    The gamification of something we had already applied gamification rules to.

    We're through the looking glass here people...


    Not meta enough. I want a game where we trade actual steam accounts, where the account is given an aggregate value based upon it's (total games owned * hours played) / (# of steam friends + gifts given).

    Your equation is flawed. It punishes Classiness. Out of the thread! Out!

    The lower the score the better, you know, like golf!

    If you get the Beta access invites in your inventory, you don't need to redeem one yourself, correct?

    First three to PM me get invites.

    Not even gonna look at that card game.

    Nope.

    I am but a man.

    I will take solace in my TF2-less and Dota-less identity.

    And sit upon my throne of denial.

    Apparently I am level 4.

    I have no idea how this works. I'm guessing I just play the game in question and it will pass me a card on occasion? But it seems each game is limited and you can't complete a whole set. Which means you'll have to trade with someone who doesn't want whatever the set gives but still plays enough of the game to get card drops? That seems, off.

    I will jump on this giving stuff away bandwagon. I have 4 DOTA2 invites and 1 nuclear dawn gift if anyone wants them.

    In case this was missed, the latest Groupees Be Mine Bundle (here) is an amazing value. Blood Bowl Legendary, Drakensang, Fairy Bloom Fresia and Patrician IV + Expansion.

    And with that said - I have a key for Blood Bowl Legendary if any one wants it just send me a PM or message me on Steam.

    From the Steam page, it appears to be football but with orcs and SecuROM?

    Guess I'm replaying Portal 2 tonight!

    I'm level 10. And my Golden Potato is where it belongs: featured on my profile.

    *edit* Still have two invites, PM me with your steamid (if we're not friends already) and I'll pass it along.

    Level 8! Woo!

    And now I have a reason to play through Portal 2 again. Oh, and a reason to finally play HL2! I've always wanted to finally play that.

    HL2 is reason enough to play through HL2, but yeah I like the idea of getting incentive to play through games that I've been putting off.

    So how are these cards working? Do you just get them for time played? Or for completing achievements, or what?

    If more folks get invites I'd love one thrown my way - I can't accept it for a few hours though.

    @cooljammer00 - Blood bowl is basically turned based fantasy football. I can't really vouch for the DRM (I already had it from an Amazon sale so I don't need it on Steam too).

  • CorriganXCorriganX Registered User regular
    So when you check the cards that drop, they have a max amount of drops you can get, which is roughly half the total drops. For instance you get 4 drops from Dota 2 and theres 8 total dota cards. However I've had 2 of the same card (Tiny) drop. :( Someone get some doters cards so I can trade.

    Nobody wanted my coupon for Shogun 2, so I'm tempted to buy it if somebody can tell me if the loading times, which apparently are horrible and take forever each time you switch from the overview map to a battle, got fixed/optimized in the past few patches?

    I don't remember excessive loading times when entering a battle. Game takes forever to launch though.

    Ok, I need to actually go do work now. But before I wander away, a thought:

    I almost told someone I'm a level 10 Steamer.

    We're going to need to get on top of finding a better name for this shit before it sticks.

    They're not retroactive, so no one starts with any.

    I've already got 3 Dota 2 cards, though.

    Everyone needs to buy the bundle with Fairy Bloom Freesia in it, because it is adorable and violent in equal measure.

    Also I would like one of those trading card game invites if anyone has a spare. I need a reason to replay some older games instead of getting to new ones. :)

    the beta invites have already rocketed to over 50 cents, anything lower gets snapped up instantly. I guess people really want to save <40 cents.
