[dejet]

You have do decide if you want to hope it gets a deeper bundle repeat in the next 11 days (some have already had their bundle on the non-mega day), or shows up in a steam sale.

Also of note today, Steam Trading Cards came out of beta and are now live.
You should go to the update page and read the FAQ, and then maybe look about online for some deeper stuff because...
If you've mucked about with the TF2 economy, this is a similar beast, because you can put the cards and rewards up on the steam market, that means real money in your steam wallet (especially if you get a foil). It may even need it's own thread.

Here's a (as far as I know, tell me if anything is missing) complete list of games with cards at the moment.

Yeah, Played like an hour of Binding of Isaac and now I have 5 cards. (3 of them the same)
Artwork's kinda cool to look at, but I doubt I'll do anything with them...

[Kaisha]

I'm still waiting on that PS3/Vita 'retro' port of Isaac to come out. Can barely play the PC version since it runs like crap regardless of resolution/settings, which I don't understand since my PC had no issues with anything else Flash-based.

A portable version on Vita sounds fantastic though.

[Cantih]

I plan on playing Issac tomorrow, I'll let you know what I get. I might be able to swap one of your copies out.
As for getting a full set, think of it like you could only badge half the games you have, trading half of them to get other halves. (This being the avoid market madness route.)

[Cantih]

Today on GoG, packs

$9.00 (75%) - Ultima 1-9, Ultima Underworld 1 & 2
$14.00 (66%) - ArmA Gold, ArmA: Cold War Assault, ArmA II

Nope, no steam summer sale yet.
I went and looked at my activity history for the others, and they generally start the first or second week of July.

Anyways, a pack and some games on GoG.

$3.00 (85%) - Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures
$3.75 (85%) - Back to the Future: The Game
$4.50 (85%) - Sam & Max Save the World

$15.00 (75%) - Synidicate, Syndicate Wars, Dungeon Keeper 1 & 2. Theme Hospital, Populous 1-3, Magic Carpet 1 & 2

Those are generally the lowest prices you'll see on those Telltale games, so don't be afraid to get them.

[TacoTaru]

Doesn't someone usually mine the bundles out of the steam update that occurs beforehand too? That's usually been my indicator as to when to get excited.

[Rhinox]

Can those gog bundle be activated on steam?

[Correction]

Can those gog bundle be activated on steam?

Generally speaking GOG doesn't sell steam keys. It's up to publishers whether or not you get multiple licenses per purchase (Witcher does this, Retro City Rampage does this) but if you buy something from GOG it's DRM-free.

[Rhinox]

Damn oh well
