    50% off World of Goo
    50% off Shattered Horizon
    3 lumps of coal
    and Portal 2

    Think I'm doing well considering how few games I play. Although I grabbed the warner bros. pack the other day, so that change soon. Hopefully I'll get the cash in to replace my aging GTX260 for christmas so I can make the most or Arkham City.

    Just won another lump of coal after doing the Red Orchestra 2 objective on the crappiest map in the game.

    Not necessarily, you could have just joined, done an achievement or two, all you need is one piece of coal. Some serious hard diskage required for that though.... Be a long time before you got bored at least!

    I wouldn't craft coal into a gift. Odds are you end up with something even more useless (another Valve -25% voucher anyone).

    Then again, the chance of winning something from the coal is slim to none. Which is why I don't go out of my way to do the various achievements this year. It's just not worth my while. And I certainly only buy the games that I really want, whether there's an achievement attached or not.

    That is why i craft. Chance of winning is zero. So i take the chance of getting junk coupons for the chance to get free games for nothing, even if they are not worth much.

    And i do the achievements for either games i have, wanted to have for a while (Frozen Synapse) or got amazed by the fact, that i didn't buy it until now (Psychonauts, pretty much the best buy of this holidays so far for me).

    I've given up on the "and yet it moves" achievement. The game frustrates me too much(got lost in level 2). Glad it was part of a indie bundle, wouldn't be worth anything on it's own(imo).

    These objectives are pissing me off. If I try the Atom Zombie Smasher one any more i'll end up putting my fist through the screen in frustration.

    I found that one really easy, and it was my first time on AZS. I'd let most of your population get killed/converted in the first 3 waves, then you only have to defend a small pocket of survivors instead of the whole map.

    also if you turn the speed down to about 40% (+/- keys) it's a total cakewalk. shame it's just a shite mini-game compared to the main thing

    Did the 10 minutes christmas radio in Beat Hazard. The game is fine, but getting 1 coal for 10 minutes of listening to christmas songs is damn unfair :D.

    Update: Yay, got Just Cause 2 for the Hard Reset achievement. Well, now which family member would appreciate this game, because i already own it :).
