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!

ArcSyn · May 2013

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.

Ceno · May 2013

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.

Albino Bunny · May 2013

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.

Rhiley · May 2013

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?

Houn · May 2013

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.

ArcSyn · May 2013

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.

edit: 1 invite left.

cooljammer00 · May 2013

edit: Got one, thanks.

Drovek · May 2013

I'm only level 10. I see people here at 11.

I'm not serving enough

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.

Undead Scottsman · May 2013

If I was home, I'd totally take an invite. Won't be home for another six hours though. :S

RoyceX7 · May 2013

Thanks @ArcSyn for the cards beta access invite. Carddddsssssssss

Houn · May 2013

Hrm, I've never traded on Steam before. Anyone want to trade DOTA invites when I get off work? >.>

Undead Scottsman · May 2013

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

CorriganX · May 2013

I was watching the Dota 2 Qualifiers, and had a Dota 2 card appear in my inventory.

Ceno · May 2013

Damn you @Todesbart.

Damn you.

Ceno · May 2013

How do you even access the card thing through Steam?

MuddBudd · May 2013

If there are card beta invites still floating around, toss one my way.

Alegis · May 2013

Trading cards? This is so vain and pointless

...

You betcha I want in on this.

Lindsey Lohan · May 2013

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).

Badges, specifically.

Wooden Spoon · May 2013

Wait...trading cards? I haven't even had a chance to properly get to know The Newell yet...it's simply too much.

Gotta quit my job now.

cooljammer00 · May 2013

I guess these badges aren't retroactive, huh? Coulda sworn I've done a lot of these things already.

Icemopper · May 2013

Oh man, I definitely want in. This sounds interesting to say the least.

If anyone has an extra invite, I'll take it off your hands!

Ceno · May 2013

Okay, looks like I'm level 5 in badges? No cards. I don't think I play any of the games that drop them.

SniperGuy · May 2013

OH MY GOD I JUST LEARNED OF THIS STUFF

My body needs an invite. Anyone have an invite I can bum?

CorriganX · May 2013

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.

Ashe · May 2013

Wait, the card shenanigans. We actually have to play games?

(Don't look at my Steam sig, I'm not playing it, honest. Just... leaving it open in the background.)

CorriganX · May 2013

You dont have to play them, you just have to have them loaded.

Houn · May 2013

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.

Wooden Spoon · May 2013

What is it that they call people in cults? Oh yeah, Acolytes. You're a level 10 Acolyte.

chocobolicious · May 2013

This card thing. If anyone, you know, has an invite I'd totally take it off your hands.

Lindsey Lohan · May 2013

How limited do invites seem to be at this point? Hard to get or more like the one I still have in my inventory for the new interface beta?

baudattitude · May 2013

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.

CourtOfOwls · May 2013

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.
