Prepare to... Oh, wait, this isn't so bad!

I suspect I may be too neurotic to enjoy Alien: Isolation. It's a fantastic concept, masterfully executed, gorgeously presented, and I just keep walking away from it... Possibly because I keep reloading saves/dying/whatever and it just kinda breaks the flow and asks for a little too much suspension of disbelief. So what'd I do? I finally installed Dark Souls.

I remember King's Field, I own Demon's Souls, Bloodborne's prolly gonna be my first PS4 game if I ever buy a PS4... But I hadn't sat-down with the Dark Souls series at all until just the other day... And it's pretty solid so far, and somehow holding my attention better than Isolation :( Perhaps it's because I also finally installed Deadpool, and it's way better than I'd heard! Was expecting a cheap DMC knock-off, but nope! Quality production value abound with this one; great to drop-in for 30 minutes at a time; solid relief from the frustration of the two aforementioned titles.

Also, Injustice was good, but nothing special; Killer Instinct kinda rules, but I've only tried the free parts on Windows 10 so far.
