The thing for me is, I don't really mind the cards and badges thing since it seems nicely optional aside from filling up certain threads. But, when I look at my friends list I am reminded of how it worked when hat drops/idling started in TF2. A day or two ago I saw someone playing a game and I was like HEY WASSUP HOW U LIKE DAT GAME and they're like YO DAWG I AM JUST IDLING FOR THE BADGES and I'm like AWW OK.
Gone are the days when the few people who still play games on Steam are actually playing them so you can talk about the games.

Killing it lives opens up the Cathedral (white light) and Hell (normal hatch). Hell was the end to the original game and is now a dead end, but you can get some good items from finishing it with each character. The Cathedral is the new endgame added in the DLC. Won't spoil anymore than that. Have fun
Damn, just after I wrote a huge check, I see that Paradox games are on sale when I just watched a video about Mount and Blade: Warband and Napoleonic Wars. It looks a lot better than War of the Roses.
Games with big mod communities always kick ass too. Nice to see a Game of Thrones mod in the works.

Mount & Blade: Warband is incredible, I'd highly recommend picking it up. And I'm sure it'll have a daily deal over the weekend.

Is Sword of the Stars 2: EE playable?
Yea, I think I'll pray for a daily deal then. It seems like a game you could just play over and over again.

Playable? Yes. Good? Ehh..hard to tell. Honestly the first SWOTS with all the add-ons is still vastly superior game.

I've played over 100 hours. I come back to it every couple months and get hooked all over again.

Am I the only one who doesn't like Big Picture mode? It looks so... tacky.

I mean, I did the whole playing games for drops, but if it was a game I'd played before and I liked it, I just replayed it. Hell, I replayed Portal 2 and HL2 in their entirety, cleaned up some more chievos for others and am still working my way through Brütal Legend and Borderlands 2.
I hate it too and found it innecesary at least for the things that I play in steam

Haha I'm one of those people. We all changed our price to 10 at the same time. Looks like we already got undercut though.

Good point. That, and there's currently nothing on my Steam wishlist that I especially want.

To be fair, a lot of major companies actually do this same sort of thing. They make agreements with their competitors about prices in order to keep them all afloat.

I've lost a lot of hours to Faerie Solitaire and I don't quite understand why, but it's got a certain charm to it.
people are getting too obnoxious with prices (and the card system)
I saw it as a funny way to collect things, but when you start bitching that you will lose money for something that technically you got free (I know that you paid for said game, but in the end, you never did it for the cards) is when I really start to hate the system

I share the same opinion, but I'm not in the target audience.
Nope. Though I wouldn't say tacky but it has all the usual concessions that are made to accommodate a controller as a control and input device. Still as a plus point when it works taking screenshots with a pad is super handy.
You find very subjective things to worry about.
Stupid 3DS has ruined the sale for me

Been doing a Bioshock run. I beat Infinite the other day, re-installed and replayed through pretty much all of the original Bioshock today, just have the final escort mission and bossfight to go through, and am currently installing Bioshock 2, which I've never played through.
Since Microsoft pretty much nuked the GFWL Marketplace from their own client, how easy or hard is it to obtain Minerva's Den? I've often read the DLC is pretty much the best part of Bioshock 2.

Your top ten game list makes no sense by the way.
Did you just idle in all of these games?
I find it hard to believe you played 450 hours of Skyrim, 400 hours of Chessmaster, 200 hours in both Indiana Jones adventure games.

You might as well wait a couple weeks and see what happens with Bioshock 2 updates on Steam Database.
It looks like they are, at the very least, adding in Steam achievements. Best case scenario, they are removing Securom and GFWL as well.

46 games with 100+ hours of playtime each, with that not being even close to the highest number, is unbelievable.
I believe he was at least idling with those Lucasart games judging by how both The Dig and Loom have exactly 245 hours and both Indiana Jones games have exactly 227 hours.
I accidentally left the launcher for DCUO open after playing around 30 mins of it and now it looks like I've put some meaningful time into that abomination
I don't think he was trying to insult him, he's just pointing out weirdness in his game profile. And isn't that the point of having a profile, to draw attention to your gaming habits and activities?
edit: Like this dude http://steamcommunity.com/id/xelios with his 1793 games and Cave Story achievements what a weirdo
Are there any good Witcher UI mods (other than this one) that make things more readable when playing on a couch instead right up to the monitor?

Time to delete your account.
Not trying to be rude at all, if it came off that way I apologize.
Just generally curious how that happened.
This is exactly right, I always check people's Steam profiles and see what games they enjoy.
That doesn't work. I sell stuff, buy more cards with it. Can't help myself.
Level 15 woo.
Well could be worse. I could flip out and derail the thread about a blot of my Steam profile.

I'm installing Bioshock 2 now and it's showing Steam Achievements on my library page.
Edit: There are even listings for Minerva's Den steam achievements. It's not on the store yet but it's gotta be coming soon.
