Poisoned, broken, and definitely poorer. Senior Member 545 posts Joined: Aug 2005 From: Where kiasu/kiasi lives	I was trying to get one Skyrim card to complete my collection but I could never get even one. It is really scary how Steam could market a virtual card that barely cost anything to draw (assuming they just re-use some of the game scrap arts) and still earn load of money from it. It was around 14-18 cents when I first started F5 last night and by the time I quit, it was a steady 25 cents market for Skyrim card. It also gives me a feeling that someone got a bot or really fast fingers in snapping any cards that are less than 20 cents.

Senior Member 545 posts Joined: Aug 2005 From: Where kiasu/kiasi lives	QUOTE(kof91 @ Jul 23 2013, 09:56 AM) steam sales over now its gonna be hard to get ninja cheap cards.. less ppl will be selling for sure and price will rise.. Gaben laughing all the way to the bank From Dota2 to Steam cards, Valve is an awesome place to work at now. The bonuses will definitely be a very good one unless uncle GabeN send the money to his Swiss account already. QUOTE(limjenson @ Jul 23 2013, 10:15 AM) me too! I kept clicking F5. I clicked on nearly 100 cards and all was sold by the time I click buy. Really seems like there was a bot buying all the skyrim cards. Then after that I saw 1 user selling nearly 5 skyrim card at 30 cents at the same time. I gave up in the end and just click on a 20 cents Skyrim card and be done with it. Was hoping to complete more badges but with how scary the market is, I gonna stick with trading only. If can get, then I will do it else I will just stick back to gaming.

QUOTE(limjenson @ Jul 23 2013, 10:36 AM) At least you managed to click 20 cents Skyrim. Anything < 25 cents was gone whenever I clicked. Build a bot! My interns did a recorded test script for software testing previously, and last night it makes me considering in changing it to click cards for me instead.

Summer Skyrim card =D I sold all of my Skyrim cards for 26 cents each - not much but it sponsored some game somehow. *I don't really mind crafting the cards for fun (and shiny virtual badges) thru trading but I can't bring myself to start paying more than pennies to get cards. Gaming itself is an expensive and time-exhausting hobby, haha, don't wanna start on virtual cards/badges too.

I bought it in inventory If your list of friends = memphiz, Deimos, alex, etc then I think you will continously see purchases. The last list of purchases from memphiz entirely blocked the display of friends activity on my mobile Steam

Am not a player on those 2 games.(no game time yet lol) For Dota 2, you need to play and it randomly drop after each game (another random drop will be given for everytime you leveled up as well). For TF2, you can idle for it (there's a fix amount each week if I remember it correctly).

Poisoned, broken, and definitely poorer. Senior Member 545 posts Joined: Aug 2005 From: Where kiasu/kiasi lives	QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Jul 29 2013, 10:10 AM) I dont think the DLCs are handled as badly as before as a lot of the DLCs has been focusing on mainly adding lots of content, such as DLCs from games like Borderlands 2, Skyrim, Dishonored, Crusader King 2 and even Battlefield 3 to the point, some DLCs are essential to enjoy the game. These DLCs add a tonne of content to the price to pay and I dont see whats wrong of paying up for it if you are enjoying the game. For Borderlands 2, agreed though I am rather disappointed that they are not going to release any more season pass for the newer DLCs. Buying each individually gonna be painful and waiting for GOTY gonna be a drag. QUOTE(Boldnut @ Jul 29 2013, 10:23 AM) So i guess it is a no-go to idle farm free cards/items from there? For Dota 2, no – you must play it for item drops. For card drops, pay 9.99 for each card drop (which is really silly IMO). I think you can get the cards far cheaper on the market if you are looking for some. QUOTE(kof91 @ Jul 29 2013, 11:02 AM) so far none of the project I funded is released yet.. I got project Eternity + Star Citizen, and man, they really spam my inbox with updates. I guess in some sense, at least there are some updates and not the bad news like what happened with a board game project from Kickstarter. The big guy just say “I quit” one day and there goes the project - $120k+ gone down the drain.

Didn’t know that they changed that already – haha, I stopped idling for a while now, HDD crashed while idling for cards during the Summer sales. QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Jul 29 2013, 11:38 AM) Eternity and Star Citizen are quite good at keeping people up to date, but most of my other projects arent so good. There is always a chance of failure though, regardless of size of the project. I am actually worried bout Star Citizen – the expectation, the money, and the pressure. It will be a very big kaput if the team doesn’t deliver enough/correctly. Now that I think bout it, I have yet to go pick up my Scout (or Mercenary, can’t remember) card from my friend. I am currently withholding all future backings until I get either of the games or I found one idea that gives the 'Oooomph', lol.

Senior Member 545 posts Joined: Aug 2005 From: Where kiasu/kiasi lives	QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Jul 29 2013, 04:13 PM) » Click to show Spoiler - click again to hide... « The problem with Star Citizen is, i felt like they still felt like all light show, not much substance at the moment because there arent any alpha builds available to the community or any actual gameplay footage. A kickstarter project is just like any endeavors in life, as it will never be a smooth sail from the start to the end. Some will made it to the finish line while some will give up half way. I know that Broken Age having issues with their funding, it might be just a rough patch for them but i'll still think its worth risking with some disposable income that you dont mind getting nothing in return. Only if you liked their idea they pitched to you. Tim Shafer is really bad at managing their finance though. If an idea is good, i'll still try my best to back it as i think it is better to let the indies to have their chance to develop something they truly own it themselves. However, i really think the kickstarter model is really flawed in many ways. Just my 2 cents. My problem with Kickstarter is that there seems to be so many great (and even grand) ideas but I have yet to ever gotten or see anything concrete yet. I guess for me to start dumping money, I really have to love the idea or know the developers won’t simply give up and walk away. And yeah, Star Citizen is still bling bling without something to try yet but I can't deny that I dumped the money mainly because I just wanna captain a ship in space again. It has been way too long since a decent game like Freelancer. I can only hope that Chris Roberts don't shit on my dream, lol. QUOTE(ben3003 @ Jul 29 2013, 04:15 PM) xcom bureau worth pre-order or not? IMO XCOM The Bureau is worth pre-ordering if they hit level 2 and you don't already own a copy of XCOM Enemy Unknown (not sure if they gift you again if you already have it). The older XCOM games are just icing on the cake. I would have dumped the money for this if I didn't buy XCOM Enemy Unknown before summer.

Great driving physics with a really fun to drift physics while the game has quite a lot of motorsports covered from touring cars to 24 hours Le Mans. On top of that, it has a great sense of running a team where you can brand your team and also manage your co-driver. One of the best games ever made so far.

Music coming from the master of JRPG music himself. Yup, and the game concept looks good as well. QUOTE(d-ky @ Aug 13 2013, 02:46 PM) what's the minimum amount to get the game? 20 usd? For the base game only, yeap, min USD20. QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Aug 13 2013, 02:52 PM) After seeing the conceptual screenshot, I am interested. Crap. Why is the goal is only 100k? Thats damn little to make a game? Even a uni student's game needs like 75k for one year of development. Same here, saw the screenshots and it looks damn yummy. Plus the people enlisted for this one, it look so much like a win for sure. My only concern for this game is the delivery date, man, Nov 2014 the earliest and for the addon items by March 2015. Worried that I might have a kid in hand by the time this game is out *In regarding to the low KS amount - they are just getting 100k for the 3D development, the rest are going to be royalty based (sales based profit, I guess). It is in their FAQs, take a look see. For info, they broke the KS amount in just 1 day time.

Senior Member 545 posts Joined: Aug 2005 From: Where kiasu/kiasi lives	QUOTE(Cheesenium @ Aug 13 2013, 03:21 PM) Is it just me of the in-engine concept felt a bit chibi or something? Like everything is small and a bit cute. My concern is, I am fine if they dont take salary but are these AAA developers going to work on their free time or they are just gonna do unpaid work for the next whole year? I am assuming that it uses Unity so it might speed things up a bit. For your case, i actually dunno how to help you or even what to say. Seriously, the music sample on the KS is awesome. Pledged one game this month, another one next month. I can forget about buying games on release then, and keep playing all the buggy stuff from KS. I actually don’t mind the chibi-ness, after all most older/general JRPG used to be designed in that way (Disgaea, Ys, older FF series etc). I miss having games like that haha. Based on what I can read so far, it seems that the developers will really do the work for free until the game is out for sale. Maybe there are some hidden publisher or company sponsoring something here and there. Music is being managed from the legend himself haha, he has a lot to answer if the music is no good. I am likely to go for it but I am checking if I can poison my gamer kaki to combo the Fiery Steed ($80) pledge. Pricey but it seems like a worthwhile investment. Tempted for the Artisan or Treasure Hunter but hmm, have to see if I can poison the guy successfully first. *On having a kid, haha, if I kena one by 2015, this will be his first b'day present then.

It is mentioned/answered in the FAQs section also – both digital copies for any tiers from Adventure for Two and onwards will receive all appropriate digital items (e.g. mounts etc); yes, both accounts will get the digital items. Just poisoned my friend; will be getting Fiery Steed (let’s ride the phoenix lol).
