all my loli wolf companions are so moe
You get an extra box to show off things every ten. So yeah, purely cosmeticAside from the increased booster pack drop chance every 10 levels as well.
But then you could increase your levels with other cards anyway. Summer cards will fetch a nice price.

Twist: The game fantomena is giving away is MGR

Calling it now, the Konami game will be Silent Hill: Homecoming.
Saints Row: The Third is $2.50 on Gamersgate if anyone's interested.

I was the first to suggest it, hidden neogaf rules demand I get a free copy in return if right.
I'm level 13. What's a 20% increase on 0?

Oh wow this has hit me out of the blue. I hope it's rising or one of the metal gears, but that castlevania background on the twitter page has me thinking otherwise.

Pft, what I get for reading the topic on Mobile GAF and now refreshing after having the page open a few minutes.You've been beaten to the punch several times already.
It's the only Konami game I can think of that hasn't gone under 50% ever.

On Valve's terms? 0.
That's what I'm trying to figure out; what's the use of the FAQ if the base drop rate is a mystery too?
Ah, right. In that case, it seems Konami doesn't care for your country.
Eleventy percent.
Says : This item is currently unavailable in your region. Same for Rocket Knight.
Ah, right. In that case, it seems Konami doesn't care for your country.
I wonder why, it's like the first games i see that are not available here.

Odd on Konami for that...
I would love it if it was a new game to the store, but at 2 AM in the morning I doubt it. But if they added a Metal Gear game, or hell, any Silent Hill game on Steam other than Homecoming, I'd be enthralled.
Yup, region locked in my country too. Fortunately I got Homecoming when Steam gave it away on the winter sale game 2012 I think? Traded lumps of coal for it as well.

It is only $30 in Australia...the country it was banned in.
If it is the magic sale game, I'll help people buy it. I won't even charge you money to do it either.

Is Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition worth it? Never played it and wanted to save the cash for something else Argghh
CecilRousso

No, nope. I'm not going to buy Torchlight 2. It's an unneccesary game right now. If I want to just waste hours, I already bought Just Cause 2.

I think it has been confirmed in this thread about 30-50 times now that New Vegas is an awesome game, that's still worth a much higher price then this.
Just buy it.
No wait, buy it and play it.
Oh, cheers, I had no idea. I suppose I'll have a EuroGAFer gift me the uncensored version, then (9.99 Euro = ~$14.30).

Booster packs are given out to people random when a badge is crafted (some booster packs for that game are sent out when another Steam user crafts a badge for that game). You get booster packs for the game even without playing it as long as you log-in to Steam once every week and got the 'freebie' cards for the game. Your chances for cards increase based on your Steam level, with the percentage chance increasing every 10 levels. For that individual game, the higher you level up your 'game' badge also seems to effect it. I used to never get booster packs for They Bleed Pixels, but since I made my game badge for it go to the max level, I get They Bleed Pixel booster packs every once in a while now.

That drill.
I suppose it was for the greater good...but seriously, these voting results. Fuck me.
Yeah, although it's kind of the right convergence of scenarios I think I really may've hit critical mass and will sit this sale out more or less after the first few days.
And... that's probably the most boring winner, though it's not like Riptide has a fantastic discount anyway and I expect Infestation was half ignorant votes, half troll votes.
Caerith, pretty much already convinced everybody it's worth!
I bought it already.

Sorry for adding myself to the tally of asking. BOUGHT!
I swear that every time I purchase a game from the summer sale, a tiny bit of my soul gets taken away and eaten by the gaben

Thank god
I already own it, and I was hoping for regular dead island (and NOT riptide) so I voted for infestation before I knew exactly what it was
after finding out the answer Im glad it didnt win
This sale has been... underwhelming to say the least. I was finding great stuff during the winter sale left and right, I don't even see any packs like the THQ one I bought during the winter sale. I do see them pushing cards like mad this go around, and that's disappointing.

Anyone want to trade cards from the summer sale? I have an extra Tomb Raider, Prison Architect, and 2 extra Kerbal Space Program. Need Bioshock Infinite, Chivalry: Medieval Warfare, Football Manager 2013, Reus, and Torchlight 2.

You did well.
New Vegas might start a bit slow, the starting area might look a bit dull, but stick with a couple of hours, and it will grow into a fantastic RPG experience. If it's not the best RPG I've played, then it's in the top 3 at least.
is my steam community comedy too obtuse
Terrible.
