| Well, that dream is dead. Apparently the sale on Arkham City started today, not friday. SOLD OUT. ;_;

| Spoke too soon, maybe they threw it up early as a teaser? arkham city is on the way, for $30 and no charge for shipping. :)
Deus Ex - spoke to Taggart and did the sidequest to talk to the old lady about Adam and his past. Currently doing the other sidequest, trying to figure out how to pick up & deactivate mines; saw a tooltip once, there's got to be a way!

| Skyrim: Exploring Riften. I have a habit (from my Oblivion days) of locating landmarks and dungeons on the world map, then not exploring them til later. That is really what I am doing now- finding caves, villages, dragons, etc.
I got Arkham City (to give as a gift) from Amazon last night for $28 after missing the lightning deal on Thanksgiving (well, I was on a waiting list). Not sure how many copies they released, but both times the deal was sold out within two minutes of being offered. I literally clicked on it the exact second it became available last night.

Could I have some salamanders, please? |
| From talking to my brother, I suspect I might enjoy Skyrim more than I have older Elder Scrolls; sounds like they added a lot of features and changed a lot of the things that were tedious to me. Plus there are these stories I keep reading on Facebook about killer horses... XD
I'll probably borrow it from him at some point, but I've got a couple of things on order: both of the older Deus Ex games, plus games of mine that I haven't played, Splatterhouse and 3D Dot Game Heroes that I borrowed from him before, and someday I really DO want to finish Fallout 3... <_<

| Good news: Deus Ex: The Invisible War has arrived.
Bad news: It's one of the 49% of XBox titles that XBox 360 can't play. Have to borrow my little brother's old XBox sometime.

| Mystery Case Files: The Malgrave Incident My husband and I are playing this together. It sort of has a hidden pictures meets Myst feel about it - spooky, intriguing graphics, puzzles (pretty easy so far, but we're just starting) and a sinister feeling to the story. We're supposed to collect increments of this pink pixie-dust type stuff; so far we've collected one level's worth. |
| Bobby Carrot Forever Skipping around through the worlds, doing the puzzles that appeal to me. I earned enough gold coins to buy the faster walking upgrade, so at least now when I have to restart over and over it doesn't take as long to reach an impasse. |
| Skyward Sword: went through 2-3 sets of batteries 'cause of this game. Played it pretty much non-stop.
Did the Gratitude Crystal Sidequest(s) & the Boss Rush over the past couple days. Finished the former completely & stopped with the latter when I got the Hylian Shield.
The last few fights were...difficult. The fodder swarm of the Bokoblins was enjoyable, though I died against the other two several times. Not sure which of them was worse...though I did learn how to use the shield against the final boss.
Currently playing through Hero Mode. This should be a lot easier since I know what the hell I'm doing, but the infrequency of chances to recover will make it harder.

Go Phillies!

| Deus Ex: Human Revolution - found Zelazny in the sewers of Hengsha, one gas mine took them all out. Took care of Darrow's little problem. Found Sevchenko's GPL tracer and did Tong's quest that was added in by the explosive mission pack.
I was bummed out to see Malik in Tong's chop shop. :(
Currently in Panchaea, just talked down Darrow from his little crazy supervillain thingy.
Also got Deus Ex: The Conspiracy in the mail today.

| Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Beat it. Have no IDEA how you're supposed to get some of these trophies. I think next, I will FINALLY beat Wild ARMs 3.
