Today’s game is Batman Arkham Origins. I was originally going to play this after Shadow of Mordor, but that game has some weird bug where if I Alt Tab the entire game crashes, and my headphones kept defaulting to a profile with really low spec audio whenever I open the game. The only way I could find to change it back was to alt tab and go to settings. I’m sure you can see where this is going.

Anyways, so I picked this which I had installed. The entire opening I kind of got side tracked looking at all the details. There’s a letter to Calendar man from Harley Quinn (I presume) in his cell. I had first played this game like 2013, on PS3, at a younger age. So I was more than happy to sprint past all these details at the low resolution to the next fight to beat the shit out of some thugs.

Speaking of beating up thugs, definitely my age has lended me some more skills when playing these. I’m sure having played Asylum and City full to completion helped, but I was blowing through the predator encounters in this one.

I remember being particularly stuck on the encounter on the outside of the cruise ship for a while. This time? A few Batclaws to knockout some thugs and a few stealth attacks and I’m on my merry way.

I ended up making it all this way to the a huge ass block of ice with people in it I had never noticed before. I’m wondering if there’s any lore to it. Unfortunately though my controller died before I could get a closer look. It seems these days I’m trading one error for another. Either a dead controller or no Wi-Fi. Still though, I made it pretty far.

I was hoping to get to the Deathstroke fight before the end of the night but that doesn’t seem to be happening. Hopefully I can get Shadow of Mordor sorted out tomorrow, but we’ll see. Some friends were wanting to play Halo now that I have the Wi-Fi back up so that may be what I end up doing instead. Maybe I’ll try to juggle both?
