BUYING GUIDES & TIPS

Rule #1: Don't buy games unless they're on flash sale, community choice, daily deal, or the date is 6/29
Rule #2: It's possible, but unlikely that deeper discounts will appear on games after daily deal or flash sale. Don't count on it

This should make things a lot nicer

Something up there is stretching the page though, looks like the header image

It's the header. I can cut it down and the island picture too when I get home, this computer only has paint

Edit: so far I bought far cry 3: blood dragon and hotline miami
I also bought gunpoint right before the sale started because it was about to end

Could you add BST, British Summertime to the OP. It's GMT+1, so its +8 hours to PDT.
Not sure if all brits were aware we're in summertime at the moment.

I'm in Green team. Not contributed any points yet though, not enough cards to craft anything yet, and I've not looked at the market (although I did get an extra �2 for selling my foil card from joining a team), and I don't think I'm going to spend $100 on names to earn cards.

Green team was ahead for Day 1, but Purple team has pulled ahead as of recent.
Red is still stuck behind.
I'm assuming the points tally is reset for Day 2 so no one has an established lead.

holy stuff purple is so far ahead
Maybe it's because people on purple saw that they were going to win and then decided to actually contribute points so they would get cards. I don't get why you wouldn't give 1 point a day though, you get one card guaranteed...

Also, did you guys see the community choice vote? I like how the choice of RAGE, Bulletstorm, Orion Dino Horde, and Call of Juarez Gunslinger are listed under the category of 'Underrated - FPS' because it's scarily accurate

quadilious · June 20, 2014, 12:15:52 PM

i really want to pick up rage

Blaze0 · June 20, 2014, 12:26:13 PM

That's a pretty stuffty diagram, trog. Lots of games don't go to 75% at all, for example, prison architect's common lowest sale price is 66% off.

Use this chart instead:

Tonkka� · June 20, 2014, 12:34:10 PM

My rule is that if the game i want is 5� or less on daily deal/flash sale, it's mine.
