Did you only sleep like 3 hours or have I been awake too long?

I slept 7 hours fellow GAFfer. Guess who needs some sleep now?

Someone dissed System Shock 2 and Doom for being too old or something. Was terrible, be glad you missed it.

To me, games are timeless. I can play them anytime no matter when they were released. There's no "too old" for me.

I hope we're all voting for 75% off Mark of the Ninja.

Such a great game, I really liked the Story (the ending too) and all the Stealth (if you choose it that way).

People stahp

The power of the free markets!

Lol at the card undercutting. They're valueless trinkets and the market has spoken.

My foil is worth as much as regular cards. This shall not stand.

 

[Blue Ninja]

Lol at the card undercutting. They're valueless trinkets and the market has spoken.

Yep. I have some cards sitting in the market at €0,10, and they're still not selling.

 

[derExperte]

I already have that and Deadlight, but have no interest in Orcs Must Die. I voted MOTN for the sake of the community.

30 friends of mine own Ninja, only 18 OMD2. Ninja is great and all but OMD is just as good. Yes, I voted for the Orcs (to die).

 

[intheinbetween]

wtf, I'm on Steam level 12, I crafted badges, got and sold a lot of cards but I still haven't managed to get a foil trading card, whyyyy???!!

 

[Zeroo]

The Strike Suit Package deal needs to go lower.

what's the difference between infinity and zero?

 

[JaseC]

Lol at the card undercutting. They're valueless trinkets and the market has spoken.

Once the Summer Sale dust has settled, I'll be going on a badge spending spree.

 

[Milamber]

what's the difference between infinity and zero?

Story vs arcade mode.

they add up bro

Yea Orcs Must Die deserves more love.

 

[SHarris78]

Help needed please !

Been using steam for years but only for buying and playing games solo, nothing else. Only have 3 friends in my list but would love to add some Gaffers and get more involved in the community side of steam (gifting etc.).

My user name is SHarris78, please would some of you kind souls add me?

Valve has probably made a few thousand dollars off transaction fees alone from them lol

 

[intheinbetween]

well I managed to sell almost all the crap I had on my inventory, everything except the beta trading card badge which nobody wants to buy even at 0,01 cents, lol

[Boss Doggie]

Witcher 2 is mine!

 

[fantomena]

How is Strike Suit Infinity? Seems like an iPad game.

 

[Salsa]

new System Shock 2 art on the cards just makes me want a new System Shock

 

[Jiggaloboy]

wtf, I'm on Steam level 12, I crafted badges, got and sold a lot of cards but I still haven't managed to get a foil trading card, whyyyy???!!

I'm in the same club. Sucks don't it!

 

[Seanspeed]

How's Sim City 4 for 6 bucks?

No brainer if you like these types of games and will actually play it.

I just bought it.

So Deadlight or Mark of the Ninja?

 

[JaseC]

new System Shock 2 art on the cards just makes me want a new System Shock

Half-Life art on the Half-Life 2 cards makes me want a new Half-Life.

 

[M.D]

You have to be over a certain level to get foil cards?

Wait, how do you even gain levels on Steam?

 

[Toki767]

So Deadlight or Mark of the Ninja?

I feel like Mark of the Ninja is basically guaranteed to win.

 

[derExperte]

No you don't, was lvl10, isn't anymore.

 

[RibbedHero]

I feel like Mark of the Ninja is basically guaranteed to win.

It's also the better game, so I think it'd be deserved.

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

Gah. Stupid extra Reus card. I only need 3 more cards to craft a badge.

Let's talk about your Reus.

But in PM. It's late and I forgot the rules.

 

[JaseC]

So Deadlight or Mark of the Ninja?

The latter. The former is a an appreciable concept let down by sloppy execution; MotN, on the other hand, is 2D stealth perfection.

 

[xDEKOIx]

Blah.. Still trying to sell card to purchase Half Minute Hero. Anyone want to put me out of my misery and make a trade? I'll offer 2 games ~

 

[toddhunter]

new System Shock 2 art on the cards just makes me want a new System Shock

Yeah that probably wouldn't end well.

Meanwhile I have my SS2 badge and background. Much better than the binding of issac one with the naked babies.

I'm happy.

 

[Lighthouse]

No, my first foil, and first card was at level one.

You gain levels by crafting badges. Go to the badges section under your profile and start with the community tasks.

 

[Toki767]

Let's talk about your Reus.

I need either Chivalry, Kerbal, or Torchlight 2.

 

[EatChildren]

Yep. I have some cards sitting in the market at €0,10, and they're still not selling.

I did too. Dropped a few to stupid prices because I don't want them.

Once the Summer Sale dust has settled, I'll be going on a badge spending spree.

Yep, I'm going to do the same, and I've been doing it now. 5 cards, unlock 3, spend 40c if that to complete the pack. You could probably buy a whole badge for the more popular games for ~$1.20.

they add up bro

They do, I agree, but that's the only way to find real value. With the exception of rare foils, and probably super rare DOTA2/TF2 items, most people don't seem to give a shit about card value, because in the end their value is trivial. Worsened by the Steam sale too.

Valve has probably made a few thousand dollars off transaction fees alone from them lol

Yep, and like Salsa said it adds up. Genius move by their marketing department. Trivial, relatively useless and meaningless digital goods tied to a collectable system. Doesn't matter if cards are selling for 5c. Valve gets a cut, and a lot are selling for 5c. Money from nothing.

 

[Neki]

Every should have one.

Thanks, going to sleep now, way too tired.

 

[toddhunter]

Yep, I'm going to do the same, and I've been doing it now. 5 cards, unlock 3, spend 40c if that to complete the pack. You could probably buy a whole badge for the more popular games for ~$1.20.

Especially when you get a summer sale card drop that sells at maybe 0.25. Only an issue if you get duplicates.

 

[Gvaz]

When I get paid next week I'm just gonna drop like 10 bucks and get as many of the cards as I can and just get to level 5 in everything

 

[Komedy]

got up this morning and my first booster pack had dropped

sure, but it might be hassle to be on top of it but in my experience it has been worth it. There's enough cards now (at least for people with a similar amount of games than me) that you can make a significant amount of dough

 

[PriitV]

Uh, sent 2 gift codes to modbot and only got one in return :S And stump is asleep

 

[AxeMan]

I wouldn't mind shooting out a gift via modbot but can't work out how to grab the key. any help?

 

[derExperte]

And it makes the game devs/pubs happy because they sell more games. I would never have bought that Dinosaurs one without the cards. Or Triple Town. Fuck Triple Town.

Read the OP, it's in there.

 

[liezryou]

I wouldn't mind shooting out a gift via modbot but can't work out how to grab the key. any help?

Read the OP! Basically you send it as a gift to your own email, copy the gift URL from there and then msg it to modbot as the key. Or you could just give it to me.

Uh, sent 2 gift codes to modbot and only got one in return :S And stump is asleep

Just message modbot again with the second code?

 

[Salsa]

check the OP's modbot section

Ok. Deadlight did look pretty cool, but yea, everybody seems to think Mark of the Ninja is a godly game. I'll go with that. I'm not a *huge* stealth game fan, but I can usually get into anything that is done very well.

 

[Tobinishi]

Thx Timedog

He gifted me Bad Rats as my 100th game cant get a better game for the century

Well 5 hours of runing your computer for... 20 cents hard to justify at some point.

 

[Chance Hale]

Timedog must be the developer of Bad Rats.

Forgot to ask, how do I get an invite to join the Steam Neogaf group?

In store related news, broke down and bought Tomb Raider and Euro Trucking Simulator 2!

 

[itllgrobak]

Just received my first foil (been in since the beta) System Shock 2 Confrontation, put it up for $20.
Too much?

 

[Divius]

Argh, missed the previous community vote.

Voted for Mark of the Ninja now.
