Steam Sales

I can't buy a friend "gift certificates" on Steam can I? Only full games? I got a buddy I need to get a Christmas present for and he is a Steam Junkie. Easy gift, one would think, except I don't know what game to get him. But it doesn't look like I can buy him credit, only a specific title. Is that right?
I read their FAQ section already.

Unfortunately not. Does your friend have a wishlist setup? If so, check that and maybe there's a game on there close to what you were going to spend on them.

The closest thing to a steam gift card is a prepaid Visa or Mastercard - just write "FOR STEAM USE ONLY" on it, haha :p
 
Oh my goodness, Chime is delightful! :) It is a dollar twenty-five, you have no excuse to not pick this up!

Haven't played Poker Night yet, but I spent a grand total of $4.25 and got two games for it ;)
 
More good deals today.

Recommended: Eets for $2.50 and AaAaAA!!! - A Reckless Disregard for Gravity, also for $2.50. I played the demo of AaAaAA and I seem to remember it being decent. For $2.50, it can't be bad :)

A few of the others don't look too bad, and don't forget about the treasure hunt!

I've already got the first TF2 hat from the treasure hunt :D Now I just have to keep at it to get the second hat. The final hat is simply not going to happen for me.

Same here. I'm hoping I can get the second, but I won't get many of today's goals. I've got the group one, of course, and I'm going to try for the Droplitz one, but I simply have no plans of getting the other games :p

Not that I ever play TF2 anyway :p One of these days...

I keep saying that.

I'm straight idlin' again, I got ~15 items from 24 hours of idling (I was out of town, so I left it running). Was able to craft the Horseless Headless Horseman's Axe tonight :D

I wondered what you were doing - I saw you "playing" for hours on end until I went to bed around 1AM or so.

That explains it.
 
Sales updated. L4D2 is only $4.99 today for those who don't have it yet - hard to beat that. Shatter is also pretty awesome, in my opinion. $2.50 is a steal.

And don't forget the objectives for today and tomorrow!

You're just fishing for free games now.... :p

lol, no, but that's not a bad idea! Send me some games! Only two more for me to be entered in the grand prize drawing or whatever. I never got that LFD2 achievement on steam, so I need to do that tonight.

I've sent plenty of gifts to family and friends, so I had that one already. Already had the L4D2 one too, so I'm up to seven so far. I still need to win Sascha in Poker Night for the eighth, but I suspect that I can get to 15 before the end without too much trouble.

Yeah, I'd hate to think how many little $1-$5 games I've sent to people over time :p I have my doubts about getting the Poker Night one since I SUCK AT IT. Other than that, though, I have all the indie game stuff that's come up.

I got the Poker Night one last night. It's not so much how good you are (you can set the difficulty to easy in the options), but just keep restarting until the Heavy puts up his gun instead of the cash. If you bust out, or someone else gets him, just restart.
 
Once again, sales updated. Beat Hazard is highly recommended. Think Geometry Wars with your own music and with a higher risk of seizures (for those who are unsure, this equals "totally awesome"). Anyway, it's only $2.50, so come on. Just Cause 2 is only $7.50. I haven't decided yet myself, but I might go ahead and get it.

I'm glad one of the objectives is for BH. I can totally hit that one, I'll bet. I've been looking for a reason to pick that back up for a bit. I'm not sure what that first was previously. I assume you had to watch a trailer or something...probably download one. Anyway, looks like everyone should get it now, regardless.
