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

    • Look up "greed". If you are willing to buy that it's only inflation, I've got a bridge to sell you.

    • Steam Summer Sale 2026 kicks off offering weeks of PC game discounts by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Every year, one of the biggest events that Valve hosts is the Steam Summer Sale. Now, the 2026 edition has just kicked off, bringing discounts for everything from the newest games and retro gems to all sorts of DLC packs. As always though, PC gaming hordes have managed to shake the servers of Steam just as the sale opened its doors, so expect the prices, store pages, and services to not show up properly for some time till the backend stabilizes. You'll find sales being present, though with minor cuts, for even relatively recently released titles this time. The front page is the place to be for anyone looking for recommendations, with it putting a spotlight on fresh games every day. However, keep in mind that the discounts themselves will not be changing and will remain static throughout the sale. Blockbusters like Clair Obscur Expedition 33, Split Fiction, Red Dead Redemption II, Battlefield 6, Dispatch, Baldur's Gate 3, Resident Evil Requiem, Anno 117, Arc Raiders, Black Ops 7, Kingdom Come: Deliverance II, and much more are currently discounted. Valve has also brought back the special "Deep Discounts" section. While part of this same sale, it only highlights games that are discounted by at least 85%, with some titles even reaching 95% off. Some of the games included here are The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Watch Dogs 2, Far Cry 4, Wreckfest, Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2, The Quarry, Ghostwire Tokyo, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II, and much more for just a few dollars each. The Steam Summer Sale of 2026 will be open for business until July 9, giving everyone two whole weeks to try and keep their wallets closed. If you want to see the biggest highlights, be sure to read our Weekend PC Game Deals special coming this Saturday.

    • Google reshuffles its AI coding team as it struggles to catch Anthropic by Karthik Mudaliar Google is already reorganizing the AI coding “strike team” it created roughly two months ago, as it attempts to find ways to close the gap with Anthropic in one of generative AI’s most commercially important areas. According to The Information, Google DeepMind is expanding the team’s focus to include “midtraining,” rather than concentrating only on coding tools and agents. Midtraining takes place after a model’s broad initial training but before the final stages that prepare it to follow instructions and perform specific tasks. In simple terms, it gives developers another opportunity to expose a model to carefully selected data before it is polished for release. That could help Google improve Gemini’s underlying coding abilities instead of relying only on better prompts, interfaces, or post-training. Previous research has found that midtraining can be particularly effective for code and mathematics, where models must move from general language knowledge to more structured tasks. Google reportedly created the original strike team in April. It was led by Google DeepMind research engineer Sebastian Borgeaud, who previously worked on model pretraining, and focused on complex, long-running programming jobs. Google co-founder Sergey Brin and Google DeepMind chief technology officer Koray Kavukcuoglu were also reportedly involved in the effort. DeepMind researchers were said to believe that Anthropic’s coding tools were outperforming Google’s Gemini models, prompting the company to give the project more attention. Anthropic has made coding a central part of its AI strategy through Claude Code and its Claude model family. The company has continued improving that area, with Claude Opus 4.8 offering upgrades for coding and other agentic tasks, along with the now-unavailable Mythos and Fable models. The reshuffle also comes at a time when Google faces increased competition for AI researchers. Gemini co-lead Noam Shazeer recently announced that he was leaving Google for OpenAI, while two other researchers who contributed to Gemini and DeepMind projects are reportedly preparing to join Anthropic. It remains unclear whether the reorganized team will produce a new public Gemini model or developer product. No release date, team size, or specific performance target has been disclosed.
