Steam Holiday Sale

OK, so this catches a bunch of us on here numerous times throughout the year. This time around Valve has gone above and beyond with this whole "Great Gift Pile" thing. Just for having a Steam account and jumping in today, you're given something for free. I don't know if the first one is random or what, but I got a coupon for 50% off any Valve game.

So, catch of all this is that these things can be traded. You can get more chances at the gifts by completing achievements in games. Each day the list of achievements changes, so you've got a ton of chances to get something each day. Each time you complete an objective, you'll get something in your Steam inventory, which may turn out to be "a game off the pile" or a lump of coal. The coal can be gathered and then traded in towards a game, or you can hold on to it as each piece counts as an entry into the final giveaway of the season, which has the grand prize of WINNING EVERY F*CKING STEAM GAME EVER!

So, yeah. I think as many of us should get in on this as possible, just because we can all trade if we get stuff we'd rather move to someone else, or we can gift things we win to each other. Whatever!

I thought there should be a heads up, because it's easy to miss stuff on Steam if you don't use it all that regularly.
