You might have seen the sky darken for a moment, the sun turn red, the gathering clouds streaked with lightning as a great host of gods and the valiant dead thundered through on steeds black and grim as a northern winter.<\/p>\n

Or you might not have noticed anything at all, but on 2 January, Steam<\/a> logged a record-breaking\u00a05,012,654 concurrent users<\/del> bold champions of PC gaming<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I’m sure the recent Steam mega-sale had something to do with that, although the ridiculously huge success of Skyrim – which is also 100% officially Steam’s fastest selling title ever – probably helped. According to the Steam stats page<\/a>, the game peaked at almost 100, 000 players today.<\/p>\n

That’s not bad for a game about a guy who goes around shouting at people and resurrecting dead dragons until he’s arrested – wait, no, I’ve got that backwards.<\/p>\n

I signed into Steam recently for the first time in months, so I’m also doing my bit for PC gaming.<\/p>\n
