You've already sent all of those copies of BI, correct? My inventory is the same way, still showing the gifts i've sent out. I'm sure it'll be corrected soon enough.

yeah they have all been gifted, not sure about the rest came from :|

 

[wilflare]

i want to get the cheevos
come on twotribes daily deal!

 

[1-D_FTW]

You can force the glitch by downloading TCPView from Microsoft. Start the Christmas station and then close the connection to the bottom 2 Beat Hazard entries.

That's terrible.

Thanks!

I'm officially on board with this promotion now. Full steam ahead, by any means necessary.*

*Within limits, of course.

 

[Clever Pun]

Faeire Solitaire is $1.00 right now: http://store.steampowered.com/app/38600

I grabbed this for $1.74 during a previous sale and I have since played it for about 12 hours. There is a silly story, but also powerups you can buy as you progress as well as steam achievements. It's a great casual card game, and everyone should pick it up for that price. Just add it to whatever you buy next, you won't regret it.

The best you cnad do is to give them to some people...

like the one that quotes you and give you their steam account

[Fularu]

They have to flag your account to allow international purchases or whatever. It's 8:15 AM there now, but you might want to see if someone can get the games you want and you pay them back.

All I want is "Bunch of heroes"...

Well I guess my wallet will be safe during this holiday sale.

 

[Wag]

Someone want to throw me a coup?

Singularity looks like a decent enough deal. Is it worth $7.50? I'm considering waiting for it to hit $5.

They're ghosts. They're no longer there. They're ex-gifts.

 

[ROBOKITTYZILLA]

Also tried EDGE, which is pretty fun, if very challenging. I can't quite work out the controls though. Playing with a 360 pad, how do I stay on the edge to ride along with a moving platform? I can't seem to consistently do that.

You have to gently hold in the direction of the platform so your block is hanging or leaning against it. If you press too hard you will just flip on or off of the platform. I use Mouse/KB but it should be easier with an analog stick.

 

[syllogism]

They have to do that by law. If they don't it's considered gambling since purchase is technically required to have a chance to win.

I realize that, but it appears to actually be worthwhile in this scenario

 

[Shorty11857]

For those wondering how to check your intevntory in Spiral Knights- just press I. It's called your "arsenal".

What I did:

1. load up Spiral Knights (in fullscreen).
2. Press I to view my arsenal and expanded each tree.
3. When done, log out/ close the game (don't minimise).
4. Refresh your Steam inventory.

I tried this and it didn't work for me, no Spiral Knights in my inventory at all

 

[RoadHazard]

Oh Steam, you so stupid. Now that you finally let me view my inventory you won't let me unpack any gifts. I am disappoint.

Ok, somehow the games have now been added to my library, but they are also still in my inventory. Oh well, guess they'll disappear from there eventually.

Also, I just got a few lovely 503s again. Man, this sale has been an absolute mess server-wise so far.

 

[Remfin]

I realize that, but it appears to actually be worthwhile in this scenario

They've been free to do that for everything Steam has done so far.

Including the one with TF2 hats that people were paying $5/game for things they never wanted to play just to get the daily achievement. $0.44 stamps or $5 games, hmmmm....

 

[Chesskid1]

1 price mistake so far. 4pack of deadisland for $20.xx

let's hope for another one today!!!

t-minus 1 hr 30 min!!! GET HYPE!!

1 purchase so far by me, fable TLC.

 

[SparkTR]

Lost Planet 2 for $10, yay or nay?

EDIT: I'll wait for a daily deal.

 

[Herla]

I did the TF2 "trick" and I still see nothing in my inventory, but I got a Steam popup for the Renegade Ops DLC that said something like "new DLC for your game"...and I don't own Renegade Ops.
Does this mean it's one of the hidden gifts? That would be nice.

 

[Artofwar420]

Edit: Wish Edge was cheaper. It's just at that range that it's not too cheap or expensive. Five bucks seems a bit high for an achievement, anyone REALLY like it?

 

[snoopeasystreet]

It's 5 euro over here. I'm half tempted to pick it up.

edit - I've heard good things but the screenshots on the store page make it look like garbage.

 

[Mrbob]

Gifts still not showing up in my inventory. :/

 

[HTuran]

One purchase so far, Portal 2.

Gifts still not showing up in my inventory. :/

I think that's the case for most people. Kind of wierd that it's taken >24 hours to fix, but then demand must be crazy.

 

[Chavelo]

So, gonna pull the trigger on some of this games...

Max Payne Bundle
Fable TLC

How is the new Sam & Max seasons compared to the old versions of the franchise?

 

[legacyzero]

Lost Planet 2 for $10, yay or nay?

I wouldn't call that a bad price at all. But remember the GOLDEN RULE. Wait for daily deal.

 

[Frank Jaeger]

Lost Planet 2 for $10, yay or nay?

Nay!

 

[rakhir]

So i bought Portal 2 yesterday and gave it to my friend, but i have it still in my inventory.
What's up with that?
Did i end up with two copies because of that server crashes yesterday?

I loved the Sam & Max seasons. I'd say for the price they're worth it without a doubt.

 

[Tenck]

Is the Max Payne games any good? An hour and fifteen minutes to go. Help me out guys!

 

[erpg]

You have to gently hold in the direction of the platform so your block is hanging or leaning against it. If you press too hard you will just flip on or off of the platform. I use Mouse/KB but it should be easier with an analog stick.

I find EDGE to be easiest with a NUMPAD.

Yes.

 

[MatthewB92]

I've only played a little of Max Payne 1 but yes get it.

Inventories still seem kind of broken. Mine at least started working again (it was completely dead earlier), but the gifts I've unpacked are still there (and in my games library). I think inventories just aren't updating properly, so they will keep showing gifts that aren't really there anymore. You most likely won't be able to gift the game again.

 

[SteveWinwood]

Is the Max Payne games any good? An hour and fifteen minutes to go. Help me out guys!

Are.

Yes.

 

[Tenck]

The Max Payne pack it is then!

 

[Artofwar420]

Is the Max Payne games any good? An hour and fifteen minutes to go. Help me out guys!

Absolutely, actually I just played them about a year ago after a sale like this. Even the first one, which is getting up there in age looks alright. The second one looks specially good for its age.

But looks are not all, the gameplay and story are where the games shine. They got an awesome brand of humor only since seen in Alan Wake (same dudes). Bullet time all the way. /sleepdeprived

 

[SpiderJerusalem]

I opened inventory and it gave me some game called Avadon

 

[Ataturk]

Is the Max Payne games any good? An hour and fifteen minutes to go. Help me out guys!

Yes, and short. No brainer.

 

[Tenck]

Gabe doesn't like money. Not letting me buy it since Steam is getting hammered right now.

That price is worth it for Season 3 alone, which IMO is the best season but Season 1 and 2 are still amazing as well.

 

[X05]

So, my inventory disappeared...

 

[Corto]

Using the mouse on this must be really frustrating, I can't imagine trying to use the Move. It was made with touchscreen in mind, and that's still the optimum way to play it.

It works flawlessly with the Move. I prefer it to touch control on my iPhone as my finger is not in front of the screen. It's my go-to game on iPhone though...

 

[MRORANGE]

Bunch of Hero's just got a update.

 

[rakhir]

I think inventories just aren't updating properly, so they will keep showing gifts that aren't really there anymore. You most likely won't be able to gift the game again.

I suspected something like that...

Let's see if the game stays there for ever.

 

[scy]

I kept reading bad things about Bunch of Heroes. But, at the same time, $2.49 is definitely in the "why not" price range :/

 

[Snkfanatic]

The Max Payne pack it is then!

I loved both of those games, replayed them both multiple times too.

 

[StuBurns]

I just got a few of those achievements, but I can't get the audiosurf one to work, for shame. Any very clear things I could be fucking up?

 

[Tenck]

Bunch of Hero's just got a update.

Yeah they were going to fix the cheevo.

Anyone want to try it again?

 

[Petrie]

I just got a few of those achievements, but I can't get the audiosurf one to work, for shame. Any very clear things I could be fucking up?

I had to get the red white red white red in the middle, with no other blocks on the left or right sides.

Yeah they were going to fix the cheevo.

Anyone want to try it again?

I'm down. Steam ID: PetriesLastWord

 

[snoopeasystreet]

I just got a few of those achievements, but I can't get the audiosurf one to work, for shame. Any very clear things I could be fucking up?

The pattern is red white red white red. I don't think it pops if it's white red white red white.

 

[Rocket Scientist]

Are the servers going to crash once the new sale kicks in again?

 

[RoadHazard]

So, that Max Payne bundle... €3.74. I've played both of them, but I don't own copies of them myself. Tempted.

Are the servers going to crash once the new sale kicks in again?

Of course.

Season 3>Season 2> Season 1
Only bad thing about S3 is that they use the mouse to simulate an analog stick.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

I just got a few of those achievements, but I can't get the audiosurf one to work, for shame. Any very clear things I could be fucking up?

I got it yesterday. Played on normal with the pusher ship. The achievement didn't pop-up but when I minimized the game it was there.
