I'm not suggesting anything, my comments were meant to point out facts as opposed to hyperbole. Certainly, one would have to think that certain of our founding concepts have at least been a factor in the success of our Great Experiment. I try to draw conclusions from facts, not anecdotes and sound bytes. And for the record, though as a youth I did work for Tricky Dick's re-election, and voted for Reagan twice, as well as Bush Jr. after 9/11, I al

Right. It certainly couldn't be that our "agendafied Constitution", or "the absurdity that is the 2nd amendment" have contributed to the US owning the third highest standard of living on the planet, or the fact that the US gives out 2 1/2 times more foreign aid than any other nation, many of which nations would not even exist without the US. Possibly "intelligent Americans" could care less how they are viewed by "the rest of the

I did some wheeling and dealing, sold and traded extras and cards from other games. Managed to complete 5 badges so far during the sale, and made a couple of bucks. Sins and LH are tough to complete, 15 cards compared to 8 or so for other games I play.

[quote who="Jean=A=Luc" reply="22" id="3383332"] From what I see Steam cards are another empty, no value item (just like achievements) that is supposed to drive compulsive people to buy more games as gamers are notorious for their "gotta catch 'em all" mentality. The whole thing is quite idiotic which means it's going to be a huge success. Well played Steam, well played. [/quote] This + a lot.

I picked up CivV Gold several weeks back during a sale(12.50), and definitely agree with Heavenfall, get it, great deal. G&K and the DLC made the game enjoyable to me, wasn't a fan of the vanilla version. So far during the sale I've only grabbed Torchlight II, but I'll likely snag a couple more before the end. Just noticed something after the final day sale items went up; some of them are still available down below under the Top Sellers list for better dis

Definitely my favorite race, though I play with a custom version. (quick, lucky, enchanters, scouts, extra unrest) The only drawback I can think of with Henchmen is that they can't learn the full Life or Death schools, but that's no biggie with the right paths.

Right, you get a background, an emoticon and a random card. Also, the chances for rewards increase with level.

You use the cards to create a game badge, which adds 100 xp to your profile. You get them via playing the game, voting in the Community Choice deals, and randomly added to your inventory via booster packs. You can also trade for or buy and sell them on the Market.

Apparently there is a problem for those who own FE, as the discounts combine for a negative price. A lot of sales are being missed right now, hope you guys are getting this fixed.
