FUCK you made me delete system 32 on my wife's son's computer you fucking asshole!
For anyone who doesn't know, it's a part of Valve's ARG for what may be HL3. Just search for Valve ARG Steam on youtube, there should be some videos from yesterday.
Anyway, what are levels on steam good for?

Sometimes I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't give a fuck about badges, trading cards and whatever the hell else Steam has outside of actual video games.
This whole ARG thing seems like a waste of time.
There isn't going to be anything exciting at the end.

Thanks Gaben.
Not even sure what the fuck steam level is anyways
>A red herring is something that misleads or distracts from a relevant or important issue. It may be either a logical fallacy or a literary device that leads readers or audiences towards a false conclusion. A red herring might be intentionally used, such as in mystery fiction or as part of rhetorical strategies (e.g. in politics), or it could be inadvertently used during argumentation.
I don't like this
>>322338751
A great treasure awaits if you dont get the red herring and click the true end.
>>322337848
It's a real badge you dumblefuck.
>caring about steam badges/levels
Is /v/ just reddit now?

>doesn't want to increase booster pack drop rate by 0.00000000000000000000001%
Wow, it works. Thanks OP.
Never bothered with steam levels and badges and shit.
Does it do anything useful?
>>322339410
increases your chance for a booster pack drop
>>322339347
>>322339479
You need to be logged into steam in the browser you idiot
>>322338014
your steam password gets posted on shady russian sites
>>322339709

Learn to fucking delete your posts you newfag retard

He said "useful".
>>322339889
let's everyone know how big your dick is
>>322339479
what the fuck is a booster pack
I've never even looked at this trading card bullshit
>>322339939
give me your steam id, I'll explain it to you
has anyone read the 2016 user license agreement? what if they smuggled some crazy bullshit in there while everyone is too busy chomping on bait
>>322340097
Is that the "Oh shit I'm sorry" dude?
>>322340097
You already don't actually own any of 'your' games and valve can fuck you over and take all your steambucks and games at any moment for no reason. What else can they put there?
>>322340180
Damn right
>>322340180
Yes, retard. >>>/global/rules/2
>>322340303
Are you really gonna diss me for making sure that I'm right?
Shucks, dude, I thought you were a cool poppa.

Wow you're dumb
>>322338014
You get the Red Herring badge and 100xp
>>322340180
PULL ON IT
>>322338404
>Anyway, what are levels on steam good for?
there's a higher chance of getting a free booster pack so you get more cards
>>322340598
Exactly what do you think he can do with it, fucking dox you?
>tfw level 9

>>322341442
anything over 10 is full blown faggotry, better stop getting xp bro
holy SHIT steam xp?
I can't breathe you guys I need to calm down
>It's real
What?
>>322341663
I leveled up
>>322340231
it was just some European loophole. Like they no longer sell digital licenses out of their European hq now and only sell hardware. Probably has to do something with law people in EU trying to say it's illegal to not allow to resale of games.
>>322342183
>The nose knows
>>322341687
It's pointless to be level 9 though, level 10 is the least you need for it to make a point.
HOW THE FUCK DO I DO THIS ON MOBILE
>>322336169
AcidRain please
go play some more KOBS or something, you FAL
>>322341663
HL3 confirmed
>>322342264
open the steam app to ikaruga, scroll down (or up i forgot) to open the search tab and then input SEARCH, after that the code.
>>322338404
>implying it isn't just an "arg" for a 5% sale ticket or whatever
valve games are dead
>>322340515
>redditors
Remember: being scared of reddit identifies you as a fucking moron.
>>322342073
They're not trying to say, France actually sued Steam for that
>>322335749
>People say to type 'search' in capitals
>only works if you type it without caps
Great Bait.
>>322335749
I know it's supposed to work but I didn't get my badge, I didn't get anything.
Fuck you valve, raise the price of steam cash in my country and now block me from getting free things.
It works holy shit
>>322343219
>hi I'm retarded
>>322343586
why say 'type SEARCH' when you don't want it in capitals?
why not just 'type "search"'?
>>322340231
I once got my doa5 game revoked from my steam acc.
Bought it from g2a so yeah.
>>322338552
it sure does
>reddit spent all week to get to this point
>you tell people 5 greentexted lines to share the reward despite having done none of the work
>unlock 3 free steam cards a day!
>apparently unlocked 20, but only 5 are in my inventory
why
>>322343827
It used to be the other way around, but 4chan seems to be the new hype site for teens.
>>322343862
You just got Gay Ben'd.
>>322343827
Fucking cry about it.
>>322338954
>>322340841
I got the badge but didn't get XP, what gives?
>>322343708
What are the two on the right?
>>322343827
First time I heard there was an ARG going on, so fuck that.
Valve is going to have a secondary badge for 500xp given to people who solve the ARG for real.
Spoiler alert: people who took the red herring won't be able to get it.
Sorry /v/~
>>322344824
Thanks, redditfrog
>>322344824
Can you even imagine the asspain if that happened?
>>322345086
I think the only reason it wouldn't happen is because LITERALLY the only people actually solving the ARG at this point are people who got the red herring badge.
It's going to be a close cut, though, if there actually is a second, secret badge. There's only about a day left for someone to type 4chan-ready instructions for us to sneak in and grab it.
>>322343827
>Reddit BTFO
Feels good.
>>322345210
Where is the fucking ARG anyway?
>>322345609
Well my friend, all you have to do is read the daily Steam comic, pick random words from the dialogue, and type them into the search bar until you magically end up somewhere you're not supposed to be. Then you type even more random words either from the comic or from the page until you get a badge.
It's great fun. Augmented reality is much better than real reality.
>>322336169
>to soon anon
>>322345747
Oh, so just like a shitty early 80's text adventure game?
Now I regret even getting the dumb badge for free.
>IT MIGHT BE HL3
>literally 0 evidence of it having anything to do with HL
reddit is full of fucking kucks
the ARG is dead in the water anyway
internet users nowadays are too impatient and demand instant gratification, getting bored when things dont solve themselves within a couple of hours
>>322346256
It's confirmed unrelated to any game. It's just something to keep autists busy between entries in their detective noir comic.
>>322346256
Reddit has an invite-only 24/7 tiger team brute forcing and pen-testing every page on the Steam website for clues as we speak, and have been doing so for the past 10 days.
>>322346769
thats pathetic
>>322346769
>spending considerable amounts of time to find a penis shape in the background of an image, which leads you to a larger penis somewhere else, all for a webcomic's extended joke
>>322346918
But anon, imagine all the karma, gold and upboats you get.
>>322346918
>>322347040
That's why it's so funny that OP gave away the ONLY meaningful output of the entire ARG for free.
>>322335749
How do I access it on my phone?
>>322343708
>no potato sack badge
pathetic
so, what does the badge do
>>322347321
Give you 100xp for your Steam Level
>>322343827
bitches gonna bitch. no one gives a shit about who did what only the whiny bitches who say they did it.
>>322347321
unlocks your ass chakra
i'm not getting it, tf?
>>322339571
There are non-shady Russian sites?
>>322347321
Nothing more than the others exept this one is impossible to earn by playing or buying cards
>>322341663
too bad it's a red herring
>>322348228
You have to be logged in and do this on your Web browser and not on the app
>>322344759
>I got the badge but didn't get XP, what gives?
Same. My winter sale badge levelled up but I didnt get any xp.
REAL NIGGA HOURS. IF YO STEAM LEVEL UP IN DA HUNDREDS YOU BETTA SMASH DAT LYKE 100%
>>322349056
lel
This cost no-shit $10,000 to achieve
>>322343827
So pretty much what I do with every hardcore easter egg and arg?
>>322349223
REAL NYGGAH HOURS NIGGA

>1v7531
Yup, Works. Interesting enough if you leave it blank and press enter it comes up with another prompt.
>works only with Chrome
meh
>>322351918
worked fine here on firefox 43.0.3
>>322351918
>>322352042
Same on 43.0.1
>>322335749
I just want to know why this game exactly?
>>322340914
B should be just "HATE DICK" and A "GOOD ADVICE"
>>322342183
>>322335749
>1v7531
Wow, this actually works.
>>322352042
>>322352867
I asked my Russian friend on Steam to log in for me and now I got the badge too. Pretty neat.
