There won't be a cap since there are gonna be a ridiculous number of badges that can be acquired. The speed with which people level will slow though as each level from 50-60 will require 600xp, and then 700xp per level from 60-70 and so on.

I know, I meant currently since there is a max limit before more cards are added and I assume the people who are leveling up will be getting those new badges as soon as they can

How much are you guys throwing in your account for the Summer Sale? Looking through the games I want but don't own. I think I can make it by with $50-$75

I basically want:
the Battlefield 2 Collection
Metro Last Light
COH2(Doubt itll go under $30 like Id want)
Remember ME(Tho I've already played through it on Xbox, I'd add it to my collection for under $20)

Not really a huge list of stuff I want.

Valve is paying for the summer sale this year.

(Don't throw too much into your account. We still have Amazon/GMG to watch for.)

So I'm really interested in Dark Souls II however after getting my ass handed to me in Demon's Soul I was very hesistant to buy Dark Souls.
Is Dark Souls somewhat easier than Demon's Soul ? I understand that challenge is a big part of the game but Demon's Souls was really unfun in that regard (the game felt great to me though).

How far did you go in Demon's Souls? I'd say that they are about equally challenging, but then again, I didn't find either particularly difficult. The few opening locations in Dark Souls are indeed easier than their equivalent in Demon's Souls, though.


Everybody who likes Homeworld or sci-fi games in general should definitely get this.

Is it still worth going through the Witcher 1 before I get to 2? I was playing it a bit last night and enjoyed it but its a little dated. I can tell the story is going to be decent.

I didn't go very far and my memory's kinda hazy, I played it 3 years ago. I remember a giant armored dude and a giant spider in some cavern. Also I might have built my character like shit, I think I took the starting class with a club and I remember being exhausted after a few hits.

Both are great games, 1 is better IMO.

I'm guessing one of them will be Snuggle Truck
Could be that (meh) or Monster Trucks Nitro (fun) or Off-Road Drive (zzzzz) or something hilarious like Farming Simulator 2011.

I also guess Nuclear Dawn and Faerie Solitaire.

Trine 2 for a buddy so I can finish up the story in co-op!

Edit: Does it work for overriding to get the DLC?
 

Kipp

4 minutes in and I regret adding Strike Suit Zero to my account.

Off to the dump you go.

Atrocious controls and bizarre sub-hd visuals. I seletected 1080p as the resolution but the game looks like it's rendering at 480p.

Oh man, I just got this bug as well. Infinity looks great, while Zero looks... well...

I think I got mine randomly from the Holiday 2011 thingy, it's been so long I don't even remember, lol.

Dupy gave me TL2 so I felt like I should give back some love too. ;)

I wish I was on Steam during the holiday 2011 sale. Everyone seemed to get some awesome games for free.
 
Valve should add card to bad rats just to troll us, just add to the misery of adding cards to shitty indie games, plus I might finally redeem that gift copy I have.

Stupid Steam client question: when I'm viewing my library in detailed view, if I scroll the side bar all the way to the top, after about a second it snaps back down a little bit (like, 10% of the way down). This only seems to happen if my top category is collapsed. Anyone know why this is and if there's a way to turn it off?

That happens to me too. I thought it was my mouse, glad to see its a weird steam glitch.

Gaben, please excrete upon us the Summer Sale, from your most glorious anus! And may the 75%+ off games be as plentiful as corn nuggets.

At some point, I had a similar glitch but the view snapped all the way to the top of the list.
