I guess I shouldn't be too upset.

I'm not going to buy games just to get cards just to buy more games. I can always powersale the last three days when I get back on my normal computer.

The revised achievement showcase is downright sexual. Episode 2 is missing from the list of games I can select achievements from at the moment though :(

Oh my, picking my own achievements to showcase is going to be serious business.

This is going to take some deep thought and personal reflection.

I picked achievements that I loved pursuing (1 bullet in Episode 1, no kills in Deus Ex, and a couple that I got through sheer force of will like 100% LA Noire and 101% in Psychonauts.

I was thinking of showcasing all of the Ys games Completed Nightmare achievements but apparently I have yet to do this in Origin. Oof.

Platinum God in BoI is something I should probably showcase because yeah.

Or maybe just showcase Summer Sale/Christmas Sale achievements in hopes that they'll do that again.

I don't understand Booster Packs.

Are they super rare? I've had Steam running for 2 days straight and I've gotten zero.

They're super rare, and having Steam running doesn't seem to affect them. You can get them even when you're offline, as long as you've logged in within the last seven days.
 
You are playing my favorite Bioshock game. It also has the best combat of the three. They dumbed it down so much in Infinite.

Yeah, once you unlock the drill charge and get a few weapon upgrades (which the game seems to be fairly liberal with early on), Bioshock 2 starts becoming ridiculously fun to play.

Here is how I'm doing my Summer Sale planning based off my wishlist. First I just assume really new/popular stuff isn't going to get anything, so no RE:Revelations or GRID2, then I put down hopeful target prices I would bite on, then arrange those into groups of willingness with the total cash it would take for a whole group displayed.

Code:
Hopeful and ready ($46.25):
$7.50 Sonic Racing
$7.50 Ferrari Legends
$5    Rayman Origins
$7.50 Dark Souls
$3.75 Monaco
$5    Ys Origin
$5    CS:GO
$5    Trackmania 2 Canyon

Not Sure/Too soon? ($62.50):
$20   PES 2013
$20   RE6
$15   SFxT Complete
$7.50 Ace Combat

Maybe ($17.50):
$3.75 Ys 1
$3.75 Giana Sisters
$5    Driver
$5    Retrovirus

Probably not ($15):
$10 Assassins Creed 3
$5  Dead Rising 2
That really puts it in perspective, and so I first have a decent idea on money to set aside, but also have something to measure in terms of jumping on a daily deal vs what potential future deals I could get with that money. I definitely won't be getting all in the "Not sure" category, but I may get one.

It's interesting, because if it's just one game it may seem like just being a cheapass looking for mostly 75% off, but when grouped like this you really get the idea of how that that higher cost could prevent you from getting a few games at once. Is it worth it? Depends on how bad you want to play the game right now over others, I guess.
 
I'm trying to buy NBA 2K13 from Greenman Gaming. It is telling me that I can't buy from my region. (Australia) Anyone else had this issue? Any way to get around it? Can I use a US address like I do on Amazon?

According to the achievement feature thing, I have exactly 777 achievements. Time to never earn another achievement! (unless that's talking about total, not earned)
