Run backwards. Run, I say! SHOOT AND RUN!!

Select ladies and gentlemen with an appreciation for Steam games.

WHY ARE WE RUNNING BACKWARDS?

C'mon, we've seen all of you do it in games at one time or another.
The Patriarch is coming atcha, that Tank gets you in his sights, the Heavy traps you in a corner. What do you do?
You run backwards! Guns ablaze.

RUNNERS

People in this group are called Runners for short. Game events are usually divided into Northern Runners, for those in the Northern Hemisphere, and Southern Runners, for those in the Southern Hemisphere.
You can attend any event you would like to, even if it is in a different hemisphere. The reason why events are usually run in two parts is to attempt to get people of roughly the same Ping playing together.

I hate Running Backwards

20 June, 2019 - -= Argy =- | 0 Comments

Of course I don't hate this group, however there is a game on Steam with this name.

I thought that was pretty funny.

You can buy the game on special now for under $5.

It is here, if you are interested. Sounds like a fun game and has Very Positive reviews.

Videos posted to Running Backwards on Steam

9 January, 2019 - -= Argy =- | 0 Comments

I had a lot of old videos of this group playing games, on my computer.

I could never bring myself to edit them, but I didn't want to get rid of them either, as they were some fun times.

What I've done is just upload them unedited to the <=RB= YouTube channel.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSVbRuiEDrPTxMM7ktYzQWw?

It is a lot of <=RB= running round on the Namalsk map in DayZ, and tonnes of footage from the group playthrough of Dead Island.

There is also one clip of a night I played Ace of Spades. I personally don't think that one is very interesting.

Hope some of you find that interesting.

Sure, but my thoughts on the cutoff amount to "it's dumb, but cards aren't valuable anyway so don't sweat it".

So yeah, what I said second then; 1 year makes sense. 8 years does not. Valve why

You get cards for nothing if you vote in the current Steam awards.

Currently ONLY if you have at least 8 years of service.

Didn't really want a discussion about the value of cards. Just whether the 8 years cut off is fair.

<=RB= AoM Lazyling 29 Dec, 2017 @ 2:06am

I don't pay any attention to trading cards, so my comments are those of a spectator to what at this point is best described as a comedy.

I am curious to know one thing: Can you get any trading cards without spending money? Because if not, I don't see a reason to restrict it to even 1 year, letalone 8. Why worry if someone wants to spend money on their alt account? They still have to spend the money, and they'd spend it on their main otherwise, so nothing changes. They're just more obviously rich.
But if so, then I agree with maybe 1 year minimum age. That gives Valve a year to get stats on what the account does, and see if it's a legitimate account or not. Then they could just permanently prevent it from getting cards. There'd be some false positives here from people who don't use Steam regularly, since that looks suspiciously like an alt, but truthfully... I don't see it as a great loss anyway. You're still getting dirt cheap games, so it's not like you're losing.

What do people think about the fact that you have to have 8 or more years of service to receive trading cards for the current Steam sale?

I JUST made the cut off, but I think it's a bit unfair for people who have been a Steam user for say five years.

I'm going on holidays for a month.

I'll set up an Event when I get back in October.
