In my personal opinion, the Bastion soundtrack is well worth splurging on. I listen to it for days at a time...

You know what I'd kill for at the moment? The ability to have multiple tabs open in Steam. I'd do terrible terrible things for that.

If you use their browser-based interface you can.


On another note, I'm pretty happy to see Prison Architect get some exposure in this sale. Introversion Software is another little company I've been a fan of for some time (for all their real problems, Uplink and Darwinia are still pretty neat), and though this isn't the project of theirs I wanted right away, PA does look like they've got it coming along very nicely.

When I use Steam in the browser it asks me to login almost every freaking time, which makes it a lot less convenient. It is so, so much faster than the client, though.

Zeno Clash 2 for 50% off in a flash sale! That's the one thing I really wanted from this sale. Plus, I got someone to split a two-pack with me, so it was almost 75% less. Now I can stop buying things.

My wishlist keeps growing. :( I managed to pick up Sim City 4 and Scribblenauts on the starting capital of cards from games I already have and obsessive market playing. Those and the Spiderweb Humble pack are more than enough additions for me, in addition to when I get the stupid paycard money transferred to my bank and get you back later this week for Gunpoint, LTK.

EDIT: Of course now I also want Zeno 1 and 2, because I played a ZC2 demo a long time ago and thought it was just too weird and interesting not to want.

ZC1 is amazing. The gameplay is neat and engaging, but it's the world that really sets it apart.

Zeno Clash was on sale for 99 cents throughout the entire 2012 Autumn sale. What happened to you, Steam? You used to be cool.

Also: Some of the psychological principles that make Steam trading cards succesful.

(Awesomenauts is also dirt cheap from yesterday's sale if you didn't already have it. Warning: CHEESY BUT AWESOME)

Oh god, they've given developers the ability to connect in-game rewards to the badges you get from collecting trading cards. This can only end badly.

Bastion <3

Yes.  Build that wall, and the ending!

I have an emotional attachment to the game.  And possibly to Rucks voice.

As for your Dragon Age comment, Alistair and Leliana > Morrigan

Sorry, I have too big a crush on Claudia Black to agree.

I managed to complete the card set and get the summer badge thing.  /underwhelmed.

Hopefully they'll limit it to small things like a new skin or something else that at the end of the day would have otherwise been put up as quick cash grab DLC that's easy for most people to ignore. Anything bigger will indeed end poorly and possibly ruin a really good idea.

Speaking as this is also the trading card thread, would someone like to trade a Bioshock Infinite card with me? I'd be really glad...
