Steam 2011 Winter Sale

Post by Toshiharu »

A rule of steam sales. Don't buy anything until last day unless it goes on a daily sale. Unless you don't care about a few dollars.

Day 1
Spoiler!

Day 2
Spoiler!

Day 3
Spoiler!

Day4
Spoiler!

Day 5
Image
Now the real question is did you get anything good today? Did you get a lovely coupon? Perhaps a golden coupon? Maybe a game? What about a piece a coal? How did Gaben treat you today?

Meant to post this, I got Rift.

Now I usually get download speeds of about 1MB/s but now it's been really slow, 50-100 kb/s, anyone know how to fix this?

There's no achievement for buying it, you actually have to play it and get the achievement listed.

It's working for me now, just click the link in the "goal" or whatever it is, and it should take you to it.

Edit: Got a 25% off any Valve title. *yawn* I think I already own all the valve games. <_<

I'd buy rift, but GW2 is on the horizon and I'm really scared to get into MMOs again.

Rift is that short, flirty brunette with half a tattoo "inadvertently" revealed benearth her semi-modest clothing that meets your eye for a split second as she walks by your table in the food court. Yeah, you're interested but the danger signs are all there. And she's cheap - to complete the analogy.

GW2 is the 15.76 yr old that you're waiting for; to further complete the analogy.

Steam is lagging so bad. So uhh.. just wait for your inventory to show. I've used Orcs Must Die gift and Bunch of Heroes and they both exist in my inventory even though I've used them.

As for the thing for Orcs Must Die achivement people haven't received their gift either in the forums. Unless you're lucky like Brago.

Why not have a go with the brunette? She might be the woman of your dreams...And the 15 year old will never find out!

I got a portal 2 coupon. If it gives you a game on your wishlist, I wish it was one better. I mean I want portal 2, but there are like 10 other games I want before portal lol

Also bought Europa Universalis 3 with all expansions for $12 (60% off)

Whoever wins the grand prize is one lucky bastard. I have 70+ games but have barely touched a quarter of them. But then again, free is free, even if it's all the 20+ Nancy Drew games.

The other day I bought and finished portal. I thought to myself "you know, I'd really like to play portal 2" and decided I'd buy it later on down the track. Thanks to this thread I just won it for free.

Thankyou, SRF :)

The daily missions can be completed anytime before Jan 2 for the gifts/coal right?

Probably, like the summer ones you could do the achievements anyday after, I think its just the sales that change daily.

Ended up getting a 33% off valve coupon. sign.

You're right, you can still do the other 'challenges'. You just get extra ones every day. I hope they'll put some challenges from the games I got lol xD
