I'm sure everyone on steam already knows what it is about. If not just open your client, would you.
Anyways, what were your 2 free gifts? Were they only coupons or did you get some games right away.

25% off Valve games...after the 50% off sale.
And the other gift I unlocked wont show up.

You usually get 1 gift by default and then another one for looking in your inventory for it. But I heard from many people that this glitched up for them.
awp
Got a 50% off coupon, but I'm not sure if there are any Valve games that I both want and don't already have
YellowerYoshi
Yeah everything is glitchy as hell right now because "OH GOD STEAM STEAM SALE". I was getting plagued with errors trying to browse anything earlier, they'll probably fix it up later. Funnily enough I got a 33% off coupon earlier but now it isn't there. Oh Steam you so silly.
Backfire
I will win number 1.
I SWEAR.

Saw this on reddit... Man, steam is insane. I feel sorry for the winner. They will get friend requests up the ass

rofl, I'm laughing at the Steam servers right now. What a mess. :(

I got a 33% off Valve game coupon for today's thing. I already have all the Valve games that I'd want though, I think.
NoHitter
33% off coupon for me.
Bro got HL2 : Episode 2
Jinxy
"25% off any one title on Steam listed with Valve as the publisher."
"50% off on the title Red Faction Armageddon."
ooookay... I guess I could get L4D2 with the former, but does anyone have Red Faction? How's the gameplay?
adam2046
I won Red Faction Armageddon a while ago in a comp.
...It's still in its plastic wrap.

Everyone generally agrees that it's not as good as Guerrilla, and from what I've seen of the gameplay it looks pretty average as a shooter.
Buy it if you like destroying buildings and shooting monsters.
I got a cool statue for the game out of the comp though.
Mashley
I got Counter Strike Source, traded it for Left 4 Dead 2 :D
adam2046
Apparently I had to play a game with steam inventory integration to get my items to appear.
...Two pieces of coal.

Why? Nobody will know that you won the grand prize if you don't tell + you can disable friend requests. It's funny when you see a profile from someone who works at Steam, they own all games.

Anyway, the grand prize is horrible if you ask me. Your library will be filled with more shitty games than good ones. :(

That's why you have favourites! You can just sort the good games that way.

That's why you have categories. And do you really want to go through 1000+ games?

Then again. Yes. No one is going to play all 1000+. Still, what other better way would have been there for the main prize?
Backfire
I only got 1 gift.
And it was a faggot coupon for valve games.
I already own all the valve games that I give a shit about.
mm201
I got a 25% Valve coupon, a coal, and another Portal. (Maybe the Portal was there before, I dunno.)
I might as well do the Edge challenge.
Backfire
mm, are you saying you have an extra portal to gift, or now you have two?
mm201
Gift.
Gabi
i got team fortress classic, i feel so scammed.

adam2046
1 Valve coupon and 6 pieces of coal...
This is the worst christmas ever.
Gaba
Got a Coal and HL1 for free.
mm201
If anyone has a spare HL2 ep2, I'll swap for my Portal. It's the only Orange Box thing I don't have.

Edit:

Now I'm curious.

Edit2: Just a bug. Nevermind.
Backfire

Like a boss.

Oooh, one of the games with a challenge is a game I actually HAVE! I haven't played Psychonauts yet though so idk how long that'll take. Each achievement, once revealed, is good until Jan 1st right? I don't have to get it within the next 24 hours? Cuz I got shit to do

Drop everything, play Psychonauts. It'll be worth your time.
awp
I know Psychonauts is a fantastic game. I don't even have to play it to know that.

But I gotta get my KSGL on.
adam2046
7 pieces of coal.
*craft*
50% off Vice City.

Why do you hate me Steam...
Topic Starter
Rukario
Why would you actually craft the coal? I'm totally gonna keep all of it
adam2046
Because the only things I've ever won in my whole life were a christmas cake and Red Faction Armageddon.
I don't even like christmas cake.
Randy96
I currently have 50% off Valve, 50% off Rollercoaster Tycoon Platinum, and 1 coal

I have no games on steam pretty much, can only get the free goodies that roll around :(

It's the exact same things you get for unlocking the presents except you can't get another piece of coal by crafting coal.
Pokebis
I traded my 50% off any steam for Killing Floor. Also got a piece of coal for joining that group or whatever.
Somebody gifted my Dungeons of Dredmor so Imma do that now.
Larto
Buying way too much. oh god. their strategy is working. so well. So far I haven't gotten any games out of this (I got Orcs Must Die for completing Orcs Must Die's achievement), but I'm trading some stuff for Borderlands. Yai!
awp
I'm excited and then disappointed every day so far

I haven't done any of the game achievements because I haven't been interested in any of the games except Psychonauts. I'm waiting for the sales to offer something relevant to my interests that I don't already have.
adam2046
Finally got something other than coal and it's actually worth something. 50% off any Rockstar game and LA Noir is only 25% off currently...and then I got 50% off Steel Storm: Burning Retribution 4 pack :/
awp
Steel Storm is pretty fun imo
adam2046
The game is currently 75% off and a lot of people got it in the Humble Indie Bundle.
I don't think there's a person who would actually want this coupon.
Mashley
I bought like 3 games today/yesterday, which were:
Monday Night Combat; this was 75% off for a bit but then it went up to 50%, luckily I got it before the price changed. Game is really fun actually, it's sort of a cross between the typical 'MOBA' format and a third person shooter, with a nice style and setting as well. Doubt I'll get into it much, competitive multiplayer games are rarely my cup of tea but it's still a good buy. Shame there's a f2p version 'Super Monday Night Combat' coming out soon. -_-
STALKER Shadow of Chernobyl; Heard good things about this game, it sounds like something I could really sink into for a bit.
EYE Divine Cybermancy; Was browsing the store when I saw this game was discounted to £1.24, which must have been a mistake actually as it's now gone up to £2.49. I had heard a friend recommend this before so at such a low price I just had to pick it up.
Still have £26 left in my Steam Wallet, bring on the rest of the sale! :)
