Main account 3 coal, the rest all coal. And a -25% Deep silver coupon.

You used multiple accounts? There are so much fiasco with people getting banned for having more than one account, aren't you a bit concerned if the same happened to you?

i think they will overlook 2-3 account, that person who got banned got like 300+ coupons on his inventory and another person had like 100+ accounts

Are you sure? Or you have 3 accounts and you say that to assure yourself? brows.gif

Welp, so no more use to craft coals, unless you're hoping for Portal 2 or Dota 2. Damn you coal farmers!!!

EDIT: f*** I'm about 3 pages late. But the point still stands!!!

i guess i spent almost RM400 during this sales. bought most of games that i already play the pirated version during my study/miskin era. now that i have money, i felt i do owe to the developers and to show appreciation and joy that i have during playing all those games,i go crazy bought most of them during this sales.

ahhh..

Funny that I only see you actively buying during the end of the year. Same as last year (err I mean last 2 years) I think when I copied The Witcher backup from you. Maybe it's just me not noticing it but yeah that's how I feel actually. More of the same for this year eh?

Next year xmas maybe biggrin.gif The original price is still $49.99. Long long more if want to wait till $19.99 and then get 75% off= $4.99
*
Or maybe Amazon put it an amazing deal again (80% off etc), if lower than $10 I'd get it. Too much at hand now so at current price maybe not getting it.

QUOTE(lanux128 @ Jan 2 2012, 01:21 AM)
no point crafting unless you want coupons or Valve games. someone posted earlier that Steam had run out of 3rd party games to give away..

I knew that but feel tempted to craft some coals. Nah.

Heck I was supposed to trade Day of Defeat: Souce + 10 coals for Blood Bowl Legendary Edition then the trader "accidentally" unpacked the gift for himself.

FML.

For those of you have Amazon $5 promotional code, and don't have Total War - Shogun 2 yet, quickly grab it on Amazon before they run out of keys again. It's only $2.49, instant grab. drool.gif

Anyway, for this Holiday Sale I've spent almost RM450. Wish I never knew the existence of Steam, and the motto "Buy now, regret later". Gonna eat bread for this month. laugh.gif

Hell yes just bought this! One of the best deals I got this season!

Bought some games, traded some, gifted some. All in all a good Winter shopping for me.

Really? No wonder all the screenshots were taken from cutscenes. Take a look at other 2 games, they provided in-game screenshot. The remastered version introduce new dialog screen and slide effect for for certain background, make it look like in 3D. Better get the whole series (4 games) from GOG, 50% off with all those extras and DRM free.
*
One of the reasons why I didn't buy the Triple Pack although the price is really tempting at $2.49. Still waiting for the Remastered Edition. I don't think they would just give out for free to those who already bought the game right? Revolution Software said they already gave the Remastered Edition to Valve to be put on Steam. But I don't know why it has not been updated.

For my entire life I only bought 4 games at full price.

Pro Evolution Soccer 2010 (I thought it would be as good as Winning Eleven 9)
Battlefield Bad Company 2 (I thought it would be as good as Battlefield 2)
Bloody Good Time (I thought it would be as good as The Ship)
Poker Night (I thought it would be a good introduction to Poker)
Red Orchestra 2 (I thought it would be as good as Red Orchestra 41-43)

Well, you get the gist.

For games that don't have cloud function, you can use Dropbox as an alternative to storing it in external hard drives.

Darn, AOE III. 6 years old game but still sold at full price, $40. Even with the expansions, it still too expensive.

Woah! Microsoft game? On Steam now?

Hah I used up all of my coupons. Didn't know that the "best-selling games 2011" will change randomly. Or their price even.

not this early as you need to wait for steam to send you beta invite if you get accepted

I got the invitation but suddenly got "server is invalid".

Damn it.

EDIT: Finally got in. Quite good to check for gaming news through Syndicated. Shame that there's no group chat. That's the most used function in Steam client for me.
