Anyone knows a good way to increase the chance to the secret boss appears in Binding of Isaac ?

I'm played this game nonstop for HOURS today and only saw him ONCE =|

I'm starting to think that getting the Super Meat Boy golden gift is going to be faster =P

Well if you beat Mom 10 times the path to the secret boss will always appear.

Other than that, dunno.

How is the online community for Red Orchestra 2? Is it pretty much dead or? I don't wanna buy a MP game and not be able to play the MP.

Is the Spiral Knights achievement hard to get?

No, just slog through a couple of missions with your friends. Takes 10-15 minutes.

Then you can select lockdown in the menu. Hit someone with a snowball and it's yours.

I've never even played an MMO-type game and I did it.

Wait, Sonic will be $15 on Amazon tomorrow?

Ok, so is it actually good? Or super mega sonic fan starving good?

Can Krampus be encountered in basement?

yes, but its a small %, there is always a 10% chance of facing him in satans room and 5% as a mini boss, but that chance goes way up after you have visited satan. the more times you visit him the higher the % goes.

Just keep trying I guess.

Playing Dungeons of Dredmore, it's a lot of fun, even if I'm terrible at it. My longest run yet was just ended after I accidentally drank poison and killed myself. Oops. My goal is to earn my first Xmas cheesemint but I'll probably keep playing after that, good shit.

Is it normal for Fraps and the Steam overlay to not work with DoD?

These coupons are probably the only discount in the world that you could receive and still feel swindled. Valve are devious people.
 
well if you are giving them away I'll gladly take them

already have 200 but doubt I'll be lucky enough to get the right level on my first try

Steve Winwood already got to me, but if you can get to me in Steam before he gets off the phone, they are yours, as well as the extra shit.
 
2 lumps of coal and 50% off Sonic Generations (which I already own) for Psychonauts and Dungeons of Dredmor.

Counter-Strike Source
Day of Defeat Source
Dungeons of Dredmor
Greed Corp
Hard Reset
HOARD
Jamestown
Left 4 Dead 2
Orcs Must Die
Psychonauts
Team Fortress 2

Edit:
Adding another cheesemint.

Are you following the video? It took me a few minutes on the keyboard, and on the laggy ass OSX version at that.

What video? I looked on YouTube and saw one where a guy hit the Alt button on his keyboard to make the game freeze and when he hit it again he was at the end of the level, but I couldn't replicate what he did for some reason. Is there another?

Hoping someone can help me. I'm on OSX and I'm trying to play Anomaly Warzone, but the problem is that steam thinks it's updating and lists it as "Download started".

I can't delete the game from steam or verify integrity or anything... Steam just thinks it is downloading the game but it isn't. Anyone have any ideas?

I don't think they're nearly as well implemented as past contests. I have no interest whatsoever in earning tickets this time around, and I was pretty into it last summer.

Anyone else not seeing anything new in their inventory after unlocking achievements? I haven't gotten anything for the last three or so.

It should've been split between coupons and gifts if you got an achievement. Right now all the coupons I have are less valuable then the coal I have.

Means you probably got coal for them. Go into TF2 and move around your inventory to get them to appear.

The problem is, since virtually all coupon discounts are probably either matched or exceeded by the winter sale prices anyway, the market for them falls to people who are either so indecisive about what to buy right now that they freeze up and get nothing before the sale ends, or people who only start using Steam starting next year.

Yeah, that's really the biggest problem with the whole thing. Coupons should feel like winning, it's telling that the lumps of coal are more highly coveted by many/most.
