I made a potion in Skyrim!

I'm not sure what it does. (Something about stamina?) And I can't even remember the ingredients I used.
I was just messing about with random things at the Alchemy lab and for once was surprised to not get the Potion Failed message.
There truly is a first time for everything.

Install yet another launcher and get GTA San Andreas for free: socialclub.rockstargames.com/rockstar-games-launcher

I came very close to buying that on Steam last week for three and a half coins. Glad I didn't, I would have been really, really, REALLY annoyed now.

One more launcher is always depressing but I'll probably grab it when I get to my PC. That's another load of mods to search through.

And I purchased yet another expansion to GW2 even though it's been ages since I played and coonsidering they always offer up previous content for free when they have something new to sell, I probably should have waited until next time.

If you're a new player, you can install the base game for free and then buy path of fire, getting heart of thorns for free, for like 30 euro. If you're an old player like me, you bought the base game, bought heart of thorns and bought path of fire... Seems rather unfair to me.

Never played Guild Wars. The multiplayer aspect always puts me off games like that. I don't really like my quests being ruined by sweary teenagers from random places around the world.

I grabbed my GTA freebie but haven't installed yet (it's rumoured to be a bit glitchy on PC.) And speaking of freebies Epic are now giving away SIX Batman games!
That's 3 Arkham games and 3 Lego ones... I think.

I'm not sure I see the point of digital lego. Real lego seems more fun.
And I always played GW solo and can't say I ever had a quest ruined They have some events where people come together to take out the enemy though and I think it's quite fun. No need to talk to anyone, but if you want you can help heal others and if you go down they help heal you.

There was a hilarious thing in Warcraft recently where all the online players had to form an orderly queue to wait their turn to complete a quest.

Personally I like to play games to get away from people in that anti-social way, so it's always single-player or nothing.

oh dear, I think I would have just waited a day or two, to play...

and I remember trying to search for "anti-social games". Unfortunately that doesn't seem to be the correct term for them. Maybe next time I'll try "single-player" instead Though I still think it'd be nice to have a friend or two to play with sometimes.

That's what AI followers are for.

Now that I've grabbed ALL those Batman games I thought I'd better try to make some progress on the first one that I already own. And after much frustration, dying, online research, more dying ...etc... I finally managed to defeat Bane.
The trick to beating him was to keep your distance, allowing him to run into walls while stunned and then only moving close to fight him when one of his three (THREE!?) health bars was low.

I already had 4 of those 6 Batman games, although 1 of those is on the PS2, and 2 are on the PS3. I guess I'll be able to replay them on the PC with slightly better looking graphics. Maybe I'll finally get that last gold brick in the first Batman Lego game that was a nightmare to get and left me on 99% completion
