@Askew, I think I figured it out. 

It isn't just a matter of getting points. Apparently, you can steal points too. If you look at the daily breakdown for points, there are bars under the graph showing when a team had points stolen from them. I'm not sure how that works honestly. There's no mention of it anywhere else, but it explains how one team can get so far ahead of the others. 

For example, today, Green Team was ahead early on, but then had tons (10,000+) of points stolen from them. It doesn't say who stole them though. I'm assuming it's the other teams.

 

My mind is full of fuck, so there's crime now?

It is stupid that points can get stolen and not explained how it was done. :angry:

It seems that you can earn tokens by crafting badges, and with those tokens you can earn bonus points, steal points from other teams, or switch the player to a different team. The information can be found here: http://store.steampowered.com/news/13702/

And FPS - RPG won! Good job guys, I'll be getting Deus Ex HR directors cut now. I'll have to skip on Fallout though, too bad since it's a really good deal.

 

Oh wow...... Are you guys excited for farming simulator 2013 titanium edition as well?! Such an amazing game! 10 outta 10, would rate again!

Anyone who doesn't own Deus Ex: HR should really do themselves a favour and get the Director's Cut for this super low price.

Thanks, I picked it up. Just need Fallout 3: GOTY and Left 4 Dead 1 & 2

 

Left 4 Dead games, so damn good Valve really know how to make a co-op zombie shooter.

Oops sorry I didn't see that or I'd have posted.

I didn't care for either set of games this community choice, so I just voted based on the best deals.

I was going to buy it but then I saw the game has problems running on Windows 7 and above.

That has been there since it came onto steam, it runs fine on my W7 machine and if you scan the web for reports the consensus is that the warning is false.

I wanted to buy Transistor but sadly it isn't getting a huge discount.

I did search for it and apparently it's true. the main problem appears to be about quad core CPUs. There is a fix involving editing an .INI file and restricting the game to run on dual core but I honestly don't care to do so. Why? Because if I buy game on Steam I expect it to work right away. If I have to do fiddling what's the point? Why can't Bethesda fix it?

Why can't Bethesda fix it?

Because Bethesda has a spotty developer record imo. Every game I've ever played of theirs has had major bugs, of which only the game breaking ones get fixed.

They are on par with Bioware in regards to this in my experience. In regards to Bioware, every game I've played of theirs has had some glitch that made things horribly unbalanced if abused. Obviously that's on the player to abuse it, but hey, it's there. Kind of breaks immersion and leveling in RPGs imo. 

I just don't expect quality development from those two developers. Don't get me wrong, all games have bugs, but they consistently have noticeable and detrimental bugs in their games from my experience, and they aren't always fixed.

The undisputed kings of leaving massive issues unfixed for exorbitant amounts of time if even ever attended to are IMO Infinity Ward, they even ignore console games.

Thanks for the people that voted that group of games that had Nether in it.  Definitely wanted to buy and got two copies.   :)

I also wanted it pretty bad and I'm talking a couple friends into it since it's just $3 :P
