Check the average price of foil cards, let us call it F.
Note down the average price of normal cards, called N.
Let B be the price of a booster on the Steam Market.
You will prefer to sell the booster if B is greater than 3*(p*F+(1-p)*N), where p is the chance of getting a foil, which is usually said to be 1%.

Opening is always a gamble, I would sell it as is

do the old sonic games (i'm talking spinball, CD, 3d blast, 2, etc) ever go for less than $1 on steam, or is that the best price possible? GMG has them for that price, i thought some would be in genesis collections that i'd get eventually but they're only in the sonic collection which'd be useless for me as i already own some titles in it.
lol this site has a 5 items in your checkout at once limit. WHY.gif?

Didn't they? I can map my fightstick.
Thank you, I totally forgot that GIF and now I'm rolling on the floor.

Back from poutinefest, stuffed full of cheese curds. I see the issue with ModBot, it was an issue related to juniors-only giveaways and long usernames and that was backing up the system. Will be fixed and unclogged in a few minutes. Sorry! Edit: Fixed.

I don't see X360 stuff. In the setting when I want to asign say LP to X it only shows kb/fightstick buttons. It works with the controller of course, I just have to memorize it. During the tutorial I was so confused when it kept prompting FK/LP/whatever.
you can't just say something like "poutinefest'
there are hungry people reading this thread

Oh lawd, JaseC forever looking for Wheelman codes.
What do poutines taste like? From what I searched it looks weird but tasty at the same time. Thanks for fixing so fast btw

I wonder if jshackles could add a page where we can check what SEGA Genesis content we have. Really hard to keep track of.
Nice! Thanks for English Country Tune, I've been looking out for that for a while. Cheers!

If I can just wait for DDR4 to be affordable, I'll have skipped DDR3 entirely!

Enjoy!
FEAR3 has been my first giveaway without a key, but with a gift link. If you have problems, it should work with this method:

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
Possibly... It's kinda all over the place since there is no one definitive "buy everything at once" collection.
The closest that Steam has it this page.

Honestly I wouldn't wait if there's a game you want to play right now, it'll be a while until DDR4 reaches mainstream and higher RAM speeds aren't that much of a speed boost anymore. Barely measurable with benchmarks.
Here you go

It's unique, and I'm not sure how I could describe it to a non-Canadian. It's very warm and hearty, like the kind of food you'd want if you were cold and in the rain and that instantly fills you up. It's very greasy and heavy and carb-filled. You get pretty regular french fries, a light-to-medium thickness gravy (normally a peppercorn gravy although it depends) which warms up the fries, and then cheese curds. Cheese curds aren't just chunks of cheese, they've got a mild flavour (maybe a little salty) and they're pretty chewy and stringy. The cheese melts a little bit, but not normally into the gooey mess normal cheese would. The flavours go together very very well. You add the cheese and gravy just as you're serving it and the best bites are the first few bites when everything is in perfect balance. The only American dish that sort of does the same thing is maybe chili cheese fries, but poutine is much much better. I guess the way poutine makes me feel reminds me a lot of heavier, cheese-and-sauce heavy Mexican cuisine, but the flavour isn't really the same. It's totally Canadian.
But see the point of a poutine festival isn't to eat regular poutine, because everyone in Canada eats regular poutine all the time. It's to eat weird experimental poutines. The most common is probably pulled pork poutine, which uses a barbecue sauce / gravy mixture and puts shredded pulled pork on top. Today I had pad thai poutine, which was poutine + peanut sauce, peanut chunks, egg chunks, tons of green onions, and a hot thai chili sauce. One of the vendors there did a chicken shawarma poutine which uses sort of a southwest mayo with garlic, shawarma chicken, and traditional poutine ingredients--I've had that before at a concert a while ago. Donair (doner) meat is also added every so often.
If you have poutine outside of Canada it'll probably use mozzarella cheese instead of cheese curds or thicken or brown the gravy too much. It's a really Canadian dish. It's actually not very popular in the area where I come from, where fries and gravy are generally served with savoury dressing (like you'd serve a turkey with) instead of cheese. But I live very near Quebec now so poutine is huge where I live now
9/10 would recommend, -1 point for not supporting trading cards.
DDR4 won't be available until 2015 for the mainstream market. DDR4 is currently only going to be available for servers.
Nope, no problems.

Just a quick question guys. If I buy a Humble Bundle but want to gift some of the game keys I already own and keep others I don't have, is that possible with the new system or can I only gift all or redeem all?

Sounds pretty awesome, actually! In the southern USA (where I'm from) we called the dish "Swamp Fries". Not quite the same, but close.
No no no, that's the point when you know steam has taken over.
Could you possibly use the SteamDB page as a reference?

BTW, infinite scrolling doesn't seem to work on that page you linked, Is it still not fully functional?

Does the retail version of Wheelman register on Steam? There is a seller on eBay with 2 new copies.

I know nobody cares, but I just fixed my desktop. Turns out I'd been getting crap performance from it for at least a year because the heatsink/fan popped off the motherboard. Now I can finally play the PC games I've been idling for trading cards!

Yeah, just Googling it it seems like that's a pretty standard foreigner take on Poutine, but cheese curds are very different than using just mozzarella cheese. A lot of chains like McDonalds and KFC do Poutine in Canada and it's always shitty because their gravy sucks and they don't use curds, they use whatever shredded cheese they have on hand. *shakes head*
If you're in the Southern US, you've got tons of awesome options though. Charcoal barbecue. Dry rub ribs. Fried Chicken. Grits--not the slurry porridge kind, the chunky kind. Cajun cuisine of all sorts. All the lovely Mexican cuisine that bleeds over--anything with offal meat. Actual heat.
Foodie-Steam-GAF is going to get moved to community LOL!
If it doesn't say Steamworks and it's not on this list (Valve official support kb), then it almost certainly doesn't activate on Steam.
We care! And that's great news fellow GAFfer, good to know. Enjoy your Backlog.
British cuisine is terrible, though. Posts like that are hard to read.
Sorry.

It would be nice if Valve made this link work. sigh
And not sure what's going on with the continuous scrolling there. Looks like it's having slight problems with the "advanced search" menu open. I'll check it out.
I'm taking the plunge into ACIV Gold when I get back to the house. I went to the store on base to get some Steam money and they had PS4s for sale, but they sold out of a new shipment of MX18 780m Alienware laptops.
If bros are buying high-end laptops over new consoles, I feel like Valve is going to become pretty healthy in the coming years.

Scotch eggs. Minced meat pies. Haggis. All the wonderful English-Indian dishes. Good molasses baked beans (see The_Monk, haven't forgot you!). Y'all got some good stuff. My father is English so I grew up with a lot of the bland English cooking and I totally sympathize--overcooked roast, bland potatoes, white bread with heinz sandwich spread. I know the torture of stodgy English cooking. You just need to go out and try some of the more cultural dishes and you'll like some of them.
Besides: You also have jelly babies and motherfucking jaffa cakes!!!
Please, Stump... I'm like one of those things from that movie that can't eat after midnight. HNNNG.
Man, this loving description of poutine gave me the largest smile. I can't wait to go back to Montréal sometime. Ugh this doesn't help with how blue I've been feeling all day :| /ot
Yeah, I'm not very adventurous with food, so it's my fault really. Will definitely be on the lookout for something new, though.
Also, Jaffa cakes are indeed fucking amazing. Just finished off a box of them a few hours ago. Nothing beats a Terry's Chocolate Orange, though.
