Nice, my hard copy stopped working a while back when GFWL got dismantled, so I'll take this as a late cosmic make up for that.
Fuck_Giver.exe has stopped working!
Does it matter how I write the truth?

Have you been playing gamez during your sabbatical?

I had to buy new headphones after my old ones broke and didn't have your advice to rely on. After looking around I ended up going with Sennheiser HD380 Pro. At first I thought the bass was too quiet, but realized that my shitty old Sony headphones I'd been using in the interim were smashing bass. What I was hearing was a pair of headphones that could catch the bass without being overwhelmed by it. Happy with the purchase.

I've never used that Sennheiser model but it's probably at least decent, I know it's been semi popular over the years, I've definitely seen it around. You probably did just fine with it. Sennheiser are generally a relatively safe choice providing you avoid their cheap shit (which is where they clearly make their big profit to fund R&D on their higher end models).

And yeah I did some light gaming while I was away. I upgraded graphics card so I was finally able to play Batman Arkham Knight. I liked it but I think it was merely a sidestep from Asylum and City. Clearly better in some ways and clearly worse in others. I overall enjoyed it, but I think I'll always think of the first two. The big surprise for me was that I really enjoyed the batmobile! Why do people dislike it?! I think they put a lot of effort into making it feel good to use. Flinging yourself out of it at top speed to glide to the fucking moon was honestly one of the cooler things I've done in game in recent memory... I heard some people claim Knight was worse than Origins which is total horse shit.

I also got Cities Skylines which I sunk 20 hours into a city. It's not a genre I'm into really, but this one was quite accessible for me, has good mod support and you can really build some nice looking cities. I like that it looks organic, not locked down on a square grid. Traffic management seems to be the hardest thing about it, most other stuff fairly straightforward. I recommend it. I also played Serious Sam The First Encounter HD (great game) and recently started on the second encounter. These games are cool, definitely up my alley but I'm not really planning on trying the others since the first two are widely regarded as the best the series has to offer. I also finally finished Blood and Wine. Mesa rike, and I intend to probably do a new game plus at some point with a different build (probably something alchemy based with heavy armour to really change things up).

But yeah my new graphics card will allow me to play some other stuff I've been holding out on. If I get this job I had an interview last week for I'll probably get around to buying Dank Soulz 3(60 noscope).

I just finished Arkham Knight a couple of weeks back. I said that it's basically Arkham City with the Batmobile, but I'm fine with that. The transition when you call the Batmobile while flying is so badass. I also enjoyed it, even the tank missions. I thought the part where you infiltrate Ace Chemicals was almost Zelda-like with the puzzle and combat mix. I would've liked to see the real ending but there was no chance I was doing the Riddler missions. I did just about everything else. Stellar game, and probably the best story of the trilogy.
