I once got that hand when playing Truco with some friends. It felt awesome.

Cool. No idea what Truco is nor have I seen cards like that, but they look awesome.

Really wish they'd tweak the badge page now. A scrolling list was great when I had a few games with cards, but now that there are a shitton...it's just a pain scrolling endlessly through them.

Speaking of which... just what does sorting by 'rarity' mean on that page? If I sort by rarity, I get the order:

Director of Acquisitions (Owning 500+ games)
Steam Summer Camp
Steam Summer Giveaway (Level 3)
Steam Holiday Sale 2011
Steam Summer Sale 2012
Steam Holiday Sale 2012
Trading Card Beta Tester
Pillar of Community

...which seems a bit odd. Director of Acquisitions top, when that requires a *lot* of game purchases? Isn't Pillar of Community *remarkably* low, for one that required no actual expenditure that I can recall? 2012 sales lower than 2011? - could that be because 2011 was more involved with external activites? (In which case 2013 lying with the 2011 ones is certainly a good sign).

Below all those are all the games I've not earned badges for. I'm wondering if those aren't ordered at all; first one listed at that point is Sleeping Dogs, which seems an... unlikely one to be the most collected badge.

My hunch is that for *unearned* badges, it doesn't sort by rarity but just gathers them all at the end, and also that it doesn't take into account *level* of a badge when determining its rarity, so if someone's gained a L5 version of the badge it's regarded as no rarer than the L1 version.

Mever heard of Truco but love playing Escoba

Couple questions about Company of Heroes.

1. Since the change to steamworks it no longer requires a relic account right? Hate having to create a million different accounts, especially when I only plan to play Single player.

2. Is it worth the extra $5 to grab the bundle with the dlcs if I plan to play strictly single player?

That is a decent hand.

Unless you meant you were playing the inferior Truco.

 

[morningbus]

I can confirm that the game is gay-friendly. I made Medusa fall in love with a siren.

Oh, and I've found a surprising number of puzzles that can be solved with a dead baby. I even put one in a little girl's birthday present.

Thanks for Multiwinia. Love Darwinia and have been meaning to check this one out!

It's a shame, you were so close to finish Runner 1. I suggest watching a playthrough on Youtube if you're struggling with any section; that's what I did for a specific jump I didn't know how to clear.

Once you beat the game it feels extremely rewarding.

You know, I'm not averse to hard rhythm games, I can beat stuff like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZHsdNDgXn0

And yet, for some reason, Runner is giving me a hard time, despite infintely easier note patterns. I suspect the game has some floaty input timing (maybe caused by me using x360ce to have it work properly with my DualShock2) - sometimes I can clear some sections, despite clearly being off key from music.

Anyways, yeah, I soldiered on to 3-11, this one broke me. I know that only this and Boss 3 remain, but after that last play session (4 hours, to repeat, with no results), I don't see myself returning to the game.

Nevertheless, I still bought Runner 2 - (optional) checkpoints should make the game much more fun.

okay I did it.. I paid and crafted my first badge (other than the Summer one), SR3..
it looks ugly :/

2. Is it worth the extra $5 to grab the bundle with the dlcs if I plan to play strictly single player?

That's a bit cloudy. Opposing Fronts' campaign is just as good as the original's, if not better, but the second expansion pack is very short and kind of crappy (didn't even finish it). So I don't know if purely OF is worth $5, but on the other hand both campaigns are better than CoH2's for much less money.

The code is Gooncave

Try to change your billing address to an US one, choose a state that applies no taxes such as Minnesota, for example. Believe me, that works.

Ah, it worked!

My address used to be 1 First Avenue, New York. Now it's 1 Central Avenue Southeast, Minneapolis, and life's way cheaper here indeed.

I think you just sold Runner 2 to me. I was really frustrated with the first one after a certain point. Checkpoints would make the game so much better.

 

[BibiMaghoo]

You can level up your stuff, but the heists are all the same. It's amazing for the first play through but not really worth playing again.

The heists have dynamic changes each time you play them. Different things will happen, different areas will be open or locked.

One playthrough does the game no justice at all.

There is a reason that the hardest settings for the game cannot be unlocked until you reach level 145. This setting alters the game even further.

Play it some more.

 

[Copons]

Whaaaaaa??

Those are Italian playing cards (that also come in several regional graphics variations), but neither I did know that they could be found outside Italy, nor that they needed to put the number in the corners to explain cards value!

Seconded on this. I have the pack in my cart but haven't committed yet in case I'm wasting my money on DLC that is primarily multiplayer and I won't get any use out of.

 

[GuitarAtomik]

So is Forge any good? It looks pretty cool.

They look very similar to neapolitan and sicilian cards (not surprisingly) but I think those in the image are spanish.

There are some pretty fundamental issues with a lot of these games that that is input lag. Runner is absolutely unplayable for my on my HTPC because of the lag which is a shame because the music really adds to the game.

 

[Prophane33]

McPixel is absolutely insane. I love it. It can get a little frustrating at times trying to figure out the game's (lack of) logic.

Guys, I have a 75% off coupon for Forge that works with the current deal.

I'm not interested in buying it but if anyone wants it just ask. You could get the 4-pack for $3.74

 

[nacimento]

Cool. No idea what Truco is nor have I seen cards like that, but they look awesome.

It's a strange card game with too many rules and nonsensical card values and orders.

Whoa, I checked on Wiki and I found a lot of mindblowing stuff!

Formally so-called Italian cards are the ones found only in northern Italy, which I barely ever seen, living in Rome (so central-southern Italy).
Italian cards suits are the same but the graphics are very different.

In the rest of the country (Neaples, Sicily, ecc.), we actually use Spanish cards...


Well, the more I know, GAF!

Hey, unfortunately you can not buy the 4-pack since you already have the game, so it would only work with a single copy.
