Post a screen? I'm not sure, honestly, but I'm curious as to what someone else considers "overly saturated".
Kinguin.net has it for 15$, so...no.
I'd recommend HD Second Encounter over this.
a) it's cheaper
b) contains levels from HD First Encounter
c) much more fun
d) doesn't have any problems with connecting to other players and hosting the game like the third one has.
I don't know since I haven't played State of Decay, but if its bothering you there is probably an INI fix or SweetFX.
It doesn't pay off and the games aren't free either, in the sense that you'll never make up the money you spent to get to that high of a level. Level ~160 takes around 1,400 badge crafts, including a lot of foils. You're looking at thousands of dollars and the money you could have made selling the cards instead.
And the drop rate doesn't increase as much as you think; I'm at level 111 and I get two, maybe three booster packs per week if I'm lucky. That's with 270 games eligible (70 I still need to idle), and most booster packs you're lucky if you make 50 cents from selling the cards. You're looking at a decade of booster packs daily to break even on level 150+. We could discuss emoticons and background rewards, but as 99% of them are sitting at 3 cents (1 cent profit), they're more of a nuisance in the inventory than relevant.
At level 111 my advice to anyone is to get to whatever level gets you the showcases you want for your profile (usually 20/30 max since most showcases suck) and then sell all your cards. Now that will net you some free games.
Yes. Welcome to Ubisoft titles.
Amazon has AC3 for $7.50 (Steam key)
Folklore on Steam would be pretty great so I could tell everyone to buy it and appreciate it.

$10 max for me and wait for Humble bundles on indie games.
But but... I want those levels! I'm one of those people that can't seem to get booster packs drop, I got 5 total and I'm at lvl 30 now I have somewhere around 100 eligible games. So 3 booster packs a week seems like dream to me, sweet dream
no way I'll ever get to 100 level, I'm done with this costly metagame

Boom! Bitch-slapped!
Check the BST thread, I've seen spare Blacklist codes from the NVidia promo go for as low as $12. $30 is too high!

It's going to be in a Humble Charity Bundle very soon.
is this an idiotic reason for you?

no, on ps3, the game look really good and I hear great comment here on GAF but the price is still high, and TLR is only 2,99 on amazon
It was on HB just a while ago, don't you know it?
bad joke, I know. I'm one of victims, so it could be forgiven
I didn't say there wasn't a point of dimishing returns. I don't know exactly what the sweet spot is, but I know I didn't spend a whole lot of money. I mainly traded friends for cards. I think I maybe bought a total of perhaps $10 or so of cards to get to level 30 and I definitely have made more than that in the booster packs I've gotten.

Installed the xinput wrapper and steam see the controller in big picture mode, I start SR3 and I can skip the intro vids but when I get to the main menu I still can't do a single thing with the controller.

TLR is really great game: glorious battle system, many characters, some even good and not that bad story also it's really long if you do optional stuff and so so cheap, that it's impossible not to get it.

So I picked up Dark Souls the other day. Two quick questions:
1. Is there anyway to play the game without using GFWL?
2. My laptop monitor's max resolution is 1600x900, should I still use the DSiFix and is that resolution supported in the fix?

The games I get cards for are entirely random but, as I'm sure you know, you do have to have gotten all your drops from that particular game to be eligible for boosters for that game.
So far I've gotten booster packs for:
Resident Evil 6
XCOM
Gone Home
Trine 2
Killing Floor
Brutal Legend
Skyrim
Terraria
Half Life 2
McPixel
And that's just in the last month looking at my sales.
At 20-30 you can still come out ahead fairly easily with all the games there are with cards now; my post was about the level 160 guy you said was getting free games. At level 100+ one is never going to break even.

I just must not be fortunate on my Booster Packs. I am level 40 and I get a maybe one, if I'm lucky 2, Booster Packs per month.
Could be another "BTA starts at $25" like the WB Bundle. I'm hoping.

With many games you don't even have to be in the title screen. I'm on a weak laptop at the moment and I can't run most of the games in my library so I'll just idle on the configuration window or the "Your computer is shit and can't run this game" pop-up. As long as your status is "in game" you'll get cards.

I've recieved booster packs upon levelling up and / or crafting badges myself, so I think your own activity is probably the bigger factor in how they are distributed.
not that it should matter, in the end it's just another piramid scheme anyway.

That's exactly how it is for me! I get booster packs only when I buy cards and craft badges. But many people in steam thread don't have this problem. So, it's probably just random being lucky or unlucky thingie.
Caved in. Bought The Witcher 2 (I already had it outside of Steam but DAT PRICE was soooooo good) and... the three Max Paynes. MP3's price was too fucking good to avoid. And considering I haven't played the first two yet (I know, I know) I decided to buy them too. So yeah.
Feels good man.

That's so good, appropriate for booster pack problem too!

Did that. It's wierd on the Steam front page it says $7.49 but when I click the game tile and go to the game page, it lists it at $12.49.

Yep, crafting badges. You also get experience points for every year you're on Steam and when you reach library milestones.
