    It's times like these I wonder if @Big Classy even eats food or somehow gets sustenance from gifting.

    Oh, you didn't know? Its Ramadan, I don't need food! Goodwill is sustenance enough!

    So what seems to be the way people are crafting badges? By selling or trading?

    The whole trading thing seems to be way too much work, but selling is kind of inefficient.

    @FredZ89 unless that's in the next hour you may want to wait till it goes back on sale. (Sale ends at 1PM EST)

    If you click on the game, it says there is 25 hours left actually. Daily Deals are actually like 48 hours or something I think?

    If you can chill, chill.

    I've always suspected that they would eventually go in that direction with the Steam app, allowing for cross-platform purchases they way they do for Win/OSX/Linux for games which are available on Android. Hasn't come to fruition yet, though.

    Damn didn't notice. I remember it being like this in previous years but just saw the time on the main page and assumed they'd switched it up.

    Just a reminder that I still have a golden ticket for a wonder getaway this Saturday. Did I mention that it's a land teeming with adorable bunnies who taste like filth and puppies who will devour your face?
    Greetings fellow Newellians!

    It's been a while since I've conversed oh god I've missed human interaction with yon classy lads and ladies of this fine gathering place known colloquially as the "Steam Thread." Indeed, I have been trapped away on a magical sojourn to a wondrous new place with never enough food of plentiful bounty and untapped potential, the kind of place where a man has the time to appreciate nature horrors, the trees walk and smash us to pulp as he allows his mind to roam, thinking up new and amazing inventions with which to stave off insanity he can help to better the lives of his fellow man. Alas, I myself am never going back, no, no please cannot return to this place of splendor, but I'm willing to send a fine gent or lady in my stead haHaha a sacrifice to the blood realm, take them in my stead this Saturday, on the 13th of July. This raffle is open to any of the curious fellows of the Penny Arcade group, and I wish the winner to suffer in my place well in their upcoming travels!

    My first thought? Fire truck!

    Yep, created a fire truck, got in it, drove over.... and knocked the tree right down. Cat fell out and landed in the girl's arms.

    Mission accomplished.
