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.)

Still have Portal, 50% on Back to the Future, and..some % on Hackers..crap..something.., and 5 coals.

Anyone that wants portal for free? :p

Or for a piece of coal.

Portal 1.

Not 2.

I want I want!

I got portal 2 and also want 1!

Thanks if you wanna trade!

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!

    • Looks like no official TBW rating, which should be a required listing in my opinion for sites like Amazon (hell, put it on the box too.)
    • I think I understood the article fine. Online password managers open users up to more possibilities of getting hacked, and due to KeePass being offline and local it reduces the idea of getting hacked. If someone chooses to put their database online they're kinda missing the point. With regards to the idea of the on-prem idea, I would have two issues. I'm not sure about the first issue, but I wouldn't be surprised about them offering a cloud storage for the passwords that most wouldn't bother to switch off, regardless of if they went for on-prem or not. The second issue is that the on-prem solution for Bitwarden costs money, whereas KeePass is free and open-source (as far as I am aware). The article points out how to sync the database between devices, and I recognise that deficiency in security. But it isn't a necessity. So both services can offer a same idea, but one is free and the other isn't...choices, choices.... But to each their own.

    • I am not surprised because life is the product of a lot of biochemical and physical processes that releases various energies as a by-product. The only thing new here is the detection of these photon emissions. The researches noted this "glow" is not a metaphysical one. They don't even immediately end when one is dead. Things like fires, light bulbs, and on a bigger scale stars release a lot more "light" and they are hardly alive.
