Did you know there is a Steam Link app on the iOS/Google Play stores that allows you to stream your games to your phones, tablets, and other such devices?

I just saw that today, I think. The Google one still says Beta, but I'll give it a shot.

Sale is live... the way to get cards or something is weird. I don't get it. Looks like you have to... do things.

Ha! I was, literally, coming to post the same thing. I don't like it either. If your sale's game needs several pages of explanation, it sucks.

I joined Hare for what it's worth. I guess I should have joined Corgi who is way out in front, but I assume since that resets daily it'll change daily. I have no idea if I should buy things today or when my team is winning?

In related news, my wishlist is at 603 games. I really should stop using it as a way to mark games I'm interested in learning more about, as well as, ones I actually want.

That's an awesome idea. Mind if I suggest it to Valve?

Can't own an idea, why not?

Or, to be able to apply private tags. Either way.

The private tags idea isn't bad either. I will suggest both when I jump on in 33 minutes to see what's what in the latest store offerings.

Sure you can, just scribble it and send it to a patent lawyer and hope the PTO is sleeping or incompetent.

I think I got fucked.

It was 12:56 p.m. and Hare was in 2nd place. I looked again at 1:20 and hadn't refreshed and Hare was way out in 1st place.

Refreshed my screen and it says Hare didn't even finish in the top 3. WTF?

First of all, *loser.

Secondly, you should get a lifetime "Pussy" tag on your Steam account for joining the team that was currently winning.

People are exploiting the game:

So, more than likely, everyone on Team Corgi is a cheating piece of shit. :D
