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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
