It should be fine even at 100C, Far Cry 3 gives your GPU a good work out. But Blood Dragon stresses your GPU less than the main game.
Make sure to give your machine plenty of ventilation and take breaks.
Personally I am more bothered by the heat the computer puts out in the room, along with the fan noise. That along with it being summer, just remember to turn up the A/C when playing that game lol.

BioShock trilogy for £6.79 even though I had Infinite free with PS+? Yes please!
The ability to steal points is simply insane, the overall system is just strange for a sale challenge as it seems to ostracize more players then benefit.
some thoughts:
1) a few whales can buy tokens to significantly sway the results.
2) Valve can manipulate the token drop rate on a winning (or loosing team).
3) Vast majority of players who don't care, don't care.
4) Players that do care that are on teams that have not pulled away early loose "steam" and don't craft as aggressively
5) its too early to tell, but if purple wins today after this insane battle I don't think anyone will care other than other whales buying on to the purple team to further skew the result.
Go Red...

Watching the scoreboard makes me upset that I contributed eighteen fucking points to Green, hoping for an upturn.
AND I have no way of switching teams, lol. Am dumb.

Wait points can be stolen?
Yeah at the start of the sale I had like four pages of cards was level 9 (I think?), I put $10 in my wallet crafted a lot of badges I know have $12 in my wallet and I'm level 17.

Fun Summer Sale so far. The "team" concept is pretty neat! Finally found out what it was all about a few minutes ago. :-D Hope everyone else is enjoying their Summer Adventure!
That is probably the most expensive way of doing so.
But buying cards to level up is literally throwing money away.
At least buying games you get something out of it.
Yes. You can earn/buy tokens that move 100/500/1,000 points from one team to yours.

You could look at it that way, still the most expensive way of leveling up by far.
G-good morning? :,Dgood morning.
I am awake since 7 hours, its afternoon in the magical land.

Also:
I just have thought how fitting Summer (Sale) Wars is for this. The 150 Million Miracles scene would be perfect for the last minutes of today. The purple shadow menace that beat almost everyone into submission, but as they nearing their completion the humans
which purple members obviously are not

What are the thoughts on payday 2 and all of its dlc? Only good when played with friends?
I guess that gives me time to unload more cards for that sweet, sweet free wallet funds.

If you have even ONE friend in your friends list that plays, Payday 2 is an amazing experience. Love it. For $5.99, it's pretty much a steal. And they've got three more DLC releasing later this year.
Its also difficult if you get crappy teams. Don't bother with the AI. I still have a blast whenever I play.
I guess the cheapest (after community ambassador) would be to trade the cards from some of your games for cards on other of your games - so you can complete badges for free that way

is someone buying that?
They probably didn't know Valve would use their top three games, lots of people were asking here for example
Some of these are silly, why request Papers, Please when it was $3?
maybe the didnt know about that. They propably thought it is either random or they can choose. they are propably biting in their table as we speak

I wonder if the Call of Duty wins were the same guy.
Haha, some of those games were dirt cheap. I assume they forgot to change their ranks in their list.

I guess those peeps didn't know the sorting thing.

I guess it would be a little ridiculous for Valve to add a custom UI to the client for picking games that only effects a few people.
Been removed from the Steam version as well, so no problems there.
