I feel like it should just be coal with a chance at a full game. None of these coupons are any better then the sales going on now and your only chance to beat these current prices is for it to go on sale again before the coupon expires as they can stack.

Got my first Game Gift from doing the achievements! I got The Witcher: Enhanced Edition Director's Cut, not really interested in playing it. So I'm probably gonna give it away.

Also ever wondered what Game Gifts you can get from doing the achievements? I've put up a handy spreadsheet here.

Ooh, me me me, please! :p I've never played The Witcher before. All I know about it is Yahtzee's review of the game, where he compared to an Excel spreadsheet a Microsoft Access database, and officially said...

Once the vouchers start coming they don't stop do they?

Have 50% off vouchers for Sniper: Ghost Warrior Gold, LA Noire, HAWX 2 and GTA Vice City. Open to trades for any games.

All I've been getting (quite literally) is coal. My brother got Just Cause 2, though (but for some reason he can't trade it until January 22; it says his account hasn't made a purchase more than 90 days ago, but he's had it for years). The one time I crafted my coal I got a coupon. :pinch:

I have very bad luck. :laugh:

Surprised to see MW3, guess they are hoping people aren't looking on Christmas ;)

They're only bumping it down to what most PC games cost new, so it's not much of a sale.

I also have Steam codes for some humble indie bundles, from paying more than the average and receiving the past bundle. I have codes for HIB1, HIB2, HIB3 and The Humble Fronzenbyte bundle. I'd be willing to trade these for 3 coal each or games.

I just did the Atom Zombie Smasher achievement and got yet another lump of coal. I've 5 lumps of coal (and a 50% off valve voucher) so far, another two coals would be nice to craft into something more useful! There's still a while left so I guess it can be done!

Personally, I wouldn't even call that a discount; ?30 is usually the standard price for PC games, including on Steam, most new games cost that much as soon as they're released onto Steam. :p Plus, you can get a physical copy right now at Amazon for ?19.99.

Well, I'm back to purchasing now. Just got the following:

Overlord Complete Pack: ?3.74

Fallout 3: Game of the Year Edition: ?4.99

Batman Arkham Asylum Game of the Year Edition: ?2.49

Killing Floor Christmas Character Pack DLC: 24p

Anyone wanna do some trading for literally anything? I've got the following available:

  • 50% off F1 2011
  • 25% off any Activision game
  • 50% off Demolition Inc.
  • 50% off Oddworld: Abe's Oddysee

I'm willing to trade for vouchers of games I haven't already got yet, or failing that, I'll trade the lot for a piece of coal. :)

I'll give you 4 coal for terraria, if you have it

EDIT: nvm, just found out that terraria isn't part of any indie bundle (thought it was)

Ooh yeah, I forgot I've got a few spare Humble Indie Bundle Steam keys too! :p

I've got these:

  • Humble Indie Bundle 1: World of Goo, Aquaria, Gish, Penumbra: Overture, Lugaru HD Traded with Anaron. :)
  • Humble Indie Bundle 2: Braid, Machinarium, Osmos, Revenge of the Titans
  • Humble Indie Bundle 3: Crayon Physics Deluxe, Cogs, VVVVVV, Hammerfight, And Yet It Moves, Steel Storm: Burning Retribution, Atom Zombie Smasher
  • Gish (got an individual key for just this game from the Humble Voxatron Debut)

I'd obviously prefer to trade these for full games, if possible, but I've got no preference, so name anything. :p

    • Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users

      By Aditya Tiwari · Posted

      Apple releases iOS 27 Beta 2 for developers and power users by Aditya Tiwari It's been a couple of weeks since Apple previewed the iOS 27 update during the WWDC official keynote. The upcoming iOS version will bring even more refinements to the Liquid Glass design language, an upgraded Siri AI assistant, and several new Apple Intelligence features. Interestingly, the latest WWDC keynote was different than previous years. Apple has released the iOS 27 beta 2 (build 24A5370h) for developers who want to test the new features being baked for the iPhone and optimize their apps. If you're interested in downloading the latest beta, go to Settings > General > Software Update > beta Updates, then choose iOS 27 Developer Beta. You can download the latest iOS 27 beta on more than 30 supported iPhones. Make sure you know what you are doing since developer betas can be unstable and unexpected at times. If you want to be on the safer side, you can wait for the public beta, which will arrive next month. It's been a while since Apple discontinued its AirPort router lineup. Now, the company said in the iOS 27 beta 2 release notes that the AirPort Utility is deprecated and won't be available for new downloads from the App Store. Apple added that if you previously downloaded the app, you can re-download it. However, the functionality isn't guaranteed when using the AirPort Utility on iOS 27 or later. Speaking of known issues, Apple said that the Portrait mode blur effect might render incorrectly for photos; you may be unable to stop an alarm from the lock screen without unlocking your iPhone; the "Add a Control" button in Control Center edit mode might appear small or clipped. There are several new features in iOS 27 beta 2 as well. It comes with Neural Engine improvements for Apple Intelligence, including better performance when loading large models over 1GB. HomeKit Secure Video recordings are processed on-device and through Private Cloud Compute for video descriptions and search, when Apple Intelligence is enabled in the Home app. That said, you can also download the second betas of macOS 27 Golden Gate, iPadOS 27, watchOS 27, and other Apple operating systems.
    • AMD 26.6.2 driver brings FSR 4.1 support to RDNA 3 RX 7000 series graphics cards

      By RejZoR · Posted

      FSR 4.1 is insanely superior to FSR 3. Like, FSR 4.1 Performance looks better than FSR 3.1 Quality. It's great they are finally enabling it for RX 7000 users. A bit late, but I guess better late than never.

      Was it the way the cars handled in 4? or was it the choices you had to make?

      Exactly.
    • Valve finally confirms Steam Machine prices, starts at $1049 for 512GB option

      By Parallax Abstraction · Posted

      I understand the position Valve is in with hardware pricing thanks to the AI bubble, but as others have said, this is DOA at this price point. There's no world in which a machine at that performance level is worth that price. My girlfriend's a console gamer and after meeting me, wanted to try PC but wanted something she could use on her TV with a controller. The Steam Machine is basically tailor made for her, but only at what it would have cost before the hardware crisis. I took my old Lenovo Legion laptop with a Ryzen 5800H and a 3060 Mobile 8GB, put Bazzite on it and it does the same thing with the games she's interested in very well. She still likes the Steam Machine, but won't be touching it until component prices are back in the sane range. I know Valve isn't a charity, but I don't know why they're not willing to at least partially subsidize this device or even take a loss on it during the component crisis, just to build some market share. Then again, the Steam Deck is also a complete ripoff at its current price and they can barely keep them in stock so...
