I didn't know Neeson was in it until years later. It's hard for me to pinpoint. I love FNV's story as well but something about FO3's just stuck with me more.
Well, Final Fantasy 13 just crashed on me. (It's not the first time!) That must mean its time to stop playing and go to bed. 
I'm at chapter 7 and I'm about 14 hours into the game.... It's getting better.
At this point in the game, once more abilities and roles have been unlocked the battle system really is quite fun.
So far I think it'll easily be worth the $10 I paid for it. Square really should patch the damn game though. It'd be nice to have native resolution support above 720p and a constant 60fps while playing.

I didn't find the characters or story in NV nearly as engrossing as some other people here apparently do. I also didn't find the setting and overall presentation as atmospheric. Basically, the exploration and atmosphere weren't as strong in NV, and I felt the much-vaunted Obsidian writing, while good, isn't nearly as amazing as people make it out to be. Not strong enough in my eyes to compensate for the areas where I found the game lacking compared to FO3 (world design, atmosphere, exploration).
Honestly, people here shit on Beth's writing and put Obsidian's on a pedestal, but to me, it's like comparing a mid-tier and upper-tier genre fiction writer. One's a little better than the other, but they're both competent at what they do, and neither one's going to win a Pulitzer.

i wonder what i'm doing tomorrow...
Waiting on New Vegas to download with that network speed.
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Just kidding, you doing a vanilla playthrough or are you going to use mods?
no need you can just ask me!You'll spend 1000 hours looking for mods
imo all you really need is:
project nevada/jesawyer mod
new vegas redesigned
mtui
nevada skies
all the rest are non-essentials but nice to have, specially all the restoration mods which i wholeheartly recommend (new vegas and freeside restoration mods, the npc projects and new vegas uncut)
i bought the ultimate edition
7 GB/2 hours to go. will continue in the morning
you REALLY like this game. can you send me links later?
Gambling. What else would you be doing in New Vegas?
Also what is up with Five Nights At Freddy's? That game looks creepy as hell, and people are loving it. I don't understand the fascination with this game.

Have you guys seen This War is Mine? Comes out this month, and looks cool.

Off-Topic, but does anyone know the brand and model of Kojima's glasses?

I'm sorry optional stuff is ruining the game for you.
I will give BoGT props for at least fixing the UI. The UI in GTA4/LaD is ugly. That and the characters of BoGT's chapter is more interesting than tLaD/GTA4's by a good mile.
But yeah, I'm still in the opinion that GTA4 as a whole package is weak.

All those mods listed are great, just go to New Vegas Nexus and look through the top rated files, I guarentee you will find dozens that you want to install.
2.2 MB/s It takes it's time, but it gets there in the end.
Usually around 450KB/s
This is from right now...been steadily at this speed for a few minutes.
I get between 1-2 MB/s can download most 50gb games in a day now
Thanks for the responses everyone.
Because I'm waiting for kids trick or treating:
The adjusted average speed of respondents is 2.43MBps.
the way i see it new vegas' writing is inconsistent but it has moments of greatness. all the dlcs are amazing and vault 21 is amazing and mr house and cass and the king and happy robot man are amazing and they're all wonderfully written. it's sometimes not great and sometimes it's pretty bad but it's for sure more good than bad. it's one of the downsides of having so much dialogue (iirc it's the game with the most recorded dialogue ever), it's hard that everything will be the same level of good
fo3 instead is consistently mediocre and more often than note goes deep into cringeworthinessland. specially characters like that survival manual lady and the little kids town. some characters are really cool like that shady looking guy that works for mr hotel man but they're in the very small minority
so yeah so far nothing new, you already know how i feel about fo3. i wouldn't say there's a small difference is what i'm getting at, but i wouldn't say new vegas is without flaws (and i never have!)
and like it's ok if you like fo3 better but don't say "i put obs on a pedestal" like my opinion was more biased than yours. i never said the writing in new vegas is perfect and should win a million awards or a pulitzer or anything. i don't even think that of fo2 and it's my favorite game ever that i've beaten like 20 times or something
that's uncool!
pm me or ask me on steam and i'll you out
ok the only mod i'd say new vegas (as well as fo3) absolutely needs is mtui. the interface is pretty terrible in both games so if there's something that can be perfectly and cleanly improved without changing anything fundamental that's it
all the others are very recommended but i've beaten new vegas with and without them and yeah, you don't need to. i'd say they do really improve the game, new vegas redesigned fixes a lot of messed up faces that are like "wtf were you thinking obs", nevada skies makes the game prettier and has a vanilla setting that makes it more like an incremental upgrade rather than a huge change, etc. etc. they're very nice things to have
In case anyone missed it, Indie Gala still has some copies of Realms of the Haunting left.

Man those Alien TF2 items went quick, an easy $13, I under cut all you jerks by $0.01 and they sold before I finished my evening poop. I also had an Octodad hat I didn't know I had which I also sold.

Why can I not sell my TF2 Alien items? I already started it a couple times, checked my backpack, and then tried to sell. Everything is listed as non tradeable.
You'll have to add me. I'm easy to find. I'll go the Nexus approach though.
In defense of obsidian, I very much enjoyed KoTOR 2 and the story they made. The studio gets rushed, but most things get fixed after release. Restored content, and bugfixes alike. I'll trust obsidian

speaking of mods any mods i should know of for divinity?

also stop calling them obsidion -_-

Way ahead of you on that fix
Made $11.40 from the Alien items. Not bad for something that cost me barely more than twice that.
Have you tried restarting Steam?

Yes a couple times. I'll try later but my girlfriend is playing the Sims currently.
They've been marketable for about a day now.
Strange. Hopefully the issue is sorted before the items drop notably further in value.
Oh my, i have to hurry.
Great, You got me hunting a pair too. Those are the glasses he used ingame. I still don't know if they are from an actual brand or just made specifically for him though.
Could it be the arbitary nontrade period for those who: don't activate steam guard, or not using credit card and such. 7 days if I'm not mistaken.
I just bought Dota2 vase and got something that looks expensive. Too bad Valve put nontrade tag for 3 months for all items from vase. It's time to stop playing in Dota market then.
This.
Just go wild and take a day or 2 primarily to experiment with mods.
I played Fallout NV with all the following mods:

Part of it is the instinctive hate towards everything Bethesda some people have. The more popular and successful their RPG get, the greater the hate.
Part of it is Obsidian has several of the people who worked on the original fallout games and they have a fan base that is loyal to them.
The other part is the the locations of New Vegas is in the same area of the country as the first two Fallouts.
For me, I'm a huge fan of the series, played every game (including the horrible console release of brotherhood of Steel) and Fallout 3 is my favorite. Being objective, New Vegas has better dialog but that's about it.
I'm so very late, but thanks to a kind gaffer who gifted it to me, I played The Room for the first time.
It was a fun little puzzler, which took me about 2 hours to complete. Might take you longer, depending on how quickly it 'clicks' with you. Wearing its touch gaming origins on its sleeve, most of the controls transferred to mouse without too many problems (I had some trouble with 'flipping' lids, but that just might be THE CLAW)
Took a while for me to get into the right mindset at the start, but once I was in the zone, I found most of the puzzles and the progression from one to the other logical. Each puzzle taken by itself also made sense to me, which is pretty refreshing.
Definitely worth playing.
(See guys? I don't hate all games! =p)

I googled everything I could and I haven't found anything about it. I'm starting to think that it was made for him.
Possibly, but that error message isn't exactly subtle so I'd assume he would have mentioned that if it were the case.
The only other thing I did was sign out and then back into Steam Community, but this was before I "ran" TF2 (I attempted to run it via Remote Desktop, so of course I didn't actually get to the main menu due to the lack of hardware acceleration) -- after that I just refreshed my inventory page and the items were marketable.

I've done my part and purchased Valkirya Chronicles on Steam.
I own it on PS3 and haven't even played it yet, I make lots of smart purchasing decisions.

Can you redeem a season pass without owning the game?
And beer!
Technically publishers can allow this, but it's decidedly rare.
