I just finished playing Rise of Immortals (which is a free game, by the way). I ended up playing for just over an hour. It was more fun than I expected. I was able to get 10 assists fairly early but I continued playing until the match was over. I played a 3v3 PvE game that ended up being 2v3. My ally and I just owned the enemy team. If you're going to try the objective, I recommend playing a ranged DPS immortal. That way you can run in, get one shot off and run away. I managed to win Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition. I doubt I'll play it so if anyone wants to trade something for me, just add me on Steam.

Also, I can't install Spiral Knights. I've tried installing it from the Steam browser as well as Firefox 9 and it just doesn't work. Can someone try it? I'd like to know if it's an issue with Steam or an issue on my system.

What's the error your getting with Spiral Knights? Spiral Knights tends to run at a snail's pace if I've have too many tabs on my web browser open. Some problem with Java maybe? But try closing your web browser or restarting your computer before playing it.

I don't get any error. When I click the install button, nothing happens. It's no longer an issue for me because I'm about to play it on my brother's laptop.

I received an email from Steam this afternoon saying "You've received a gift copy of the game Garry's Mod on Steam" but the game doesn't appear in my library after clicking the link to receive the gift. :(

Bit of a crap day of sales today. :/ Probably would have considered buying the Tom Clancy pack if it was cheaper, but I've already got most of those games on other formats, so no real point in me getting them.

Nothing interesting for me on today's sale. Can't even complete today's objectives as I don't have any of those games!

Get the latest Humble Indie Bundle. Jamestown is in there, and so is Cave Story, and Super Meat Boy, which both have achievements that'll be future objectives.

EDIT: Oh, and BIT.TRIP RUNNER too.

EDIT 2: You've gotta pay at least a dollar now to get Steam keys for the bundle, as too many people were abusing the keys by buying them for one cent then redeeming the keys to do the objectives. Still, it's cheaper than buying Jamestown on its own, and you get seven games instead of one (or twelve if you pay more than $5.30). :)

I'll try that song if I can't do it with the one Singh400 suggested. Has anyone received anything good from crafting 7 lumps of coal? I just crafted them and I received a 50% off coupon for S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Clear Sky. :/

My younger brother just won Wings of Prey and my other brother won all the Tropico games (minus Tropico 4).

I got Red Orchestra 2 from crafting coal.

Damn it, I bought Skyrim yesterday thinking there was no way it would be in the sale :(

contact them, I'd say you have a good chance of them honoring today's sale price and them refunding the extra

Valve is good about things like that IMO

Didn't know that. Worth a go I guess, worse they will say is no.

I spent ages going around Dungeons of Dedmor to get the Diggle Nog achievement and ended up with a 60% voucher for the King Arthur franchise...

Gonna try the Frozen Synapse one next.

You're not the only one. It took me over three hours of gameplay to get that achievement, due to dying hundreds of times, constantly walking around in circles to heal myself, and the impossibility of finding grog (found plenty of Diggle eggs though). In the end, my reward was a 50% coupon off Demolition Inc. It's currently 75% throughout the sale!

I tried doing the Frozen Synapse one yesterday too, but bloody hell, it's difficult. Straight off the bat, everyone on the other side seems to go straight for my machine gunner. And you can't hide him away from a rocket man for too long. :p

The Frozen Synapse one is easy.
