Seen any goodies, Kaz? 
As well as the Batman game I grabbed Need For Speed Hot Pursuit for when I'm done with Burnout. I also got all the Half Life games that I haven't played (Ep 1 and 2 and both Portal games.)
Still got a few coins left in the wallet so I'm still browsing and adding up prices on a calculator.
I was right about Dr Steinman in Bioshock. He took an AGE to die. Don't know how he survived all my shooting for so long because I'm sure my panicky aiming was really accurate.
I've also finished Tomb Raider Underworld! I was quite surprised that there wasn't a single Boss Fight in the game, it was puzzles all the way through. I think I prefer it that way given my shooting skills.
I'll now have a bit of a treasure hunting replay to try and find all the relics before uninstalling to free up space for something else.

I'm having fun with the first few levels of Portal.
"Fling yourself. Fling- Fling yourself!"
But I'd forgottent how much Valve's Source engine was plagued by incessant loading. Even with an SSD it's irritating. They should really optimize it for modern machines.
Meanwhile I'm still trying to find the most efficient combination of sale games to use my wallet coins. I was planning on getting Sleeping Dogs, which looks awesome, but further investigation shows that people with much better machines than mine suffer performance issues so that plan will be ditched. I think I'm definitely gonna grab Mass Effect though.

Any an all misspellings are henceforth blamed on the cats.
Bluestacks works as a "phone" on your PC - letting you play android games. And I didn't want them to sync because I wanted "my own" Merge Dragons and not a version where my niece has already wasted countless opportunities at minute profits 
My other games have synced but I suspect Merge Dragons haven't due to being different versions. Hopefully it'll stay that way. As for the other game, I'm not sure yet if it'll sync or not. Haven't dared open it on my phone yet. Though in that case, it doesn't really matter all that much.

probably. Casual clicker shenanigans are the worst 
EDIT: sometimes there's an awful lot of waiting involved. I've tried playing two games at once to avoid the waiting bits but apparently each app knows exactly when I pay attention and when I don't... (the timer for things like daily rewards and such keeps ticking but everything on screen seems to freeze as soon as I'm not actively staring at the screen.... somewhat annoying that... *waiting for seeds to sprout*)

Late night Morrowind.....
And nothing beats a good escort mission along a path that suddenly has 327% more monsters than usual!
Thankfully this mission didn't require the person to survive. Ranis is rather nasty like that! I really don't like her. She constantly sneered at me when I arrived in Balmora and now that I've progressed in my Morrowind life she fawns over me with such fake flattery it's even more annoying. So I'm actually glad that the person in question didn't die on my travels and he was pretty good with his magic too so I just let him kill all the creatures! And he gave me the notes Ranis wanted anyway without me having to pickpocket or kill him (I think his magic would have beaten me anyway.)
And don't be playing two games at once, Charlotte. What if one was a shooting game and the other was a building game? Any mix up would be a disaster.

Well they're pretty much identical, so the only real issue is to remember in which one you're supposed to build more coin storage or more stone storage...
