Grabbed Fallout 3 GOTY and Unreal Tournament 2004.

Ironbite-me thinks I won't be playing either until I get a game pad.

Fallout 3 works very well with the KB+M. I played it at release and never felt the need for a gamepad. The controls are very similar to Oblivion and Skyrim. You can use one if you want, but it's really not necessary.

Also picked up the Overlord bundle. Played them on the 360 because I'm a sucker for humorous games where you play the bad guy, and the theme reminded me of Bullfrog's Dungeon Keeper series. Had an absolute blast, and for $5 it's a steal:

Yeah, Fallout 3 and New Vegas are probably best with just the keyboard and mouse. You've got more accessible hotkeys (trust me, you'll want to use them for your weapons) and a readily available auto-move button so you can travel long distances without fast travel without needing to touch the controls. I've played first person shooters on consoles way more than on the PC (and I have 3 and NV on the 360), but it's genuinely improved on the keyboard.

Does anybody need a prison architect card, card 6 of 10?  i have 3 of them and could use anything but a 2 and a 7.  I also have an extra 2 if anyone is interested.

I don't really get the point of the cards. They're just kind of sitting in my inventory.

They're basically appealing to collectors and e-peen

You know you can sell them for a few pence on the steam marketplace, then buy the cards you're missing with the proceeds?

If I were to sell these random summer sale cards, how much cash would I realistically get?

Edit: NM, found it myself. I'd make, like $0.50 if I was lucky.

The cards are used to craft badges and you could get coupons and shit from it.

It's like an extra reward for playing your games, is all.

The problem for me is I usually have shit luck.

My issue is I just don't get the precision I need with Keyboard and Mouse.  Just feels off to me.  Especially when I try turning.

Ironbite-guess I'm more of a gamepad man.

Speaking of those cards, if we have any scribblenauts playsers with an extra maxwell I'll trade off any of my cards for it. my fiancee's decided she enjoys it and no one she knows actually plays the game. Me... I think i'll collect the ones for Kerbal, that's about it. And yeah, not really into the buying the cards business, so more than happy to trade.

So I was looking through my files and found the document that listed all of the "plugins" (read: mods and DLC) I had for Fallout: New Vegas at the time of uninstallation.

This is a good example of just how much crap you can shove into the game. Keep in mind that a lot of people have even more than I do.

That's quite a list. How stable was your game with all those mods installed?

Updated purchases:

System Shock 2 (still have the disc from launch day almost 15 years ago, but bought it anyway just in case)
Amnesia: Dark Decent

Probably more stable then a retail release.

Ironbite-it is a Bethesda game after all.
