FYI, if you're going to buy Tomb Raider, it's cheaper on Amazon than on Steam (you'll get a valid Steam Key for the game with the Amazon purchase). Plus you can put in a gift code, GOONCAVE, for a further 15% off the Amazon price. The deal is US-only, but if you can get a US resident to buy it for you, they can just send you the Steam key (which is what I did).

It's the same appeal as hats.

People you're playing with see your hats. Who sees your cards?

(I don't get hats either, frankly.)

People don't see your cards, but they see the badges you get from cards.
You can also get backgrounds and emotes that can be used in Steam (Posts on steam message boards or in steamchat)

Or you could have been selling the cards for like 20 cents per. I haven't spent a real dollar on steam for the past month.

If you get a bunch of cards from the same set you can trade them in for badges, of which we don't need no stinkin'.

You have to get a complete set from a game to make a badge for that game, and you can never get a full set for a game just from playing it.

You can get 20 cents per card? Where can you do that?

Yeah, the sale has been crashing the prices of any games you'd already own with cards. The lowest I've seen has been 8 cents per card, and it can only go more downhill from there.

I expect any game worth playing will have it's cards go for a nickel at most when we're done. Shit like Zack Zero and The Dark will remain strong, because those games are so awful they hoped cards would make people buy the game (It did not work)

Steam has been down so much this week, the thumbnail in my Chrome new tab page just says, "Sorry!" instead of "Steam".

My stupid loves-to-play-with-dolls heart is eyeing Sims 3 content, but other persons in the family have portions of the series via Origin, and Steam and Origin don't play nice.

Airland Battle is on sale, It's the best RTS game i've played for a loooong time, the first game in the series was a little bit of a letdown, but this one addressed pretty much all of the problems it had and made it so much better.

I bought it for a friend just then, and i'll probably buy copies for some more people before the sale's over.

At five dollars it just feels wrong to not finally pay for the hundred of hours I've played New Vegas.
