I bought some games... let's see if I actually get a chance to play them before the next sale.

This article irritates me because it is probably true.

Which means that without TPR being around, I've got no competition for "Top Bitch".

I've always snarked that not having kids will.mean your funeral will be empty, with nothing but an Xbox achievement board next to.your casket. So just change that to a list of your steam games, right before they are deleted because you can't pass.them on.

I now have a 2-page list of encoded logons/passwords.... and then the kid will receive the master key to it, after the funeral.

I'll be damned if all my digital property is lost at my death just because of a bullshit EULA. I'd like to see some court rulings on that.

I'm actually kind of amazed one hasn't happened yet.

The game sucks. It's lame as hell, and that's reflected in what sectors of planets are being conquered immediately. Folks are doing hard then medium because low is too slow and lame.

This was a good idea, but they should try using a fun game next time.

So... I need a 5 and a 10 card, if anyone has them.

Can trade 1, 2, 4, 7, 6, 8, or 9

I just sent you a 10 for a 9.

I only have 1 #5.

I have several (foil) cards. Sell them or are they worth something special?

Sell.
Steam Foil Trading cards can be crafted into foil badges, similar to how you can craft normal badges from normal trading cards. Other than that, it is useless, but everyone thinks they need one. They are essentially rarer trading cards. They are found the same way normal trading cards are.

Accepted.

Still need a #5. Guess I could sell some other cards.

I crafted two badges. They gave me worthless stuff.

Scammers on Steam using fake DOTA 2 items as bait.

Steam is #1, but it's concerning that Valve appears to be getting complacent. They need to establish some standards and enforce them.

Does anyone else hesitate to buy games outside of events because:
A. You might earn something for buying during an event.
B. Maybe the sale price now isn't as good as the sale price during an event.

I have let so many games on sale go by simply because of those thoughts.

Yes / Yes.

But mostly because my backlog is still huge.

I created a category called "meh".

When I install a game, if it hasn't grabbed my attention in the first hour, it gets uninstalled and thrown in there.

I rarely ever buy games over $5 these days, so it doesn't mean much to me to condemn a game. The AAA titles I do pay more for never disappoint me enough to get thrown into "meh".

So.when you launch a porn game, everyone in your steam friend list is notified?

Like we'll all get an alert, "Leisher is now playing Cum Guzzler?"
