The Valve and Steam Platform Discussion Thread

[Caim]

nice packaging of the console though.

I was about to say. I love the uncrating stuff, but I have to wonder if there are one or two Unusual Steam Boxes instead of Tom Jonesing the whole thing.

Pretty snazzy crate.

 

[IDtenT]

Fuck people. It's a crate. If you want one then go to a fucking wine farm.

 

[Metro]

What do you have against crates?

The stuff he got from them in TF2 is likely summed up best with a Tom Jones song:

Just Cause 2: Multiplayer Mod has been released. Some servers have hundreds and hundreds of people playing. Fucking glorious. Crashes not so glorious though.

FYI, this isn't the thread for posting about new games. We talk about Valve itself here.

Are you sure this isn't the "all games on steam" megathread?

 

[Hoaxmetal]

Infinitron is like a lost puppy outside of news and beg threads.

 

[Clockwork Knight]

Well, it isn't a sale and I didn't think it was worth a new thread, despite being steam-related news.

So, this idiocy will probably start again in about an hour tomorrow: http://steamtradingcards.wikia.com/wiki/Snow_Globe

 

[BlackAdderBG]

More cards

 

[MaskedMan]

I'd prefer getting free games like a couple years back.

[Cosmic Misogynerd]

Awesome! Oh how I hated when Steam paused a long ass download because I started playing a different game at the same time.

SNOWGLOBES?!

 

[SoupNazi]

Any of the resident Steam experts have an idea if ArmA3 will be discounted in this Christmas sale? Should I wait or just buy it now?

Edit: Nevermind, noticed it is, it just didn't show up on the front page.

 

[FeelTheRads]

LOL virtual foil cards.

 

[RK47]

looking forward to selling virtual cards again.

 

[Morgoth]

Yesterday somebody bought a Deadly Premonition trading card from me for 6 Euro. There are actually really people dumb enough who care about this shit. Not that this is a complaint....

 

[Metro]

Had to have been a foil.

 

[Morgoth]

Yeah some shit like that. What's so special about foils?

 

[FeelTheRads]

If you don't understand what's special about a gradient on the metal plate you don't deserve to have them. That guy basically ripped you off.

I wonder if some people bought out all the "stock" before the Winter thingie started and cornered the "market". For a moment right there these were selling for 3x-4x of what they likely paid for on the first day and sold in the thousands.
