Got 40 coal at the moment, should I stick with them or would I be better off to just craft them, if I'm even able to at this point that is

I wonder what will happen to the servers...

 

[Creamium]

What turned out to be a great impulse buy for me was Aliens vs. Predator. The 3 campaigns range from decent to great. Now playing the Predator part and it's the best yet. For €5 it was most definitely worth it.

coal, so much coal

I think I'm set for the winter. The only things I regret buying are Universe Sandbox (it's completely unstable) and Windosill (I was seduced by the front page post on tigsource)

 

[Creamium]

new AVP or old AVP?

New. Haven't played the old one.

 

[Artofwar420]

Coal still shows up in my inventory. I tried to craft, but it says to try again later. Maybe they're all locked in already.

 

[Addnan]

Didn't have much money to spend this sale, so only picked up a few games.

Bought
Terraria: £1.49
Fallout: New Vegas: £3.74 (?)
Hard Reset: £3.75
Portal 2: £4.99


Gifts <3

Trine


Next year I make sure to have more money.

 

[TerryWogan]

New. Haven't played the old one.

Play it! It's much better than the new one.

 

[StuBurns]

Looking at it, I did buy too much really:

Bought:
HL1 Source - Played it before
Humble Indie Bundle 4 - Some good stuff for sure
Defense Grid - Maybe the best tower defense game I've played
Polynominal - Awful
Aaaaaaaa! Awesome - Pretty cool
Limbo - Played before
EYE - Interesting, but not great
Hard Reset - Played before
Toki Tori - Meh
Fate of the World - Not really played it
Edge - Really good
Rock of Ages - Lame
Bastion - Amazing
PoP'08 - Played before
Anomaly: Warzone Earth - Seems cool
Tomb Raider Anny - Played before
SPAZ - Gash
Quake 3 - Played before
Xotic - Very cool
Defcon - Not really played
Universe Sandbox - Meh
GTA Complete Pack - Played them all before, but £5? Incredible
Winterbottom - Not played it yet

Won:
Dota 2 - Hell yeah
Train Sim '12 - Gave away
The Witcher - Looking forward to it
Left 4 Dead - Gave away

Not a bad sale for me, but I did buy a few things I really shouldn't have, because they're crap.

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

So the coupons do not stack...

While they don't stack in the sense of, say, making a 50% off sale with a 50% off coupon making a free game, they can be added on top of a sale price.

Ex: Airline Tycoon 2 is 66% off right now, moving it from $29.99 to $10.20. The coupon in my inventory is automatically applied when I go to my cart, knocking it down again from $10.20 to $5.10.


I am very glad that this works this way; at least the coupons are not completely useless!

...though I don't know what I'm going to do with 8 Valve coupons of varying discounts, seeing as I own every Valve game already, lol.

 

[Snkfanatic]

My damage

Bought:

Anomaly Warzone
Assassins Creed Brotherhood
Assassins Creed Revelations
Bulletstorm
LA Noire
Test Drive Unlimited 2

Won:
Hard Reset

Not bad, I was going to wait on Revelations but I am looking forward to a binge on two AC games I haven't played.

 

[Mihos]

My coal just disappeared, I kinda miss it now!

 

[Dog Problems]

All I bought during that sale was some DLC. I'm happy I was able to control my spending, haha.

I don't believe you're gonna get to free with coupons. It's more like 50% of the 50%.

 

[Zero-Crescent]

Hm, my coal disappeared. Guess they're doing the contest drawing now.

 

[nilbog21]

Well, it's finally over. I bought:

Hard Risen
Bulletstorm

Both of which are awesome, I also got a coal in the process D:

 

[Mikeside]

My coal just disappeared, I kinda miss it now!

first my potatoes went away, now my coal.

Give it back, Gabe

 

[DyslexicAlucard]

That's what I just said, haha.

 

[Chavelo]

I think I have a problem...

 

[Tomodachi]

Goodbye coal, it was fun.

 

[opticalmace]

Bought... nothing. Go figure.

 

[Arukado]

There was one coal here. Is gone now.

Bought:
Alien Vs Predator
Quake 4
Grid

Won:
Train Simulator 2012 ¬¬
Saw
Steel Storm: Burning Retribution

Gifts:
Sequence
Killing Floor Christmas Character Pack DLC
Killing Floor - Steampunk Mr. Froster DLC

 

[MisterLuffy]

I bought SSF4AE, GTA Complete Pack, and Counter Strike Anthology.

 

[McNum]

I had two games I hoped got a good price. Arkham City and Shogun 2 and a &#8364;50 budget. I got lucky.

I bought:
- Bastion
- Batman: Arkham City
- Beat Hazard Complete
- Jamestown
- Total War SHOGUN 2
+ Shogun 2 DLC

I'm happy with that. I got a decent haul, but not a haul so big I don't get to play half of it. Like last sale. I didn't win anything, it seems. I didn't chase the achievements that much, though.

 

[Remfin]

They aren't doing the drawing until at least the 9th, I think you can all stop freaking out about it

 

[schwall20]

I know I know what you're all going to say, but I couldnt help it. I got Duke Nukem from Amazon for 5.99 minus the 5 dollar promo code, I got it for 1.08. I'm sure it's worth 1$ right? Haha

 

[Akia]

Holiday coal is the best coal

 

[gotee12]

I'm starting to regret not having bought Batman: AC. It'll probably be a while before it hits the $25 price range again...

 

[Mikeside]

...yeah about that...


it's OK though - you can pick up Serious Sam 1/2 HD for cheap when you realize your mistake

 

[cartman414]

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU--------------

Totally forgot that last binge of buying deep discounted indies that didn't have daily specials during the week. Someone remind me what I missed.

 

[Soi-Fong]

Considering this was my first ever Steam sale, I'd say the damage done isn't bad at all..

 

[xelios]

I like how Steam turned into a meta-game itself. (Coal, Coupons, Gifts)

I had fun.

Eh, a dollars is about right. I'm gonna do that myself, I'll think of it as an educational/historical experience.

Wish I could but those are licenses and subscriptions on my own account. :x

Though many of them were gifts or trades.

Welp.

Thanks for making me feel better about spending ~170 (including tax for living in Washington.)

It would be kind of hilarious if you won all the games now.

Do you think if you change your address you'd not get the tax? I've been wondering about that, but I don't want to do anything shady. My way of reconciling this is thinking that I'm helping the economy/HL2 Ep 3.

[xelios]

Good god. Total spent?

A little over $400 on myself.

What I used to spend on what was comparatively a handful of console/handheld games.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

Almost made it to 50.

Was fun while it lasted.
