Just played the demo for bulletstorm. Seemed pretty fun, but for some reason I cant convince myself to shell out 5 bucks for it.
Only an hour to decide.
You can always donate it to the Gaf Holiday Bingo stash!

Anyone have trouble installing a game from a disk during the sale? I tried several times last night to install a game and I kept getting the error that Steam's servers were too busy and it started downloading the game rather then just installing it from the disk
I'll try again tonight, just curious if anyone else was having this problem

Forget about Solar 2 and play M&B. Awesome game.

I wonder if Feeps will ever share the sales data?

Anybody getting really slow download speeds, like sub 10Kb/s? I've changed servers several times over the last hour or so, and it hasn't improved (even with Ukraine). I've got nearly 3 gigs to go, so I doubt I'll be playing Bulletstorm before the new year.
Let's all chip in a coal each as a bribe.

Do it. For $5, the game is incredible. Hell, for $20 it's incredible.

$5 Bulletstorm deal is still up for 1 hour. I can help any non-US gaf that needs someone to buy it for them. Sorry I can only do this through Pay Pal.
Steam doesn't usually allow for direct posting of sales data. I can make relative comparisons, but I have to be careful...
...I will say that the generosity of everyone here buying copies for their friends is awesome. Hey developers, you should just give entire forums your game for free. Shit totally works.

It's a neat game. Sort of on the short side at like 4 hours but I enjoyed it. Great music.

So on a scale of: Oh no to Fuck Yeah!
Would you say your closer to Fuck Yeah!?
Don't answer of it might break any Valve rules.
Damned evil Vavle!
Anomaly Warzone Earth... The demo and Quick Look were interesting enough. I'm thinking of grabbing this as a last minute Steam daily, but then I noticed it was on iPhone as well, also on sale.
Are there any thoughts on which is the version to get, PC or iOS? They look to be fairly different.

I finally gave in and crafted 7 of my coal. What do I get? 50% off of Operation Flashpoint: Red River. Thank you Santa Gabe -__-.
Damn, I can't even do the first one. I suck at that game so hard.

Each coal is a ticket to the grand draw on the 2nd, don't waste them.
"I designed a game, published it on Steam and all I got was this lousy piece of coal (and squillions of dollars and this t-shirt)"
It's like a precursor to the Louis CK model of distribution. Make it cheap/accessible enough and not only will people buy it, but they'll recommend it to their friends.

So, bought Alice the other day, installed, tried to play. A helpful screen pops up that tells me I have to create an EA account to play the game I fucking bought off of Steam.
Murderous. Rage.
Murderous. Rage.
Fuck Yeah!
To be fair, I endured this and then started playing, and the game is awesome. It's worth it!

It's With Fire & Sword tho. I heard it's not as good as M&B original?

How hard are the Rise of the Immortals and Crimecraft acheevs?
Warband is the best because it has everything the original has + multiplayer.
Fire and Sword is for hardcore fans.
Crimecraft is easy, just annoying.
Rise of Immortals -> Join a game against Ai controlled enemies (PvE) and choose the dwarven sharpshooter. Let your teammates attack the enemie heroes and just shoot from afar but don't kill em. That's how I got it in one single session.
Cross-post time:
What does it entail? The description is a whole lot of nothing.
As a result of completing both Christmas achievements in Rise of Immortals earlier, I now really want to play Dota 2.
Edit: Wait, this isn't the Steam thread. I need a map of the internet.
What does it entail? The description is a whole lot of nothing.
Yeah. I have an Origin account from the BF3/DS3 purchase, but this pretty much ensures I'll never buy another EA game on Steam (have everything I want, so any purchases will be future releases). Not a pleasant surprise and kind of defeated the whole purpose of me wanting to wait for it to go onsale at Steam.

Oh, yeah, Fire & Sword is crap compared to the original. Warband is the best, not for the multiplayer, but because they added a few things to the single-player from the original.

Could do coal for coal, if you want?
The game is $1.24 US and 0.99 at the moment. Exchange rates apply: 0.99 converts to $1.29, so I technically get a nickel more for European purchases at the moment.
Sorry Europeans = (
So you DO get more. Will buy on EU store then!

Rise of the Immortals, you can use play 3v3 bots. Played Crimecraft, and didn't bother. Get used to pressing F1.

white christmas yikes
...I don't get it?
Anyway if anyone fancies anything but the coal I'll trade (not looking for good stuff in return).
You have to beat these 6 levels with 4 stars or better. Some I can't even complete let alone get 4 stars.
Rebind F1 to a mouse button. Makes the achievment only half as annoying.
The Rise of Immortals achievements aren't all that difficult if you make use of the (in-game) item store. A couple of mates and I didn't initially realise you could buy items and the bots were crushing us, however we completed our second game inside an hour and came out of it with both achievements (10 assists and 20 assists). 3 human players against 3 AI opponents is what you want.
Edit: We all went with Ichorr, who is more of a support character.
Crimecraft isn't all that hard, either; though, the snowballs have no (or virtually no) splash damage, so you have to ensure each throw will result in a direct hit. I hit 200 points within two games and I played terribly. By the way, you'll want to rebind the grenade key, as by default it's something stupid.
Oh, bugger.
