Just a heads-up...

Steam is giving away 500 XP for free, and you only need to complete 27 or 28 of the 29 community tasks for this badge

Check your badge progress at this link:

I jumped an extra Steam Level today doing this : )

"Craft a game badge". Nope. Not going to happen.

Some of the others seem broken, but it's not like I even get why I should do it.

Only if you want more friend slots on Steam. More levels = more slots. It's about as bad as the PSN regulation, but in a different way.
(By the way, if you have a few cards, it's free, you just need to take time to find people to trade with. Not saying it's not a hassle though, just a free hassle.)

Thanks for replying. The way I see it it's not exactly free, because cards can be sold and the money can be used to buy games, which to me is a more tangible benefit than badges. Also, with the Inventory Helper extension selling cards requires practically no effort, so there's that. Maybe I'll see things differently if I run out of friend slots.

Well, some cards net like 2-3 cents each. Not really worth the effort sometimes. Not to mention that over level 8 you get card drops for voting/playing the summer/winter sales minigames, and they initially go for 10-25 cents. So at least level 8 is recommended it you want to squeeze some money out of the card buying demographic.

A higher Steam Level also increases the rate at which card booster packs drop (at every 10 levels increase), so there's that too. If you're into the cards/trading scene then it's probably worth it...but if not...and you don't care about steam levels or badges...ok then...you can safely skip this.

I am into it in the sense that I sell my cards and made nice profit over them simply by virtue of having a pretty large library. I'm not into it in the sense of crafting badges, as it feels like joining a pyramid scheme (even if it's not exactly). It's one step too deep into the rabbit hole as far as I'm concerned.

Yes simply upload any random Steam gaming vid to YT...just a short one Annu. That's what I did. You can even download one from there instead of making your own. Then immediately delete it from your Steam profile after you do so.

*click on the comments button for your Steam YT vid to see the deletion link for it

Thanks for the heads up.
I'm considering sending Gaben my birth certificate, my OIB (Croatian semi-equivalent of a social security number), a copy of my ID and asking him to just add the points to my account as new tasks appear. Seeing how much of my money he already got there's nothing much he could really do with the info to cost me more xD

Oh my, I'm so embarrassed to have forgotten that! O.o
but seriously though, just imagine how hilarious it would be if he got a summons to appear for the reading of a will in Croatia because I left him my GOG account with a message "here, you can learn a thing or two from them" xD xD xD

Go to the Steam main page. You should see a bright yellow ribbon called queue. Click on it and click on the green button that appears on the game page it leads to. It will count back every time you click on it. Reach zero and the task will be complete.
The ribbon recommends games based on your profile, by the way. Fairly useless, mostly, as it just offers games that are new and many kiddies buying them because graffiks.

Well, if the landline can receive SMS, you can technically get 28 of the 29 tasks.

Too bad Valve doesn't want to fix the issues with discovery queue first. I can't complete my queue because there's an "oops, sorry!" error with a game that is unavailable in my region stuck in my queue for months and I can't remove it. Was able to remove these kind of games by accessing Steam page via proxy or by editing the link with a "?cc=us" at the end, but it doesn't work anymore.

I wouldn't mind if it actually did something functional. Just can't seem to care too much when it gives you nothing for it.

If they actually started giving you game discounts or free games based on your steam rank, then I could care. Felt disappointed when I read up on it to find out it was even less useful than achievements in WoW.

there are some little +++ but I think everyone should have access to everything anyway idk if this badge thing will last through out the years

I sincerely doubt the high-level Steam badge collectors are in need of additional discounts if they can freely blow hundreds or thousands of dollars on what is essentially nothing.
