Gravity is a myth, the Earth SUCKS!
What's the buzz about the game of thrones game on daily deal today? I love the universe but I don't know anything about the game or how well it's been received.

I have Shadowgrounds Survivor + Shawdowgrounds, also a copy of Half Life 2. Anyone want to trade something for them?
I am looking for Crysis.

Is it just me or has the market for coal totally bottomed out? I guess all the shit coupons earned from 7 coals have devalued them. Too bad.

God damn you, Valve.

You made me install Rusty Heart just to get that achievement. Now I can't stop playing.

Me. Someone that normally can't stand MMORPGs... actually getting addicted to one.

Fuck.

I have TwoWorlds 2 to trade for 10 coals. And yep, I may have a gambling problem.

Crafted the game after I crafted the coupon. Oh dear god.

I will take you up on this if it's still available (though it looks like Xclash has probably claimed it). Please PM me if it is, I have exactly 10 coal!

Rusty Hearts is a chill game. Solid combat system, nice art design, doesn't beat you over the head about buying ugly clothes or weapons.

for the people who bought Earth Defence Force: Insect Armageddon, there is a 60fps fix which removes the 30fps cap.

i tried it out and its ...soooo good. game is 100% better now.
I've heard reasonable things about the console EDF... flawed gem, etc. Is this a port or a sequel and is it anything like the 360 one?

(anyone can chime in here... I'll look it up as well, but I prefer gamer's opinions, not reviews)

It seems like a well made game but I found it to be a little too grindy. I found myself constantly mashing the X button and occasional backrolling when I needed to, not very fun imo.

Think of it this way; At the beginning of the sale there were fewer achievements and more allure in having the chance to craft a valuable game. This made coal a pretty reasonable currency. As the sale gets closer to the end though, people are realizing that games, even junky ones, will still have value after the sale concludes. Coal will not (presumably).

Heh, so true, and this is why no one wants my coal in the trade thread. At least I got to trade coal for a good game (Jamestown) before the market crashed. It's pretty remarkable that coupons still manage to rank far below coal, though, they're just that useless. I wish they could be deleted so I wouldn't have to look at that Kane and Lynch 2 coupon every time I check my inventory.

don't ask me for codes
That and getting B on that level.

I got an SS with the pistol girl the first time. The guides seem to recommend the close combat dude, but I think people get hit too often with him. With the pistol girl I just shoot everybody from a distance without getting hit. Sometimes I need to dodge whatever an archer is shooting at me, but I found that they don't shoot often anyway.
 
Steam needs to provide a way to get rid of obsolete games. I would consider getting AaaaAaaaa for the awesome, since it´s the upgraded version of the game I already own, but then the original game would just sit there in the library.

I'd take just being able to get rid of them, period.

This would be nice, for sure, but in the meantime it's a simple thing to create a category for such games.

Uh!? Out of nowhere 2 copies of The Ship appeared in my inventory. Is this some kind of campaign to make the game playable?
edit: Apparently it is.

Cave story + achievement seems to be in, required me to just launch the game to get it. Also damn my bad luck, I don't want -25% off from codemasters titles >.<.
