lol, Valve, oh you

I guess (hope) that the coupons will be worked out if Valve do future promotions like this, so that stuff like this can't happen. I know the coupons are free, but they should still really be limited to games you don't own.

 

[Blizzard]

You guys, I'm seeing all sorts of people pondering EYE 4-packs, and very few impressions about the game itself. I saw the official thread popup, but it didn't seem to have many impressions on the last page, and instead had like 4 different banned people.

1. If I buy game does that mean I get banned on GAF? D:
2. How awesome is game?

 

[goober]

So guys here's what Amazon is going to be selling tomorrow.

Borderlands a Steamworks game?

 

[898]

Just purchased an EYE 4-pack. Anyone who wants in add me pjh898
