I went on a shopping spree for a bunch of friends. For myself, I got Zigfrak and Marlow Briggs. My girlfriend got me Vangers.
Steam and GOG.com Summer Sales

Reverend;9738358 I got my copy for a similar price in a sale about 4 years ago. *Very* good value for money. Easily a 100+ hour game. Plenty of really good [URL="http://www.nexusmods.com/dragonage/?" said:mods[/URL] available too, with everything from texture enhancements to alterations to the look of Merrill, Isabella, Marethari & Flemeth to bring them in line with their appearance in DA2 s well as some alt appearances & armour drawn from the Sacred Ashes trailer & concept art. My personal favourite though is the one that add the DA2 Grey Warden armours & weapons.
That said, first time through I'd keep things vanilla.
Yeah, probably my favourite Steam sale purchase so far. Definitely agree about going vanilla. I often don't modify things in order to get the authentic experience.
Yeah, thanks for that, Robert! That was definitely a nice surprise
I now have a copy of Fables: The Lost Chapters.
Just picked up 'The Wolf Among Us'. I wasn't going to, but then I noticed my Steam wallet balance was *just* enough from all the duplicate trading cards I've sold, so it's essentially a freebie!
Yeah, for me mods are for injecting new life into a game after a few playthroughs. Even so, I tend to be very picky, especially when it comes to cosmetics since I like to keep things consistent with the lore and general aesthetic of the game.
Since I've played through something like five Wardens by this point (2 human nobles plus city elf, dalish and elf mage), I kinda need something to freshen it up a bit. Plus the vanilla armour designs always bothered me somewhat.

I grabbed the Skyrim legendary edition yesterday. I've had the vanilla game since launch, but was resisting buying the DLC's for the longest time since they were so damn overpriced. But 13 bucks or so for the legendary edition is essentially what the DLC's would cost together if they 75% off, so... Finished Dawnguard today and started Dragonborn this afternoon. Ahh, the Morrowind nostalgia! 
Figured I'd do Hearthfire last, so my main can build a house and then retire there.

I am so looking forward to the next community's choice vote. Really hoping everyone chooses Kerbal Space Program and Game Dev Tycoon

Get Saints Row IV. Your country needs you.
Seriously, just hearing that sound makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.*silt strider cry*Finished Dawnguard today and started Dragonborn this afternoon. Ahh, the Morrowind nostalgia!
And the music, too. Morrowind had such a relaxing soundtrack. Was thrilled when they had even the one track in the base game. Stepping on shore at Raven Rock was like "Ahh, I'm home..."
I picked up SimCity 2000 and Alpha Centauri for $3 apiece on GOG. Who knew $6 could make me so happy?
And just purchased the Telltale Sam & Max trilogy from GOG. That's it for me for these sales!
This time round, non of the old "big name" games caught my eye as truly worth getting. So I ended up buying a couple of small indie games... Game Dev Tycoon, Space Engineers and Endless Space.
I got the first two of those. Game Dev Tycoon is a light and simple but reasonably engaging little game.
Space Engineers is way over my head at this point.
I guess I'll have to actually try to learn it.
