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.

Cool. :)

Regarding today's deals, the only game that even mildly catches my fancy is Deadspace 2, but I am going to give it a miss.

Team Fortress 2's achievement isn't unlocking a gift for me. I got it and all, but the Steam store says I don't.

I guess it's a server issue at the moment, since it won't unlock Beat Hazard's for me.

Cool. :)

Never finished 1 so haven't done much with 2, but I heard its much better.

(I could say that I love the beginning of 2, but thats all I've played. Of course any game where you wake up that way is alright in my book.)

OK, got 14 lumps of coal now, and I picked up a 50% off Dungeons of Dredmor voucher. Now that definitely is trolling, as I got the objective in that game a few days ago! :laugh:

yeah I traded in one batch and regretted it having already heard what you guys got I knew it'd probably be useless o.o

Against my better judgement, I am going to craft 7 more pieces of coal into a prize, even though I've got like a 0.00000000001% chance of getting something useful. Here goes..........

40% off The Witcher 2. :pinch:

hey I wonder if I can download that yet! Haven't been able to since they converted it to the new content delivery system.

...over three months ago...

...anyone wanna back it up from Steam and burn me some dvds? maybe that'd work! (No, I'm not asking for anything illegal here, heh.)

Anyone who wants to trade Portal 1? I just checked my inventory and as it turns out, I got Portal 1 in my inventory.

I want to trade portal 1, what do you want for it? I got not that much :/

I've got 6 coal and a 33% discount on a Valve game that I'd be willing to trade. I've yet to get the trading achievement so I'm open to a coal-for-coal trade if anyone wants to. I'd be particularly interested in coupons for the King Arthur or Supreme Ruler games (both Paradox titles) if anyone is looking to trade for my coal and/or Valve discount.

My Steam username is the same as my forum username. :)

Hmm, I just noticed that Steam has given me giftable copies of the two Serious Sam Classic games for buying the Serious Sam Gold Pack last night (even though I never had any of them before buying it :p ). Nice surprise there. :) Who's up for trading then? Seems you only get the Classic versions from buying the Gold Pack, although at the current sale price, I'm guessing a lot of people have them now. :p I'm open to any offers (except the bad coupons, that is).

man you guys are really tradey this year, i don't remember this happening before!

anyway, Homefront is a good deal for that money, you still have time to get it, i paid full price on launch :rolleyes:

random: maybe i need to give EYE more time to reveal itself properly...but so far it really does seem like a very unique game! i love the mood of it and the wacky story.

and we're still talking about coal...i'll give ya guys some lumps if you don't stop talking about that!

The damage so far:

Alice: Madness Returns

Assassin's Creed: Revelations

Bulletstorm

Dirt 3

Orcs Must Die

Rage

Rock of Ages

I think this will be it for me this year, there's no other games I really wanted that can't wait 'til the next sale.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
