price it high!
I think it's just a rumor. Some recent games have really slow drops. I just had one drop for BTR1 in about 8 minutes.

I tried for The Basement Collection. I think I have enough posts but maybe not at that point. Plenty enough in the other Summer Sale threads.

These Steam threads move too fast. 9 pages already?

Have you played Giana Sister? If so, can I ask for your impressions?
Is that shame on your played list worth the 30 cents you're going to get?

Wow how about adding cards for some good games next time.

I think this is the moment that I no longer feel obligated to get all the card drops, even if it means I'll never see another booster pack. If all the bundle fodder is going to start getting drops, it'll be a Sisyphean task to keep up.

Gaben's work.
Just a few levels and I like what I'm playing so far, if you're looking for a pure platform game this is a great buy.
Xelios has a good write up on it.
edit: Also like to point out that they now have released a patch that includes an easier difficulty for the more casual gamers.
Yeah, I got to that point when the Summer Sale started. It became a massive chore and the value dropped a ton, so it just wasn't worth it for me anymore.
Does idling multiple games work? I thought they made it so it didn't?
As long as they're not windowed mode or something, it'll work.

Excellent show.
Are you implying Eversion isn't a good game? And I loved the Fly'n demo, though I haven't started the full game yet. Beat Hazard is a fun game (at least on my phone), DLC Quest is a nice little thing, Retro/Grade is extremely cool, and Noitu Love 2 is another fun title.

Sold. Thanks so much. I was keen during the Summer sale but wanted impressions first. Lucky for me, it's cheaper now than it was during the sale period.

Fulfilling its greatest purpose.
It worked for me a couple of days ago. Idling Bastion,Super Scribblenauts and Terraria while I watched the end of the Tour De France. I ended up with a drop in each game
I remember reading an interview where they said they increased the amount of time you needed to get cards if they saw you were idling in multiple games. Significantly so.
Aw, really? I suppose that does make sense. Goes along with their anti-idling TF2 thing as well. Oh well.
it still makes sense if you wanna just leave the PC on while going someplace

No chance in hell I'll play again the final acts of Bit.Trip Runner for some measly cards!
Ok, perhaps I'll play a little.

Yeah, at least they're not completely cutting it off for idling multiple games.

Check this morning and I have six more games with cards! Where were you yesterday steam? I could have gotten in on the Skyrim summer sale card bubble!
I'm sure these new cards will be worth cents at most.

Everyone picked a sweet spot and stuck to it for my first beat hazard card.... until a dude with the nick "The Killjoy" undercut by 50%. Yes... yes, you are.
Edit: and of course, now the waterfall has started. Sigh.
I was this close to selling my card for the price we seemingly all had agreed on too, the 3 dudes before me had all sold theirs...

So I check my Badge page just now (and the thread) and realize I have 6 more games to idle for cards. Just when I'm out...THEY PULL ME BACK IN! I also love the fact that one of those games is Secret of the Magic Crystal.
Holy fuck guys.... I just played some Blade Symphony.
For an early access game this has some incredible potential. I'm having serious Bushido Blade flashbacks.
This would probably also appeal to you if you enjoyed Dark Souls pvp.
It's that good.
I'm probably going to make a thread soon. I'm in love.

I won that as a "Mystery Game" yesterday. At the time, I was just happy it wasn't Bad Rats! Then suddenly... CARDS EVERYWHERE~

What the hell do I do? Play my games or idle for all these cards for games I own?

You can idle in a game and play another at the same time.
There is a Killing Floor card with the same name: http://steamcommunity.com/market/listings/753/Stalker?filter=killing floor
Just wanted to say thanks for mentioning this, was waiting for it to go down to a decent price and the steam sale was pretty underwhelming.

I won it as a grand prize in a 4 are Bad Rats 1 is Secret of the Magic Crystals giveaway. It was like winning a kick in the balls instead of a punch in the balls.
Exactly my problem. I've been playing Arkham Asylum all day. Everyone I know has had no luck with card drops when idling multiple games, so I don't want to do that. I want to idle...but I want to go back to my game...guess I'll idle and watch some anime for the rest of the day...
