Another thing this makes me want to do is hook up my PC to my TV and try out the big screen support.

I was up until 4:15 and 4:30 Friday and Saturday due to gaming.

Trust me, the non-gaming side of me hates it.

Trading Cards: I have an extra Bioshock Infinite and an extra Chivalry if anyone wants them.

So was I, technically. My game was just moving and unpacking. Yours was probably more fun.

I have the following extras if anybody wants them:

5 x Bioshock Infinite
6 x Chivalry: Medieval Warfare
6 x Dead Island Riptide
1 x Kerbal Space Program
2 x Torchlight II

If anyone can spare a Football manager 2013, Reus, Skyrim, or Tomb Raider, I'd be much appreciative.

I put 2 of my extras up for sale and got $0.13 each. So there's 26 cents I can spend on games now.

Yeah, I figured after the sale is over I'll put up have of the duplicates, and the other half in about 9 months when they are less common.

Bought three games, tried them all, mostly liked them.

Then I got tired of them by the end of the weekend and ended up downloading and installing Dwarf Fortress again.

I bought way too many games, as usual.

But I also bought a much bigger hard drive so I can have more of them installed at once. I might get around to playing some of them now.

Bought some games, tried a few of them.

Finally crafted that badge. It gave me a background, an emoticon, and another trading card. Bha.

All these sweet deals, and now when I log in all I see is Planetary Annihilation for the cheap price of 90 dollars. Mother of god.

Steam OS

Allows streaming from your PC running Steam onto crappy hardware.

Not sure what this really means.

Sounds to me like they are trying to do games sort of like how On Live does, but streamed to your TV on your local network from your own PC instead of from elsewhere online to your PC.
