    So before my mother-in-law came into town and then I got sick I accepted a gift from @jdarksun for the trading card beta. I installed it, but I don't see an empty collection anywhere. Will they show up when I leave my PC on tonight to get some TF2 cards? Also, do I need to be in a game, or can I just sit on a menu?

    Go to your name panel (the one next to community) It's there under badges.

    The info is in your profile under the badges topic. I had to hunt for it at first too. I got my first (and only) from actually playing the game, but it might just be a menu because I"m not sure steam knows the difference (thus a lot of my acrued game time from some games is sitting on a menu). Not sure on the crafting and market stuff as I haven't done any of that yet.

    One of the comments notes card-based combat, is that correct? If so, I had no idea...

    I need to get my BL2 back on. @MTS and I played for a bit but then life got in the way. Alas, I'm level 15 if anyone cares to truck on. Could also go back to my new character at lvl 6.

    Endless space has card based combat now. It's one of the bits of it that I just have not grasped yet. At all.

    So if i want to increase my allowed card drops, what do i need to do? just buy something on the steam market or do i need to specifically buy something from the mannco shop, and if thats the case, does it matter what i buy?
    how many cards will i be able to unlock per purchase

    $9 spent in the store gets you another card drop is what I've heard.

    isn't that just for Free-to-play titles, though?

    Yeah, I don't think you can get extra drops from the other games.

    So I've been rewatching seasons one and two of Game of Thrones (catching my girlfriend up) and I've had my eye on Crusader Kings II for a while when lo and behold, $10 midweek madness sale. What do I need to know first if I wanted to get this game and fire up the GoT mod? Do I need any of the other DLC? I assume I'd be well-advised to play for a while with the vanilla game, the newbie-recommended Ireland scenario or whatever, to get a feel for things.

    I am torn by indecision here guys...it's only $10 but my rent is due and my budget for this paycheck is screwed up.

    Huh. Is any of that DLC really necessary/worthwhile? Is that Steamworks?

    The DLC includes everything except the brand new Old Gods. The songs and portraits, eh, you can do without, but Sword of Islam, Republic, Legacy of Rome, Sunset Invasion all add a not insignificant amount to the game. CK2 and corresponding DLC should be Steam, don't think the original is though.

    Legacy of Rome, Sword of Islam, and The Republic are all definitely worth the extra $5.

    So I'm on the D's of my backlog now. Regarding Darksiders:

    It is fun, I'm sure, but I am having intense stuttering and audio syncing problems. Has anyone else had such trouble with Darksiders? It isn't horrible during gameplay (not great), but the cutscenes are basically a slideshow and the audio doesn't match anything visual. Pretty frustrating.

    That happened to me in my old computer that could barely run it. I think the problem is that the cutscenes are 720p wmv videos that are playing on top of the game and my CPU struggled to keep up with it. If your PC is better than a toaster then disregard this post.

    Hmm. It is better than a toaster. I'll keep lowering the resolution until it gets better.

    I hope it gets better, I kept hearing such good things about the game!

    Lowering the resolution might not help that much since the videos will probably still be played at full resolution, but it's worth a try. Since they are WMVs (seriously, who was the genius behind that decision?) it might have something to do with codecs and/or your version of Windows Media Player.
