Thanks for this. I'm extremely lazy, and am mostly buying to relive some nostalgia, so I think I'll go with 1. It's cheaper, too.

Yeah I played it with friends at Christmas. It was a blast.

Perhaps I'm wholly out of line here, but as much as I love both games, I think playing them back to back would feel pretty samey.
Yes, binary morality is always super interesting. You must think Mass Effect's Paragon/Renegade system is ingenious.
was it on sale?

Not necessarily back to back. You can hop a train and go to the other wasteland fairly early. It does make it much, much easier though.

For me, there's no question which is better between FO3 and FO:NV. Fallout 3 feels like Bethesda wrote their usual, generic fantasy story and then threw a Fallout coat of paint on it. "We need valiant white knights." "Oh, I've got it, just alter the Brotherhood of Steel."
Fallout: New Vegas feels like Fallout. It's true to the roots of that series, clearly built by a team that actually cares about the previous games. But beyond having respect for its own series, New Vegas just makes all-around gameplay improvements and offers top tier writing. Bethesda, in my experience, has never reached what Obsidian is capable of in writing.
I get that for Bethesda fans the game isn't about the mechanics or the writing. It's about having any reason to explore a world at will. For that, I can see why the Fallout 3 overworld is more appealing. But for me, coming at it wanting a good story, improved mechanics, and an interesting setting/sense of place? New Vegas wins all the way.

Oh and I thought that cosplaying Romans as the big-bad-enemy was a terrible design choice. I couldn't take them seriously, no matter how dark they got.
Nice. Grey areas are fine but literally every questline in F:NV asked me to slaughter defenseless people. IRL I would have opted out and went my own way sometime soon after
I killed Benny

Broken Age though.
Oh sweet, I can? I've been looking for multiplayer RPG games and this might fit the bill nicely.

What's everyone think of Blackguards?
Very tempted. Looks pretty awesome.

Both choices are great, but I went with Rayman Legends in the hope that Origins will also be discounted. It's never wrong to vote for FUN
Which book did you get?I just bought a book. Fuck video games.

Brothers may have been the best game I played last year. Loved every second of it.
How about Ikaruga?
Or a personal favourite of yours, you'd like other people to enjoy.

You want to do a Fading Hearts giveaway. Look deep inside yourself, you know it to be true.
Oh, then no. I have no friends.
Did the cover look nice?

Double Fine vs Montpellier. Who will win!?
Tbh I'm glad with either I guess but I want Rayman the most.
The book of unbought games.
Shadow Warrior!
The flash sales are packed with decent deals but I don't know about their quality. Space Hulk and Nidhogg seems a popular choice among GAFfers. Blacklist seems to be getting positive feedback too but Uplay necessities can always be spooky.
Open the client, click on "+ ADD A GAME" in the bottom left corner, click on "Add a Non-Stean-Game" -> choose game

Sorry for late answer, but there are some light puzzle but most of them aren't really traditional ones in vain of "turn three gogs to light 9 lights", but instead of revolve around mindfuckery, listening to what people said and "oooh I get it" moments. Simple but great. I don't know if there's something can impede your progress though.

Blacklist!
Since I prefer to think of myself as less an ungrateful piece of shit, but just an average run-of-the-mill piece of shit. Forgot to put the name, it's BROTHERS - A TALE OF TWO SONS IN BRIGHT RED LETTERS. Haven't played it, might suck, might not.

Hmmm. I'm not sure even the steam sale can solve that.

It is pretty awesome. I never cleared the first chapter, but I was enjoying it. I made some comments on it before in this thread I think. I'd give it a thumbs up at that price if the gameplay is your cup of tea.
I was going to say:
Pick a game off my wishlist, and then send gift through steam to corrosivefrost.
You've taken out the modbot middleman and everyone wins.
But now I want you to give away Divinity OS for Rhaknar-senpai.
Hmmm. I'm pretty sure I have a heart.
Just cause something tries to tug at one's heartstrings doesn't mean it does a good job of doing it.
It's one of two games I disliked enough to give a thumbs down in a Steam review with a detailed explanation of why people should think twice about buying it.
I really want to enter but famfrit still hasn't gotten back to me on whether or not he purposely submitted fake keys into modbot.
Book learnin' ain't all its cracked to to be.
Nice! Is this Amnesia different from the first one?
Man, don't tell the name. Just roll with it, when you make a mystery raffle
thats a really nice choice
Expanding game options past binary morality while at the same time forcing the player to do something that is clearly heinous (and ostensibly call their action a choice) is not the ideal solution.
maybe if i keep spending money dollars gaben will love me
That looks very interesting, just put it on my wishlist, thanks!

Voted for Rayman, but I'm probably gonna end up not getting it. But I do have $9 just sitting there from those cards I sold...
