The snow globe cards will disappear tomorrow. It depends on wether or not you want that badge. If you're not interested, you could sell the cards on the market.

One of the more keen badge crafters. I like to call them badgers.
I just wish he had stuck with his old style of buying early at extremely high prices. I sold a number of cards to him at somewhat ridiculous prices right after the cards were added for different games that helped fund the rapid expansion of my Steam library.
I wanted to buy sonic racing transformed. Was it ever a flash that I missed?
Who knows when it will next go on sale...
I was waiting for it too... but it never happened, I end up buying it on amazon.

Okay GAF. Help me decide:
XCOM- (kind of an RTS newb though, but it looks fun)
Bioshock Infinite
or
Metro: Last Light
Which should be my final purchase of the sale?!

I just remembered this. A lot of people who were waiting for the daily deals to run their course got screwed lol.
Valve was weird this year.
You can either craft the badge or sell the cards. If you craft the badge you get some meaningless Steam experience, a profile background, an emoticon for Steam chat, and a random F2P in-game item from a list. The item can be worth a decent amount or absolutely nothing. Most likely the latter. You can also sell the cards for about a buck in total (or trade them). If you just keep the cards and don't do anything, they disappear, so you may as well craft the badge or sell/trade the cards.
I'd say XCOM but I haven't played Metro. Some people liked Bioshock Infinite a lot, I think it was awful, at this price it's probably worth buying just for the first hour and a few sequences that were pretty even if you end up disliking it.

I spent my last $5 in my wallet on Dishonored: The Brigmore Witches, I'm excited to finish up the story.
Haha, yeah, I've the one and only Logician Knight foil listed at $10 (well, $9.98) and it's yet to find a home.

Looks like my last game will be Age of Empires II HD.

My notebook has an i3-GT525m combo and I could easily run Infinite on it with medium-high settings at around 30+fps with a couple of bigger dips here and there.
Some contest, Bioshock Infinite.
XCOM is not an RTS, it's a TBS (Turn-Based Strategy).
It really depends if you like or are interested on Strategy games. Otherwise, I suggest you get Metro.
It's not worth selling them this late into the sale because the card prices have crashed. Just craft the badge.
Make it easy and knock Infinite off the list.
Atmospheric shooter or Strategy RPG, both games are fantastic.

I don't like that terrible Batman: Arkham Origins game. it's almost as bad as the original AssCreed

I really wanted to spend some more money on the games that never went daily deal. There were about 10 games I was going to buy today for myself, and I was going to get some gifts. Now I'm buying squat
I did and got a F2P item that is valued at 3 cents in the community market.
Your mileage may vary.

over hyped, decent story but stale gameplay. Metro all the way
The timer on the deals did say the deals were ending today.

A little disappointed with the encore, I thought it would be like the rest of the sale where associated games would be discounted as well. I would have bought Blood Dragon last night if I'd known it wasn't going to be on sale today.

Is Age of Empires III part of Steam Family Sharing?

Oh rock of ages, do not crumble, love is breathing still. Oh lady moon shine down, a little people magic if you will.
HEY!
When patched, the PC version of Arkham Origins is the Die Hard of Christmas games.

They could be going by top grossing and those would certainly fit.
What does hype have to do with anything now?
Eh, I really liked Metro but I think Infinite is better in every way really. Can't really go wrong with any of those games though.
Oh Steam. I bet they also gifted him a copy of You Need A Budget.
Don't think he spent thousands of dollars. Once you get to a certain level, you probably get a lot of globe gifts just to see you go higher.
Time to give away my globes. 1 or 2 per person only to those already on my friends list. Initiate chat inside Steam - ID is in my profile.
have 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8
Waaaaaay more complex. The series is more of a trading game than a straight up city builder. 1404 can be played without even dipping your toes in trading and all the accumulated models but once you get your feet wet it's a great hook. Well if your into that sort of thing.

All I ever saw were the timers for daily deals and what not, and the banner that's still there on the main page saying the sale goes through tomorrow with more than 2000 games on sale.
I don't remember some of these games grossing all that much. Examples being Call of Duty or the new Batman.
This is all from memory of course, and I could be mistaken.
