You only need one 4X game at a time so chop out either Endless Legend of Age of Wonders 3, haven't played either so I can't help there but both are supposed to be great. It's just unlikely you will get to both any time soon.
Swap in Age of Decadence <3
Edit: Oh, you can only get one. I like crpgs a lot so Pillars would be my choice but if you enjoy the genre the 4X games will last longer. Very different games, hard to say!

Just Cause 3 isn't very good, it's not worth it.

Turfster is good people, don't bully.
That looks like photoshopped Emilia Clarke, and I'm ok with that.Been playing some Witcher 3 lately, very enjoyable stuff. The quest design is something else, just loads of variety in every sort of quest. Great to see all the characters from old games come back too, eventhat old prick Thaler.
Now to wait for the inevitable film. Yes please.
He better not be salsa'd before he makes the thread.

7 is Patrick Star or Starfish, don't know 4 though. Nor 5.
This is not about Just Cause 3 but about solving the damn fucking trivia.

I took a look at Age of Decadence too and while it sounds great, I'm in the pretty graphics mood right now and that one doesn't stand up to either of these. Got a $20 gift card and only willing to throw in like $5 of my own on top. Yeah it's a hard choice but leaning towards Pillars right now.

Age of Wonders 3, by a fair margin. Great game with lots to do, and some pretty meaty expansions, too. And it's only getting better.
For the others: Pillars is solid, but nothing spectacular, and it still has an expansion due out next year; and Endless Legend was, last I checked, graced with some worst-in-class combat mechanics for a 4X (unless the expansions changed something).
There is no choice.
If the guy is using CSGO keys to top up is wallet he is doing a bit of profit. Just a bit, but profit regardless.

All the clues say the same thing. It's big/huge/massive, it's obvious, it's not subtle.
Except it's not.
I've been trying to fuck with the Steam ARG for hours now. And Dongs is still worse

I bought jedi knight 1&2 just because I'm in a star wars mood.
Heh same thing I'm trying to decide! I've only ever heard great things about Age of Wonders 3 so it seems like the one. I like the visual aesthetic of Endless Legend a lot though and would like to give it a try down the line even with the cons I've heard about it.

I installed KOTOR I&II with mods prepared for my future play through, god knows when I would work my way there.

I think 2 is the most vague since there's two different gif alternatives that would fit the letter count.
(Yes, that means for the letters in a word you can find that amount.)
Well, I can't say that, but know that you should know once that question is done.
I don't think the clue is that subtle, it's Puzzles 1O1.
Just know that I don't include things that are unnecessary.
Except that reference to Stand and Deliver, because damn that's a great movie.

Battleblock Theater is a ton of fun, I enjoyed pushing my friend to his death in the game a lot.
If you have to ask...
You literally just put a blank file in the folder and it's all uncensored. Look on the forums and it tells you how to do it.

AoW3's greatest strength is probably its tactical combat - this is Endless Legend's greatest weakness. EL also excels in other areas that AoW isn't quite so strong in (lore, faction design and diversity, city customisation, multiple methods of victory etc).
If combat, and conquest via combat, is a crucial part of the 4X experience for you, then AoW is the way to go. I tend to prefer almost all other goals in my 4X games, and lean toward science, culture or whatever else - and EL was my favourite game of 2014.
Edit: I should add that both are considered to be terrific games within the genre, but they take rather distinct approaches - ultimately, they complement each other pretty well, as it turns out.
Edit edit: much better said by LurkerPrime below.

Age of Wonders 3
Pros
- Deep combat and magic system
- Huge number of units/factions/spells/races.
- Lots of premade maps/scenarios, and two full, multi-path campaigns in the base game.
- Highly customisable worldgen tools to make skirmishes interesting.
- DLC content adds mechanics, factions, spells, campaigns, etc--extensive additions.
- War-focused gameplay; diplomacy and magic exist to support the war machine.
- DLC content is extra.
- Logistics of supporting wars can get tiresome and repetitive on larger maps. (Like building supply lines to replenish troops)
- Tactical battles occur on premade battle maps, which get repeated.
Endless Legend (Keeping in mind that, unlike AoW3, I've never used the DLC)
Pros
- Innovative new style of 4X gameplay, focusing on capturing specific regions and winning the game with a softcap on how late games get. (Featuring multiple paths to victory, kinda Civ-style)
- Beautiful presentation and style.
- Highly diverse factions, where your choice will decide your playstyle and goal.
- Designing troops is cool, even if I suck at it.
- On-map combat is really cool in concept...
- ...but the combat terrible in execution. It's very basic, simple, and tedious; you will want to autocomplete battles in no time, though you'll always be able to achieve better results on your own.
- UI looks sleek, but isn't as function as it could be.
- Awkward translations. Not incomprehensible, but confusing at times.
- Some random CTDs last I checked, which are a huge bummer.
- Faction units are largely the same, with some mechanical differences.
- (this one is more due to my preference than anything) Cold, mechanical style of gameplay, where everything is purely down to efficiency and numbers. It's like Civ, but with FIDS, and a lot less nuance.
I've never gone back to EL since its expansions landed, so if they provide a Civ5 > G&K > BNW style improvement then I've... really gotta get on that.

Shouldn't you be going down to the bottle-o to get beer for your new year's barbie in 10 hours?
How good are Alien Isolation Crew Expendable and Last Survivor? They're 99 cents each.
I thought the main game was pretty great but I thought the pacing sucked for basically the whole second half. I imagine these short extra story packs don't overstay their welcome, but how much exploration do you get to do on the Nostromo outside of dealing with the Alien?
