"Fallout" For Free
http://www.gog.com/promo/fallout_series_giveaway_winter_promo_2013
Nothing earthshaking to report, but the first "Fallout" games are free for the next day or so on gog.com. The first two are classic PC RPGs with a post-apocalyptic setting and an early example of open-world gameplay, but are recent enough to have decent graphics.
DRM-free downloads rather than commitment to using their service in the future. Looks like they're doing it to spite Bethesda or somebody because they're losing the rights to those games.
I'm also amused that Fallout 4 got announced as taking place in Boston, involving evil-future MIT as a producer of slave robots. The campus is already a good dungeon-crawl location, what with the large multi-floor tunnel network. I predict an MIT campus hack celebrating the announcement.
