If I already have the game fine, but I'm not buying games I don't want since that would defeat the "no purchase necessary" part of the disclaimer.

Please let this not be the big holiday sales...pleaaaasse. Gamesterpheonix

It ends just before the next sale;)

I love it how one of the hats is unlocked only if you complete all the challenges :lol: I bet some TF2 addicts are buying and playing everything!

I laughed at this, the concept is so ingenious.

I wonder if they'll give a 'neutral' chance each cycle.

So lame. Spend 40 and get high scores just to enter the contest heheheh. Pass.

Chime is definitely worth getting for $1.25. New age tetris!

Good way for steam to make alot of money. I would try but i need to buy a few games and don't really feel like doing that already have so many games I've bought recently for my pc and my new ps3. And going to start working soon so won't have much time to play and I actually wouldn't want to win so many games at once 5 is fine but a hundred I'd be completly over whelmed with so many games.

It's a buck and a quarter. It's cheaper than a **** double cheeseburger from Mcdonalds, and it wont clog your arteries. I could see not buying RUSE just for the achievement though, sure, that makes sense.

Seriously, I never understand why people complain about TF2 hats. They're just hats. They're cosmetic. They have no effect on gameplay. If you're not interested in them, you don't have to do anything related to them, at all, ever. It doesn't change gameplay. How in the world does it ruin the game for you that some people wear cosmetic hats?

Personally, I play TF2, and don't care about crafting, hats, or any other games that offer TF2 hats through achievements. IT DOESN'T EFFECT ME OR THE GAMEPLAY.

Why do you care so much about people wearing hats? How does it negatively effect you? I'm genuinely curious as to why you think TF2 hats are such a horrid thing.

Recent hats and items are actually starting to give stat boosts. Paying money for a hat that is 17.50$ is outrageous, but people will buy into them if it will give them a tactical advantage. I thought TF2 was alright at first, but the inclusion of stat boosts and man co. corp turned it into a Korean FPS.

What hat do you think provides such a distinct advantage that makes the game unbalanced?

Darwins Danger Shield - 25% max Health

The Milkman - 25% max Health

Grendiers soft cap - 20% sentry resistance( can't find wiki page)

Just to name a couple, You will notice that they provide advantages, but absolutely no disadvantages. Why bother wearing any other silly hate when you can buy stat boosting hats instead?

No disadvantages? For 25% more health as a sniper, it does nothing against spy backstabs like the normal back shield does. I don't know about you, but spies are the bane of snipers. I don't know any sniper who uses that over the normal back shield.

Actual good snipers...

Anyway, I like how you ignore the other items I posted.

I bought Chime because i really liked the look of it when i saw it on Giantbomb's quicklook....and i also got poker night because i wanted to support telltale

sometimes i'll get a hankerin to play some poker...so i'm sure i'll play poker night eventually...it looks pretty funny

The health gained from Darwin's Danger shield is negilible in a fire fight, but it may be of some assistance if your main competition are a bunch of body shotters. But even at 150 HP, you can still be one-shot bodyshotted by enemy snipers. I do on my 150hp Demoman. At 100% charge, a body shot does 150 damage.

For the scout, you need to wear the whole set to get the 25% max health boost, not just the hat. In doing so, the Holy Mackeral is a waste of space as its only usage is to annoy people with "FISH KILLS". Also, a scout will be unable to use Bonk! to get past sentries and is basically screwed.

For the Soldier, you also have to wear the full set. Also, Buff Banner is used more frequently in lue of Battalion's Backup. Rarely see a soldier use the full set. The 20% sentry damage resistance isn't all that great either, as the weapon you now have to use is only three shots and is generally not enough to take out a sentry that is being watched by an Engineer. The direct hit suits that purpose, but then you lose the set bonus.

There ya go, not as bad as you think! :D

I agree. I was already interested in Chime, just never got around to buying it. I bought it this afternoon and already played for almost 3 hours. It's awesome, much better than Lumines - especially the music. Plus 60% of the profits go to charity.

wow this is bs. They make us buy all the games.

I picked up Poker Night at the Inventory because I like all the characters, and I used to think I was good at Poker. Not anymore :(.MythPro1

The point is to enjoy the atmosphere.

I don't know anything about poker and I hate slideshow tutorials, so I just click randomly. It's still a bit of fun, especially windowed at work...

Too...much...work
