Steam Great Gift Pile Swaps and Giveaways.

When I sent the coal to Edyz I got the achievement for trading on steam. I'd forgotten about that. I won a copy of Half Life 2: Episode One. Anyone want it? Source engine games make me motion sick, and I'm not interested in the HL series anyway.

I know you're not interested in HL series, but you can fix the motion sickness problem.

Change the field of view to 90 (It's 75 now).

Played Horde a bit, got the Christmas achievement. And finally got something good out of it: Portal 2, the full game. Too bad I already have it.

Trade you for it, Kekvit?

It's news which has spread everywhere, but for those of you who haven't already heard: don't bother crafting your coal unless you like Valve stuff. They've run out of everything else.

Ah! If that works I might finally be able to finish Vampire: Bloodlines and a few others! I presume it's an .ini file edit?

EDIT: You will be delighted to know that the copy of Farm Sim 2011 is still available! Mr Cube was less than serious in his offer. Don't all rush forward at once.

I've loved reading the threads whining about the giveaway, so many people out there who think they deserve freebies for no particular reason and cry when they don't get them. The Steam forums are generally hilarious though, today there was a thread about having a donate to charity button when buying games, some guy seemed to think he should be eligible to receive gifts through such a scheme, not because he's ill or poor, but because his parents won't let him have a debit/credit card so he has no means to buy without their approval...

It was froggy's own fault for thinking a Gelatinous Cube would not be wobbly in his commitment to such an offer....

I think I'll follow Mr Cube.

Well, I don't know about that. Sorry.

Both Half-Life and Skyrim gave me motion sickness. To solve this I tried to change it in game files, but it never worked (which supposedly should work according to some forums). In both games I could change it with the console (~). In Half-Life 2 you use "sv_cheats 1;fov 90" and in Skyrim just "fov 90" (without ").
