Steam Summer Sale and cards

CC was a proponent of Expeditions:Conquistador. He posted about it somewhere in this subforum.

Yeah, Expeditions is good fun.  And a fair amount of replayability since your decisions in each interaction determine the story line.

Serious Sam package is off 75%, for under 9 bucks you can get the whole package. I've been waiting for a while for these mindless shooters to go on sale. And I paid using the money I earned selling trading cards I earned buying two or three games, voting in the community choice and playing some games I already own.

Nice.  I just bought that and Dawn of War II along with a few of the expansion packs.  I don't fully understand the whole Steam thing at the moment, but I'm working on it.  I pretty much only peruse it during the summer sale event.

Dishonored and it's main DLC 'The Knife of Dunwall' for less than $14? I'll take it.

God damn it.  I bought that for 17$ without the DLC yesterday.

That sucks.

I know it's a pretty good game and I've been waiting for a good sale. I think I'll enjoy it. There's another DLC coming out soon that is supposed to be the DRAMATIC CONCLUSION to the Knife of Dunwall DLC. I'll probably wait till another Steam sale for that too. lulz

I also picked up System Shock 2 for $2.50. I've never played it so I hope I'm in for a treat.

Holy shit, you most certainly are.

What's all this cards business? It turns out I have some.

I don't get it either.  It seems that you can sell them, but what is the point of someone buying them?

No idea, i've noticed besides buying games when playing ones that i've been getting cards too.

You can earn stuff with them, mostly Badges and TF2 items.

[Ed Anger]

Yay. More hats.

[Grey Fox]

It's akin to Xbox live gamerscore really. A gimmick that you can atleast make some money out of if you don't care about badges or your steam level.

[FunkMonk]

Yeah just sell them so you can save like $1 or two on your next Steam purchase.

If you like obtuse interfaces and gameplay design where more than half way through you're suddenly stuck because you didn't level the right skills. Still, great game nevertheless.
