    I had a thought that maybe there would be a secret reward for people who amassed a foil Getaway badge, but it looks like a vast majority of people have already had the same idea.

    A foil Skyrim card is going for around $6.00 right now. If I'd bought it last wednesday it would've been in the $1.50 range.

    Dang.

    Ok, so Dragon's Lair. 30-ish year old game. Shouldn't it be cheaper? Are the updates that justify the price?
    They remastered the whole game. And it's not like stuff automatically get worse as time goes on. If you go to a bookstore the Chronicles of Narnia books aren't cheaper than the Harry Potter books, are they?

    No fair! I thought we were done! Over! The bombs had stopped flying.

    I come out from cover (under a particularly pretty spotted mushroom, by the way) ... and immediately get flattened by @DaringDirk ... who sent me his namesake so I could rescue... busty maidens. Cool, count me in. :D

    Even at it's cheapest midway through the sale it still would have been like 15$ to amass the cards for it.

    Everyone should vote Call Of Juarez: Gunslinger.

    Because it's awesome.

    I mean, 33% off is a lame-ass discount, but damn it, vote anyway.

    God damn it.

    Sale ends in 15 hours and I won't be able to trade cards for another 18. Will I still be able to craft the badge even if the sale has ended? :(

    I've returned sunburned and hungover from a weekend at the lake, and @SteevL surprised me with a gift copy of La Mulana. 5% of all lost artifacts recovered will be donated to you. Thank you!

    Also, did I miss some crazy glitch sale for Just Cause 1?

    The only thing that will change is that there will be no new summer getaway cards generated.

    I figure this is my last ditch effort. I still need a Prison Architect, Football Manager and Kerbel Space Program to finish my badge if anyone has extras of those.

    I do have extra Torchlight, Dead Island, and Chivalry if anyone else needs those to fill out their badge.

    Getting close to a final tally. I picked up FF7, Dark Souls Prepare to Die Edition, and The Pit during this sale.

    Somehow i'm nearing 100 games thanks to this awesome community. It's been a blast surprising folks and participating in the class.

    If anyone needs the Chivalry card to complete their summer badge, I have two extras of it. I've already completed my badge with the help of the community, so up for grabs.

    There was a steam sig here. It's gone now.

    I'll release my master gift list when the sale is over, but I want to thank everyone that sent me something. This is a bit of lean time for me, money wise, but when my coffers are full again I will remember this generosity.

    Because, you know, Steam has a history listing and all that.

    I am of the firm belief that there never will be any additional benefits to foil cards. They have their own badges, though these are similar to the normal badges in every respect bar the name. Foil cards are a rarity money sink, nothing more.

    And that wasn't a challenge @malakaius! You don't need to go out and find something i don't own, there's plenty of stuff, i already know this! Thanks for Bit.Trip.Fate though, looks sweeeeeeeeet.

    Some quick thoughts on two games:

    The Incredible Adventures of Van Helsing is pretty good! It's a decent ARPG with a combination of a variety of systems found from other games of the genre, like enchanting from Torchlight or a similar skill tree from Titan Quest. I wish it ran a bit better, I find turning down some of the graphics option can make the game look slightly worse, but not really improve the performance. However, it has a good feel and challenge to it. Plus Van Helsing and his ghost companion Katarina (?) make a good duo and have some good dialogue. I wouldn't say it's better than some of the others in the genre, but it is a great addition. I like some of it's various features, and how it pulls some of the best parts from other games of the genre.

    Orcs Must Die! 2 is... okay. I loved the original and was super excited for a sequel. However, with it the introduction of co-op I find playing solo can be very challenging as some maps are poorly balanced around one character. It has a lot of neat extras and new stuff and is quite fun on some of the earlier levels, but I think I'm going to shelve it until I can find a co-op partner.
