Super Reality Ethical Skyrim

As I expected, Deus Ex: Human Revolution got put on hold. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has been occupying the bulk of my downtime over the past few weeks. According to my save file I've been playing for a little over 100 hours, but I don't believe that (It's plausible it has been open for 100+ hours, but I haven't been actively playing it for all of those).

When our schedules have allowed, I have been playing a bit of Saints Row The Third in Co-op mode with a friend. Which is more fun that it has any right to be. Proof that sometimes, letting the player do whatever they want pays off big time. Only complaint is finding and killing Professor Genki in the world has unbalanced our levelling.

My coop buddy pointed out "Hey, that's Professor Genki - Hah! and he's got a rocket launcher! Isn't that cool!", but was waiting in the car he'd just had delivered. I ran over to kill the Prof (I was grinding the mascots challenge at the time) and commented that he was pretty damn tough. A mission later I was wondering why the hell my roughly $60,000 had become over $360,000. So after some research I found that apparently there is a 1 in 100 chance that Professor Genki will spawn, he's tough, and will usually drop between $100-300k. 

With no means of giving money to your co-op partner (I would have preferred to give him half), that meant I was able to dump a bunch of money into my unlocks that my buddy wasn't able to do. He was obviously (and justifiably) pissed off because he pointed Professor Genki out to me and I felt like a bit of a jerk for having got the kill. It's still fun, but that almost derailed it. At least our Respect level is still the same, so I don't have acess to anything that he couldn't buy given the funds.
