I bought Return to Castle Wolfenstein, because the disc version doesn't seem to work any more.

Steam version works beautifully, with the unofficial patch applied for widescreen res. I really forgot how great this game was.

I probably have 15-20 or so to farm but I've hit the market limit and I'm not about to hand my SSN over to Valve.
? SSN? What ? You sell the cards and the money goes to your steam wallet.

I played the first half relatively recently. Game holds up really well.

Once you sell 200 or something, you get to give Valve more personal info. I don't know if they have mine or not, because the Steam services stopped working temporarily right after I entered my info and refused to load the confirmation page. However, afterward I was still able to sell shit.

Clearly the solution is to sell the cards and then spend it immediately on more games.

That's probably only if you're a US citizen. If not you just check some confirmation box and carry on as before.

Outlast is $7, yea or nay? I tried looking for a video review and accidentally clicked on PewDieIncrediblyannoyingfaggot so didn't get very far.

Written reviews are all about it's the scariest game ever and promoting it as the next Penumbra or Amnesia but the videos make it seem more like Resident Evil "scary" or The Last of Us "scary". You know, walking around in a perfectly normal place and BOO! something jumps out. About as scary as Mary Poppins compared to the non-stop fear that is Penumbra.

Lul, sold 67 cards today and made 3.88 euros out of thin air. Why are people buying this?

Ask Brucitis. But seriously, people are retards these days. They think virtual internet shit actually has value in real life. Kids today can't separate fantasy from reality.

If we could sell these stupid "achievement" things too I'd be loaded.

Based on the posts about it in this thread, I'd say probably not.

If you opt for it anyway, you can save a few bucks by getting it through the Humble Store.

There are occasional moments where there is actual level design, and enemies roam around, and you have no idea where exactly they are. Those parts are pretty good.

The rest of it is really awful. It relies so much on cliche and things jumping out. The story is typical, and the writing is insufferable. The protagonist's journals are pretty much, "Sheeeit, nigga! This fuckin' shit's so fuckin' scary! These fags in this shit hole are really fucked up!!!!"

This game is worth $1 bundle at best. Almost all the "scary" moments are enemies jumping at you from a corridor.

I knew it. It's "scary" in the same way Resident Evil is. Or Half Life 2. Or Sesame Street.
