Steam Sale Incoming

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

WazHack
99 Levels To Hell
Hero Siege
Mars: War Logs

I haven't heard of half those haha. Too many indie games this last year to keep up with. Gone home is great, I recommend playing that asap.

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.

Is that what you'v been doing these last couple days? lol. I see you on all hours of the day playing some different game lol.

I doubt I'll get anything this sale. Nothing I'm super excited about getting. 1 week later:

Papers Please (incredibly depressing...in a fun way)
CoJ: Gunslinger (fun arcade shooter, only like 3 hours long though)
Sang Froid (haven't played yet)
Metro Last Light (haven't played yet)
Banished (didn't realize there was no campaign, just play until you die...or don't. Still ended up playing for 3 hours today and had a nice town. Should be interesting when I turn the difficulty up.)
Kerbal (haven't played yet)

Bought:

State of Decay - so far the best thing I've bought this time around.

Mars: War Logs - Poor mans Mass Effect? Sure why the hell not!.

Tomb Raider + DLC collection - My coworker has been playing this and convinced me that its a great game and I need to get it.

Van Helsing II - Looks like a lot of fun, bought it to play with my Diablo 3 group of friends.

Borderlands 2: The Son of Crawlermax - it's like what they say about Pokemon...

Gifted:

Bulletstorm - been wanting a crazy FPS for a while

Payday 2

I started Banished on Hard. I don't know if it affects the difficult of the conditions or the fragility of the people, but it started me off with meager rations. I had a huge die off around winter 3 before I could get my fishery going. Normally I would have restarted, but I pushed through and it took a long time for my people to recover but it was really fun.

Haven't picked up anything this sale. Thinking of grabbing Grim Dawn for 50% off though. It has really positive reviews even with it being early access.
