The thread I looked through had people try it, with little luck. Let's see if I can even fine the receipt any more.

Ah, another problem: I need proof that I purchased the game within 90 days: it's been much longer than that.

And, well, while they may have done it with other games, this game seems to have more difficulty, such that people were unable to get it done.

Your information is false. Send Steam Support the info, regardless of how old it is.

If Valve do not follow through contact Arcen games on the official forums. They WILL fix your problem.

Search for a trade server, most of them have the haunted horsemann on it and only a few have people actually trading.

So I'm wondering if any other TF2 players play lobbies are any other competitive thing. I know a few have in the past, but some of those players have kind of moved away from the forums and once we lost the server we kind of stopped doing competitive Saturdays.

I've been getting into lobbies a lot lately, played like 15 in the last week and have been having a lot fun even though most of the matches seem to be steam rolls.

Except, due to conditions needed to gain achievement, it's hard to do even only against HH, when enemy teams tries to kill you as well it's downright impossible

There is this achievement-Idle trade server with halloween settings where you can get the haunted scrap. Monoculus appears there as well. The only thing you can't get from there is the Bombinomicon, IIRC.

I'll try to find it again.

I've played a few lobbies from time to time, and generally not done very well. May go back and play some more some time.

Use Opera or any Apple-engine based browser? Steam and whole PC might be hijacked without warning.

Apparently, wearing certain items removes his ability to frighten you. I recommend putting a pumpkin on your head and then going full-bore Demoknight.

I should be open this weekend, and I have just one Mann Up mission left for Steel Trap right now, for I believe Ctrl+Alt+Destruction. Silver/Gold Botkiller, here I come.

Pro-tip for people who want to killed the horseless headless horsemann- find an trade_minecraft server(preferably empty. They usually have him appear every 20 minutes(That is how I got my scrap earlier today)

So I go to play KotOR again, and I get this message "Steam needs to convert the game content for "Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic" to a new, more efficient format. This will require an internet connection and a few minutes' time"
I'm am kind of suspicious since I heard there was a virus of some sorts on steam and that there was nothing in the recent news saying they were updating it. Any ideas?

That is normal behavior. Let it do it's thing. I can explain if you care but it isn't exciting.

The "virus" you have heard about is related to web pages being able to do stuff through calls to steam://, particularly Safari since, unlike the other browsers, it will not prompt the user upon such links.
