I just keep getting coal now with every objective I do. The last four or five I've done have all ended up with coal. I've got 10 pieces on me now, trying to resist the temptation to craft again.

I'm amazed I haven't got a game yet; not even one I already own. :p I've done 21 objectives so far, and it's been nothing but coal and trolling vouchers (that is, vouchers for games I already own).

I got both L4D2 and Flatout today, after getting absolutely nothing in previous days.

Use this contest as a reminder to separate your Steam accounts. I have a Steam account for games I play online (L4D, MW3, etc) and one for games I play offline (Skyrim, indie games)

Or, alternatively, have all your games on one account since having multiple accounts disqualifies you from the contest.

Eligibility. Entry open to any user holding a Steam account in good standing with at least ten (10) games in the account?s Wishlist. No payment is required; a Steam account may be established without purchase. One manual entry per Holiday Sale Objective, one Steam account per entrant, and one Epic Holiday Giveaway win per user. Employees of Sponsor (including directors and officers) and their immediate families or affiliates are not eligible.

Not really the contest that I'm interested in (no chance in hell of winning that)... but rather the free games with the achievements.

I got a free game of AI War, which I already own :(

Lots of Coal, tried doing the craft thing but only got another discount voucher out of it. All the discount vouchers are for games I own or have no interest in buying.

At least I've got some bargains in the sales though, and REALLY enjoying Space Marine

It's part of the same contest. The same rules apply. They could very well take away all your prizes if they found out. Sure the chances of them actually doing that are low, but it's still cheating the system.

ENOUGH WITH THE COAL! :laugh:

at any rate, just got Gothic 4, and BTW E.Y.E is awesome, one of the best and most interesting games i've played recently!

Are you kidding me? I couldn't even be bothered to get past a few missions. Unless they did some major upgrades to the game it's pretty meh.

(Mind you, I'm not dissing you for disagreeing with me, just surprised.)

OK, this isn't technically a Steam sale per se, but it is for a game that you redeem on Steam, so I thought I'd give everyone a heads-up...

On Saturday, Green Man Gaming are gonna do a voucher code for Deus Ex: Human Revolution to take 66% off the current sale price (which is currently ?25.97), so on Saturday, it'll be ?8.83. They'll be doing the deal on the Augmented Edition as well, so you'll be able to get that for ?11.46.

Anyone up for that? :)

You can craft 7 holiday coal into a prize from the great gift pile. I was wondering if the prize is completely random or if it's a random selection from one of today's deals on steam, games with objectives or something else?

Completely random. It's from anything in the "pile."

Sounds interesting. Applicable for international users? And has Deux Ex: HR been a Steam Deal of the Day so far? It's about the only other big release I am interested in picking up. I already got COD:MW3, Rage, and Batman:AC.

Yep, it's a worldwide deal. :) For Americans, it'll cost $14.47, and for Europeans, it's ?14.47. I'll post the code on this thread when I see it appear. No need to worry about demand, as there's no usage limit on the code; just that the deal will almost certainly end at midnight, going from the previous and current deals.

Don't think it's been on steam deal yet but it was $9.99 on Amazon few days ago!

    • EA Sports UFC 6 review: Brutal, satisfying, and surprisingly accessible to newcomers

      By Steven P. · Posted

      Because we were never offered a UFC game to review it in the past. Sometimes it's not a conspiracy, the reviewer does not even live in the U.S. and didn't ask for it.

    • 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.
