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.

Anyone want to trade anything for a 50% off L.A. Noire Coupon?

Ooh, I'd be interested in that! This is what I've got:

  • 25% off Valve games
  • 50% off F1 2011
  • 25% off Activision games
  • 50% off Portal 2
  • 50% off Demolition Inc.

Add me on Steam. The link's in my signature. ;)

The Frozen Synapse one is easy.

...god damn it, I feel like such an arse now. :p I kept trying to do it legitimately via the Skirmish Generator like a good boy. :innocent: Thanks for that. :)

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...

:laugh:

I've got several coupons as well if that'll help. ;)

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. :)

Been getting nothing but coal, just traded another 7 in and got 10% off any of the Paradox games, last one was 25% off Paradox games, what a swizz, theyre all a pile of sheite. Apart from Mount and Blade which I already own :(

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'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

    • Anthropic accuses Alibaba of using 25,000 fake accounts to copy Claude's capabilities by Karthik Mudaliar Anthropic has accused Alibaba of using nearly 25,000 fraudulent accounts to extract capabilities from Claude on a huge scale. According to a report from Reuters, Anthropic told US lawmakers that operators linked to Alibaba and the company’s Qwen AI team generated 28.8 million exchanges with Claude between April 22 and June 5, 2026. That is a lot of Claude conversations, but Anthropic says this was not ordinary chatbot use. The company believes the accounts were part of a coordinated effort to collect answers that could help train or improve rival AI systems. The alleged campaign reportedly focused on some of Claude’s most valuable skills, including software development, multi-step reasoning, and agentic tasks. In practical terms, that means getting an AI model to plan and complete work across several stages rather than simply answering a single question. This is called 'distillation,' where AI companies use outputs from a larger model to train a smaller and cheaper one. The smaller model learns to imitate useful parts of the more capable system without needing the same amount of computing power. The distillation process isn't automatically suspicious, but the problem comes when one company gathers another provider's outputs without permission and at an industrial scale. Also, this does not mean Alibaba obtained Claude’s source code, model weights, or original training data. Instead, Anthropic claims the accounts repeatedly asked Claude carefully designed questions and collected the answers. Those answers could then be used as training material for another model. Anthropic has made similar accusations against DeepSeek, Moonshot AI, and MiniMax earlier this year. As Neowin previously reported, Anthropic said those three companies collectively generated more than 16 million Claude exchanges through roughly 24,000 accounts. Anthropic says the new campaign produced almost twice as many exchanges in a matter of weeks. Anthropic reportedly told lawmakers that the campaign could help Chinese AI developers approach the capabilities of its Mythos Preview model. Mythos is focused on advanced cybersecurity work, including finding and exploiting complex software vulnerabilities. via Reuters | Photo via DepositPhotos.com

    • I don't think it was ever a big question. In fact, I don't think anyone ever asked about how clocks work on Mars.
    • I don't know what the price difference is between a 5GbE and a 10GbE part, but it seems that putting a 10GbE port in might be a bit more 'standard'.
