I've been playing through a childhood favorite series, Commander Keen. Great games, particularly 4.

Including the unofficial third trilogy, The Universe is Toast? If not, then I highly recommend those three parts. They are based off the ideas for the third Trilogy, which was alluded to at the end of Keen 6.

Doing challenge missions. Remembered I can do all the combat/stealth missions as other characters in Batman.

Having fun doing challenges as Red Hood who has dual pistols as an item. I love doing combat challenges with him.
Played Arkham Knight and the DLC stuff myself earlier this year. Too bad Red Hood's DLC was so short, because man it felt good to play as him.
It really was. I had to ignore Two Face for just a little bit so I could have some fun with Hood's distinctive fighting style. He fights just like I'd expect him to.

Lol how Harley Quinn's sneak takedown is specifically labeled "loud takedown."

Cat Woman's DLC was my favorite though. Not the mission itself where Riddler keeps babbling, but on the AR challenge of the same map where one of the requirements is you having to complete it without being seen. Took me forever to find the right sequence of persons to take down across the map.
Batgirl's DLC was probably my favorite, as it was the meatiest of the bunch. That and it managed to give a tragic backstory to fucking Planet-Master, of all villains!
Well I just played it again. And yes, it's very hardy. 3 predator encounters, 3 combat encounters + 1 with a boss battle, and dungeon puzzles to navigate through.

Okay, I got a GoG.com account, and I have a Steam account too. Problem is, I searched through both sites. They don't seem to have Halo... I'd love to play Halo 2 (been dreaming of that for years, but technical problems, as you can see) as well as Halo 3 and the other Halo games, as well as KOTOR, but... eh. At least they have KOTOR 1. My question is, how will I be able to play? I have the KOTOR CD games, and they didn't work on my computer. KOTOR 2 works, up to a certain point. But never opens the game itself. What do I do?

Yep, that's my plan.

I didn't realize that Bio Menace was free on GOG until I saw you mention it upthread, so I'll probably keep up with the classic Apogee games for a while after I finish Keen.

I'll repeat my question. How does KOTOR and KOTOR 2 work from GoG.com or Steam? Or would my technical issues just reappear?

If you add the droid planet patch you might not find a decent walktrough and remain stuck there.

Any way I could skip Combat Evolved? I suspect it would have the new graphics, and I prefer the CD I have, which still works.
