The only thing i bought was the Orange Box for 3,50 euro. Tried to craft something useful but ended with -50% Orcs must die :/ A 2 days later I got another Orange Box and traded it for 15 coal. Then spent 24 coal on Universe Sandbox, Sanctum and Terraria. Also gave some unwanted games to my friends. (First Templar, FlatOut and Blocks that matter)

Funny stuff about this event:

I have 105 coal (I buy them at a reclaimed each). I hope that I win something.
Oh and I have pointless coupons. Who wants them?

All these coupons remind me that getting the grand prize MIGHT not be such a good thing. Oh well, I'd sell it on ebay anyways :P

Has anyone got this achievement from The Binding of Isaac? This game is totally random, I've spent like 4 hours and nothing so far :\

It's ridiculously luck based.
I've defeated Mom twice now (my first time finishing the game) and only got the devil room about 6 times in all my playthroughs.

In other news, I managed to win another copy of Amnesia and a copy of Left4Dead 2 from the gift pile after 32 objectives.

Edit:BAM! Approximately 5 hours of playtime and I got to him and blew him away with Brimstone and Doctor's Romote.
Edit Edit: Got 99 coins, killed a bunch of stuff with lasers, beat Mom's Heart in the same Krampus playthrough, feel like boss.
Edit Edit Edit: 50% off Atom Zombie Smasher :|

Poor Adam.
I feel like im in the same boat as you. 33 objectives and (pretty much) nothing.
Train Simulator 2012, Dota 2, Just Cause 2, Aaaaa!, the frozenbyte bundle and double-pack of Breath of Death VII and Cthulu Saves the world. 3 Of those I just traded a whole bunch of shit for.

Also I spent 5 hours on fucking BoI and I got nothing. Super Meat Boy is broken as shit. Dungeon Defenders is going to take forever.

These last few achievements are a pain in the rear ;A;

I dunno why everyone thinks the achievement for Isaac was that hard.
Devil rooms are more likely to be triggered if you beat a boss with full health. And I got the Krampus on my first Devil Room actually.He appeared on like the second floor too.

Rukario - I told you, you just got exceedingly lucky.
I've gone through the first floor over 100 times, without getting hit AT ALL, while only getting the devil a couple times, and even then, krampus did not appear.

I knew it but still it depends on luck.

A Devil's Room never appears after the first boss. Choosing Cain as your character if you have unlocked him improves your chances of running into Krampus.

The following actions improve your chances of making the Devil's Room appears at the end of a level:
Killing the boss without taking any damage
Finishing the level without taking any damage
Killing the beggars
Buying items from the Devil

Your chances of running into Krampus increase drastically after the first Devil's Room you enter in the same game:
10% chances of running into Krampus on your first Devil's Room
50% chances on your second Devil's Room
85% chances on your third Devil's Room
I encountered Krampus on second Devil's Room in the playthrough, but like 20th in all I entered in :\

How does killing the boss without taking damage increase your chances of finding one if a Devil's Room never appears after the first boss?

I've completed ten objectives so far. Got 7 coal, crafted for a 33% Valve coupon. I've also gotten a 50% Valve, a 25% Valve and a 10% Paradox coupon. I reckon every single one of them'll expire.

Hey guys, stop crafting your coal. There is no longer anything worth for crafting them.

Yeah, and did you know, people will pay you big money for that and even exchange games and shit for it? =w=

Yes, that's actually worth something... Like a 10 dollar game in the TF2 trading world. (or more if you find the right buyer) semi-rare hat. The price will probably go up after the event ends. I'm interested in it actually... I'll go get a proper price check before I offer anything for it. (So I don't feel like I'm ripping you off or vice versa)

EDIT: "Well this was a disappointment."
Price is dropping. It hit 3 - 4 keys. (keys are valued at $1.50, so 6 bucks in total)
Curse you TF2 Economy.

Bought Red River when it was like 9$
Highly Reccomend it! c:

Also Galkan, statistically, you'll have 30 more chances to win than people with 1.
But.
31 out of 5 million.
Also Statistically, You'd probably have a better chance gambling and winning 200$ on a lottery ticket then buying it.

Everything you get is a lump of coal.
