I'm curious where I stand on the Steam level gauge. I don't play a huge variety of games, but the ones I do play, I play a lot.

It does help when my girlfriend finds Skyrim and gets sucked into it. As do I, again.

Once my exams are done, I might actually have time to check and see if I have a trading card beta.

Also, hello Steam thread! I may not post much in here, but I see what you're all up to. Classy as usual.

This might well be the best thread in the whole internets.

From looking at your badges, probably about 8 or 9.

This war for the overworld. Is this the dungeon game all us DK fans have finally been looking for?

Those screencaps look exactly like what I have been looking for in a sequal.

My brother bought it and played some, it is extremely buggy so far. But the gameplay I saw from him had it looking exactly like Dungeon Keeper 2.

Considering it was in a pre-alpha state as close as 4 months ago, this saddens but doesn't surprise me.

Just got an invite to the card beta from @Idx86! Thanks! I haven't been this excited about trading cards since I had a tin full of X-Men cards in the '90s.

What is this I hear about a Steam card game?

Finally. Jesus, this build was determined to fight me. Oh well, least she's working now. (Old and busted, and the new hotness.)

So! What'd I miss, Steam thread? I feel like I've been away for a month.

...collectable cards, you say? Oh boy. Ohhhh boy

Nah.

Sure, you have to accept their right to have an opinion, regardless of how incredibly bad it may be.

But you don't have to respect the opinion.

Like. If I said, Borderlands 2 had terrible dialogue, you have to respect that I may feel that way.

But considering the opinion itself would be so impossibly wrong as to risk imploding existence, you don't have to respect the opinion!

And now for something completely different!

Can someone clarify for me how pricing on the Steam Market works? Say, a card I have's lowest sell price shows up as $0.89. When I list my card it asks me what I will get and what the buyer will pay after fees. My question is: Is 'what the buyer pays' the same as what I see on the market, that $0.89? Or when the buyer clicks that $0.89 will they have to pay fees on top of that? I.E. If I list what I get at $0.89 will that be what it shows on the market?

Yep. Sorry.

I got three invites to this Steam Trading Card Beta madness burning a hole in my virtual pocket. Anyone who hasn't managed to grab one yet, just let me know. I'll be glad to send them out to the first three to ask. These babies are worth about 17 cents on the open market, so you're getting quite the bargain.

APODionysus

S, I need Portal 2 cards to reach level 10.

I have a spare Intro.

I need any of Mannequin, Underground, Chell, Destruction, or Finale.

If anyones up for a trade before I go onto the market, send me a friend request on Steam or meessage me there if we're already friends

I just checked out the steam community, and is Bills Hat for TF2 really selling for over $100? I think I may need to sell it...

Bill's hat is worth around 2 buds, which is worth around $70 ($35 per bud).

TeeMan

I wonder what percentage of TF2 players purchase items at and over $100. Is the economy banking on whales?

Stabbity Style

I sold my $230 hat for $160 in sellable small items and a $70 hat, so at least one? And apparently there are a couple massive spenders. The guy with the biggest backpack has like 30k worth of TF2 stuff.

Yes, please, I would like an invite. My Steam ID is in the sig.

Seriously? I have that hat and I don't even play TF2 anymore.

Seems like the sort of person that would "invest" in the development of Project CARS hoping to see some kind of return one day i.e.: a complete bender

I've still got a pair of invites to the card beta if anyone wants them just add me on steam and send me a message and they are yours.

A massive thank you to @Luchaire who saw fit to brighten my work night with a gift of Postal 2! Only 31 to go for that 1000 Mark! You rock and I hope you have a fantastic birthday!

Hell of an Amazon sale.

Big thanks to Ashe and Oakke who both gifted me digital drugs card beta invites.

Stabbity Style

Woo, got my first Foil card! A Portal 2 Destruction Foil.

Gonna put that up on the market and hope it sells.

emp123

I got all the cards I can get and no foils, but I did get several duplicates so

On the plus side this has gotten me to finally play through Portal 2, which so far is easy but totally worth playing for the dialog.

oakke

So, does the "wait til lvl10 before farming for cards" trick work at all? Don't wanna miss my chances of getting one myself.

I have a duplicate CS:GO Anarchist if you want to trade.

And yes, Portal 2 is a pretty great game.

cooljammer00

Sadly, I think I'm totes done with all the games I can get cards in except for TF2, DOTA2, and CSGO, and I'm not going to spend money for virtual cards. Woulda been nice to get a shiny and sell it at a profit, but now I'm gonna focus on getting a damn Wolfgang/Don't Starve card to complete my set.

Anyone want a Gordon Freeman?

hatedinamerica

Alright, checked Arkham City off the ever-expanding backlog. (So good.) Not nearly done with it though. 30 some odd hours in, says Steam, and I finish the game....with my overall completion at 54%. Uh oh. I think I might be getting into something here.

obligatory "GFWL is the most awfulest piece of shit ever" rant goes here. seriously i want to murder it in the face


Also, I wouldn't be inclined to decline a card beta invite, if anybody has extras. :bz

Well it works because you can't get foils until you are level 10. But unless you have a large amount of years of service and the badges from previous sales you won't be level 10 without actually starting to collect some decks.
