Two games from BundleStars are really good (King's Bounty and Star Wolves 2).

Did Valve specify the time of the card launch?
11 AM PST.
Sending you a PM now

I think card prices will go up for an hour or so, and then crash lower than it ever has.

It's a buyer's market.

Give things out for free and then try to sell them and this sort of happens.

Serious Sam is a wicked gahbidge series for chowdaheads.

I did a little bit of research, and it seems Sikkmod still isn't compatible with BFG. The modder can't find a way to make it work.
Apparently they added in pieces of the iDTech 5 engine, which made the old mods completely incompatible with BFG.

Oh well, i think i can't wait a bit longer for a Dishonored deal on steam... although i doubt it's going to get a 75% discount anytime soon.
I noted earlier in the thread that Hunted and Brink are worth snapping up if you're interested, as the former hasn't been cheaper than $12 and the latter hasn't been under $10 for 18 months now. Of the two, I'd opt for Hunted seeing as Brink is MP-focused with a dead community; neither are particularly good games, though.

It's on sale for 9.74 USD. They are calling it an anniversary sale.
It's up. It's just not the daily deal.
Hmmm? Doesn't look like anything is happening yet, except for DLC quest being half off.
Dishonored is Steamworks, so one of the alternative retailers will probably offer it for $7.50 or less during the Summer sale.

Where is the sale on RE: Revelations dammit!!!!
I refuse to pay full price for that, but I would still like to give it a shot.

You're going to be waiting a while. They haven't discounted Resi 6 on steam yet.

So. The question is.
Will we get 5 new games, because its just one update?
Will we get 10 new games, since it will be only once this week?
Or will we get more, since it will launch for everyone?

Both are equally likely: Brink was last $5 in 2011 and the same is true of Hunted at $10 (I misread its price history earlier
). Unlike Brink, though, Hunted has never seen anything more than a general sale discount -- it's the red-headed stepchild of Bethesda's catalogue.

Does GAF like DLC Quest? I'm suddenly VERY interested in it.

Well I could easily seem them adding the cards for their own games: Episode 1/2, L4D, Portal 1, CS 1.6, CS:S, etc.
So that's a handful right there.
This was supposed to be a large update, the only thing we know is it will be >5 games.
I'm expecting more than 10
Those would be redundant.
Half-Life is an example. The main characters stayed the same throughout the episodes, how do you create something visually distinct for both the badge and the cards? Then you have to consider emoticons and backgrounds as well.
It's worth the price. Fun little game.
I hope for Valve's sake it's not 13, otherwise some crazy people will link the number back to PC Gamer's Valve teaser and assume something Half-Life 3 related is afoot.

Not all the cards are based on characters, like "Destruction" from Portal 2. There's plenty of backgrounds, symbols, or objects they could use, and you could easily think of 100+ images to use as a wallpaper from any game.

people still buying my cards...awesome.
I'm guessing the days of making some decent coin on these is gone in 30 minutes. It'll be interesting to see what happens.

Hope Might & Magic Heroes VI is on sale. I enjoyed the demo.

Well supply will increase, but so will demand. Regular cards will probably get even cheaper, but I think foils may go up in price.
