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)

Thats sweet... Where is the humble bundle site but... steam is currently giving me error saying they are experiencing high load. :p

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.

This topic is now closed to further replies.

    • AMD releases hotfix for driver install issues on Windows 10 PCs by Taras Buria Earlier this week, AMD released an important graphics driver update. Version 26.6.2 brought AMD FSR 4.1 support to the previous-gen Radeon lineup, the RX 7000 series, giving users better upscaling tech that was previously locked to the newest GPUs. However, the driver turned out to be a little buggy, with users reporting installation issues on systems still running Windows 10. AMD quickly acknowledged the bug and today released a hotfix to resolve the problem. The AMD 26.6.3 Hotfix update is now available for download from the official website. Given that it is a hotfix release, it has only one change in its release notes: AMD announced the update on its official X account and added that a WHQL driver update with the necessary fixes would be released next week. Meanwhile, users can apply the hotfix or roll back to the previous driver using the official AMD Cleanup Utility. You can download AMD Software: Adrenalin Edition 26.6.3 Hotfix Preview Driver from the official website here. It is compatible with all currently supported graphics cards and 64-bit Windows 10 and 11. Full release notes are available on the same page.
    • With Microsoft now listening to its core audience and acting upon received feedback, fans can finally expect a much better version of Windows 11 than what was available five years ago. Here is to five more years, Windows 11! I guess we all need a good laugh now and again...
    • Amazon Prime Day 2026 deal sees Samsung Odyssey 49" 240Hz QD-OLED monitor at lowest price by Sayan Sen Earlier today we covered a very good deal on JBL's BAR 800 Dolby Atmos soundbar system as the unit is available for just $600 as part of Amazon Prime Day 2026 deals. That's not all though as there are many more discounts to choose from. If you are looking for a high-end monitor, Samsung's 49 inch G9 QD-OLED gaming monitor is a solid deal too as it's currently just $855 (purchase link under the specs table down below). It is a super-ultrawide (32:9) 1440p curved gaming monitor and as such should offer a very immersive experience. The G93SC is a 49-inch QD-OLED (Quantum Dot OLED) screen and that means it should have excellent contrast as well as color reproduction. Brightness is a bit lacking though so if you are looking to set it up in a relatively bright room, you may be better off with something else. Speaking of external light and brightness, the major difference on the G93SC vs the newer G93SD is that the latter comes with Samsung's "Glare Free" technology to reduce glare while the C model packs a glossy finish. The technical specifications of the Samsung G93SC are given in the table below: Specification Value Panel Type OLED Screen Shape Curved Screen Curvature 1800R Resolution DQHD (5120 × 1440) Aspect Ratio 32:9 Brightness (Typical) 250 cd/m² Brightness (Minimum) 200 cd/m² Contrast Ratio 1,000,000:1 HDR Support VESA DisplayHDR True Black 400 HDR10+ HDR10+ Gaming Response Time 0.03 ms (GTG) Refresh Rate Up to 240 Hz Viewing Angle 178° Horizontal / 178° Vertical Color Support 1 Billion Colors Color Gamut 99% DCI-P3 (CIE1976) Adaptive Sync FreeSync Premium Pro / G-SYNC Compatible DisplayPort 1 × DisplayPort 1.4 HDMI 1 × HDMI 2.1 Micro HDMI 1 × Micro HDMI 2.1 USB Hub 3 × USB 3.0 Speakers Built-in Speaker Output 5W × 2 Channels Operating Temperature 10°C – 40°C Operating Humidity 10–80% (Non-condensing) Stand Type Height Adjustable Stand (HAS) Height Adjustment 120.0 ± 5.0 mm Tilt -2° (±2°) to 15° (±2°) Wall Mount 100 × 100 mm (VESA) Included HDMI Cable HDMI-to-Micro HDMI Cable Included DisplayPort Cable Yes Get it at the link below: Samsung 49" Odyssey G93SC Series Curved Gaming Monitor, QD-OLED: $854.99 (Sold and Shipped by Amazon US with Prime) Prime subscription can be cancelled within three business days at no cost.

    • Actually Windows 11 is the GUI from Windows 10 X slapped onto Windows 10. Hence the many performance issues and initial limitations of the UI, like all the restrictions on the task bar placement and features. You could not even right click on the Taskbar and bring up task manager when it first shipped. Windows 10X was truly a new OS from the ground up. Basically a lightweight OS that ran containers for various app types. Win32 got its own container. Performance was not good and OEM’s pushed back on it, but wanted a new OS to push Pc sales. Hence Windows 11. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_10X
    • Windows 10 was 6 years old when Microsoft revealed Windows 11. Does this mean Windows 12 is due next year?
