It is in the OP.

I'd like to see help like that for all the challenges in the OP. Which of the ones are easy? I just want a few tickets so I can get the TF2 shades and maybe a couple other prizes.

Ill be updating with available help for the harder ones, as of now the only one that presents a real challenge is Toki Tori, the other ones are super straight forward and easy, you basically just need to play the games

About Dreamfall, it's 75% off right now, but it's not part of the daily deal right? So it might go to 80%, but realistically there's no reason to hold out?

Got all tickets except Warhammer today. Downloading atm, hopefully I can keep this up for the rest of the sale without ruining my wallet too much (got over 250 games on my account already).

Man, that Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition miss-price was a piss take. Was just about to buy it but it goes back up to £24.99 ¬_¬

Hopefully it comes on one of the daily deals @ £14 again possibly on the day of release?

Holy shit--cheers, Valve!

Thank you for contacting Steam Support. Unfortunately, we are unable to process a partial credit to your account for the difference in the price. However, I have processed a refund into your Steam Wallet for your original purchase so that you can purchase the game again (you will need to complete the new purchase while the sale is still on). Please note that it is your responsibility to repurchase the game before the sale ends.

I bought MOH yesterday for my brother at $30 for his bday. Emailed Steam support today asking about a difference/credit, and they just refunded me the whole purchase!

Wondering this too. I can't imagine those games become daily deals.

Do they work on W7?

Okay game, worse than the original but still fun to play. The online is shit though.

That sucks to hear :(. I hoped the sequel would be more streamlined so I skipped out on the original.

Ah god fucking damn it, I thought I was on my way to 7 headshots in Lead & Gold but then I forgot you could down someone and had to blast them again to count as a kill. I am so pissed, what a piece of shit game.

Wow. They've only ever been shitbags when I've put in support requests. Bought a gift to a temp e-mail address for Christmas, still unclaimed. Refund request a day later? Nope, screw you Lyphen.

I've always had great customer service with Steam. Refunded my preorders with ease. Can't say the say for D2D though.

Well, bought Witcher 2 and Bit.Trip Runner. Decided to pass on Reccetear for this sale since I wouldn't actually play it.

Runner is fun, Witcher will be downloaded sometime tomorrow theoretically. So yeah.

oh no, need to get my tf2 and portal items now then.

Didn't even see that they had Portal 2 stuff, I need to get 3 more tickets!!


One thing I've noticed with this years Steam sale, the download speeds are very much like normal, compared to last year where it took many hours to download anything.

Okay I'm in a tough spot yall, played and beat Oblivion on the 360 and I know mods really make the PC the definitive version, but I never played Borderlands and it seems interesting but I dont have anyone to play co-op with ( dont know if its a problem or not). Borderlands or Oblivion? I have no idea which one to choose.

Borderlands isn't worth playing alone at all.

Put some time into the Bit Trip games and Recettear and highly enjoy all of them. Great first day with not a lot spent.

So say you accumulate 10 tickets, then spend 3 to redeem an item. Does that 10 still got towards the grand prize raffle? I'm assuming tickets you spend get taken out of the jackpot bin so it would be down to 7?

Listen to this man.

You'll enjoy it for the first 20 levels, but the redundant loot-based dumb horde AI gameplay style is something that only co-op can make fun.

All tickets you earn go towards the raffle regardless of how many you spend on prizes.

According to their rules, no. They are described separately in the legal terminology.

Might be included in a pack with its predecessor, The Longest Journey (which is on sale for $2.50)

Both are great pick ups regardless
