From the sounds of the last few pages, no.
Yes, and the millions see the huge lead and either jump on or back off. That's the point. Not that they are following Reddit or NeoGaf, but that the obvious trend causes that behavior, and it only takes about a half hour of early manipulation to make it happen.

I guess that´s exactly what he´s telling you. Sorry :/
What was the sale price?
I still see it.
yeah got it but so close to missing out on the one game I've been waiting on

Ah, wise words. Well, too late now, I suppose... no making back even a little bit of the money I stupidly dropped on team token investments in the first day >.>
Not to mention it's required for many mods.
Can you just remove the card and add another to verify?The money gets added (the transaction goes through and it seems to be in there... although I haven't tried buying a game with it yet), but for some reason when you add a new payment method, Steam forces you to verify it before you can buy or sell on the Market. Normally you could just go and verify it and be good, but since the card was already used to buy the Wallet credit, it seems to just shut down and not take any more charges, so the verification fails. It's a pain

Woke up two two foil drops, one worth .30, the other worth 2.xx now just waiting for some fool to take them off my hands.

I think Mozendo is right. Time flies past so fast. Already over 300 posts. Hope I was not a jackass to anyone.
Thanks for all your congrats!
Plan on a little better giveaway after the current one.

listen to the mad man
You can win one game every fifteen minutes. If you've won large numbers of games recently, the throttle timer gets longer and longer. Besides that, any rules will be stated in the post--the giver could exclude people who have won in the last day, month, or year. Givers can also exclude individual members that they feel have been abusive, this will also be noted in the rules. Cheers.
Mind telling me more about Amazon Tony?

Being pay2win, especially being the epitome of such a system, implies that the system is devised so as you either have to pay to get results or that paying will be monumentally easier than going through the free method.
This is not true for TF2 in any sense.
Don't you meen Cheers Tony?
That's not how it works, millions never jump to any conclusions that fast as it is happening lately. It's not possible, they are all individuals, and I'm sure some of them craft badges for their levels and don't give a damn about metagame, some do nothing, metagame or not, some take advantage of cards prices being unstable and dropping in price some every day, etc.
There can't be such difference in points, too many people are part for that.

Oh man, that might work! I'll give it a try. Thanks for the suggestion.
I have said it sometimes in this thread and NervousXtian said it on this very page.
I can get behind somebody making a winner with organisation. But - there are things that are weird. Two things especially bother me.
The last places
You can make a winner, but can you really bring all other four teams to the same score? Why would you even want to do that. Chance? Two days in a row almost the whole day with four teams being at rougly the same score? Absurd, I say.
The giant score of first place
If you see you're winning, why wouly you make such a gap? A buffer, sure, but Green had more than double yesterday and Pink has almost THREETIMES the scrore of the next place and with that is almost as strong as three teams. And its not because the others slacking off, Pink has way already more points than Green yesterday.
You only need 1 pt. You don't get mroe chances with more pts you bring in. Why would they craft so much?
Greater chance of success of what? Greater chance of looking cool? I define Pay 2 Win as someone paying for a clear advantage in a competitive game like letting them kill people easier. Making them look different has nothing to do with this. It's optional and doesn't affect your enjoyment of the game. Then DOTA must be pay 2 win also, and I can guarantee any item you get in DOTA is not gonna save your ass on a battlefield.

it's hit & miss. It easy pretty easy to get burned, so you just have to be careful. Some people obviously do it more than others. There are quite a few people here that can give you some more information about it. I've only done it a few times as well.
Ladies and Gentlemen, you can all of Wing Commander games for the cheap on GOG.
Since this is an EA game, there's close to no chance of the games making their way to Steam anytime soon, so it's as safe of a purchase as possible.

Hopefully someone doesn't undercut you and send the market in a downward spiral.
Happened to me with a Planetside 2 foil at one point.

I connected with Dave Lang...that counts for something right?

I really hope you get to sell them. Apparently, most of my foils get also dropped by people who like to make 0.20 cents out of them....

Deus Ex Director's Cut.
What exactly is it?
I own the regular game and Missing link. Haven't played DE yet. What am I missing from the director's cut.

Just go through badges that I can craft. Why is crafting a foil badge has the same XP as a normal badge since the former cost a lot more to craft?

The Director's Cut has better boss battles, that much I know.
It seems like your taking my term "epitome" out of context. Which was my fault I guess. But it was used to underscore the immense popularity of this system where TF2 has no equal on Steam at least, not the harshness or the intrusiveness of it. That was all I meant by "epitome".
In fact, one could go far deeper and suggest that a great number of DLC's available now are a form of pay2win, in some sense and to varying degrees. Sometimes it's not that big of a deal, sometimes it's huge, but the "leg up" by paying extra for extra content beyond the base game itself implies a pay2win model whether that be for SP or MP. Individual taste or competitive practices.
It's all the same principle. A sad principle really seeing where we came from and now arrived at with the nickel and diming scheme, which is all it really amounts to.
Read post above. Then let's let the matter rest. It's kind of getting off topic now. Sorry guys.
Nonsense. Trading is not paying; you can exchange weapons for free and there are plenty of ways to do it. Even if it were, all droppable weapons have specific downsides in combination with their upsides, rendering them "sidegrades" as already mentioned.
If you can't win a match or get a good K/D ratio with the stock weapons, the problem is your skill level, not the weapons you use.
I think they fixed a few mechanics regarding boss battles.
I'm about to get another $6 mars card to buy it.

Commentary, better boss fights, and a bunch of visual bugs.

Great game. Less TD than the first one (more shooterlike) but still great.
Updated boss fights.
Different energy regen I think. You get 2 now?
Some updated textures I think.
Nothing major to be honest. I wanted it but decided it's not worth it. It's good if you want to replay it I guess.

Thought Emoji Movie was good. Take that as you will.
LinkedIn says that I should know and connect with Gabe Newell.
He once posted on a forum, non-game related, that I post on.. hes still a member.. just doesn't post anymore.
I tried to get HL2:Ep3 info from him back then and he wouldn't budge. That was years ago too.

Ah.
It says, "if you own deus ex or the missing link" you will receive a discount when purchasing. But I guess the Steam sale overrides that and you don't get any more discount on top

Friend bought me BattleBlock Theater last night so I would play with her. Game is really fun. Hadn't even heard of it before. What other gems are you hiding, Steam?
Boss Doggie
all my loli wolf companions are so moe
So how's Amalur
Sanctum had great concept, Sanctum 2 finally has great execution. If you can get some friends to coop with (up to 4 player) it's a must buy.

an MMO without any other people.
It's actually not bad if you skip the millions of fetch side quests.
Boss battles are tweaked so that you don't need to directly kill bosses. You can use your hacking skills to open up rooms or activate turrets to do it for you.
Commentary nodes with several people having conversations about different aspects of the game from the process of getting that FFXXVII poster in the game to how the director had to fight to allow the player to backtrack completely through the first level of the game to what the fuck they were thinking with Letitia, the racist caricature outside Serif.
