Remember you need combined operations. Also, watch cause Arma usually brings rigs to its knees.
I think there are far more important reasons to leave Steam Guard on than just being able to sell cards. But if that's what it takes for you to keep a reasonable level of security on your account, then Valve did a good job.
When you click through you don't see anything?

I hope Capcom understand why no one likes RE6. A game as big as that and not even in the top 20 as a daily
So what's the deal with idling for cards then?
I currently have Portal 2, BioShock Infinite and Alan Wake running at the same time. Obviously I'm not playing any of them (why on earth would I do a silly thing like that?)
Am I OK to just leave this in the background and they'll drop cards? How regular will the drops be if there are 3 on at the same time?

I only took it down for a goddamn hour because gmail was being a bitch. ;_; Apparently that was enough for Valve to tell me that they would let me trade again on the 24th.
Which is too bad, cause RE6 has one of the best TPS systems out there, once you learn the controls that capcom forgot to put what combination did what. But, otherwise yeah money waster.

with the monetairy value of those cards in the shitter, I think it's easier to just play the games and trade them to level up so you get a better chance of gaining booster packs and foils. Just my opinion.
@Glix: neither can I.

Wasn't Resident Evil 6 received very well in Japan?
Its seriously the worst AAA game I've played in a longtime.
I don't know, but suddenly everyone on the Steam forums seems smarter than ever, almost like a real human being.

Thinking of getting left for dead 2, never played the first one either. Should i just buy only 2 and save the money or spend a bit more to get both? Is 1 really all that different that it needs to be played?
Get 2
It has all the missions of 1 for free
Along with Medal of Honor: Warfighter and Assassin's Creed 1 it's one of the worst AAA games ever made.
Nothing, the content for the first l4d was ported to l4d2 no reason not to get 2.

You're not missing too much with 1, but frankly, I'd go ahead and get it regardless. Sales like these are few and far between.
Especially when usenet does the job just fine.

I'm banking on Summer cards jumping in value after the sale. Trading all my cards for those.with the monetairy value of those cards in the shitter, I think it's easier to just play the games and trade them to level up so you get a better chance of gaining booster packs and foils. Just my opinion.

I got Fallout 3 and New Vegas' complete editions. But I have played the hell out of both on consoles. If I'm going to play them again, I want the experiences to include mods. Any recommendations?
It's still money. I don't care about any of that stuff or the cards. If I can get my next steam purchase even just a little but cheaper I will do it.
Seriously. Is there another option?

2 has all the maps from 1 and the superior versus mode, just skip 1.

I'd save your money and buy 2 only. You have the campaigns from 1 in it so the only reason you'd really wanna buy 1 is to play them without the updated mechanics, and the special infected from 2.
And Far Cry 2.
They left it open because a group of people prefer it, but no new games will be added to it.

Yeah, you can definitely wait. But also note that every badge has five levels to craft.
That's a little too drastic, I agree. But still, Steam Guard is there for a reason. In your case I understand why you disabled it, but that's probably the only way to force other people to have it on.

If you like rouge-likes and you like 8-bit platformers you may want to check out Super House of Dead Ninjas. Heck, you could sell a few cards you can pick it up like I did. It's a surprisingly fun little game -- it reminds me of something from the Retro Game Challenge/Game Center CX Nintendo DS game.

ok cool will only get l4d2 then, thanks gaf.
I fucking hated FC2, but I don't know if I would go that far. It wasn't as bad as those three games I mentioned, to me.
Resident Evil 6, MoH: Warfighter, and AC1 were all so bad that they made me question my ability to continue playing video games as a hobby. Far Cry 2 wasn't on that level.

I decided this as well. When I can finish a badge for like 50c and it increases my level of booster packs? Yes, please.
How do we speed up leveling though? I've been playing games all weekend and I'm still only lvl 10.

i've been begging for over 5 years.
I'm not understanding this part. How do you craft to the next level up? I have level 1 in Bioshock Infinite, Hotline Miami, and Walking Dead. What do I need to do to get to the next level badge?
For each of the badges I crafted above I gained a level. I started the sale at level 5 currently at level 9. You also gain levels for buying games.
This is why I typically stay away from AAA releases.
The amount of dumbing down and homogenization makes me actually question whether I want to continue playing games.

Far Cry 2 is the worst. It's like the game wants you to not have fun.
No. It's just the normal forums for me.

Buying games gets you 2xp per game, and badges. that is the only way
Collect all the cards again
bengraven

Make another badge of the same game. same cards, etc.
You get all the Cards fellow GAFfer. Then you Craft your Badge. After that you Start to Collect all the same Cards again and, when you get all 10 of them again you can Craft another Badge for a Level 2 badge.
Hope it helps.

Far Cry 2 is one of the best AAA games released, solely because it plays completely unlike anything you'd expect from a AAA game.
I guess it makes sense as to why it makes it one of the worst in that categorization though, but I'd prefer bigger budget games to go that route instead.
