The Riddler has been dealt with.
I am at peace with the world and everyone in it.
Last night I slept the deep sleep of one who has accomplished a goal of seemingly the utmost importance and it was glorious.
Perhaps I shall write a review of my experiences with Arkham City as a whole later on in the week. Then see what game I should pick up from The List and attempt to beat. I'm thinking one I can beat in one day during the weekend. Suggestions?
Cheers.

Riddle Me This
Short post today, tonight, whatever. I'm keeping it short and simple because. That's right. Because.
I acquired Batman: Arkham City thanks to the generosity of a friend of mine who will remain nameless. You know who you are. And I blame you for everything.
I passed the main story of Batman: Arkham City in 17 hours between two days. It was amazing. I shall write up a much better review of my experience with Arkham City later. When it isn't 12:40am and I don't have work tomorrow at 8:30am.
It was either Saturday or Sunday that I passed it. Taking full advantage of the long weekend courtesy of Three Kings Day (Latin holidays rule, yo)on Friday and the celebration of the birthday of some Puerto Rican poet on Monday. Four Day Weekend. I stayed up until around 8am finishing Arkham City. I laughed joyously throughout the last ten minutes or so of the game. (Seriously, go get yourself a copy now. It's really better than the first one).
Since that time I have had one goal in mind. Just one driving thought. Find the Riddler and beat him to within an inch of his miserable simple riddled life.
For those of you who don't yet know: There are 440 Riddle items scattered across Arkham City (Only 400 are required in order to locate the Riddler). Riddles, Riddler Trophies,Catwoman Riddler Trophies (also, she is amazing to play as) and Riddler Action Achievements which include destroying all Tyger cameras, popping all Joker ballons, blowing up all of Harley's heads (I swear to you it makes sense once you've played the game) and a variety of other menial tasks. I am as of yet unsure on whether I need to acquire all 400 "achievements" to be able to unearth the Riddler's hiding place, but Gods be damned if that is what I have to do in order to taste sweet victory over the miserable cur so be it. I cannot remember the exact number of items which I have accomplished but I believe it is somewhere in the 300+ range.
I am losing precious hours of sleep over this. I close my eyes and I see in Batman's Detective Vision the thugs which I must proceed to beat to miserable pulps and the ones glowing a luminous green color that I must save for last in order to interrogate them with such wonderful phrases as "I just finished cleaning off the blood of the last Riddler informant from my face." If I don't find the Riddler soon I fear the worst for my already failing sanity. Let's hope I find the bugger soon.
On a completely unrelated note: I picked up Super Meat Boy. Its funny as hell.
Cheers.
