i don't think you can :p and thanks for the info on fable 3

You have always been able to on the previous sales, even the potato one

So yes most likely you can

Great choice on Orcs Must Die (Y) FYI I didn't get the reward until I completed the second level, corners iirc.

Also if you go to the Humble Bundle site and buy that for whatever price you want there are several games in the bundle which are for some of the upcoming days rewards. And the games are good anyway AND you are supporting indie developers (Y)(Y)(Y)

OK, my previous question has been answered: you can still complete objectives from previous days. :)

Oh, and I've finally got a second item in my inventory from yesterday's achievement; got a piece of coal. :p

I got Counter strike source and Dungeon defenders as free gifts.

I didnt have either.

I used to play CS 1.6 constantly. Until my brother used some wallhacks in DoD and got my account banned forever. They forgave/forgot the ban after about 3 years because my account is in good standing now just like nothing ever happened. I guess they decided a permanent ban didnt do any good.

I installed CS:S and hopped into de_dust to see if I still had it. After a couple of rounds I was 32 and 6. I still got it baby headshots all over the place. Even got in some long distance headshots with a pistol a couple of times. I'm glad to see that the AWP ###### are still around and just as thick as ever.

I bought a couple games. Orcs must die, Aaaaaaaaaaaa, Arkham Asylum GOTY, and a couple other games that were 3 or 4 bucks each. Very good deals to be had.

If anyone wants to send me games or coupons my steam name is ComATosE. I know its stupid but it was what I signed up for with steam in 2003 when I was playing CS all the damn time. Ill keep an eye on the thread and if I get some more free stuff I dont need Ill send it to someone in here.

Steam is so much better than Origin.

I think I actually got a copy of Bad Company 2 in their deal?

Or is it because I already own it, and I can send my copy to someone? I am confused here?

If it is a new copy, it says it is "Tradable," so does anyone have any game they would want to trade for it? I am open to any type of game.

To me not worth it at that price, i was hoping I could use the coupon on it before I read when it was good.

I guarantee you'll love it for that price.

It's unlikely they'll put it on sale lower than that in the time period you're able to use the coupons for. So, basically, this is likely the best deal you'll get for at least half a year, I'd imagine.

YAAAAAAAAYYYY

Just got:

Mirrors Edge

Metro 2033 (long time coming)

Witcher 2

Too bad none of these will be 100 % completed :cry:

Didn't really enjoy Mirror's Edge that much. Metro 2033 is pretty decent, though. Have fun :)

Thanks.

Really liking Metro 2033. Not that much into the horror genre, except for some titles, but 2033 is great shooter, no doubt.

Still have Mirror's Edge on queue. *SIGH* slow internet connection

The thing i love most about steam sales is it's 99% of the time stuff i either have or not interested in. I'm starting to think I'm not the gamer i used to be.

heh here its just I have way too many games.

some unfinished, some I bought DLC for and havent played, and so on...just need to buy less.

Which is why even though I'm sure I'd enjoy it, I'm not buying Saints Row 3 yet.

lol I got a DotA 2 Hardware survey gift. Already in the beta so I guess I don't need it. Even if I don't get something I need this promotion is awesome. Way better then in game items I don't care about.

I guess you're going to trade the invite with someone?

I received The Void and a -25% coupon for any Valve-published game. I'm going to press my luck later today with some of the other objectives. I hope I don't receive any lumps of coal.

I am trying to get the Orcs Must Die Achievement listed on the Holiday Gift Grab webpage but whenever I launch Orcs Must Die I get a black screen with only the cursor. I've tried the suggested fixes for this issue and the issue still persists regardless.

      No. Windows 8 had little to no spywhare, is actually faster than 7 but it has the dreaded start screen, nothing that you could not fix with start8. Windows ME crashed often, but was shotlived and replaced by XP, which is a much better windows in itself.

      Windows 8 was uninspiring but it was fine / worked. It was just overshadowed by how great Windows 7 was. Windows ME seem to be just unstable for most people - I was using Windows 2000, which was far superior. The two best versions are Windows 7 and 2000

      I don't think ME was that bad. The stability issues were mostly caused by drivers. This was when the switch from vxd to wdm was happening. The other complaint was not being able to shut down into DOS anymore which was silly with XP right around the corner.

      As much as I hated Windows 8, although I never used it personally on any of my own machines, I think Windows Me was hands down the worst OS from MS. I have Windows 11 on 2 unsupported machines and haven't had any issues and I actually kind of like it. Still hate how slow Windows updates are though.

      Why do you think they whol industry would be done? Agree a lot has shifted around the launch with devs moving their dates to avoid the timeframe around the launch. But if this fails, it'll be talked about, analysed, Rockstar will likely be ridiculed but people will move on. Others devs might be more cautious about these large games but I don't think one game will change the entire industry
