Batman started out as a legend about a decade ago. An urban myth and no one knew if he was real or not. The only evidence of his existence were rumors and the broken bodies of the criminals that he left behind to spread those rumors. Of course, when you get every bone in your body broken by a guy...
2021-04-07 14:51:34 +0000 UTC View PostYou know, I had a new appreciation for celebrities after the video that I posted went viral. Having a thick skin for the job was a necessity. People criticizing you, or simply hating you for the sake of hating you -- posting comments in videos, tweets, and so on… it was easy enough to say you w...
2021-04-06 14:54:52 +0000 UTC View PostWhat was it? What was that magical number that represented your strength or battle power or whatever the Trade Organization called it? What was it? How many zeroes did you have to have until you finally, finally… just… reached a point that you didn't have to watch anyone die? When you did hav...

2021-04-05 14:55:09 +0000 UTC View PostIn a perfect world, I could just use machine soldiers entirely for this battle, but we didn't live in a perfect world. Doing so would gravely underestimate an enemy that believed that the fate of the galaxy rested on their shoulders. Using nothing but machines -- droids and drones -- it was simpl...
2021-04-05 14:54:59 +0000 UTC View PostFor half a year, I had prepared for this. This very moment. I traveled the land, gathering allies and equipment I needed to defeat a single foe. Alduin the World-Eater. A dragon, the most powerful of them all… one that would devour the entire world if left unchecked. The plan was to defeat him ...

The first few weeks passed by in a blur of activity -- the enchanters that the Emperor promised arrived and began their work. Last-minute construction was being done on Helgen as well.

This time I was able to walk through the front door instead of falling from the ceiling. Lili sat on the couch, a book in hand that she had been reading before the fireplace. Serana also looked up from her place ...

The punching bag got moved to the opposite corner, so I had a little more room to work with. In the past few days, I had been making do for the most part. I had everything that I needed ...
2021-04-01 12:43:22 +0000 UTC View PostI had underestimated the ABB. Without Oni Lee or Lung, I figured that they would just roll over and die. The Tyger Claws would move in and just take over all their old territory like it was nothing. Wasn't like the Tyger Claws hadn't been planning to do exactly that for years now. Either that or ...

2021-04-01 12:43:02 +0000 UTC View PostIt wasn't paranoia if they really were out to get you and they sure as hell were out to get me. Worse, the they could apply to a variety of parties -- the police, the Batfamily, the mob, and now the Court of Owls. Each and every single one of them were circling, keeping tabs on my every action an...

2021-03-31 15:09:57 +0000 UTC View PostThere were two types of Prestige, I found. There was true Prestige, then there were Prestige Points. The latter was merely a token currency for me to earn and spend. It was something that I had noticed when I performed the rolls that I bought against the rolls that I earned. It more or less confi...

2021-03-18 15:09:54 +0000 UTC View PostTinkering with objects was different than tinkering with code, I found. With code, I was in the driver's seat the entire time. I was aware of what I was doing, what I was creating. And I could look back at the code and make sense of it. With objects, it was different. My hands- well, hand, seemed...
