I finally won a game ! I finally won a game ! It only took 22 achievements.

and its.....

Half Life 2: Episode 2.

Ah. It's not like Iv had that game since 2007.

It's not like its mostly useless as a trade item because EVERYONE has it..

*sigh.*

That's the reason why I'd rather hoard my coal (got 30) and risk not getting anything in the final draw. At least I know if I do get something there it'll be something I like/want (unless its the valve complete packs I guess).

I'm all done with my cheevos, and I must say the event as a whole has been a bunch of ups and downs for me.

Lows: Getting 14 coal total, first craft netting 25% Valve coupon, second craft netting 33% Valve coupon.

Highs: Received 4 games -- AI War, Hitman Blood Money, Costume Quest, Train Simulator 2012.

Honorable mention: And Yet It Moves cheevo sucked soooooooooooooooooooo bad. OK, not necessarily the cheevo, the entire game is just not my style at all.

Wanna trade some of that hoard for a Far Cry 2? XD

No ta :P Not interested in FC2.

I know. No one is, since that game sucks :D

Lol, I know what you mean. I grit my teeth and got the AYIM achive, I really didn't enjoy it though. (which is why I have owned the game for so long and never played past the second level. Got it in a bundle at some stage..)

Finished my last objective today. I could do Trine, but..... nah.

For me it wasn't too bad.

11 objectives : 8 coal (7 crafted into Puzzle Agent), CS: Source, 50% max payne, 50% some game I can't remember and 33% off valve (replacing the 33% valve coupon I traded for the max payne coupon).

Go single entry into drawing. Make me proud among 50 million other coals (at least).

Crafting seems to bring only valve coupons anymore. Coupons of Valve games. Nice.

Crafted 285 coal today, yes I got them legit, no I didn't use multipli accounts, no exploits involved. Someone was really generous (a trader).

So I got 35 valve coupons and 6 valve games.

My advice: dont craft, you only will get Valve stuff. You better find someone who buys you a game for all your coals.

I got 4 games via crafting and neither of them was a Valve game.

Was that today though? The theory is that they ran out of games and now are only giving away valve stuff. I got a 50% off valve coupon today.

I got Far Cry 2 from one of today's achievements, so they might still have some left.

Sent you a PM

who wants to trade portal for another game or 14 coal?
