6 Things I’m Doing While Being Unable to Play Batman: Arkham Knight
Welp, it can’t be helped. I am not playing Batman: Arkham Knight today. The game hit stores and Steam only yesterday, and surely millions of you fair readers are playing right now. But not me. Not Sean Ian Mills. Not the Henchman-4-Hire. I…I have no excuse! Unless you count money as an excuse. That counts, right?
This should be me right now!
I love the Arkham games. When Arkham City was released while I was on vacation, I bought it while still on vacation and played it at my friend’s house! The List of Six I wrote on Easter Eggs in Arkham City almost single-handedly kept this blog afloat with page views through the early years! But now I’ve got nothing. I don’t own a Playstation 4, I don’t own an X-Box One, and I wasn’t able to afford all of the expensive computer upgrades in time.
I’m not playing Batman: Arkham Knight this week. So you might be asking, what the heck else could I possibly be doing? Join me after the jump to find out!
Enjoy This Batman: Arkham Knight Launch Trailer While I Cry Salty Tears
I just…I just couldn’t do it. Upgrading my PC to handle Arkham Knight would have cost way too much money. I…oh God…I won’t be playing Batman: Arkham Knight today.
Oh man. That’s beautiful. The narration, the action, the characters, the Robin, the music. It’s…it’s gonna be a great game.
OK Sean, no more crying! You’re gonna save money! You’re gonna put a little aside each week! You’re gonna look for sales! You’re gonna do this! Yeah!
Though I’m seeing a lot of negative reviews in the Steam store. Apparently the PC version is bugging as all heck!

One Last Video Game Trailer to Blow Our Fragile Little Minds!
I just saw this trailer for Just Cause 3 and had to share. This trailer has it all. It’s not just a teasing cinematic. The developers produced a 5-minute, fully narrated description of every amazing thing this game has to offer. It’s insane!
They clearly decided that Just Cause 2 wasn’t broken, so there was nothing to fix. They’ve just made everything bigger, better and more explodey!
The game comes out on Dec. 1.

Mintberry Crunch! And Other Cool Video Game Announcements!
E3 was held this weekend, the big video game foofarah where everything is announced and all our dreams come true. I heard there’s going to be a new Gears of War, a remake of Final Fantasy VII and a bunch of other cool stuff. Since I still haven’t upgraded my graphics card on my computer, I’m likely going to be very behind on all of these new games. But I decided to collect some of the trailers, because they look neat, and because it’s a Tuesday.
First up, South Park: The Fractured but Whole, a sequel to The Stick of Truth.
Then we’ve got a new trailer for Batman: Arkham Knight, which comes out next week…and which…and which I won’t be able to play yet. Oh…oh god…
Then we’ve got two trailers for the new Star Wars Battlefront.
There were tons of other video games announced this weekend, but I think these three were the tops for me! Now I just need to sell a kidney…

Fallout 4 Will Soon Be Upon Us
I can still remember the day I randomly decided to give Fallout 3 a try. My friend Alyssa had been a huge fan of the entire franchise, and was excited to grab the new game. Well I had some money to burn and an undying love of video games, so I randomly picked up a copy.
I will never look back! From Fallout 3 to New Vegas to Elder Scrolls: Skyrim to everything else Bethesda Game Studios is going to produce, I will be there.
Especially for Fallout 4, unveiled today!
That game looks gorgeous! It’s like a bigger, more detailed, more amazing Fallout 3. It’s the same post-apocalypse, a similar vault dweller, but everything else looks amazing! Airships! Massive cities! More old-timey music! Ron Perlman!
And it’s going to be set in Boston! I know some friends of mine who are going to be very happy for that!
No release date in the video, but one hopes it’s after I can upgrade my PC with a better graphics card.
