4 card drops remaining

When did they add cards to Shank 2? Must have been today.

Yesterday, I believe.

You should be hired as WB's official representative of Wheelman.

I'd even accept payment in the form of the WB dev sub as opposed to real money.

Correct.

I'm too lazy to idle that much. That's sad.

Looks like it's down to $9.99

soon..

The cheapest Incest the Game has ever been!

But are you too lazy to start a program before you go to bed and wake up with a boatload of trading cards in your inventory? Because that's what I did last night and it was glorious.

Little update on my quest to use my tablet for games.

First up, Hearthstone works extremely well on the Dell Venue 8 Pro natively. Not surprising given that it's on the iPad too obviously, but after playing a couple of hours of it I'm happy to report that the touch controls work wonderfully in Windows 8.1 too. So that's good.

Unfortunately, my efforts to stream Divinity have been a bit clunkier. The streaming is actually great, even with a 1.6GHz Intel Atom and 32mb Intel GPU it still decodes the stream fast enough. The problem is that Windows translates a single point touch to a cursor movement in applications which don't have native touch support, so you have to rapidly double-tap on the screen or slide to a point in order to left-click a particular spot. It's possible to play like that, but it's pretty annoying.

The alternative is to get TouchMousePointer, and run it in fullscreen mode. Basically it creates a virtual mouse with a visible cursor, and converts the entire screen into a touchpad like you would have on a laptop. So instead of pointing at a spot to move the mouse, you drag your finger across the screen and the cursor moves; then left-click is single finger tap anywhere on the screen, right-click is two finger tap. The latter is great, since the default in Windows is to hold for right-click which stinks.

It's not the dream I'd hoped it would be, but I'll keep at it. Next test is plugging my 360 controller in and playing some pew-pew games.

I've just had a quick gander at a Dell Venue 8 Pro. I had no idea they were so cheap. Though lack of concrete GPU info (even on Intel's site) and looking like shipping with a 32bit OS has got me wondering the viability of any native use for me.. Though from your impressions it sounds like a great streaming device albeit with a few control kinks to work out. Look forward to the updates.

probably not

Well I'm going to gun it regardless!

Is there a post explaining how to idle?

 

[Knurek]

Mostly because there's precedent where someone claims to only use it to idle, but end up using it to cheat playfire.

I've called some of them out. The rest I hope they give up on it.

This is weird as well? Are you working for Playfire? If so, just ban the accounts that go against the EULA.
If not, then seriously, what's your beef? Have you never gotten a game from a Russian trader? Never used a discount error deal?

Spoiler

Never entered IDDQD or DNKROZ?

Skip the talk and go straight to rolled up newspaper and the spray bottle.

 

[jshackles]

Nope, you just have to have Steam open and signed in.

Hopefully to-be-released later this afternoon. I'm building my own idling application using SteamKit rather than relying on SAM. Then I'll compile the python script into it's own executable and hopefully be able to make the installation and setup as painless as possible.

I wonder if there is a way to exclude certain games? Like I still have a card drop for speedrunners, so I wouldn't (ideally) want such a thing to waste its time idling speedrunners, considering I'm bound to actually play it within the next few days.

Well sheeeet

Can't wait for the public version

 

[AHA-Lambda]

Could you get in trouble with Steam by using this idling script?

 

[derExperte]

Whispering Willows finally got gamepad support patched in.

 

[Blak_Status]

Why is enhanced steam showing me 0 card drops remaining? I'm looking at like over 50 games in the list that say 5 card drops remaining.

 

[jshackles]

I don't think so. It's essentially the same thing as idling your games using SAM, which a lot of people have done since the trading card beta and to my knowledge nobody has gotten in trouble for.

It seems to be a bug that I'm trying to track down.

I NEEEEEEED that lol

 

[corrosivefrost]

Do you think the card prices will drop harshly if I don't start idling til one hour after release? I got a doctor appointment today just 15 minutes before TiTS it out, so will probably be an hour late in idling my cards. Hopefully with 8 drops though and if they sell at 40 cents minimum, that will be awesome money made back from the game. I love Steam Cards, in many ways it's like a rewards program, only I usually get way more money from Steam Cards than I do other rewards programs.

They shouldn't unless someone is a giant jerk and comes along and lists something hovering around $0.40+ at $0.15 or lower just to sell it. :3

good luck!

Nice giveaway, Quiche!

For those of you that want to track Playfire rewards,
I've been using this http://steam.madjoki.com/playfire for the last couple of days and it is way better than doing tracking rewards manually.
Sign in through steam looks at your games and free to play games that have rewards.

 

[Chariot]

So, TiTS is coming in 51 minutes, yes?

Finished my Mirror's Edge replay . Still one of the more remarkable games in recent memory. Few games have impressed me this much visually since then, and the game is 5 years old already.

1 down 4 (and the Epilogue?) to go!

If 2, 3 and 4 all weren't in royalty and dead developer purgatory I would have thought we would have seen them by now. I was watching a copy of 2 on eBay a while back after Dusk mentioned the series and it end up going for £60 or more. Yeah I'm not quite that crazy.

 

[Jawmuncher]

It should.
Brace for a steam issue though.

 

[kudoboi]

i really wished there was a demo for the room. i'm gonna hold off from buying it just because i don't know if i will like this sort of games.

 

[Baron_Calamity]

Thanks for the advice. Why do you think that's case?

Right now there isn't a huge demand for cards. People might buy some to get a steam level or craft a badge but more cards just sit idle in the market place unless they are rock bottom. The general steam population isn't interested. Once card crafting gets tied to a reward or a contest, then most steam users start buying cards in order to win or to get some exclusive time limited thing. Supply drives up and then cards start selling for 2 or 3 times their normal price.

Also you don't want to list them and wait. The way steam market place works, the newest listing sells first.

Completed Transistor now, utterly fantastic game, really loved it. The music, gameplay, art were all fantastic, absolutely loved it. Not sure when I'll do NG+, want to give some time to something else first.

There is this strange pleasure on coming back to an older game, play it at maximum graphics and just enjoy the game

Ok... I got it now. It makes perfect sense. I finished building my gaming PC back in February, so this Summer Sale was the first steam sale that I was involved in. I didn't have enough games and stuff to do all the crafting for badges.

How you just explained it makes a lot more sense to me now then it did during the sale. Even though my Red Team won, I was only able to contribute by buying games.

Same here.

I would suggest picking up the PS2 versions and emulating them.

Not quite as good as the native pc version, but you will achieve a similar fidelity and the same gameplay.

I actually had more fun in NG+ than in my first playthrough. Adjusted my abilities so I was playing the game closer to an ARPG. Only used the planning mode in the worst possible situations.
