Steam Christmas sale 2011

ShadowHearth

you can use those vouchers with -50% etc only after second of january.

those vouchers are crap though, because i just completed orc must die achievment and i got -50% of greed corp, which is on sale already for -75%...

emm install is 11gb. i am with eircom, so i dont have much of restriction on download.

only managed to open my gift now:

1 coal
50% off for valve games
HL2

installing ORCS must die so i can do achievment

waiting for portal 2 to download too lololol :pac:

I have the exact same gifts!

And as bad luck would have it, while unable to access the Steam website last night, I had my first hour of playing Orcs Must Die! (so without knowing there was an achievement to do), finished the Hallway level but won't get a gift and I won't be home till after 6pm so won't have a chance to complete this really easy task! Argh.

Yeah, what's with all the downloading of Portal 2 and TF2?

Apparently it'll show up the missing inventory items if you load it. I haven't tried it since TF2 would take a month to download on o2 :pac: See the steam forums thread i linked above.

My missing inventory items have now turned up - 2 lumps of coal and HL2 Ep2

GhostInTheRuins

It says right on the right that they're valid from january 2nd to march 31st.
So nope.

That TF2 check inventory thing got me my stuff.
I got 1 coal, costume quest, and 25% off valve.

Do you want it? I don't like rpg's.
Wait until later in case you get something at 6pm that i might like.

Oh yeah, I also have hl2 ep2

Today's deals are up. Nothing really tickles my fancy apart from Dungeons of Dredmor, which I've heard good things about. At €1.11, it'd be rude not to.

Good game but damn, damn hard.

Retr0gamer

Want Chantelise but the store is getting hammered, I'll wait until tonight.

Great price for costume quest but have it on PS3 already.

Morbid curiosity makes me want to get Duke for 5 euros. Somebody please put me off it.

TheChrisD

I'm very shocked right now, yesterday's deals are still available until 10pm :eek:

johnny_ultimate

Yep, the morbid curiosity factor is driving me towards Duke too. **** it, why not?

(please note, that was an entirely hypothetical question)

Retr0gamer

What has been done can not be undone. I think I just wasted a fiver. At least I got Chantelise cheap.

I'd recommend Reccettear to people as well.

johnny_ultimate

I got Recettar as penance even though it's not Mac compatible. It made me feel like slightly less of a filthy whore.

Meirleach

Anyone else not able to get any gifts yesterday? I sad

Doubt you'll like Duke, not obscure and Japanese enough :pac:

pablomakaveli

I theres a Red Orchestra 2 achievement today but cant be arsed downloading the ~900MB update for it.

Anyway picked up Orcs must die without realizing its a 4GB download. I thought it would be a small download for some reason.

Got The Witcher enhanced edition too since it was only about 4 euro. Tropico 4 is tempting at 15.29 but i think ill hold onto my money a while.

Do you mean you have gotten the achievements and still haven't gotten the gifts or you just never gotten around to it, As you can still earn the rewards from yesterday, Today!... :cool:

In other news, I have 4 coal now and a single 25% off voucher from 4 rewards. I suck at this.

ConmanTheKiller

I may have been a bit over eager with my purchases;

• The Paradox Bundle
• Metro 2033
• The Witcher
• Amnesia

85 euro gone in an instant

This is probably due to the fact most people couldn't buy anything, let alone look at the pages on the website for 3 hours when the sale started.

did the spiral knights achieve and got some coal.
