wtf? Is this what I get for trading cards for the game? The dude sent me a humblebundle link for it and this was back in Nov.

Unfortunately, there should be a saying of "only trade what you are willing to lose". The guy who got the humble bundle originally may have used some nefarious method to get it (dodgy card or some such). Its a shame that there are a fair few kids that have nothing better to do than this.

Valdis, Dust and Guacamelee are very similar games. If I had to pick one, I like the style and depth of Valdis best.

I'd say it is an easy pickup for a couple of dollars.


In the above "A Rougelike" could be papers please...

also, how demanding is Dark Souls?
Click to expand...

If you mean performance-wise, it shouldn't be that demanding and through DSfix you can adjust the resolution.
But I have a REALLY crappy computer (mid 2009 MBP with 256MB of gpu) and all went tragically downhill: at first I got playable framerates (let's say, between 20 and 30) but as soon as I got to fight bigger and more graphically complex bosses I just couldn't. Until at one boss it was Dark Souls itself that kicked me out of the game because of too low framerate. :D

So this was my first Steam sale, I have have spent about £160 which bought me 60 games. I went crazy, but I figured I would have spent a lot anyway due to my first time on Steam and having no backlog at all. Now I have made a wish list of games, which I will only buy if I see any of the games on my wish list for 75% off sale or more, so I won't be spending much in future sales.

You say that now, you'll still be tempted to splurge next sale.

I got most of the stuff I wanted, every game I bought in the sale was either 75% off or more, since I have most of the games I want I can't see myself spending that much in the next big sale. Maybe spend £60 if a lot of my games go on sale from my wishlist, but it won't be close to £160 I spent building my Steam library from nothing.

Card prices are weird right now. They are going up on average(above 15 cents), but theres more people in the mix also dumping them around 10-12 cents. Theres people that still want to make money, but others that are panicking.

Are there any further DLC in the works for XCOM or am I safe getting Enemy Within now?

I have a hard time getting ramped back up to revisit games I've already played once...

Heck, all the raving over Valdis Story convinced me to pick it up as my last game of the sale. Less than 8 bucks left in my Steam wallet now.

Lol, I remember when I used to be that naive. Gaben takes it all.

Were the non-dailies supposed to return to full price today? I was holding out on Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director's Cut to see if it made a return appearance, but it didn't and is back to full price? Isn't the sale still on-going? :S

EDIT: I told my partner's brother to hold out in case it was reduced further (we bought him a Steam gift card for his first Steam sale). Have I made a terrible mistake? :O

Would someone be kind enough to buy me Civ V Gold + BNW over at Amazon? It's $20 but I don't have a Credit Card. I'll be able to pay you back through Paypal.

I'm kind of pissed that I bought The Swapper without realizing it doesn't have controller support. How the fuck does this game not support that?

Proudly debt free. If you need a couple bucks, just ask.
Is there gonna be a thread like last year with last minute Indie games worth getting?

From what I've read, The Swapper would be pretty difficult to control with a controller. It is very much designed to be played with K+M.

Well this is fucking stupid...

I added a new card to my Steam account for payments, and because of that I can't do anything on the market until January 9th. It would have been nice to have been told that ahead of time... I know that didn't happen the last time I did this. Now I'm stuck being unable to sell the holiday cards and they'll be useless by the 9th.
