You're getting one of the best games of the generation for free, just do it. Hell, spend 5 and get some of the best DLC out there as well, it won't get any cheaper.

So is trackmania canyon still active at all?
Did they fix the thing where you could only do a timed run every few minutes?
Does it run allright on older amd cards? (hd6870), is it very cpu heavy? (phenom II x3 @3.2ghz)
Do you still need to use that ubisoft garbage to play it?
Do you still need maniaplanet?
I was hoping stadium would be on sale or valley.

Did you pre-order the recent expansion? Civ IV was gifted to those who pre-ordered as an apology for the initial sale discount exceeding the pre-order discount... or something like that. Someone will correct me, I'm sure!
Shogun 2 is fantastic. The Total War games are strategy games with the Real-Time Tactics sub-genre.
The campaign is played out on a turn-based world map. The battles take place in real time on battlefield maps. All unit creation takes place on the campaign map. So when you enter a battle, you've got a finite number of units to make use of.
Here: This is a reasonably good commentary from a skilled player on the game.

I don't have that much on Paypal. I would have enough if it was Steam Wallet funds, though.

Whats the point? Are playing all those games?
10 cents a card isnt enough to make anything.

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I don't think so, it didn't seem to happen when I bought X-Com DLC and then Sleeping Dogs. I still have my progress and I've voted and gotten cards since then.

I stopped participating once it left beta, not even free pennies will get me to launch games for that reason alone.
You hiring?

You skip work, so that you can play games, so that you can sell cards. So selling cards can potentially get you fired.

I voted infestation. Dead island Riptide at $20 is just too much even though I really want it.
It looks like the Grand Master Collection is twice the price of the Master Collection and all you miss out on is the massive amounts of unit DLCs. I'd say get the Mater Collection for $22.50 and call it a day. $20 seems like a lot of money for something that doesn't massively change the games.
Or better yet, since you haven't played any TW games, just buy Rome: Total War for $2.49. It's regarded by many as the best one (including me) and it hasn't really aged much IMO. I've put tons of hours into it, many of them even within the last couple years. It's a fantastic game and it'll eat up plenty of your time.
Nah. In fact, tomorrow I'll quit my job and tell my boss I'm gonna get rich by selling cards.

Yeah, I made $25 dollars in the beta. I just sell duplicates now to get cards for the badges I want. Leave games idling while I do other things so it doesn't really take any of my time up.

You don't need to idle anywhere. I woke up, turned my computer on, and had a booster.
Excellent advice! Prepare for Rome 2 coming soon.

It's amazing value IF you get into the games, but in all honesty, I'd buy Shogun 2 (or rome, bu bu bu samurai!) and play that for a while first. I've got a few total wars over the past few years and I neglect them all these days for Shogun 2. If you have money to burn and enjoy the demo or you're not sure what period you want to get into, go for your life, but you might struggle to play more than one for a long while.
Thanks for Poker Night 2!
No problem, enjoy!
Actually I didn't pre-ordered it but I bought day one. Oh well free game is a free game. Thanks guys

How does this sound?
Just have enough in my Steam wallet for this in a moment, is Shogun 2's DLC worth bothering with? If so I'll remove New Vegas for now (I've already played it before, I'll pick it up before the sale ends) and buy the DLC for it.

So did they ever get around to fixing the AI stuff in Hitman Absolution?
I remember it being really bad when I rented it on PS3

Quite nice
Well.... Even if you have $100 to spend on the sale or $1000, selling cards can easily net you more cash (I am close to $30 myself at this point). It's just more cash, more cash = more games you can buy and never play. If there is $1050 worth of games you want from the summer sale but you only have $1000, CARDS GOT YOU COVERED.

Yeah, but there's nothing better than recruiting a special unit, ranking them up, and having them wipe the floor with everything else on the field.
That being said, Total War noobs should grab Rome for $2.50, install some mods (darthmod) and if they like it, buy the Grand Master later when it's on sale again. Which is all the time.

Thanks for Terraria! I've been meaning to check it out for a while. I was even thinking of buying the Xbox version. Now I don't have to!

It's a lot of fun! Good game to play with other people, or so I've heard. I only played it solo but I enjoyed it a lot...until I got to the bosses.
