I honestly do not understand this Trading Card nonsense. All I know is that sometimes when I buy games or vote, I get something pop up in my inventory - usually a card for a game I don't own. I don't like this at all.
I've got some extra Reus and Torchlight II cards, though it's probably worth waiting til the sale's almost over before I start offering to trade them.
Man, this is all so much more complicated than just earning the badge through voting and stuff.
I crafted the badge five times and have roughly half of them.
Also, the Community Choice right now is weird.
There's a vote for 66% off Strike Suit Zero, which is 75% off RIGHT NOW. I think it's probably an error and the deal is supposed to be 85% off like Bastion, but for whatever reason the vote as it is now is to get a price INCREASE.

Not the first time earlier with Civ V it said it would be 40% off when it was already 50% off...
It turned out to be 75%...
Just grabbed the 2 Arkham GOTY games for 13 bucks, that's a steal if I ever saw one, considering Arkham City includes all the DLC. That should keep me busy for a while

Already owned some (*) of those, but it was time to get them to Steam.
And, of course, some (^) were purchased through my card-experiences.
Nice. I own all of those except The Night of the Rabbit. I'm waiting for it to go down in price as I haven't even played half of my Daedalic games yet.
A reminder not to touch Infestation: Survivor Stories with a thousand mile bargepole, since it's The WarZ by any other name. Seriously, stay the hell away from it.
Ryan - I think we're waiting 'til the last day to trade cards so we can build up a nice collection beforehand.
If you get Saints Row 2 (which I highly recommend, it's the game GTA4 should have been) then I'd also insist you get the Gentlemen of the Row mod, which fixes all lot of the issues that come as a result of a questionable PC port, as well as adds a bunch of other cool stuff.
Also, why is no-one talking about Star Trek the video game being so cheap?
I considered posting about that, but from what I've heard it's a pretty lackluster-to-mediocre game that's neither bad enough nor good enough to warrant any discussion. I didn't think anybody would care.
It's a fiver. Three months after it came out. And it's a major title.
I genuinely thought that would be worth talking about. Oh well.
Well if you can find someone to play co-op it might be good. (if they fixed co-op by now that it). If not prepare your body to wait 30+ minutes for your AI-partner.

Hmmm...
WHY ISN'T IT TOMORROW YET?!
I have no idea what that is, but I'm imagining something like Roller Coaster Tycoon... but with prisons.
Also, why is no-one talking about Star Trek the video game being so cheap?
