You idle in your games that support cards (HL2, Portal 2, Dota 2, TF2, Don't Starve, CSGO) and they should pop up in your inventory. Or you can play them but that is forbidden.

Same thing happened to me lol.
Same thing happened to me now that you mentioned it. I assumed I accidentally clicked on something, but I guess it's just Steam beta being beta.

I had over 100 windows in BPM opened with an error message. Wtf happened. My pc can't handle BPM
Because "Hey, that 'Delete inventory item' button isn't going to test itself, you know."

Good to know
Microsoft sent out the kill signal.
I wish they would test that "feature" with the coupons as well...
Wait a minute...what is the minimum one would have to invest in order to make a F2P DOTA2 account into a premium account?

Would laugh if it bugged out and started duplicating dota invites...

I just got another trading card drop for a game I had already maxed out on.
I bet the count gives you one more drop per week.

Finally, been waiting for windowed mode to play this game!
Check your badges page and see if your other games show more drops remaining?

Which game?
DOTA 2 and TF2 will give you cards for each 9 dollars you spend in store.

Starting now? Or from all time? If it's from all time, then they sure as shit owe me more cards.
Yeah it's from Dota.

Arkham City was fantastic, but they made Catwoman into such a bimbo which doesn't sit well with the rapey comments the thugs constantly make about her.

Aren't you all glad Greenlight didn't go and delay the release of such gems

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.
Nary a tower to defend in that Fast & Furious game! The utter indecency!
I had a weirdass moment some minutes ago because of this. I left my computer suspended and the TV and monitor turned off, then went out to buy groceries. I get back to a a loud as hell *HMMMMMMMMMMmmmm tum tuc... tummmmmmm HHHHMMMmmmmm*. I think I'm going to be greeted by some otherwordly creature before I realize I left the speakers on and Big Picture switched on all by itself and got the computer out of suspend.
I'm not shocked at the reaction, imagine if when Half Life 2 came out it was decreed "All PC games shall be steam codes".
Be glad we had something of a (retail forced) transition period.

Anyone want to bet on whether they'll release the Xbox One controller for Windows, or even bother to make it compatible? They actually made it a point to say they're using a new proprietary protocol.
Valve's controller can't come soon enough.

Next gen will be Wii-u (hoping it survives), PS4 (as long as it doesn't pull the BS microsoft is with the Xbox) and PC. This is coming from someone who bought a 360 at launch and waited 3 years before buying a PS3.

Watching Sessler use the controller got my hopes up. We'll see if they pretend like they can't ship a usb port. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=9kENCgBu2o4#t=38s

It doesn't really work like that I'm afraid. Good or not, companies will want you buying games and hardware on new consoles and PC gaming will be "dead" again in about a year or two. See EA's new engine.
Then of course it'll pick back up again and be glorious.
Circle of gaming.
Fortunately, we will all have 200 (or 2000 depending on the person) unplayed games on Steam, so it's not like we will be hurting through the next cycle.
Well I wouldn't be shocked if Gamestop doesn't sell the new xbox, so it should be dead on arrival.
I don't think the cycle will be nearly as bad. "Computer Games" aren't considered a separate market anymore.

Too true. It'll never be "dead dead", it never has been. Just "dead" as in "dead"....if you know what I mean. Heck you don't even have to buy games these days with efforts like cry of fear or minerva.
Maybe, but I think it'll be much more likely that the majority will just suck it up and start buying away
I guess I'm just old and jaded at this point.
Pretty much this, its the cycle of PC gaming, but we will endure.

Just put in an order for a new one through Amazon.
I'd like to have a spare on hand. With all the bad news about Xbox One, I'm going to assume a wired version of the X1 controller isn't gonna happen.
I disagree. I think the end of this generation has completely broken the cycle. The cycle existed because every generation the consoles took dedicated hardware and packed them into a box that was cheap and affordable and practically beat or rivalled the equally powerful but much more expensive pc machine for the time.
That's not the case any more. These consoles are launching against practically superior pc machines and this time pc's are nearly just as affordable and also carry with it many of the perks these consoles want to bring to the table, see digital entertainment, see live streaming and web browsing....all this is on pc for free.
PC gaming can't be declared anywhere near as dead as it was before.

PC gaming only ever died in the past if you didn't have PC blood running through your veins.
Steam sucked ass back then, though.
For the console gamer side of me, I could accept Xbox One's approach if it was Steam/Valve, not MS.
Yeah Steam did suck, but that was 2004. I can't believe the console are actually regressing in quality in 2013.

The main difference between Xbox One's approach and Steam's is the fact that the PC is hardware agnostic with forward-compatibility basically guaranteed.
Buying into Xbox One is like investing heavily in minidiscs.

Guys I never had a severe enough issue with Steam back in 2004 to still be lamenting it in 2013.
Does that make me insane?
