When is the best time to sell cards ?

To sell ASAP if its a new release most of the time. Cards for the most part just go down in price. There's times of them going up but it's not that often of a occurrence to judge.

Sell ASAP make bases during sales is the best overall rule.

Outbreak on the PC would be one of those games that would have a dedicated fanbase for a long time. Considering the work fans did to get the ps2 version back online proof is already there.

Outbreak is another one Capcom needs to break out, the potential is through the roof on the PC. File 3 would print money.
 
They usually go up in price a little before a major sale, but it's so little that it's barely worth it to hang onto them.

Before it gets in a bundle. Exceed cards being the one exception.



Thanks
 
Cancelling that Morrowind playthrough I'd wanted to do. Props to Deus Ex for still being very playable today. Morrowind just isn't. I can't do it.

I'll do Oblivion instead.

As someone who counts Morrowind as one of his favorite games of all time, I can totally understand this. It's very hard to get adjust to some of its mechanics, like combat, especially if you're used to Oblivion's or Skyrim's systems.

I have incredibly fond memories of Morrowind on Xbox even though I didn't finish it. I remember throwing in the towel one day when I whiffed melee attacks on cliff racers over and over again. There doesn't happen to be a combat overhaul, does there?

Ya tried Morrowind Overhaul? Don't think it modifies the gameplay, tho, or at least enough to make the game playable for you.

I have. And no, it only changes graphics and sound, which are not the parts that really need fixing. The sounds are still amazing. Graphics are rough but hey, I've played rougher.

It's just everything about my interaction with the world feels so awful. I could watch someone play Morrowind, but I cant do it myself.

You know, I scoffed at Skywind as unnecessary, but... maybe it will be my only chance to play Morrowind until the remaster 40 years from now.

Played some of 100% Orange Juice. It reaffirms my love of board games and card games. Anybody know of any other board/card game types on steam?

Has anyone updated to the beta client and tried running Idle Master yet? According to the announcements for today's update, there was a rather interesting line in the patchnotes:

Fixed Steam thinking games were still running if you had a particular 3rd party application installed on Windows 8, due to it leaving a process around even after game exit

A friend of mine is fairly convinced that this is a patch to plug the hole for Idle Master, though I feel like other than the wording of "certain 3rd party application installed", this sounds more like a bug to prevent issues like Arma 3 assuming it is still running when a temp file is left sitting in the background processes. Just curious if we've had a test dummy so I can settle that one.

I'd do it myself but I've had some messes occur when switching back and forth between beta and regular branches and don't feel like puttin up with that in the event that it does leave a mess.

I dunno, they specified Windows 8 only so it doesn't seem like they targeted Idle Master.

Idle Master terminates its processes properly. It's probably Origin or Uplay.

I assume that you are correct and your friend is not. The issue here is "still running" even when the application is closed. This should have nothing to do with Idlemaster.

About as I expected. The inclusion of Windows 8 in specific, as well as the phrasing of the game still being active after a game was closed seemed to point in the direction of a genuine bugfix. Was just curious to see if anyone had run the science on that. In any case, I guess we can consider this myth busted for now~

I've actually experienced this bug in the not too distant past. I concur that it is probably a legitimate bug fix, not an Idle Master fix.

I liked Risk Factions on the 360 but judging by the reviews the pc port sounds broken/dead(player wise)

Dat first review:
It is almost impossible to get a game online but that is exactly what it's like with the board game. You buy the game, set up the board and can't find anyone who wants to play it so in that respect they have nailed it. it is a perfect recreation of what it's like to own the board game. 5 Stars.

I think I'll do a bit of searching. I hope there's something like Culdcept. I loved that game on the ps2.
 
Man I didn't even notice Human Revolution doesn't have a store page anymore. Shows how often I check. It feels weird to own a game without one.

Just curious, what's wrong with it?

The pay stuff really puts the player at an advantage over a non-paying.

I am lvl 12..have no quests..dailies are 2 quests. Grinding for me is 1% exp per kill..unless I buy premium. They do the old method of severely limiting bag space..more so than other F2P games.

This game is pretty much P2W. Cheap incentives and huge advantage to paying $$$$.

If you build your character correctly you can avoid most of those early game hang ups. Pick a weapon type and make that as one of your primary stats, then only use that weapon.

Gross. Why do they think manipulative shit like that will fly on Steam?
 
I might be biased, but I may have saved the best for last...
