I don't think it's anything, or maybe we're both already dead.

I need to wait about 20 more days till I can use the Market lol.
What cards would I have to look for?
That wasn't an spoiler at all.
I've spent all day farming cards as well. Why play games when you could be making money to buy games you won't play?
You can trade cards you have multiples of for them to other gaffers or sell your doubles and triples to buy the ones you're missing.
Or you can just buy the cards off the market straight up. Under the Community tab on Steam, Market.

Join the club. I did that as well and finally have been doing work on it. I had around 750 or so before the summer sale. Got it around 550 now and that's after constantly updating it. Hope you fare just as good!
Oh nice. Thanks.
Maybe she's one of these people!

In retrospect I should have started farming sooner, as I did prior to the Autumn Sale (I managed to make something north of $120 in the ~2 weeks leading up to it). Oh well.

thanks. i was hoping i could get a GAFtown discount but i suppose they're pretty coveted
Halloween, chistmas, summer, and winter?? 4 or 5 I think.
Working on the Pillar of Community badge will get you to level 3. If you can level it up to Community Ambassador (exampleI think you need to complete 22 out of the 26 tasks for it) you'll probably be partway through level 4.

Thanks mate, Xenogears is in my backlog.
I recall reading that the game had budget problems which resulted in the final events being told in the form of text correct?
Not that that's deterring me from playing it, but for some reason I want to play Planescape: Torment before playing Xenogears.
There are occasional ones for smaller American holidays from time to time. Usually last a weekend.
Summer/Winter, Halloween, Autumn/Spring and Holiday/Christmas.
edit: B10 like a dozen times
I should also add that Valve may do additional sales through the year for whatever reason. For example, a sale celebrating the launch of Big Picture mode, an indie games sale, and specific publisher sales that last for a weekend.

screen tearing it is not a bug per se. you may want to activate vsync but that can introduce input lag, I'm waiting for the asus gsync monitor to solve all kind of problems with vsync/screen tearing and input lag.

You're completely right on that. The game got a budget cut during its development and they had to rush the 2nd half of it in order to fit the story. The first disc is glorious from beginning to end, the storytelling is top notch and the battles are semi-dynamic. Its plot is extremely well done and deep (the creators were aiming for an hexalogy, just imagine that) and has a strong emphasis on religion, psychology and politics. To this day I still haven't found any other game that blends those elements in such a unique and convincing way.
The 2nd disc unfortunately is basically just story telling with some eventual exploration here and there. It's not that bad actually, but compared to the 1st half of the game, it is pretty abysmal how different it plays.
The experience as a whole is so rewarding you can really ignore some of its major faults and rushes.
I'm positive you will end up enjoying the game so much solely for its story, absolutely beautiful soundtrack and great character development. It's seriously a work of love.
Summer Sale: July, 1.5 weeks
Halloween Sale: October, a few days
Autumn Sale: November, a week
Winter Sale: December, two weeks

Thank you all for the replies. I'll be looking forward to them, definitely.

I really just want Desktop Dungeons and Valdis Story. I wish I could just know if they were going on flash or not. Oh well. I have about 170 more cards left to idle for so I guess that'll give me more time.
I have so many new friends, had a great time with Sonic & All Stars Racing Transformed, got a puppy (though she isn't Steam redeemable), and wonderful help these past few days I just want to give back.
With that mentality I went around, collected what I could using up the last of Steam Card sales and some left over gift cards, and I give to you something that has given me a lot of joy and happiness over the years, Sonic The Hedgehog.
Please no talk of "Sonic Cycle" or "SEGA screwed up" or anything of the sort. Tis a giveaway of good feelings and good memories, new and old, with a side of appreciation for all.
Edit: I don't know why it's showing the image for the Yogocast DLC, that is not present. The keys are for a Transformed individually and Metal Sonic/Outrun DLC individually.

I'm digging RE6 a lot more than I figured I would. Game is dumb as sin (but in a fun way) but it's hyper polished and works even better mechanically in coop than 5. Provides a good challenge and seems to have a lot of content, too. Having a lot of fun.
Unsure what's been patched since it came out, though. If you ever do play this make sure to ratchet up the FOV option, not sure if you could do that on console but to me it's almost unplayable at defaults it's so insanely narrow.

Holy shit guys.............
.................
....we're 13 hours away from Farming Simulator being a daily
I did too. I was very surprised how much I enjoyed Leon and Chris' campaign. Very enjoyable (and yes, dumb) action campaigns.
This is the moment I've been waiting for (and I swear I am not being sarcastic here, lol): Have you played the game? Did you like it?
From Steam the only game Im missing is Origins. Ys The Oath To Felghana went on sale I think.
Well, Ys I and II was in a flash sale a couple of days ago, so the other Ys games may pop up in a flash/community sale as well.
I recommend you wait.
Thanks for the lovely giveaway, KenOD. : ) Wasn't it you who first recommended Waves to people earlier in the thread? The music sold me - I hesitated for a bit, but eventually ended up pulling the trigger on it this afternoon. Good stuff! I really appreciate you (and everyone else here) bringing stuff to peoples' attention that they might never have looked at otherwise.
