Pretty sure we didn't. Damn I would have tried it for free.
I've just learned to suck it up , else I'd of never played the new Anno 2070 or Settlers 7.
I think FC3 Blood Dragon was uPlay also, and if I recall it lost all my saves TWICE Not fun replaying the tutorial twice.
Uplay really does suck, looking back now.
Maybe in 5 years my summer sale cards will be worth more than 0.08c =/
Well it looks like due to the snow, I will be stuck at work... time to clean out my closet some more...

So I bought the two tribes bundle, but I only want Toki Tori 2.+. How can I "extract" the other games and gift them to someone else?

After a successful first giveaway I decided to do another one in celebration of my not being a cheap ass and BTA-ing on a HB for once. HB gift links, so have your login info handy.

Mmh, excuse me if I'm reading you wrong but it is stated in the Christmas card faq that they will disappear once the event is finished.

Say, how long does Modbot count on "you must have given a game once"?

The other games will only show up as gifts in your inventory if you've purchased them previously.

Ok thanks, didn't know that.
Only three important news today so far:
1) Coke Zero has three times the Sodium that Regular Coke has. Zero KCal, Zero Carbs, but Three Times the Salt. Coke Zero is Salty! That's the taste I could never figure out, and it's straight up salt.
2) I upgraded my internet to 200mbit but my Asus RT-N16 router has a 140 mbit WAN-LAN Throughput limit, so I'll prolly just downgrade back to 100mbit.
3) Assassin's Creed Liberation HD UPlay copy is 4 dollars on GreenManGaming

I played both Liberation (last year on Vita) and AC3 (this year) and of the two, I preferred Liberation. Both suffer from the same kinds of issues--overzealous guards in town attacking you en masse if you so much as blink funny, really annoying mission design at times, frustrating side missions (hello almanac pages and timed chases). But because Liberation is substantially shorter and arguably a more likeable character/setting, it's more tolerable than in AC3. Liberation misses out on AC3's naval missions, which a lot of people liked, so there is that.

Smart. I got it bundled just so I could get the white Vita in a black friday sale. It's serviceable as a handheld game but I don't think it'll hold any value as a pc/console experience unless the changes are more than cosmetic.

Is that bad? I drink about 1l of Coke Zero every one or two days.
Are you really getting 200mbit though? I've never got the maximum speed out of any provider.
Those summer cards aren't worth anything lol
I think diet soda may actually be worse than regular, especially if that sodium content is correct.
1/3 of a 600ml bottle has 1% of your daily intake of salt.
That can't be good, if you take into consideration that we already oversalt every single food we eat.

Question: can I only craft a snow globe bade with the 10 specific cards listed? Presumably the cards I get from voting will match up with those specific 10 if so?
Holy crap, that's nuts. I didn't expect it to be that low until the fall sale next year. Shame it's not steam.
Yes. If I plug the Fiber Modem (Fiber internet doesn't really use Modems, but you know) directly into my computer, I get 190/50. If I plug it to the router, I get 135/50.
The Phone Company is delivering a new router today (I have a company provided router, but I don't use it) and that will probably support the 200mbit throughput, but it'll probably have shitty software and shitty support for a high number of simultaneous sockets open anyway.
I wish but sadly there isn't. Bombernauts is coming 2014 though.
No. It has three times the salt but it is still low in Salt. Plus salt is not bad for you unless you have some pre-existing existing medical problems.
Yeah, but there's a finite supply since they only dropped for a week and a half. Eventually it'll begin to dry up and prices will increase.
Wait... so i have to drink 20 litres of Coke Zero a day to achieve the recommended intake of salt. I think that is pretty low, considering that recommendations are always on the lower side...
28mg of salt per 200ml of liquid is low?
I guess? It's worse if you have Blood Pressure problems, but I don't know, I can actually taste it now...
Every three votes gets you one of the ten snow globe cards. You need one of each to make the badge, but voting might get you duplicates of the same card so you're not guaranteed to get them all without trading/purchasing them.
Took the plunge! Especially considering I can get an even deeper discount by selling these cards
Can't stop that train.

It was probably already asked, but are the sales going on for 48 hours like they normally do? Just want to make sure I'm safe on holding off from grabbing MGS for a little bit longer.

The Dailies run for 48 hours, yes.

The steam marketplace interface is so horrible, I hope Valve revamps it soon.
With 50,000 cards on the market and only an aesthetic reason to own the badges, I don't think you will ever see a price increase that is beyond irrelevant.
The demand for them is just so low.

Someone buy my Snow Globe card, goddammit! I'm .50 cents short of being able to afford Space Hulk!

It really is horrendous.
I bought Conflict: Desert Storm for Steam on GMG for about $1.40 after the coupon. I got it just for the nostalgia. I rented it a few time from blockbuster for my PS2 back when I was a kid.
What? This was on steam all this time? Thanks for the heads up!
The number of active Steam users ballooned by 30% over the past year and the badge will be coveted by new users interested in the system simply because they missed the boat on it. Supply will start to run thin at some point -- certainly not soon, but in the future.
