Steam's jammed and not displaying anything yet. <_<

 

Just hover over the individual titles.

 

And, NOOOOOO! Not a single game on my remaining list is discounted, god damn it Steam! You had one job! Maybe I'll farm some cards and see if I can get VVVVVV in the end......

Damn it, trying to find something else to buy. Only spent $119.13. 

 

I loved Saints Row 3 on Xbox 360, what do you guys think about the Saints Row Franchise Pack for $18.74 (75% off).

 

How does it run on PC? I've heard a lot of different stories.

3 and 4 run very well, SR4 is the best one, 3 is a bit shit IMO.

 

2 was one of the worst PC ports ever probably hence what you've heard.

Final day... :(  this year's sale felt like it went faster than last year. Maybe it was because I didn't see a lot of games I personally thought was interesting? Hmm.

Uh technically the sale is still going on and I got to level 8 and I don't get all the cards for voting?  What a joke.  I was working on getting one last account to level 8 and now I see it was bumped to level 8 by Steam probably by some Summer Sale achievement for it being over with even if it is not over with.  Heck can we even get items still with the Summer Sale cards by combining them to make a badge?

You can craft the badges still I do believe, but the teams won't benefit from it. I leveled up to 8 last night and it took a couple hours and by that time, I was bumped to level 9 because the whole team thing ended. I'd say give it a few hours first. If the cards don't come by then, you might not get them. :(

So since this is the end of the sale, and the SSS Adventure cards only have about 17 hours until they expire (as of this posting), the market is very active. 

SSS Adventure card 3 has been sold 240,000 times in the last 24 hours. Valve just made ~$2,500. Whoever came up with this trading card thing must be the golden goose over there (I assume it was Gabe). 

Overall, I've noticed that trading cards for really popular games sell for between $0.05 and $0.15 usually. Other games you'd expect less people to play push $0.20-$0.40. Agarest: Generations of War is an example of this. In fact, the backgrounds for this game go for $2-$3 usually. Probably because people want them and they are rare, which I think because most backgrounds for most games sell for $0.03 (effectively $0.01 since Valve & the dev get $0.01 each too).

Edit: Also, I know I've said it a bit already, but Archon: Classic is an awesome LAN party type game. It has a campaign too, so singleplayer fun can be had. It supports controllers very well. My nephew, my friend from high school, and I all played a 3 way FFA then did a 4 player (one CPU opponent) team battle. It was epic. 

And I recommend One Way Heroics for anyone who enjoys 8-bit RPGs with a bit of difficulty. 

Those are the 2 best dollars I've spent all sale so far. I haven't had time to play anything else I've bought sadly. That might change once I do, but I've gotten enough enjoyment out of them so far that I'd say I'd buy them if they were over $5. $10 would be pushing it, but still, they are really fun.
