I also have the same number of hours on Portal 2, even thought in only played 16 hours.

Half Life 3 ARG confirmed.

 

[Maxwood]

Ok, I'm gonna open this TF2 booster pack in the hopes of a foil, and if no foil, then screw it, I'll just get the rest of the cards and craft a badge

Just sell it and buy a foil when the prices are low.

 

[Alien Bob]

I got three foils!


No I didn't, just a common demoman and two scouts. Oh well, 2 out of 9 down I guess...

 

[Grief.exe]

Yesterday I bought all 10 common mystery cards, :lol

I think its worth betting the value will go up once we learn what they do.

until now.. I still have yet to receive a foil or a booster pack. what am I doing wrong :/

This explains it best: http://steamdb.info/blog/20/

Long and short of it, there are 10 common Mystery Cards and 10 Foil Mystery Cards. Using their script in Chrome, you can see which cards you have and buy the missing ones on the marketplace.

Thanks for the link. I was able to install the extension and successfully purchase the common cards I was missing. So at this stage, "25" will be released when Valve are ready to let you craft the badge?

Finished the first Commander Keen after like 15 years. I could never do it as a kid. Hooray!

 

[Tak3n]

if anyone is remotely interested in the UK @ Amazon the collectors edition (with the statue) of ALiens Marines is only £10!

makes the £12 I paid from GMG now look very expensive

Ironically enough, from your username, I remember bashing the keyboard in frustration as a kid 20 years ago and somehow activated infinite jump. Finished all three games that way.

Really helpful info, thanks.

Looks like Build A greenlight 3 is live http://groupees.com/bagb3

Thanks for the heads up!

I was the same way. I would always get to the last level, and didn't realize I needed to shoot the chain holding up the rock shelf to smash the wolf in order to get the final item. I would always just try to run under him and die. Super frustrating, but now it makes a bunch of sense.

Doesn't register on steam. Otherwise I would have bought it.
Want that powerloader.

Colonial Marines is Steamworks. The retail copy I got at release needed Steam.

Are you sure? I thought the game was steamworks.

from what I have read you are not correct mate, most people are saying it is steam

 

[Tak3n]

Oh.
I just checked Steams list of retail redeemable keys and it isn't on it.
I must be missing something.

Edit: I must not buy it, no matter the price, can't support gearbox being twerps.

guys rogue legacy is pretty gewd

 

[Bernbaum]

So, in the 'Sonic Ultimate Collection' at Greenmangaming, it has 'SEGA Genesis & Mega Drive Classics' on the list of items included.

What does that mean? Are there additional Genesis/Megadrive games on top of the listed Sonic games?

No, it's just the launcher for the Genesis/Megadrive games and ends up being that single entry in your Steam list.

 

[AndyBNV]

So at this stage, "25" will be released when Valve are ready to let you craft the badge?

No one knows. They might have uploaded those cards in a batch, and someone uploaded another at the same time, meaning 25 is completely unrelated. Or it might be a missing one that you have to craft, or something yet to be released. They are "mystery" trading cards, after all

why is this an alan wake emoticon

that's hilarious

 

[Alien Bob]

Deerfest

 

[Grief.exe]

You fight the head of the Deer Fest float in the Signal DLC, which I just beat today.

Looks exactly like that emoticon flying at you, trying to kill you.

Going to count beating the DLC as part of my 5 games in July http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=609406

Salsa, put me to bed.

So you're saying that that everyone waits until I've gone to bed to give away games? I guess I'll have to stay up all night too!

It's heavily implied in the Bright Falls webseries that the Darkness loves the shit out of Deer Fest. The main character basically gets taken because he hit and runs one.

I wouldn't be surprised if we find out the Darkness is actually some sort of animal spirit.

 

[Maxwood]

Those look like some neat spoilers, guy's.
Thanks...

Photoshop request: someone alter the below posters to reflect the shenanigans around HL '3' that happen every time. I was surprised no one thought of this after the last false alarm thread.

I just did the same thing. Hope these mystery cards don't turn out to be a bust.

 

[dark_inferno]

Mystery Cards could relate to :

New Dota2 mode/DLC (Unlikely because it relates to Mystery game)
New TF2 mode/DLC (see above)
The Sci-Fi Game as F2P (Could happen. But Valve said they "canceled" the project.)
New Alien Swarm (Very Unlikely)
Hl3 (No... just no)
L4D3 (Many rumours in the last few weeks. So we might see that. Could be F2P and could be released Summer Sale.)
Ricochet 2 (They are working on it.)
Trading Card Game (Very very likely. Because Mystery Cards man.)

 

[JaseC]

The description of the Mystery Card plus John Cook's comment a couple of weeks ago that the trading card system moving out of beta was a step towards "an event we think everyone can be excited about" suggests to me that they're definitely tied to the Summer Sale in some way.

As you wish. It was a lot of hard work.

Mistery cards are probably related to some sort of summer sale hunt. The map thing on them looks like those old banners

It's more likely to relate to some community event rather than be advertising for a specific game. Especially with the timing of it being so close to the summer sale. Also isn't Ricochet 2 just their way of talking about Half Life 3?

 

[JaseC]

Yeah, Ricochet 2 isn't actually an active project. Valve's website doesn't even acknowledge the existence of the original game.

 

[nogoodnamesleft]

It's eleven AM.
Silly GAF.

its 7:40pm

[Rickenslacker]

So I bought the current set of mystery cards in the hopes that it ends up paying off.

Spoiler

It won't.

Gabe said they are working on it.

Why wasting Steam DB place for that? Never saw that befor.

 

[JaseC]

It was used facetiously to reference Half-Life 3 as Doug Lombardi doesn't let Gabe refer to the game by its true title. The phrase "giant story arc" makes this quite clear.

How can you see the different mystery cards? All I see on the market is one type of mystery card starting from €0,70.

An interviewer jokingly referred to "Ricochet 2" as being the game that everyone's waiting for. Both he and Gabe knew he was referring to Half Life 3 but I think it's easier for Gabe to talk about the devlopment by referring to it as "Ricochet 2" than mentioning "Half Life 3" and creating even more of a frenzy.

Also I'm not sure what you mean about wasting Steam DB places. It's not like they have limited space in there.

Yeah maybe im just hyped that it could be another Valve game.

Damn you Valve.
