    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.

    Those aren't "for games", they're for the "Summer Getaway" set.

    Yeah, I realise that now.

    Still don't own half of them though.

    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%...

    The Strike Suit Zero possible reduction has been changed to 85% off. Problem solved!

    I cba to bother with cards.
  • edited July 2013
    I like the cards, I just wish they had alternate means of doling out booster packs.
  • edited July 2013
    Beeeeeeeh, I only need the Torchlight II card to craft the badge.

    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

  • edited July 2013

    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.
  • edited July 2013
    This time, I remembered that, and will definitely not be supporting it.

    I got Risen 2 instead. *brace for impact*

  • edited July 2013
    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.

    I agree that GotR is basically an essential, almost akin to an unofficial patch.

    I have no idea what that is, but I'm imagining something like Roller Coaster Tycoon... but with prisons.

    That is extremely close to what it actually is.

    Does that mean that the deals starting tomorrow are the last daily deals of the summer sale?
  • edited July 2013
    It's supposed to be on-going until the 22nd, so I'd be surprised if tomorrow's deals were the last.

    Also, why is no-one talking about Star Trek the video game being so cheap?
  • edited July 2013
    Because the Star Trek game was ass.

    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.
  • edited July 2013
    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.
  • edited July 2013
    I assume they figured that's how cheap it needed to be to appeal to the game-review-reading crowd

    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.

    Even I'm looking at reviews and that $7.50 tag going....ehhhh I'll wait.

    Still no Kingdoms of Amalur, WTF Rhode Island? Ahh well, thanks to poor impulse control I snagged it during the daily deal a couple months back.
