KOF13 is currently up for a few more hours at $10.19, a decent deal for a great fighter.

Battlefront 2 worth 3.39 on the community choice?

[Mazmaz]

How's dishonored? I remember being impressed by the trailer.

[Tyrath]

A definite for $5.

[Kalmado]

Too bad RE 4 HD probably won't drop below it's current price. I haven't played it, but can't justify $12 on it right this minute.

I guess there is some kind of irony involved including a game called "You Need A Budget" in the Steam Summer Sale.

YNAB is like a calorie counter for your spending habits. It's a really interesting app if you're trying to learn and enforce new ways to save money. If used consistently you become hyper-aware of where your money goes every month.

I feel like if I ever needed a program like that I couldn't justify paying for it.

Currently third top seller on Steam as a flash sale.

I've been contemplating CS:GO. Had it on PS3, enjoyed the 20 some hours I put into it. Seems like the PC version got a hell of a lot of TLC since launch.

Just got around to playing Kingdoms of Amular and I regret it. Too cartooney for my liking and I dislike the player movement.

When you make a badge, it gives those who have the badge a chance at a booster. Badges cap at 5, at some point, you'll do nothing but sell the cards.

Obviously, only about half the people who own a game can craft a badge. (Less, because badges can have 5 levels, so for anybody that wants L5, 4 more people will be unable to craft a badge.)

There's a wrinkle though.

Once you have earned your allotment of cards for a game, you're eligible to get booster packs, one is spawned globally each time someone crafts a badge.
Each booster pack has 3 random cards for that game. It's always three, regardless of if a game takes 5 or 15.

So you have to run through iterations for each set size to get the number of L1s*, but ultimately, the number of people that can have badges is less than the number of people who own the game.
*(It's 75% for 6 card sets, a bit higher for 5 card, but drops from there.)

What you do with the cards pmuch falls under which camp you want to be in.

Thank you theshun and Cantih, for the info. I have been reading the faq and stuff but your break down of it is more understandable to me.

if you know excel at all you don't need it. just use Mint, it's free.

I hate the badges, I craft them out of, idk, some sense of grinding? It's like the steam meta game =/ I spend more time on that then the actual games. Gotta catch em all!

You're welcome, at least now I know I wasn't writing gibberish. So

I don't fucking understand

HE FINALLY ADMITS IT!

Get shit on turbonerds. Too bad I've been selling every card so can't win a damn thing.

You can craft any badge to earn a single point and that makes you eligible. Shouldn't cost more than a buck, but yeah it's a lottery ticket.

Anything I should be concerned about for the Steam versions of GTA3 and 4? I know they're both great games in general, but ports sometimes go very badly (if they were ports).
