Got BLOPS2 for $25.50 on Amazon. Not sure if I'm happy that I got it for the cheapest it'll be for at least a decade or dirty for buying it at all.

A year since I became a PC gamer- I don't think I paced this right!

Most of the things I wanted, I bought on sale and now I'm having more fun voting for sales, than actually buying stuff. The card phenomenon is also a little difficult to understand, and crafting the badge seems so different from last year.
 
Pretty sure i'm getting no card drops while having multiple games idling. Got the first set of cards then nothing after hours.

I'm not sure yet, just got four cards at once after about 15 minutes for different games but I'm running 7 and it was the first batch. We shall see.

So, who is going to be the hero who gives away Blops 2?
 
Finally beat Metro 2033 so now I can play Metro LL. Had to do the ending twice: the first time
Artyom decided to just run and jump off the goddamn tower.
, then the second time finally
Artyom launched le' missiles
.

I bought OpFor Dragon Rising. I might regret it a little bit, but it was only $3.74. Little game that is a bit fun, but it'll be more fun with other people. Running and sprinting doesn't quite feel like running and sprinting... feels like slow jogging and fast jogging... really odd pacing.

Anyone play it? :(
 
I'm still lost on the cards thing and I think I may have just sold a card I shouldn't have, but I was playing around.

Cards, badges, I'll figure this shit out after the sale is over.

you get for free while playing: cards. (half a set)
a set of them can be crafted into a badge.

cards can be sold from the inventory. (sell button)

that's pretty much it.
 
And money to valve. valve wins in the end.

e-peen for those that want cards
free games for those that don't care

Ever been at an official Magic The Gathering tournament?
Well, Steam cards give you the same amount of raditude!

Alright, thanks.

I can't sell my cards anyway since bought stuff with Paypal for the first time and now it won't let me access the market.

Also 'business' is such a stupid word, I don't know how you English-speaking people put up with that shit.
 
This whole badge thing makes me want to replay some of my games just to pick up cards to sell. I really hate that most of the games I've already beaten have cards now, but I don't mind playing them over if I get some cards.

I only got 2 cards from buying from the steam sale, but I'll try to get some from some games.

There's no way XCOM shows up as a Daily Deal with an even lower price, right? I feel like they've done that before but I can't recall.

Generally speaking the daily/flash sale will be the lowest it will go, one does not outdo the other. I can't remember that ever happening, unless it was a pricing error that was fixed later on.
 
I sure hope my bank isn't going to flag this endless stream of paypal purchases :p

Now I got Cave Story+ and FTL in my cart. I'm thinking about getting XCOM and Fez now.... Looks like XCOM is a Gaf favorite? I'm not big into the future-military-aliens motif but I love a turn-based strategy game. Any other recommendations for that genre?

And I just bought Cubeworld... I'm going to be busy this weekend!

Pretty great for turn based strategy even if you don't like future setting.
