You probably listed them a bit too low.

I was just undercutting JaseC :|
Oh well happy somebody got a bargain if I messed up.
OK I know I'm super late to the party but Steam is fantastic! I don't have much of a PC but I've found a bunch of great pick up n play, low sys-req games for cheap. Kind of what I loved about XBLA, plus a bunch more great features.
Anyway, I'm interested in buying Steam games, so if anyone has any to unload, I'm your guy. Looking for Amnesia as well as any good point n click adventure games. Or make suggestions, thanks!

I also remember what happened in the Diablo 3 RMAH where folks made hundreds of dollars in the first 8 hours or so that it was live, and after that the market crashed. Not that I'm expecting the same thing to happen here but, unless one is well versed with the TF2 market to be able to gauge values properly, I'm not sure it's worth the risk to hold on to them in the hope of higher future profits.
Getting fair trades for your hats is a PITA though. More so if you have to make multiple trades to convert hats into other hats/keys and then those into games.

Just checked my in game time. Spec Ops at 5 hours on normal difficulty. Steam counter has it at 9 hours. >_> Left it open and idle as I was doing something else. Will go for the rest of Intel over time.

Before you list any item, just search the market for the same thing and undercut the lowest price if you want a quick sale. For example if you have the Skyrim hat, search for it by name and you'll get the prices of all the currently listed Skyrim hats. Then decide accordingly.
I don't have a mic. If that's not an impediment to the game (I think it has voice commands, right?) and you don't mind, I can do so. I've never played it before.
The game time also doesn't count your deaths. I had 10 hours on Steam and 5 hours 47 min on the game counter by the time I finished. (Edit: Insert joke about the endless loading screens. lol)
Perfect advice! Thanks!
I'm playing Binary Domain now, after finishing Mark of the Ninja earlier today. It's a nice game, but the controls don't feel quite right with K&M, specially aiming. Even Spec Ops felt... I don't know, tighter. And I'm finding it hard to enter cover in the heat of battle.
Am I doing something wrong? I've heard the game was fantastic to control, but I don't see it at all.

Nah I loved the game but the controls are clonky..try with a controller if you have one. Game is good though!
I think they still haven't fix it/put the option to turn off mouse smoothing. You could try the fix shown here.
I finished it with K&M months ago, after playing it awhile I got used to the floaty mouse aim but if you have a controller I suggest just play it with that.
You're better off playing it with a controller, but KBM is serviceable.

Congrats to Nabs for the being the first one to message me about Homefront. I didn't expect it to be so popular.
Edit: Everything else is gone.

What games are you getting?
Question: I kind of sort of want to get DMC. Y'all think it'll go on sale shortly after release? I think GMG is offering for like 35? But it is Capcom, and their titles never seem to go on sale consistently after.

Ni no kuni and hokuto musou 2.
As for DmC the lowest it would go during the summer sale is 50% at $25. As is for a newly released game 30-35$ sounds fine imo.

Yeesh.....makes me glad i'm mostly a pc gamer now. Steam sales have spoiled me. :c
And thanks Sarcasm for the pm about Dead Island. I'll try out the config tool later today and see if it helps.

Serious Sam 3 is 75% off ($10) over at GG.
Not sure if it's been posted already, but you can get an 80% off coupon for the Tiny and Big: Grandpa's Leftovers at http://www.gutschein-des-tages.com/ Install the app on your iOS/Android device and click "Gutschein einlosen" to get a code and redeem it on Steam.
It's a strange thing- like anything at Launch (if not on sale) is a complete pass. And then coupled with Steam sales, it almost feels like a mistake buying anything at launch. So many deals!
After slowly transitioning into PC gaming, Console exclusives even feel slightly less appealing. The fact that an entire backlog of recent PC titles can cost so much less than a single console title still feels crazy.
I'm hoping Kentucky Route Zero shows up soon- excited about that being Greenlit! Probably could just buy it off the site, but I keep hesitating!
I don't have a mic either, so this might work out well, lol. My Steam ID is Cheddahz
Iron Brigade doesn't have Steam achievements
My Double Fine collection will never feel complete.
There is a tiny speckle of hope.
I know that this is a bit of late reply, but apparently DF will be talking with Microsoft regarding a SteamWorks version of Iron Brigade.

Just finished Deus Ex: HR with all the endings, now I'm not sure if I should just dive into The Missing Link or let it rest a bit and get to it in a few weeks. What would SteamGAF do?
Very short opinion on the game: slightly overrated, but a very good game. The writing was so damn naive though.

Use your 360 pad. It should be your default solution every time KBM feels off in a console port.
Oh boy, now you gave me all this potential excitement.

I dont understand this, i have several TF items in the inventory but i cant sell them. No option, it says inventory is empty.

They must be labelled as genuine items.

Thanks for Homefront. It was the one game I could never pull the trigger on.

It's the one game that might make you pull the trigger on yourself though.
JK JKm it's just a relelntlessly hated game.

Not if Future Soldier gets to me first.

In my playthrough that I'm still forcing myself through, I'm taking a picture of every piece of advertising I can find. It's the most fun part.
I have faith in him. If he survived Quantum Conundrum, he can survive much less.

Yeah, it's not even close to QC tier bad. I was entertained by Homefront for the like 4 hours it lasts.

I'm sure we all have fond memories of the Battle of Hooters Bulge.

Damn, NightSky is boring as shit. Only about 10% of the screens are somewhat challenging.
