dpp Posted December 16, 2010 I just want to get to 15 to get the second TF2 hat... that means playing some games I never touched before. Something to do this weekend! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cult of Jared Posted December 17, 2010 Bob Came in Pieces is an excellent puzzle game, for anyone into that sort of thing. I discovered today I own Shatter, I'm guessing it was in one of those thanksgiving multipacks. I briefly tried to get the contest-achievement before discovering the game is seizure-inducing and bullshit. Still, the idea that valve has the ability to compel people to play a game en mass is a cool one. They could try this again without the contest and with alien swarm, for example.

The actual game is less crazy town. The bonus mode is just silly, and I tended to not really try when it popped up in story mode. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is there any way to turn off the background? I feel like a rave threw up on me. Also, get off my lawn. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainFish Posted December 17, 2010 I wish the hats for this contest didn't look so dumb. I'll probably never use them, and I have like one random hat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted December 19, 2010 I have to say, I'm finding myself tempted by the discounted Civ V. For someone who has never gotten into a Civ before (I tried 4, but got totally overwhelmed) is this a wise purchase? The one deal I missed. How cheap was it?

pabosher Posted December 19, 2010 The one deal I missed. How cheap was it? £22.49 It'll go down again (probably even more) during the Christmas sale. Guaranteed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Orv Posted December 19, 2010 Oh hey. I got 10 without trying. Splendid. Not that it'll do me any good! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elmuerte Posted December 19, 2010 It would be absolutely awesome if you would win those 100 games. If that happens, I'll eat my hat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted December 20, 2010 Oh hey. I got 10 without trying. Splendid. Not that it'll do me any good! Don't forget to log in on the 20th, or it won't count for poop. It'd be awesome if one of us won Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Orv Posted December 20, 2010 It would be absolutely awesome if you would win those 100 games.If that happens, I'll eat my hat. I don't have room on my hard drive for the 200 something I have now! What the hell would I do with 100 more!? . . .Actually, I can think of a lot of things I would get. But I won't win it, so bleh. . . .Maybe I will. Dunno. I finally won something for the first time ever today (a code for the latest UO expansion from Massively) so I probably won't win anything for another 26 years.

Sully907 Posted December 20, 2010 My luck with contests has been great lately, finished up my 10th objective friday mostly the way christ did, achievements I already had from playing games, it would be amazing if someone in the community won something.

ThunderPeel2001 Posted December 20, 2010 Hmph. I've logged into SteamPowered.com and the Steam client and I still can't get the "Logged in on the 20th" final step to be checked. According to my calculations it's 5.43am PST on the 20th Dec... It should register! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CaptainFish Posted December 20, 2010 (edited) Yep, according to valve, days start at 10 am PST/PDT, or about 1 o'clock eastern. Edit: Derp, wait I see it totally says from 12 AM to 11:59 PM, I'm wrong. I guess they just failed to implement it properly, because mine won't activate either. The treasure hunt link isn't even on the front page anymore. Edited December 20, 2010 by CaptainFish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

miffy495 Posted December 20, 2010 I got 11 without doing a single damn thing. I'm the best! Although I did end up buying Flight Control because it looked fun. Entered and all is well. I have no idea what I'd do with 100 Steam games, but why the hell not enter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ThunderPeel2001 Posted December 20, 2010 It turns out that you need to be signed in to Friends for it to work. Lame, but ay least it works! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
