Found this on NeoGAF, thought I might as well share:

The offer is only valid today, so hurry! Also, the site is getting kinda slow, so it might take a few tries to get a code.

 

So Valve was doing all the cocaine and thought "hey, let's put trading cards on Steam!". And so they did.

 

 

Anyway, I was invited into the Trading Cards beta yesterday and found 3 guest passes in my inventory today. Naturally, this calls for a contest!

 

Make a custom trading card using any online trading card generator (http://pokemoncardapp.com/ for example) and post the result in this thread. It doesn't have to relate to anything, as long as it is clever. Impress me enough and you get an invite. If you don't, I'll let you know and you can try again. First come first served.

While the news team is working on a fancy article for the front page, here's a (temporary?) thread to discuss your findings and impressions of the video.

 

I'm really busy right now so I haven't watched it myself, but I'm sure it will be a delight!

So, FEZ, one of my favorite games from last year, is getting released on PC this week and I thought I'd celebrate this by hosting a giveaway of one copy of the game on Steam.

All you have to do to enter is to either...

a) make a picture/draw something related to the game

...or...

B) write *why* you deserve to win a copy of the game

I will select a winner April 30 (next Tuesday, that is!). Generally, I'll value drawings more, but if you have your ways with words you might just win the game.

I also have a spare copy of BIT.TRIP RUNNER (1) that will serve as a runner-up prize.

If you have any questions or want me to clarify anything, go ahead and ask. If you need inspiration, the store page has tons of screenshots.

Okay, I just couldn't resist sharing this little gem. It's an experimental Monkey Ball-style game made by Google. Doesn't sound all that exciting, does it? Well, there's a twist: the playing field is made out of a website!

 

You are supposed to sync your smartphone to your computer and use the phone's gyroscope to control the game, but if you don't have a smartphone or don't want to use it you can use the arrow keys.

 

Any website that can be searched for via Google can be played on. Here's what Wollay's blog looks like:

 

And here is CWF:

 

It's actually pretty fun. Give it a go!
