Finally got Crimecraft to run. Took 3 matches to get the achievement. I have to say... I find it absolutely fucking incredible that they actually wanted to charge money for this garbage game at some point.

Money up front AND a subscription fee.

11 Coal, 25% off Arkham City, and 50% off Audiosurf :|

Haven't crafted any coal yet. Don't think I will with the horror stories I've read so far.
Dont craft, trade them to gaffers in the trade thread. Ive gotten Fallout Collection and Mafia 1 for my coals.

Some guy wanted 3 for the Dreamfall pack.

I could not get Crimecraft off my computer fast enough. It is rare for me to detest a game that much. I never saw my achievement pop up, but I was beyond caring. Fortunately, I got lucky and the achievement had been counted after I logged off. A wretched, horrible game. Alas, I didn't even get a piece of coal for it, just a coupon for -50% Blocks That Matter (whatever that is). I consider the true prize being that I never have to play that game again.

Dear God I just finished my first and only Rise of the Immortals match. There are people that find this fun? Seriously? I did a PvE with 2 other noobs and I swear it took us an hour to finish the match. Maybe less than an hour. Maybe more. It felt like an eternity. No wonder they're immortal characters. Naturally as a result of the achievement I got another lump of coal. Merry Christmas to you as well, SteamSanta... Now on to Crimecraft!

Is Hard Reset worth it at 5 bucks? I was heavily considering getting it when I first heard about it, then lost interest. Now that it's on sale I'm getting tempted again.

1 round of crimecraft and got like 230 points for that stupid game, I won.

I wanted to give the game a fair shake so I also played a match of the regular game, spammed melee and routed that match. smh

Now Unistalling and getting my 5gb back.

I've read nothing but positive things about it here. The only potential issue is they're releasing an extended edition in a few months, which may be standalone or may be DLC. I'm not sure. That's holding me back although I suspect I will cave before the night is over.

Give the demo a shot if you're on the fence. I think it's pretty awesome! It's Painkiller but you're fighting crime in a future time instead of working off your porn viewing for god by staking zombies in hell

I have no idea when Sequence's achievement will be an objective

But I totally hacked it to give all GAF members DOTA2

You're welcome

I figure I'll probably get a 25% off Sequence coupon for the Sequence achievement.
Someone asked if he could trade two 50% off Sequence coupons for a copy of Sequence. I thought he just wanted another copy of Sequence, so I just gifted him one, but it turns out he really just wanted to get rid of the coupons.

He left unsatisfied.

Really nice of you to give him a copy though!

Hey since we're all talking about Sequence now I just wanted to say you've created a really nice game Feep and you're super awesome for giving it away. Already bought two copies for friends.

Agreed, it's a really cool game and idea. Like the writing too. I'm just too terrible at it to get very far :(.

Are you on easy? Remember, you can change the difficulty right in the Safe Room to make it easier for you. = D

:X. Pretty sure I was playing on easy. Does Sequence use Cloud? If so, I'll give it another try today. If not, I'll give it a try in January.

It does! Hooray, cloud!

On easy, on the first and second floors, it's rare that an enemy even throws enough arrows at you to kill you. Just focus on casting spells, and staying in the spell (green) field to make sure they go off without a hitch. Switch to blue only when you need to refill.

You'll get the hang of it soon = D

Oh my God. I decided to buy Hard Reset because I can't resist anything with a cyberpunk theme and got the Winter sale achievement while playing it. My reward? Supreme Ruler: Cold War. An impenetrably complex Paradox strategy game according to the reviews I just read. Just what I never wanted! But it's a game! Finally after days of nothing but coal and coupons I finally got a game! It's a Festivus miracle!

I want Supreme Ruler: Cold War so much. Shame you already seem to have unpacked it :(.

The Renegade Ops dilemma is very unfortunate for me.

I just bought a 4-pack, because I want to try it with some friends (3) at a LAN - And of course it wouldn't hurt to get the christmas achievement while I'm at it.

Turns out everyone gets the DLC except the buyer of the 4-pack. Now I have 3 copies with DLC sitting in my inventory, waiting to be unpacked. If I unpack one to get the DLC, there will be one person without the game at the LAN - If I don't I'll miss my chance to get a 33% Renegade Ops Coupon. What to do, What to do...

I'm very happy so far with my gifts! I just was given a copy of the Witcher 2 for one of today's objectives! That's on top of the DOTA2 key I got earlier in the sale.

Any UK dweller able to send me a copy of Skyrim for £23.44? I can reimburse via PayPal. Local 'deal' is nearly double that.

Question: I have bit trip runner and i saw in the wiki there is 2 achievement for this game. Can i do all of them and get 2 gift or its only 1 per game ?

There are three, actually. Not sure on whether that means three gifts, but I think it does.

It needs to be displayed in the storefront. Bit Trip Runner still hasn't, and usually it's 1 gift per achievement. There hasn't been any games with two achievements featured, just one.

Heads up to anyone in the Super MNC beta, they've thrown some uber points in your account.

Yea I think it's highly unlikely that any game will have multiple achievements.
There's several games that have multiple holiday achievements, just none that have had more than one achievement be featured. Seems like games they'd refeature later on in the sale along with their other achievements.

Should I get Skyrim now or wait? (I won't play it for a month or two)
Waiting is always the correct answer to this question. If you're not going to play it right now why buy it when you know it's going to be on sale at a better price later? (Having said that I'm guilty of it as well.)
