I don't think that's playing it "wrong". With the addition of stuff like public projects, there's a lot more things to spend bells on than before. Also, beetles are peanuts compared to playing the stalk market. If you do it right, you earn more for less effort, and with online multiplayer it's less risk and easier…

You can enter contests and junk on other sites. I won $40 for being one of the first people to get all the achievements (aside from the ones that would take several months) in Gears of War 3. I won Arkham Asylum when it came out from a Goozex achievement competition. I think I had to get 30k in a month to win, so that…

I remember that and I thought it was really cool. It's too bad there wasn't really anything else like it after that. I blame the stupid people that complained about it. Saying stuff like GS is useless and that it's not worth the time even though you only had to get 1500 GS. Blows my mind that people would bitch about…

Could you list the times the high paying beetles start appearing? I don't think they're there all the time.

You can get cards for and craft badges for games you don't own. I don't own Civ 5, Defender's Quest, or Crusader's Kings 2 on Steam, yet I have a boat load of cards from them in my inventory by trading and my badge progress is being tracked for all of them.

I don't know about that. Cards are around 15 cents each and you get 5 card drops from a game at most. Someone pirating a game could use the $50 they saved to buy 45 cards (for games with 9 card sets) to get their badge to level 5, and also get the complete foil set and still come out ahead.

It's not a new character. It's just a costume so the only differences are his looks and his voice.

GameSave Manager works pretty well for PC saves. You can scan for, and backup all your saves at once. When you restore them, they all go in the right place.

A little while ago I got a spam e-mail with a bunch of fake links to phishing sites. It looked like a legit Club Nintendo e-mail and it even knew exactly how many coins I had. Not sure if this was related because I'm in Canada.

"Sometimes you might even get a rock that spawns multiple gemstones instead of multiple bags of money, which is great."

I think this article on SRK has pictures of them all. Just scroll down to the bottom and click each one.

Shooting stuff while driving? I want to do that.

Is this in Canada yet? I didn't see it on the .ca website.

I wonder what makes it low violence. Is it just less blood or something? There's a low violence version of CSGO where killed enemies get down on their knees and surrender instead of falling over and dying. Kinda silly when taking an AWP to the head.

I want to play this, but Animal Crossing is still taking up all my time. I bought The Last of Us on release and still haven't started that yet.

Every game I've bought in the past year has not come with a manual. At most you get a 1 page thing with stuff they're legally required to include like epilepsy warnings.

I think one platinum reward is better than two calendars. You also have to be careful saving codes/surveys. I used to try to save some for the next year after I've hit platinum, but a bunch of surveys/codes ended up expiring so I lost 200+ coins I could've used for rewards.

It's clearly a homage to the Autosculpt™ feature from past Need for Speed games where you use the thumbsticks to modify the exterior of the car and make fake everything, just like this! It's a bit of a stretch for sure, but you could say that if you really wanted to explain it away.

I'm guessing they were Genuine quality items from pre-ordering certain games from Steam? I think that's worth mentioning because a lot of the regular TF2 items aren't allowed on the market.

I think people are all too eager to call the teleport cheap and overpowered. People were already complaining not even an hour after he was released. If they'd just spend 5 minutes in practice mode learning how to block it, they'd have a much better time.
