Sometimes the duplicates you get when buying a pack that contains games you already own can't be gifted, which always feels a bit mean.

Ah ok - that might well be it.

I'd love to give Machinarium a go if that's okay? Steam ID is fearisthemindkiller

Very kind! I don't have anything to offer in my Steam account but I'll keep you folk in mind if I get spares in the future.

I do have a 2 day Xbox LIVE Gold pass if anyone wants it.

maybe I'm being thick but how do you check for doubles?

If you click 'My Profile' from the main top menu, then click 'My Inventory', it should list anythig 'giftable' there.

ah I've got nothing to give

Christmas Steam sale bundles will fix that

Bundles don't give you duplicates of games you already have…normally. To stock up on dupes from sales and such, never say "purchase for myself". Always select it as a gift, which will give you the option to buy the game, then put it into your inventory. You can then add the games you want to your library and give away the ones you already have.

Of course, that's me going under the wild assumption that it puts each individual game into your inventory, as opposed to the bundle as a singular object.

Also, all of the games so far mentioned, save for Defence Grid, Serious Sam, The Ship and Super Monday Night Combat (why am I even including this? It's F2P) are OSX-compatible.

Hey DomsBeard are you Rich2008-3008? 1x Super Meat Boy is yours.

PressEscToExit Machinarium is yours.

It's just Rich2008 I think I'll check when I get home sorry!

Ship should be with you Nokkon.

Sorry to enquire but my Steam is still saying 0 new gifts?

Of course! I've sent a friend request via Steam.

Thanks Joe, I appreciate the generosity

Sorry if there's a bit of a delay, I have to send friend request and then you need to confirm and then I need to go back in and send gift.

Got it now, thanks man. Forgot we had to be Steam pals.
Really appreciate your generosity.

Machinarium received. Thank you so much! I hope I can return the favour at some point.

Or you can leave your email address, which is probably quicker.

That's a good little tip
