Hrm. I found that the Stalker CoP I was trying to get him had some loyalty limit thing, when I tried putting a more expensive version it says I can gift it, but it wants an email address to gift to because I "don't have any steam friends" <.< I'm also not even 100% sure if it will let me pay, but paypal said it would so it's worth trying.

Edit again: Foxhack, you were right, I needed to buy something to be able to do stuff. I just got Trine 2 (I'll have to wait until I get home from work to see if it'll actually let me play it), so I now know it'll let me pay too :)

Cleidophoros: Tell me what I need to do :)

Do not gift him that game, it won't work at all unless he owns the original. He has to purchase the original first, I think.

Ok, so can't I gift him the original first or something? For some reason this Steam stuff feels overly complicated. Oh, and how/where do I download my Trine 2? When I go to "games" it's there, but there's no download button, and when I click on the Trine 2 image it offers to let me play it, but I don't see how as I haven't downloaded it. Or do I just play it straight from their servers? Sorry to sound like a total noob, but when it comes to Steam, I am :(

No no, I mean... the loyalty promo is the game, but at a lower price, sold to people who already own Shadow of Chernobyl or Clear Sky. You won't be able to buy or gift that unless you already own it.

Also, you have to download the Steam client, and log into it. Once you've done that, you click on "Library", then choose Trine from your game list and double click it to install it.

Ah, ok, thanks. I downloaded the client last night (much to my surprise), so will try when I get home (I'm on my other laptop at work at the moment).

Edit: Steam is now letting me do stuff, so everyone feel free to spam me with your coupons and stuff. I'm specifically looking for Space Marine, but will be interested in anything interesting :)

Have a Steam code of King Arthur Collection, anyone interested?

If I get the THQ collection from Steam, will it let me keep the games I want and gift the rest to others? I see when I buy it I have to say whether it's for myself or a gift. I'm hoping it's like gamer's gate where if you haven't downloaded the individual game yet, you can gift it instead.

No, u can't. Get all or nothing, who get THQ pack get all games in this; u can't gift separate games

Well that's kind of lame :( Never mind, I'll just get what I want individually, most of it is on sale anyway.

Hey mate, answered your PM. Just loginto chat tonight.
I can also give you a crash course in Steam tonight if you want.

Now I have the next games for trade in my Steam inventory:

Sengoku
Bad Rats
The Chronicles of Riddick Assault on Dark Athena
Day of Defeat Source
Orange Box DE
Jamestown Deluxe
Killing Floor Bundle (complete pack)
Frozen Synapse
DOTA 2


I'm looking for from today's deal on Steam:

Two Worlds 2 Pirates of the Flying Fortress
Two Worlds 2 Castle Defense
Serious Sam 3 BFE
Serious Sam The Random Encounter


I'm willing to pay 30-40% more in value!

For example if you buy Serious Sam 3 for me, I'd give Killing Floor, Frozen Synapse and DoD:S as an example (you can choose other games, it's just an example). I did the calculation in euro prices, ofcourse I adapt to USD prices if needed.

Thank you, sounds like exactly what I need. I just bought a bunch of stuff and have no idea if I'll be able to play any of it when I'm not online, etc. I probably should have checked before I got it all, but was too excited at finally being able to use Steam, especially as GG still isn't accepting my card and Steam is :D

Hey all, trying to get a copy of Dead Space 2 from steam, have a copy of left 4 dead there I can trade if anyone's interested (and I'll throw in Cogs :P), otherwise can gift you $6 of GOGs or just transfer the $5 on paypal, don't care either way, but if someone can help me out it would be awesome :)

nail'd (steam), it's some racing game with bikes and stuff. if anyone is interested hit me up with an offer.
