Missed out on the Banished sale. I didn't know they came out with a Van Helsing 2. I still need to play the first. I don't care for the metagame in this sale. The team stuff seems broken. Green team is 2-3x ahead of everyone else lol.

Yeah the team thing is broken... team green is always ahead by that amount, but team red won two days in a row so its beyond broke.
Someone just posted this on Reddit:

I had no idea any of this stuff existed! I was wondering how people were stealing points.
The team stuff seems stupid. I think its rigged so each team wins at least one day.
I'm on blue team, so... It seems that people hold their cards until their team looks like its ahead. No need to cash in cards unless your team is going to win so you qualify for the drawing. Maybe that's why its a landslide once a team pulls out in front.
Oh look, now blue has a commanding lead...
So I found this
Well this is certainly interesting:

If true, this certainly explains a lot.
Certainly seems like a lot of work and butthurt for the .0000075% chance you'll actually win 3 free games.
Anyone want to trade cards? I have an extra 5 and 10, need 1, 3, 7, and 8. Zoma on Steam.
Also, if you never played Startopia, I highly recommend it for under $2. Kind of like Dungeon Keeper, but in space. I would even say it is better than the original DK.
One of the most underrated games ever. And I haven't seen a game since that comes as close to making me feel like I'm on an actual space station :)
I have an extra 5 and 6
I need 7 and 9.
Also, Startopia is a great game. :D
I need 3 and 8
I have spare 4,5
FYI,
Check your trades!
Just crafted the badge for the first time. Now I have an extra 9 and two extra 5s but no other cards outside of those.
Also, if anybody crafts the badge and gets one of the Warframe items I'll take it off your hands. I still play that so I'll definitely use it. Just got the Rhino Skin and Helmet one. They're all pretty cheap other than the pistol skins, though, so I'll likely just end up buying all the others if I don't get them otherwise.
Need summer sale 1 if any one has one for trade! Last one I need to complete the final badge!
So what have you guys purchased so far? This has been a really light year for me. Not too many things caught my eye, but it may have been because the first few years had me gobbling up games that were released 1-5 years prior. Now that I have tons of games, I'm really only looking for new stuff released since the last sale.
Banished
Next Car Game
Civ 5: Gods and Kings Expansion
Civ 5: Brave New World Expansion
and I bought Spintires... ***?
Any of you guys play Banished? I am really surprised by it. Great game, very chill.
Oh also, have any of you tried the in-home streaming? I tried streaming to my MacBook Pro over Wifi and it was unplayable. I want to build a little box to stream to my TV over Cat-6, so hopefully that's doable.
Banished looks neat, but I seem to have trouble these days getting into games that are city-builders and sims and such.
Here's the list of stuff I picked up, mostly just 2 and 3 dollar games I'll goof around with and a focus on anything that proclaims itself rogue-like.
Dustforce,
Super House of Dead Ninjas
Rayman Legends
Knytt Underground
Gone Home
Saints Row IV
SteamWorld Dig

99 Levels To Hell
Hero Siege
Mars: War Logs
Just picked up Gone Home. Hope to play a bit this weekend. TYhat said, I think I jsut about farmed nearly all of my games for steam cards!
I use it all the time and it works perfect, in fact i've been streaming dark souls 2 to my laptop all weekend. 60fps, and i've got it set up to stream quality over performance. If you check the option to have the performance graph up you can see what part is giving you the trouble. I've got a pretty beefy alienware i stream too, which i was thinking about downgrading to a ultrabook of some sort because i can just stream to it now.
