Steam Holiday Gift Pile!
 

I got Counter Strike source :D
What did you get?

Orcs Must Die!!!!!!
Portal 2
Metro 2033
Bunch of Heroes

Jesus, up to 320 games.

Bunch of Heroes. only thing in the bunch I gave a shit about.

Jesus, up to 20 games!

Might have to give Old Republic a rest with the gift pile going on as well. Earn selected achievements and get a free game/coupon or coal. With coal, you can either get an entry into the prize draw (grand prize is every game on Steam) or use 8 lumps to make a gift and all the gifts are tradeable.

Been on a big Indy kick of late. Just got Block that Matter so far, but I'm sure I'll be getting more. Also got the Humble Indy Bundle the other day.

I've been eyeing Bunch of Heroes yesterday. How is it so far?

No idea, heard good things and impulse bought at that price so I'm not sure yet.

I've just watched a video of it. It's only $2.49 so what the hell.

Saints Row The Third is on sale until January 2nd.

Almost everything is on sale on these sales. The trick is to check the daily deals and don't buy outside the daily deals until the last day of the same as they may be on one of them and have even more savings.

2.50 + solid reviews (well, solid feedback) are the reasons I bought it.

I'd be able to say more, but I'm hooked on Dungeon Defenders.

I just bought Bunch of Heroes...
What I meant by 'get', is what gifts.

Purchased:

Half Life 2 Episode 1 & 2
Red Orchestra 2
Duke Nukem Forever (What? £3.74...)
Costume Quest

Doing gift cheevos over the weekend more than likely.

Geez... Getting past wave 20 was nuts... managed to get 800k or something and got our team the achievement.

Dungeons of Dredmor is so worth a little more than a dollar. One of my favorite games of the year.

Wazzat?

2 fucking lumps of coal...

DoD is a Rogue-like; it's a dungeon-crawl where (by default) death is permanent. The farther down you get in the dungeon, the more ridiculous things get, and the game basically leaves it up to you to figure out how to play the game effectively. Tons of items don't have descriptors on them, so you have to figure out what they do by trial-and-error.

I only got to the sixth floor on any of my characters, but it was always a blast to try new abilities out each time. I definitely got sad losing some of my characters, but it was more fun for me knowing that death could be behind any door.

Probably going to start playing it again, now that I need something over the holidays to play while I'm away from home.

I haven't played it in a while, but I can back up that it's well worth 86 pence/whatever it's going for in the US.

Just bought the DLC for 87 cents; didn't even know it had any. I bought the game the day it came out for five bucks, and it was well worth that amount.

Meh. Pass.

Was considering buying a gift copy for you, but I guess not.

Bought it

Thanks for the heads up guys.

Picked up Witcher 1 & 2 for $25 all together.

The Witcher is fucking fantastic. Picked up W2 as well today, though from another website that had it for a few dollars cheaper, but still got it attached to Steam. I love Steamworks games.

Gave me HL2:Ep2 and coal. Don't have any of the games to do the objectives

Bought Portal 1,2 for $8 and Max Payne 1,2 for $3.5.

Any of the indy packs any good? Considering getting Super Meat Boy also.

I think if you buy the Humble Indie Bundle set you get all the soundtracks for those games for free as a bonus. It also has a grandfather clause that if any game in the set was purchased before, you still get that game's soundtrack for free.

Yeah definitely get the Humble Bundle (#4 includes Super Meat Boy). You pay what you want and can determine where the money goes.

There's also Indie Royale which includes some games that will have upcoming achievements for the Gift Pile. Again, you pay what you want.

All the games can be activated through Steam (if that needed to be said).

Thanks!

Super Meat Boy is fucking awesome. A shame my save file's lost.

Indie Bundle 4 (Mentioned in a post below yours) looks good, but I already have all the games in it I want.

Gonna go ahead and give this game a shot

If it isn't any good...:foc:

Coal from DiggleNog

Same

Dunno whether it's worth keeping the 7 coal or going for a gift...

FYI: if you pay above the average for the humble indie bundle 4 (think it's $5 or so), it now includes bundle 3 with a few more games. So glad i got it.

Bah gawd... I can't participate because (apparently) TF2 doesn't count as a game anymore :p

It's a pile alright, a pile of s***!
