Planeswalker actually installed fine for me. I did a game and in part due to quirky mechanics I lost it. I did a redo since I was so close to winning. I got smoked. I kept trying and failing and tried to select the default white deck only to accidentally get the green deck and do redraws to where I screwed myself. Finally got the white deck and tossed insult onto injury by playing an Instant that gave me 2 life for every creature and won 39-0. It's kind of fun to see some of the newer cards and their abilities.

Speaking of quirky mechanics, I found that some of the challenges where you are given a situation and have to win in a certain number of turns not only require you to win, but to win in the exact manner they were thinking of. There was at least one that I played where I won and failed the challenge and then saw it needed to be done a different way to complete the challenge. ![]() |

The card I wanted to play was a blue where you two target players swapped creatures. Apparently having only two players made it too difficult for the AI to know which ones to pick. ![]()

Up to 24 achievements now.
I picked up the Majicka Collection this morning, and then promptly got Majicka for one of my rewards. lol

Anyone want to do the Warhammer Dawn of War 2 achievement? Have to play online for 30 minutes then finish the match. Message DarkJoker on Steam if you are up for it.

Yep. Most annoying mechanic in Plansewalkers is figuring out the timing of stuff. I got my butt repeatedly kicked by the green deck so I switched to black. I had a guy out that was */* based on number of creatures in the graveyard and he has regenerate. Mistimed the regenerate so he died. Thankfully I got the Massacre creature to go off and I still won.

For anyone still thinking about crafting your coal or still doing achievements, Steam has run out of third party games and coupons so you will only be able to get Valve games and coupons. Not bad prizes necessarily, but if you already have them then coal might be best kept for contest entries at this point.

The Magicka one only took me about 20 minutes using this method from the Steam Treasure Hunt Wiki.
Possibly the quickest and easiest: Go into challenge mode and select Glade as your map. Approach enemies and do the following: Wet (Shift + QQQQQ), Freeze (Shift + RRRRR), Kill (Shift + RQRQRQRQRQ) Just keep killing enemies that way until you die, then restart and do it again until you get to 100.

Just picked up the Total War pack ($12.49) so that I don't have to deal with the hassle of installing Medieval and Rome from CD on new computers in the future (or on this new one I'm on now...I dunno where all my medieval discs and my rome: barbarian discs are anyways).
Already had Empire, but this way I get Napoleon too. Seemed like it made sense. If I had an extra copy of Empire now I'd gift it out to someone, but apparently Sega is uncool like that. |

I got Rome installed and it plays good, but every time i exit it, steam still thinks its running lol. So it says i played it 5 hours yesterday. Then when i go to exit steam, it says to stop Rome from running...but its not. So i might have to redownload it again

The final damage count:
Tropico 4 - $5 via Amazon Terraria - $2.50 Orcs Must Die - $4 Dungeons of Dreadmor - $1.25 Just Cause 2 - $5 Avadon - $2.50 Limbo - $2.50 Fate of the Word - $5 Cities in Motion & DLC - $10 Warhammer 40k Retribution - $10 Europa Universalis 3 Chronicles - $12 Defense Grid - $5 Rise of the Samuri DLC - $2.50 Hearts of Iron 3 Complete - $11 via Amazon Gratuitous Space Battles - Free Total: 15 games, $78.25 (about $5 per game) I've already polished off Limbo in 3 hours. I think Just Cause 2 will be a bust. I've already got 20 hours out of EU3. I wanted a couple of other games on sale (or better sales) - Dead Rising 2 and Guild Wars Trilogy, but that's a lot of gaming for little money. |

I was pretty controlled this year, not sure if it's because the sale wasnt great or just that I'd already snagged most of the stuff I wanted on the regular sales.
Railworks 3 Deluxe - $3.99 HoI 3 Complete - $7.49 SpaceChem - $2.49 Orcs Must Die! - $3.74 By far the top buy for me was SpaceChem for $2.49. Great puzzler, has had me hooked for hours on end. |

Dungeons of Dredmor - $1.87
Audiosurf - $2.49 Fate of the World - $2.49 Space Pirates and Zombies - $2.49 SpaceChem - $2.49 $11.83, I think that makes the final damage. FotW was an 'achievement' buy and I probably won't replay it much, but I really enjoy the others. Also acquired Puzzle Chronicles after getting (and trading) Alien Breed 3 via achievement. |

To get the Magicka achievement, go to the party, stand by the musicians. Hit 5 Water, BLAST, hit 5 cold, BLAST, hit 5 ice (water + cold) BLAST. Go to the north section in the middle of the 5 guys there. Do the same. THen quit the game. Then hit the start button again. You will start in the party room with everyone alive again. Rinse repeat. |

Fable: The Lost Chapters - $2.49
Dungeons of Dredmore: Realm of the Digglegods: $0.74 Batman: Arkham Asylum - $4.99 Dawn of War II Gold - $10.19 Terraria - $2.49 Sequence - $1.24 Dungeon Defenders - $3.74 So $25.88 for 7 games. I also received a game as a gift, which I traded to a friend for HOARD, so that gets counted too, I suppose. So per game, it cost me about $3.25. Not too shabby ![]()

anyone try A Bunch of Heroes? The game is aweomse and would be great with a bunch of people. Kinda like the arcade game Robotron or Berserk with 4 people multiplayer. The achievement is ridiculous.
Tried the Revenge of the Titans game. Achievement also hard ![]() |

I should be able to leave the server up and running for now. Max players is currently at the default of 8, if we need more I think I can change it though I'd have to restart the server.

What I did is get as much wood and goo as you can. Then Make the wood floor and side walls to box yourself in. THen you can build all night protected. YOu have to make a ceiling for when the eyes come. But as long as you have enough torches you can keep working. You should jump on mckerney's server.

just put a hole in the ceiling of the 1st floor and jump up to the second. mckerney put some sort of thing in the ceiling floor that you can walk on and hit DOWN to descend but I don't know what that is. Just make a hole and jump up/down. (use the axe to chop the hole) |

My coal is gone, so I guess they already did the drawing. I don't have a ton more games now so I take it I didn't win anything.
I ended up with 29 objectives finished. I won Empire Total War, Flatout, Counter Strike Source, Portal and a bunch of coupons. I'll probably give Empire to my son unless someone has something to trade for it. The other three I will give away to anyone that wants them. Flatout is an old racing game, and if you don't know what Counter Strike Source or Portal is then you probably need them.
