The Jan 2013 MONDAY FINISH thread

[Kushan]

Spent most of Saturday playing Skyrim, trying to beat the first Alduin fight. Even after turning Deadly Dragons from insane to hard difficulty, I just can't seem to kill him. I had him close a few times, but right as he was about to die, i would get hit by a fireball and by killed. The only thing I got done was some quests for the college, searching for some of shalidors writings and recovery a book for the librarian. Going to do some of the dawnguard DLC vampire quests and get a few more levels before I go back to Alduin.

I also played CK2, and have managed to secure all but 2 of the de jure provinces that belong to the Kingdoms of Lotharingia and Burgundy. I got the message in 1215 about rumors of the mongols being united. Not sure what that's going to mean in the long term. The Byzantines control most of southern Russia to the edge of the map at the moment, along with all their de jure provinces, and a little more. Not to mention the Kingdom of Poland and the Russia states acting as a buffer between the HRE and the mongols spawn point. First game that I've made it this far in. If the Mongols reach Italy/western Europe, then I can always retreat behind the alps and hold the 3 passes into Italy. In the mean time, I'm going to keep chipping away at the independent HRE Dukes and unite as many as I can before I turn to taking on the HRE himself. I'd really like to take both France and the Byzantines and reform the old Roman empire before the game ends, but I don't think I have the time left to do it.

^^I've never played nor even heard of Far Cry 1 and 2 but I recently was told to get Far Cry 3 by a friend.  The game is sort of like a Grand Theft Auto/Skyrim/Fallout type of game.  The story and characters are captivating and the degree of freedom you have to go off on your own is incredible.

Yep, I'm a big fan of FC3 and haven't even played it yet.  ;D

I was just having a bit of fun with your inadvertent mis-spell, since "FAR CAR" does sound (to me) like a nifty title for a franchise.

^LOL.  Didn't even see my spelling mistake nor the intended mistake in your post.  I must be getting old!
