4 LFD2 cards
4 HL2 cards
3 Really Big Sky cards
5 Faerie cards
4 Portal 2 cards
4 Team Fortress 2

For a grand total of 24 cards. Not a single foil card was dropped. FML.

EDIT: on the bright side I made more than 15€ from cards (actually a couple euros with TF2 items that I wouldn't have gotten if I hadn't launched the game to idle). Can't complain. Dat Summer Sale is already half paid for :D

I wonder what the foil drop % is, must be something absurdly low or we're just unlucky as hell.

Played Faerie Solitaire for 2 hours today didnt even know i owned the game, enjoyed it and will keep playing it.
Was it a Humble Bundle game or in a sale for around £0.50?

It's amazing how card costs spike in the first hour then drop.

What's amazing is how I made 40 bucks out of this cards thing so far, by selling both my cards and my cousin's Steam account cards.

Which is great, because it funds more games that will drop more cards.

It's an amazing "game".

After getting Civ V basically for free with Bioshock Infinite at Greenman gaming a while back, I just upgraded it to Gold edition for 2.50€. And just before I got Alan Wake for only a couple of bucks.

It's gonna be hard to go back to consoles games in terms of pricing after getting used to this.

And probably one of the most optimized engines I've ever seen.

I get like 350 FPS on CS:GO when I don't turn on V-sync. And the crazy thing is it only uses like 50% of each GPU.
Honestly, if they just fixed the loading stuff I'd have zero complaints with it. Does it need like streaming texture capability or something? Idk.

Where did you upgrade for 2.50€? Isn't it 5 USD. I didn't think 5 USD = 2.50€.

They made it free for like a week sometime last year, where all you had to do was install it and it would forever be yours. They've also done various giveaways but you would have had to have been actively following them to know those were taking place.

Games that are post Steam pipe seem to have much better loading.
It didn't seem to help me much with TF2, but maybe it'll be better on a new PC.

Also, another day, another endless cycle of periodic Steam update popups and restarts. I'm assuming other people are having this too?

Oh what the flap they removed the level 10 requirement for foil cards right after I spend actual money to level my account up to level 10.... :mad:

Thread is kind of getting drowned out with Xbox One discussion threads, if you guys want to come in and post a reply it would help people see the news.

I just got a hunter foil card. Hope it sells! :D

Also, I have a Serious Sam Double D coupon for 33% off if anyone wants it for free. I have no plans on using it.
 
Hnnng, if I get a foil L4D2 card, what should I do?

Sell it and buy out the last two levels of my Faerie Solitaire badge?

Or sell/trade it for a foil Faerie Solitaire card (and then repeat that eight times)?
