Took me exactly 59 minutes from purchase to achievement obtained. Don't know if that counts as easy or not. I guess its kindof a long time to spend straight on a game like that, but listening to the TWIT Christmas special while doing it made the time fly by (no pun intended).
Yeah I hated that game too. Once I got the gift I promptly uninstalled it FOREVER.

Hey look at it this way: At least the game didn't crash on you upon reaching the girl.

People hate Flight Control?
Man, how sad for them.
Hah. That was a mistake, you know that right? They said so on the twitter-thing. It's supposed to be The Kid's Xmas. It'll probably be fixed tomorrow. I still plan to get Golden Gift at some point but I'm not gonna stress over it now. U:

In other words - "We cant change now, or at least don´t want to because of the effort. "
How about a simple "sorry for the mistake" from you Valve? I can always accept mistakes, but I want expanations and not PR damage control when it happens.
And then they post that video, "Hey, it´s this easy!"
Not for a piece of coal or coupon.............

I was hoping that, for the effort, the frequency of good gifts would be higher for the Golden Gift achievement.
But nope! Coal.
But nope! Coal.

Spent 30 minutes trying to get the Bit.Trip.Runner achievement and got Rock of Ages.
I'm happy after a bunch of ususeless coupons and Vegas make it big which I didn't care about finally got something good
I picked that game up this sale and thought it was pretty cool.
You may be waiting a while for that. How many Capcom games have you seen on sale?

Dead Rising: OTR is half-off even if it's not a daily deal.
If you don't own DR2 and want to, that's not a bad deal.

That's one that I'm checking out in case Batman isn't in the recap. Does OTR have time limits like DR2? I hate time limits, but I love photography, so that is why I'm thinking of that one.

Yeah, I'm actually getting vanilla DR2. Just waiting for the last day, just in case.
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
I have so many coupons =/
Trine is a really good result.
edit: oh wait, I'm thinking of Trine 2 lol, that would be great.

it also turns out that it was one of the most unlocked holiday achievements of the day.. so you guys are totally nuts...
sure

You know, I think for all the coupon sadness, most people by this point have at least gotten a game or two, and hopefully were able to trade it for something beneficial. I got Portal 2 from a coal crafting, and was able to trade up to a Bastion soundtrack with some random coal and coupons. I'm happy!
Yeah, now tell me how many is actually legit.

I remembered this post from yesterday, and.. I kind of have to agree! Maybe I'll play this some more at some point.
Also, the CrimeCraft acheivement gave me Napoleon: Total War! I was always interested in the series so this is awesome!
what? Is there a save file or some exploit I didn't hear about? I'd love to get that achievement without actually suffering through it lol
They are trainers. And the alt glitch. Though that one doesn't work flawlessly.

Question about SpaceChem:
Is there a way to retry a level without deleting (and in the process losing) your previous solution?
P.S: The game is AWESOME.
EDIT: Seems like the answer is no..

It's funny, I went into this sale with a "no-doubledip" rule, and have just now picked up Deus Ex + DLC, as well as having picked up Batman: AC on Gamersgate earlier this week.
Putting it in perspective, though, The Missing Link alone on the 360 would have cost me £10, the price of the whole game on sale, and I've spent just over £50 over the last two weeks on sales, where I would have spent three times as much getting a similar haul on console games.

I'm tempted but I read it gets pretty damn hard,pretty dam fast but still,at that price I think I will get it.
How about the Puzzle Agent game? point and click stuff? any good?
More like a Professor Layton game; puzzles with some story in between them.

GetGames is a shitty page.
So I went created an account to get Mafia 2, since it was cheaper than Steam, and now they won't allow me to use PayPal as a payment option?
Why they didn't say anything on the game page? why is PayPal on their payment options when you can't use it anyway?
Fuck this page, I'm not giving them my CC info.

I just crafted a B.M.O.C...
I heard that it's valuable? How much exactly and where can I trade it? The last time I really played TF2 was YEARS ago, so I don't really get the whole economy sourrounding it.

Anybody want to get a L4D2 game going to get the present achievement?

It's really easy to get just playing normal. Hop onto a random match and you should be able to snag 3 gifts the very first time you play a stage as survivors.
Drop rates are quick, and since it takes 5 minutes to get 3, most people will already have them and not even care about getting them.
You can also just type "map c1m2_streets versus" in the console and play by yourself. Alot of special infected spawn right outside the safehouse. After a few minutes the game ends saying there needs to be human players but you can just keep doing it till you get 3 presents.
cheaters win with SMB trainer.

L4D2 is easy. You can do it alone or with one friend. Just start a No Mercy versus match, friends-only, go down the stairs so the Special Infected can spawn, then just go back up or stay down in the area. The SI will be bots. Easy.

Indeed, I jumped into a random game and got it rather easily.
