Any game where the cards are worth like 30 cents each or more?

I sold System Shock 2 cards this morning for about $.30 apiece. No idea if all of the cards were like that though.

It boggles my mind how many people are willing to pay for these.

0.0 hours on record my ass, Steam.
 
Any tips for this?

Go back in time about three weeks. Make sure you've already bought a bunch of games that have cards. Idle or play said games for drops. Sell cards, trade cards to get different and more valuable cards to sell.

The value of cards has been somewhat exaggerated around here. Is it awesome that you can make a few dollars by selling a digital thing that doesn't have any value to you? Sure, that's fantastic. It's really cool that Valve is doing it. At the same time, you paid for the thing that gave you cards in the first place.

Ok everyone who still hasn't played Max Payne 2 need to do it now, just replayed the game and it is still awesome, much cooler than MP3 which lost all the flair this one had.

Write a correct haiku about raccoons and I'll gift you Sine Mora.

Because it's an awesome game.

EDIT - crimsonclaw did this!

I'm interested in Hitman but I think I'm going to pass because my backlog is big enough as is, and I've been good about not impulse buying shit that is mediocre/I'll never play.

Does anyone have Fallout 3 DLC? I got Fallout 3 a while ago and I want to get Broken Steel and so forth. I feel as if blowing 5 dollars to get the full pack is another load of bullshit just like I had to for Borderlands and its GOTY version.

I've had Max Payne 2 for awhile now, but don't have (and have never played) the first one - would one miss much (story, context etc) by jumping straight to MP2, or should I hunt down a copy of the first game... first?

Same here. Also, I believe Amazon had it for $5 recently, so I'm waiting for that price again (or lower), or for it to hit an Amazon bundle or something.
 
If you liked Splinter Cell Conviction, you'll like Absolution. They're pretty similar.
That's the thing. A Hitman game shouldn't play like a Splinter Cell. I love both, but for each's unique forms of gameplay. I applaud IO for the control and gameplay updates (cover system, over the shoulder aiming, melee worthy of a hitman, etc) but the game relied too much of SC style hiding behind cover. The Attention meter kind of ruined the whole disguise mechanic that made me fall in love with Hitman

And while I liked Conviction, I loved Chaos Theory even more

I don't really need a tag, but I figured I'd get one to make people jealous. Is it working?
I already made a post about Hitman:Absolution's issues, but it was kinda harsh.

I figured I'd weigh in with this thought; my Bloodmoney/Silent Assassin fandom says nay.

The surprisingly high amount of hours I've put into Absolution doing the challenges says yay.

There's a lot of problems with it, but it's never really offended me so much that I said fuck this game forever. I still plan to go back to it and do the rest of the challenges, so that's worth something. If you like indulging in challenge/cheezmo OCD, then it'll feed the sickness just fine. If you strictly want the sandbox approach of the previous titles, it's going to be disappointing.

A racoon haiku

That's easy enough

i think you should play the first one, there are returning characters in 2 and you get to know what happened in Max's life before 2, also the first one looks very smooth and clean with everything maxed.

Make sure to install the wide screen mod for both.
