So, how many objectives has everyone actually done so far? 34 for me:
26, but pretty much only have gotten crap. Left 4 Dead 2 was the only game I received but already received it, so traded it for more coal.

30 - 25 coals, 10% Valve, 33% Ubisoft, 50% Trainz Simulator 12, Alien Breed and Shadowground.
Can it suck more?!

30 So far. First achievement other than the signing up 33% off a value and a lump of coal was a game, other than that it's been 25 coal and four vouchers. I crafted 3 lots of 7 coal and got three more vouchers, two for games I already own.
33% off valve
25% off sega
50% Virtuatennis 4 (Will never ever use)
50% shadowgrounds pack (have)
50% Osmos
50% Trauma (Have)
50% GTA SA (Might Keep)
50% Universal Sandbox (Will probably be $2.50 in the next couple of days anyway)
If anyone desperately wants one or wants to trade for something feel free to pm me. That reminds me I still have to do the whole trade achievement thing, so if anyone wants to help out it would be greatly appreciated.

Super weird. It's like an FPS, only the shooting is really bad and the enemies are braindead bullet expelling machines, but there's a weird kind of platforming / score attack element to it where you need to keep shooting orbs on the floor, walls, or ceilings to get a combo chain going and using really weird platforming mechanics to get tokens in the air. I can't say that it's good, but it's definitely different and I don't regret buying it.

So do you guys recommend me to get both total war (medieval II and Shogun II)?

42 here. Cheesed a few by using save files but I've still ended up playing 44 different games since last Sunday when the sale was just about to start.
29 Objectives, 6 games (gifted half of those), 18 coal and some coupons
dave is ok
aztek is ok
I've seen a lot of Reddit love for your game the past few days. Word of mouth seems to be spreading over there
Try not to get hit by anything during cave 1&2 including the boss, this increases the chance of the demon door appearing. He'll sometimes spawn inside of the demon door and for every time he doesn't the chance to see him next time will increase. Roll them dice.
It appears in the boss room after you beat a boss. People say that beating the boss without getting hit makes it more likely that the room will appear, but I'm not certain whether or not that's true. When that room appears you have a 10% chance of fighting Krampus, which makes it a chair-tossingly annoying thing when Krampus kills you.

That´s a lot of achievements for some people here. You didn´t buy games just for the achievements did you?
So can you get to Krampus from the 1st or 2nd floor? I'm too terrible at this game to get past the 2nd floor.
I think you can get him after any boss, it's just that the likelyhood of actually getting him at all is pretty slim. Apparently the odds get better if you get Satan's room once without Krampus, then get it again on a later level, increasing from 10% to 50% then to 85%. But I don't have a clue how people actually get to see that room so many times in a single playthrough.
Of course they did. Tons of people do that.
26 objectives so far, from the games I have, I still need to get the ones from:
- Rusty Hearts
- Champions Online
- Rise of the Immortals
- Rock of Ages
- Renegade ops
Got lucky by getting a couple of games, a couple of coupons and then coal, which I already traded for some of the games from my wishlist.
Is today the last day for new deals?

Yeah, of course I know people do that, but it´s just so silly.
The chance to actually win something of worth is so slim. And to win something you actually want......
Here's what I did. Try your best to clear caves 1&2 without getting hit, once you beat the boss of caves 2 reset if no demon door appears and if one did but you didn't find the boss in it just reset anyway. Took me 15 minutes this way.

The game is far from perfect but it has an addictive quality to it. It's pretty easy to play but the fun is in mastering a level for a high score. I definitely think it's well worth $2.50

Quake Mission Pack 1 refuses to install
Why exactly? Is it because Quake is still installing? Mission Pack 2 seemed to go in just fine though.

The trick is not to buy the games for achievements, but to buy them because they're awesome and 75% off. Almost no one who buys all the indie titles "for the achievements" actually gets ripped off, because by and large they're quite high quality!
Nah, only Orks Must Die and one other game. But Orks was completely worth it, damn good game.

Very true statement. I have 39 objectives complete and didn't buy a single game I felt was not worth the money or I wasn't interested in.

check your TF2 backpack for either a Santa Hat a Scrooge Hat or a Gift Box Hat

yea, for some reason Valve randomly added 3 TF2 hats as possible prizes yesterday. The Santa Hat is the most common, then a Scrooge stovepipe hat, and then the gift box hat is the rarest hat prize.
Kind of lame, especially for people who don't play TF2

Achievements/Trophies isn't my thing and I don't have alot of free time to hunt for the steam objectives but I found Santa relative easy. It's on the
first level on the new campaign

will gently cradle you as time slowly ticks away.
Hold up... 50% off Sega games coupon?! It's times like this I lament that Football Manager's not available in my locale. If it's even valid for the coupon that is.
Weird, I noticed my TF2 inventory has more stuff in it. 2 pages instead of 1.
EDIT: Weirder, now it's gone back to 25 items. Wonder why I temporarily had 40 items listed.
One item was "Cheater's Lament - Though some would stop at nothing to achieve hats, you remained resolute and incorruptible in your quest for head decorations. For that, you have been rewarded.", and
"The Baseline Benefactor's Spirit Of Giving - The more gifts you give away, the bigger your heart will get! Get what gift-givers call "the Smissmass spirit," and what cardiologists call hypertrophic cardiomyopathy."
