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

    • No, size is not the only selling point. I did not even remotely say that. Your claim was that "building your own will be faster and cheaper". This is false. You cannot build something close to that form factor with off-the-shelf parts. You can build a Mini-ITX PC and pay more, or something larger and pay less. But these are different market segments. It's apples and oranges.
    • There is a default resolution setting in Settings > Display that can be changed with a click. You can also change the settings on a per-game basis. No CLI needed. Also, Steam has countless games that are not "[perpetual] alpha/beta games", so no need for the straw man. Plus you can use other stores as well. And console games (e.g. PS5) cost a fortune, which itself more than negates the price subsidy on the system, unless you plan on exclusively playing 1 or 2 games. It's true that you shouldn't buy a system that doesn't support the game(s) you want to play, but I think that's kinda obvious, and applies to every console as well as PC. I don't game in the living room and have no need of a Steam Machine, but there is a clear market segment that would find it useful.

RSS Guard 5.2.0 changelog: Added: Feed auto-fetch can now also be delayed while Feral GameMode is active on Linux and startup auto-fetch is skipped when GameMode is already active. (#2265) WebEngine builds can now use RSS Guard generated proxy auto-config (PAC) rules so article/web browsing follows per-account and per-feed proxy settings more closely. (#2273) Generated PAC rules now also cover related subdomains and use Public Suffix List data, so feeds such as feeds.bbc.co.uk can also proxy resources from images.bbc.co.uk. (#2273) Standard feeds can now define extra proxy domains, useful when article images, stylesheets or other page resources are loaded from a CDN or another domain that should use the same feed proxy. (#2273) RSS Guard now asks for proxy credentials when a WebEngine page needs proxy authentication and can fill credentials from the current feed proxy when available. (#2273) Network settings again include an option to ignore all cookies, which clears stored cookies and prevents new cookies from being accepted. Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now individually ignore cookies while downloading feed data. Stored cookies can now be deleted from the Tools menu. Custom skin colors can now override the feed list article count color separately from feed titles, including a separate highlighted color. (#2275) Settings dialog can now search across available settings and highlight matching controls. (#1754) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now optionally be reported as broken when they are valid but contain no articles. (#2039) Standard RSS/ATOM feeds can now override the application-wide feed connection timeout per feed. (#1023) Tray icon can now use a custom background color and unread-count text color, with an option to reuse the generated icon as the application icon. (#1973) Support for more benevolent parsing of Gemlog entries (#2295). Article list can now show when an article was received by RSS Guard. (#947) Feed deep discovery now actually scrapes all links found in the website and checks if they are feeds or not. This greatly enhances usability of the deep discovery mode and discovers many more feeds than before. (#2306) Search boxes now show a small dot when the feed or article list is hiding some items because of active filtering. (#873) Articles now have a shortcut-assignable action to open the homepage of the feed they belong to. (#2060) Fixed: Parallel feed updates no longer crash when multiple update results are processed at the same time. (64cf521) Links in WebEngine articles opened from feeds such as Kill the Newsletter now open correctly instead of being swallowed by the embedded page. (#2272) Relative article URLs resolution was kinda broken. (#2282) Clicking article URL did not work when the URL had "fragment" set. (#2293) The default proxy setting now uses Qt/system default proxy behavior instead of forcing no proxy. (e0263ad) WebEngine article loading now keeps the current feed context, so feed-specific proxy credentials remain available while the article page loads.
