oh god, certainly the girl from Lovely Bones has grown up really well..
Stump is completely on-point about Bully. It's a wonderful game and one of Rockstar's best.

Damn, the combat in Sleeping Dogs is great. Now I regret not picking up the Drunken Fist DLC. I love that fighting style.

holy macaroni!
You should watch The Bridge.
The TPS mechanics are also surprisingly solid. They're hardly as finely-tuned as, say, Max Payne 3, but within the pantheon of open-world games, Sleepy Pups is certainly one of the better examples.
I've been meaning to, actually. I'll get around to it soon!

For as cheap as possible too. Quick. Before anyone can list below $.50! You and the rest of the market have a "feeling" about what it is worth, and $.50 sounds perfect...or is it $.40?
Somewhere out there Mr Orange is proud.
Definitely.

It's a shame the GMG sale was such a fiasco because XCOM plus its DLC was cheaper than Steam's deal iirc.
Also remember that Amazon is price matching and also has that one time use 15% off code.

I'm holding my foil from SSS in hopes that the prices go up. SSS cards are not going to drop anymore after the SS ends, making them more rare

Whats wrong with TBoI???
After I bought the DLC yesterday and start the game, I unlocked 52(!) Achivements at once!
Now I get an update of my cloud files and after the game started...80 (!!!!) Achivements unlocked...
This bug is really annoying...I've lost all my motivation for the game
Does anyone have the same problem?
That sucks

Truth.
If you don't want them, you can sell them for Steam Wallet funds. If you do want them:
You primarily earn cards via "drops", which occur on the odd occasion while you're in-game (you don't actually have to be playing; you can just idle in the main menu and alt-tab to do something else). You'll have no drops remaining for F2P games if you didn't spend $9 in the in-game store prior to the trading cards being implemented (or, in the case of TF2, didn't own a copy prior to it going F2P), whereas for paid games, you'll either have an amount of drops equal to half or half+1, depending on the total amount of cards available (e.g. if a game has 8 cards, you'll get 4 drops; if it has 9 cards, you'll get 5 drops).
As for the cards themselves, there are regular cards and rarer foil cards, the latter of which you can flog off for a pretty penny if you beat the market crash; additionally, you can also earn booster packs, which are a set of three cards, with a chance of a foil, that "drop" infrequently as long as you've signed into Steam once in the past week. Obviously you cannot complete a set with the limited amount of drops, so you're encouraged to either trade for or purchase from the Steam Market the missing cards. You can gain drops in F2P games by spending money in the in-game store, but given that you only earn a single drop per $9 spent, it's far cheaper to just buy what you need from the market. While cards disappear from your inventory when you craft a badge, once you've "maxed out" a certain badge, they will remain in the badge section of your profile, so you can view them at your leisure. (Valve will soon be implementing a virtual binder wherein your cards, whether present in your inventory or having been used to max out a badge, will reside.)
Badges can be "crafted" either by completing certain tasks (such as the Steam Community badge) or "spending" a complete set of cards. The ability to "level up" promotional badges (i.e. those not based on cards) varies, but regular card-based badges can be taken to level 5, while the special foil badges can be crafted just the once. When crafting a badge, you earn an emoticon, profile background (both related to the game in question), a Mysterious Card and 100 XP. XP in particular is used to "level up" your Steam Community profile, and with each level you gain an additional five friend slots as well as a showcase slot to show off something of your liking on your profile (rare/favourite games, games/DLC owned, achievements earned, etc.)
Edit: If a badge is not showing up in your list, either because you don't own the game in question or haven't spent enough money in the in-game store, it will appear after you receive a card pertaining to it. For instance, I didn't spend money in Dota 2 prior to the trading cards going live, so the badge didn't appear in my list until I began buying Dota 2 cards.
Edit edit: Sorry, I can't type tonight.

The_Monk: Without service and out of the town. Cant see the new deals and vote on the community.
EDIT - I just replied with the deals/vote info. Told him I'd passed the message on.
I'm just ignoring the cards, they go completely over my head. it's like its own little F2P game within steam. I don't get it.
If Stump's post couldn't, no one will be able to.
