It turns out I can't trade or sell my extra globe cards for the one I need because I haven't had Steam Guard enabled for 15 days. The whole reason I disabled it in the first place was to get Family Sharing working, as for some reason it wouldn't let me activate family sharing until I did. I'm screwed out of the badge unless I keep spending money. WEAK.

 
I'm currently debating on the Arkham Origins Season Pass since it's a good price and all. I am also in need of Snow Globes 2,5,8, and 9 if anyone can oblige on them

The background market is weird. Got a Really Big Sky background that was just a purplish blob. Sold for about 60 cents.

^_^ I don't even see them when I look at profile pages because I keep my browser & steam client window aspect ratios sane.

I suppose this was Second Life's model...

 
The Steam community doesn't seem to be working anymore :( Market doesn't seem to work either, I can't offload my left over cards, and I forgot what I had since I can't view my inventory anymore.

 
Final Haul:

Magical Diary - $3.74

They Bleed Pixels - $2.49

Bit.Trip.Runner 2 - $2.54

Skyward Collapse - $1.69

Valdis Story: Abyssal City - $3.74

Tropico DLC's - $3.96

Anno 2070 Complete Edition - $12.49

Cook, Serve, Delicious! - $2.49

Guacamelee! Gold Edition - $3.74

Gnomoria - $1.99

Reus - $2.49

The Bridge - $1.49

La-Mulana - $1.49

Total = $44.34

I feel a little dirty for buying Anno, but I've really been wanting it for awhile now. I kind of regret not picking up Long Live the Queen but hopefully it will be in a bundle or on sale for cheaper soonish. I was also really bummed Shogun II wasn't cheaper. I've really been wanting that game + the expansion + all the DLC for a long time but it just refuses to either get a price drop or a complete bundle. I was also pretty disappointed with the lack of 75% off deals this year. There was a lot of good stuff on sale but it seemed like most of it was 50% off or less.

 
Been playing Valdis Story for a couple hours. Yes, this game is awesome, I'm loving it. It was a nice surprise to me, since I didn't knew about it until this sale. It really reminds me of castlevania SotN in certain ways.

If you like the style, go grab it (and cards are valued around $0.22. 3 cards), you won't regret it

 
My final haul:

Steam:

The Bridge

Legend of Dungeon

Rest of the pinball fx2 tables besides dr strange

Wizardry Pack

Steam gifted: 

Bioshock Infinite Season pass

Dishonored GOTY

Don't Starve

Thirty Flights of Loving

Amazon:

Bit Trip Beat

Far Cry 3 Deluxe

Quantum Conundrum

Teleglitch DLC

GOG Gift:

The Witcher 2

I love it too. Bosses are hard, but after dying to them a bunch I typically can get down the pattern and can beat them

 
I bought Valdis Story too, glad to hear you guys are liking it. I remember seeing it on Kickstarter and thinking it looked promising, but kinda clunky. Also note that it is from the developers of Legend of Fae, which took a couple years to be bundled, so hopefully it's safe for now. ;)

 
Price Glitches I Missed

  1. Borderlands 2: GOTY 75%

I haven't started my Steam complaining in earnest, but I'll get warmed up.  Just got a coupon for 50% off Crusader Kings II.  I already own it.  Steam knows this of course, so on top of basically cookieing the shit out of my games list, then spamming me with a coupon using said information, they couldn't even be bothered to give me a coupon for something I don't have.

No, I really love difficult games. I regretted it because the controls are asinine. Why the developer decided to break the jumping controls in a platformer game I do not know.

In fact I wrote a review about the game and why I did NOT recommend it and every person that disagreed with me pretty much said "you hate difficult games" when I even began the review saying "I love difficult games and platformers but this game has broken controls". Platformers are my favorite genre and La-Mulana is garbage.

Speaking of traditions (posting hauls, complaining about the sale, etc) - whatever happened to utopianmachine and Spoony? Are they still around? Miss their posts....

 
This is a very interesting game to me over at daily royal: always Remember Me

It's currently up for Greenlighting on Steam, but the question is, will I get a Steam key for it after having bought it through indie, or does that completely depend on the publisher/dev asking to do so. the greenlight FAQ states they get as many keys for prior customers as they want, but is that a given through sites like Indie or no?

They will end up bundling it. Hold firm! They had a big Winter Wolves bundle over at groupees awhile ago. Planet Stronghold was bundled twice, I imagine this one will also hit a bundle at some point. 3.99 just seems a bit steep for it IMO

I think one of the things that sets it apart for me is that while a lot of indie games these days are retro style they still are modern in their own way and most of them tend to be campy and/or whimsical. Valdis story to me is[/i[ retro, it doesn't seem like a new game, it seems like some lost SNES game that I never knew about and am playing on an emulator (it's actually made with Game Maker FWIW).

Considering Winter Wolves is giving Steam keys for existing owners of Loren the Amazon Princess I would say so, that yes you will get a Steam key if it gets greenlit.

Might be one of those deals where you have to email and request it though. He's apparently concerned that storing a bunch of Steam keys server side might get them hacked. *shrug*

Anyway I think he mentioned on his Greenlight pages for his various games that he would give Steam keys. I'm looking forward to getting my Loren keys soon. :D/

That was one of the worst selling Groupees bundles ever and I don't think this daily royale is moving that quick either. I'm not so sure it will get bundled. I don't know if Groupees would touch his stuff again though to be fair they did do an all niche bundle instead of mixing the genres like they usually do and they also didn't promote it much and had another more high profile bundle going on at the same time.

 
Looks like the snow globe market officially bottomed out at around 12-13 cents and is now back on the rise (currently around 18 cents).  If you have any leftover cards you need to buy (and you can't get a CAG to trade), now might be a good time to do it as it looks like they're going to end up back in the low 20 cent range by the end of the sale.  Or maybe it's better to wait until tomorrow around noon and see if people start panicking again.  Who knows, the market be crazy.

Planet Stronghold was in another bundle other than the Groupees one....it was a over at indiebundle.org or something...but it was bundled again. He's just looking for too much for this games IMO.
