I feel dirty. It's the first time I wasted significant $$ on horse armor type DLC (Dawn of War II). I was tempted to buy the SPECTACT skins for Bad Company 2 when that came out but I resisted.
 
No one was biting for coal-for-PoP '08 in the trade thread, so I said "Fuck it," and crafted twice. Got a 50% coupon for something and...

Was surprised!

I have a copy of the Ship for trade
And yes, so long as people keep activating their given copy of The Ship, it will generate one copy to pass along. Or so the website of the new devhouse said
Anyone have anything to say about Hacker Evolution: Untold? Just picked it up as a gift for doing the Beat Hazard achievement.
 
I feel like, so far, the Humble Indie Bundle 4 stole the spotlight from the Steam Sale. I often find myself saying "wow that's a great price but I already got that now! yay me"

I'll trade you some useless coupons and/or coal for it!

All this talk of the Ship's new owners made me check into it; seems they actually have plans to support it! Sorry if it's been covered already, but if anyone's interested here's a link: http://blazinggriffin.com/2011/11/blazing-griffin-buys-ship-sets-sail. And count me in if a GAF game gets going.

i've had this problem too, either open it or give it to someone

So does crafting coals usually get you better coupons / games?

i've never gotten anything good off crafting coals, so i doubt it

Thank you GAF for recommending Sonic Generations.

WORTH. EVERY. PENNY.

Seriously the best Sonic game since Sonic Adventure. Everything else is half assed.

so one copy of The Ship could turn into infinite copies as long as it's passed around?

No it doesn't work like that. One bought copy will spawn 4 gift copies. 2 for the person who bought it, and then each of the people that person gifts to will each get one gift copy. That's it.
 
I seem to have two copies of the Ship Gift in my inventory. Is that normal? I've had the game for years but it's been so dead I haven't played in a long time.

So does crafting coals usually get you better coupons / games than the achievements?

Well .. it will NOT give you coal =P

Everything else is the same

i've had this problem too, either open it or give it to someone

But i want to trade it =(

you can still trade it, you just have to find someone who is willing to trade games through gifting them.

Yes. New devs bought the game and to kickstart the community they gave gift copies to everyone who had previously bought the game.

Yes. The new devs want to get interest in the game up again and are gifting two copies to current owners of the game, which will in turn give one gift copy if that gift is activated and so on.

Man this DOW2 Retribution achievement is so lame. Idling for 30 minutes in multiplayer? Isn't the point of these achievements to entice players to give your game a try? Sure, you could play a proper match if you wanted but in that case you'd already be doing that anyway. What good does it really do to get new players in matches to idle for 30 minutes chatting and then never bothering with that mode again? They could have done something in singleplayer or the Last Stand instead. It just seems so lazy on Relic's part to set a timer and give you an achievement when it goes off. (Of course it doesn't help that I've never liked DOW2's multiplayer to begin with.)

I am willing to take Hawx 2 off your hands.

Might be mixing it up since the summer retribution achievement was SP/Last Stand like you suggested.

lemme know if you need help getting the Deluxe Version

think i'll miss Retributions today.

Aaaaa is insanely difficult

It's so weird to hear this. Normally I'm mediocre at games, but I am apparently pretty good at Aaaa. Found this sale's achievement a cakewalk.

Sorry guys. Here's a better look. As I said, Terraria isn't for trade.

Terraria and the Steam gift are not for trade though. The rest are.
