Basically, you can either sell them, or if you collect an entire set it will turn into a "badge" for your profile. Like an achievement, sorta.

Speaking of which, I have 2 troll cards and a Mehrunes Dagon card. Anybody have double of any Skyrim card they want to trade?

I only buy games under 5 bucks. I've made too many bad decisions with $10 and up games. Battlefield will likely be an exception. Maybe Rome II total war, but I've largely abandoned that franchise because the last 3 games were mod restrictive

I am a weak, weak man. Just picked up Dishonored because ... well ... the sale mania got to me.

Yeah, I know, it isn't even on a particular discount right now. Sigh.

That was silly. I know some one who got Chivalry yesterday at -50% and it is now 75%

I voted for that on the 75% off vote, don't know why people voted for GTA IV, how many times has that been heavily reduced previously FFS?

Amazon has decided to price match Steams Summer sale and also give an extra one time 15% off with coupon Gooncave

it's a single-use coupon, and you need a fake US address if not in US

Sleeping Dogs won the community choice, is it worth it?

**johnhughthom** · 07-13-2013, 01:45

Something of a GTA clone, with more indepth melee combat, you don't get a gun until about 6 hours in. I didn't get around to completing it, but I did really enjoy what I played. Wasn't for off finishing it, it did get rather repetitive though.

Certainly worth £5, or whatever that is in dollars.

100% worth it. Hands-down one of the best games I've played recently. Better combat system than any dedicated fighter I've played recently. Excellent driving system, the cars are a treat to drive. The motorbikes aren't temperamental and take plenty to knock you off. At 75% off it really is a steal. BUY IT. Best bargain I've seen so far.

I have 2 Daedric Warrior cards. I guess I'll trade, even though I don't really see the point of it.

Ah, missed it, maybe next time, though I didnt really like the combat system, it was too much button mashing for my taste.

Me neither but why not? Friend me on Steam, same username as on here.

Note to self: You have now purchased three games, two on sale, one not. No more. Stop. STAHP. Until you have played all three, you are not allowed to buy anything else.

**Monk** · 07-13-2013, 20:36

The previous mega sale from steam as awful. Almost no good games getting deep discounts.. this one has so far been great. Just about everything I've wanted to see get a sale has gotten one.

Ha! I wonder how long thats going to last

I just plan to wait until the Dragonborn DLC is on sale, I also want to get the new XCOM game, I heard it was good.

**johnhughthom** · 07-13-2013, 21:07

Someone please tell me I'm not the only person to look at a game, think it's a good deal, only to realise I'd already bought it in a previous sale after wondering why it won't let me select 'Purchase for myself'... Done it twice so far already..

**Chaotix** · 07-14-2013, 02:44

Tomb Raider Collection (9 Games!) is on sale for $18.

That seems like an incredible deal to me. The new Tomb Raider without the collection is $12.

EDIT: Also, I've got an extra Football Manager card (from the Steam Summer Getaway set) if anyone wants to trade for it.

Every game I've bought or has gotten gifted to me has gone into a special category i made in my library called "Backlog." I am gonna start working through them before i return to my favorites.
