sounds like your having fun Val. i have a steam coupon for 75% off dying light or the enhanced edition of it if anyone would like it just say it lasts till the 06/08/19.

That's a generous offer. And Dying Light looks cool. A little too cool for my graphics.
I know Kaz likes a bit of zombie action though...

And yes, I am having far too much fun in Skyrim. I can't believe how far that giant clubbed me! The game reloaded the last save before I even had chance to come back down and hit the ground!


EDIT: Did I mention Skyrim?

Perhaps that shoddy horse portrait I did today was a premonition because on my travels I found another stray (horse, I mean, not another dog.) So I grabbed it, rode it, claimed it, named it and took it home.
So here's my latest family photo screenshot of home, dog AND horse! Oh and look, that dead orc is still dead in the background.
Maybe I should drag his body onto that fire!



Also I had a strange encounter with a fugitive trying to escape from a hunter. He gave me a rather good sword and asked me to help him out and return it when he came back.
I "agreed."
The hunter passed by and said he'd stolen "something" so I told him exactly where the thief had gone. Thief gets killed. I keep the lovely sword. Hunter knows nothing. Everyone's a winner!

Yeah, I was like that last week.
But it's not too bad now. It's only really hot in the sun and we've had a few thunderstorms to ease the humidity.

That looks a cute game. I'm now imagining you murdering Bobby Chiu!
And I'm glad someone else struggles with WASD. I'm better than I was but I seem to have the most trouble hitting the shift key with my third finger and then repeatedly hitting it when I don't want to. This happens a lot in Assassin's Creed and Windows then intervenes, telling me I've pressed one key multiple times and do I want to turn on Sticky Keys?!? Er- NO!
Now get me back to the game!

Kazky want that voucher?

I played a bit of Half Life 2: Ep1 last night (in a desperate attempt to stay away from Skyrim) and I'd forgotten how much I hated those Antlions and the way they pop up out of holes in the ground. And then you eventually have to face that big one that charges around all over the place and seems to take 50 grenades to kill!
Hurry up and die!!

And then in Skyrim (still couldn't stay away! ) I did a bit of trading. It's a bit easier with a horse because you can carry a lot more and sell in bulk. I do miss the haggling from previous games, in this one it's just a single, take it or leave it offer and it's never a good price. Perhaps I should use my leveling perks on Speechcraft.
