How do you do the audiosurf one? Says it is achievable now.

Play Pusher and use the Audiosurf track under Radio. Just fill a column with Red > White > Red > White > Red and you'll get it. You may have to push 'em to the middle.

[Stumpokapow]

Just go the two BIT.TRIP Beat achievements. The gamepad one was kind of dumb, like the old guitar hero "finish with a controller" achievements. Cool that the Portal 2 level is still in the game.

Rumors I'm hearing is that for the Bit.Trip Runner 'Trine' one, you need to have gotten at least to zone 3-7... which would suck, since I have the reflexes of a spastic newborn kitten and haven't been able to finish zone 1.

I got it for finishing 1-6, but I had already completed the game before that, so could be :/

[wilflare]

Oh, right, yeah. Should at least be able to buy a handcannon and some ammo after the first wave though.

thanks, finally got it.
goosebumps all over.
man... i'm bad at this

[PGamer]

Only if you specifically purchase it as a gift (or got extra that are in your gifts menu I guess) AFAIK. If you just have a loose key and haven't used it, just send it to them via email or something and tell them to activate it in steam.

Yeah, it's a loose key. I was going to give it it a friend and I figured I'd do it through Steam but I'll just send it in an IM instead I guess.

You need to make a vertical strip of red/white/red/white/red blocks. I just did it in Pointman mode to Spirit in the Sky by William Shatner (no, I'm not kidding.) I'm glad to be done with it, something about Audiosurf makes me feel like I'm going to have a seizure every time I play it although I've never had a seizure in my life.

I did mine in Pusher Elite to Deadmau5's Sofi Needs a Ladder, which has a bunch of stop-start stuff. It was pretty fun! :D

Oh, herp a derp. Reading comprehension FTL.

Heck yeah.

In other news, I really wish Valve would fix Steam's LIES.
I figured I'd reinstall team fortress 2 (with the 'TF2 beta' still in my library), so it said "4517mb required", which I still had. Then it started crashing and complaining I needed more space. Turned out I needed 10.6 gigs to install it, or over twice as much as they claimed. -_-

The 'normal' TF2 link lies less (6-ish gigs), but it's still a sizeable difference.

Noticed the same thing with various games with mandatory DLC file downloads, where they don't get counted to the install total.

After some more Toki Tori time, I caved and looked up the solution for bonus level 2. Then I felt bad because I was so close. I had figured out how to make the bridge at the bottom and only needed to figure out how to speed them up to make it work. I had already tried variations on the latter and never got it to work, but I probably would have gone back and made it work had I thought about how I had one more enemy than I needed for the bridge. Let that be a lesson: never look up the solution!

[Mrbob]

Hahaha, the free Christmas map in Sanctum is wild. Santa flying above, can shoot him down to get presents for a chieve. Also enemies with Santa hats giving out presents! The music which accompanies the stage is the best. A version of Jingle Bells with what sounds like a drunken development team singing the lyrics at times. So funny I can't help but laugh while playing!

I'm guessing the costume quest achievement isn't available until it's actually christmas? Tried setting my PC to the 25th and it didn't unlock.

They add acheevs to the game, which is an added challenge. Some of us are under the assumption that they ae going to work like some of the other acheevs from past Steam Sales.

[Nabs]

Beat Hazard achievements are active. Time to listen to Justin Bieber and Nsync Christmas songs.

Cant wait for the sales, gotta love being a PC gamer.

[Jdez15]

I just picked up amnesia, I love it.

[Turfster]

Just redid the beat hazard one.
Conclusion: MUCH EASIER without shitty rap rapage of "christmas songs" like earlier.
Edit: And then the nsync started and I started dying again lol
Edit2: When the internet radio cuts out, I lose ALL my power and can't kill anything anymore. Die, and I just see enemies floating in darkness. What?

Also, what, there's a spacechem one? (not on the steamtreasurehunt wikia page yet?)

[awwyeahgurrl]

So far I've done:

AudioSurf

I'm looking for someone to do the Swords & Soliders achievement with someone since no one plays this online.

[SmithnCo]

I regret leaving my NES style 360 controller behind for Christmas break, the second SMB achievement would be near impossible for me without it.

Ahwell, there's a ton more to get, really curious as to what the reward will be for these.

[BioHazard]

Men of War: Assault Squad just got a holiday achievement. Crazy Scientist from the northern Arctic Cycle - Complete the bonus mission!

How do I get onto a christmas radio station?

[DrPirate]

Well, I'm done! I'm off to see family and then off to Vegas. No more PC gaming from me. It was alot of fun though!

God I hope these are tradeable like the tickets were...... It would make my Christmas! :D

Dmax: Go to survival: Internet radio: The first 2 options are christmas radio stations

It should be under internet radio. There were two Christmas stations when I tried it.

I believe the Diggle Nog achievement is one of the Winter achievements, but I could be wrong.

How do you do that one btw?

[Cels]

http://steampowered.com/steamworks/thebigpicture.php

Is that new, or have I just been blind?

[ChoklitReign]

I want to get the Bit Trip Runner "Amnesia" achievement and can't get to the spider. I am getting better but I don't want to finish a bonus stage.

[UnluckyKate]

http://steampowered.com/steamworks/thebigpicture.php Is that new, or have I just been blind?

it as been announced at the same time HL2 got released. Of course it was VALVE time

[Mimir]

How do you do that one btw?

The developer said you have to craft it with the porta-still, but I got the achievement when I stole the diggle nog from a vending machine.

[Turfster]

How to cheese the Beat Hazard achievements in a few easy steps:
1. Start playing survival, get to 5 minutes.
2. Internet radio cuts out. Blessed silence. No more nsync. You don't respawn. "Huh", you think. "I wonder..."
3. 5 minutes later. My that's a lot of ships. And hey, there's only one boss ship.
4. 10 minutes later.Yawn.
5. 15 minutes later, you're done. The same boss ship stayed on screen the entire time without getting any buddies.

[The Technomancer]

why did no one tell me Swords and Soldiers is amazing? just played a few games in MP and it's a very quirky 2D RTS game, anyway got the achievement in the online game, had to take a few rounds before I got it, but when I did I won that match to boot :D to bad not many people are playing :| GO AZTECS!!!

Because no-one knows about it! But amazing it is.

[BobJustBob]

I got the Atom Zombie Smasher one after some help from the Steam forums, which I will put behind spoiler tags for no particular reason. A good tip was to not do too well on the early waves, because every civilian left alive is another zombie you'll have to kill later when you will already have too many zombies to kill. Let most of the people die early; as long as a single one is left alive, you don't lose. An even better tip was that the game speed modifiers from the main game work in this mode. Use the space bar or plus and minus to reduce the speed as low as ten percent and it becomes a cakewalk. And if the achievement doesn't pop up, start a new campaign, go into the first area, and concede. Like DrPirate said, that should do the trick.

It occurs to me that all this achievement talk should be in a dedicated sale discussion thread somewhere.

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I love the Holiday Whompa design.

Sequence acheeved!

[Dmax3901]

It should be under internet radio. There were two Christmas stations when I tried it.

Oh god. That was the worst achievement ever. Such nauseating music.

EDIT: THERE'S THREE ACHIEVEMENTS!!? OH CHRIST NO!
