I started and beat Warhammer 40k Space Marines. AWESOME game, really really liked the feel of the game.

I've been playing Blur on Steam. Fun game, getting repetitious though...

Bought Fallout 3 New Vegas on Steam for $9.99 and have made it to Novac. I think I'm doing it wrong though. Depending on what armor I'm wearing has a huge impact on how people respond to me and I know I've missed quests or dialog because I've been wearing the wrong armor. I think I'm not yet feeling the game, just blindly going through and trying to survive.
I just helped Jason Brightman make it to the rockets and am going out in search of the fuel for his ship as well.

Any tips or hints? I'm going to go read the official New Vegas post, but wanted to get other input as well. It seems like a cheap copy of Skyrim, but then again, Skyrim is a newer game.

Some armour is faction-specific. i.e. wearing it marks you as a member of that faction. If you check your status, it'll tell you (plus it appears in the messages in the corner when you wear the armour)

I've been playing mostly Fallout New Vegas as well (50+ hours so far) along with Tropico 4... and then any games for those Steam Winter achievements (which I already have OR are very, very cheap!)

Only SW:TOR and a bit of L4D2, but some stalker started hounding me, so I'm staying off Steam for a few days.

How is TOR?

Also forgot, I've been playing a little dragons age 2 and like it. Not as much as the first, but its decent. Upgraded to 12 gb of ram (from 4), and its made a world of difference.

I love it. It's like a multiplayer version of KOTOR which, to me, is awesome.

Playing through Dungeon Defenders and Guild Wars Nightfall with my friends. Just finished up Skyrim and Renegade Ops. Just started on Bastion and Dirt 3. There's also about 10 games I've picked up on sale, but won't get to until next year.

I just completed Dragon Age: Origins and all DLCs last night. And I realize that I'm two years behind the times, but damn this game is truly epic!

None...was away at my dad's and somehow it doesn't appeal to me to game on a laptop.

Serious Sam 3 ... takes me back to the "good old days" of mindless shoot-em-up treasures. My system is so lacking that I play in lowest quality mode ... but I don't care.


it's fun ...

Spent the most time playing New Vegas and got to the point where I have to permanently choose a side (finishing one more quest for a faction fails quests from the rest). So I'm doing companion quests now and will go into each of the 4 DLCs before committing myself to a final path in the original game. Fun.

I have been playing this awesome game called Work.

You "beat" Warhammer. When you "beat" a book do you then put it down, or "beat" it again? What about a movie, when you "beat" a movie do you recommend a friend "beat" it too?
