I look forward to finishing up ME2 next, I think.
Awesome. ME2 is so epic. But just wait for ME3. The first part of ME3 is some of my favourite gaming moments.

If you like platformers and haven't played Ori and the Blind Forest yet, go run home and do that real quick.

It is on my wishlist, just waiting on a good sale.

I've been playing Telltales The Walking Dead season 1, but it freaks me out so much that I can't play it for very long. I just finished all of the available episodes of Game of Thrones from them, and dying in GoT is so much less scary! I'm hoping that I will be better at the game play in TWD now. I really like the format, but it seems odd to include tasks that are so hard to complete just because of the controls in a story telling game. If there was an option to make it easier to target for those of us that don't like the whole "it's hard because the controls suck, not because it's actually hard" the games would be much more enjoyable for me, as it's how my decisions affect the story that I find enjoyable.

Have you tried The Wolf Among Us? I'm going to pick it up during the next Steam sale. Looks fantastic.

You missed it by days, they just had it on massive sale.

Every time! I need to check out steam on a daily basis... haven't had the opportunity to lately.

At a minimum Steam needs to be checked every Monday and GOG every Friday. You'll still miss things but you will catch the majority.

keep an eye on reddit.com/r/gamedeals and that will save you checking every site.

Realized I just spent a bit of money on the Delta Green kickstarter. So that's probably where my free time is going to be as they keep releasing new PDFs almost everyday.

Delta Green kickstarter
I would like to find one to play... but it seems I just don't have the skill / knack for them. I played World of Tanks for a bit, and even Warsow,.. but both were paced more than I could seemingly take.
We have MC on the xBox - which again I don't play. Last game I was really good at was Space Invaders on the Atarii 2600....

Delta Green isn't a video game, it is a table top RPG based on the Lovecraftian mythos, really interesting (to me) stuff.
I hear you on the pacing. You should really look at the Telltale Games'... games. The Walking Dead was phenomenal story telling, and I've heard the same is true for both The Game of Thrones and A Wolf Among Us.

From what I've heard about NTG it is all but encouraged (it may even be encouraged). You don't need a lot of horse power for these games. They have Android and iOS, I think, versions as well.

I'm surprised that we do not pre-install Steam and GOG Galaxy on every PC

You should check out a Telltale game. They have a great story and minimal action.
