    What a Day.

    I bought CSS for a fiver. Got a free guest pass also. Traded the guest pass to some American for Half Life. Traded 2 coal for 'The Ship'. Did the CSS achievement and got another copy of the ship. Traded that for HL2.
    So basiclly I got 4 games for €5 :cool:

    Only 128. :(

    Several years in the Mac ecosystem puts a brake on Steam purchasing. Though I've a crap ton of games in the attic that I really need to get around to adding on Steam, so perhaps 200 odd in reality.

    Is the latest Might and Magic still the same buggy piece of crap that it was when it was released or have they fixed most of what was wrong with it? Loved HoMM 3, wouldn't mind some nostalgia.

    Got my last achievement and another piece of coal. In a way im kind of glad its over. Grinding for ahcievements had gotten boring and was taking the enjoyment from playing games.

    I also added another 30 to my wallet so have a bit of money to spend for tomorrows best sellers offers.

    Hopefully grab a few more achievements tomorrow (AAAAaaaaaAAAAA is a bastard), but at the moment 11 coals (last one from BitTrip Beat), a few worthless vouchers and a snowball's chance in hell of winning anything. Still - the whole thing has been a delightful metagame, and a brilliant ruse to trick people out of money :P

    Just a warning to anyone planning on crafting coal. You'll only be able to win Valve games and coupons now.

    Thanks for posting this - I was literally just about to craft 7 of my remaining 8 coal, but I'll keep em for the draw instead. I won't bother with the remaining two achievements I could do either. Ah well, fun while it lasted!

    You could always try and trade them on the steam forums or the steamtrading reddit. You'd probably get something better than you would for crafting them anyway.

    I just noticed that on the objectives page too. That is absolute bullshít. Glad I was keeping my coal anyway.

    Would you like to trade 1 coal for 1 coal so I could get that achievement?

    It is annoying that Dead Island is still €25. Surely it should be around €15 most.

    Sorry, I just read that there is an achievement for trading, I haven't gotten it yet so was just wondering if you'd want to trade 1 for 1 so I could get it.

    I picked up the Augmented Deux Ex:HR for €20; I have the standard version on d'xbox and was eyeing up the soundtrack on Itunes for €8.99 alone! With the documentary, booklet etc it's super value and I toiled over which format to get it on when it came out but the couch won out at the time :o I grabbed The Missing Link too for €3.73; it's still 1200 points on Xbox live ffs!

    I also got L.A. Noire complete for €12.49, aint played it and heard mixed things but for that price what the hell.

    Now if only the god damn servers could deliver the content I'd be satisfied with a pretty good day's work.

    That has me confused as well. Either they've forgotten to take it down or they're having something tomorrow where the coupons might actually be worth something.
