I lost a day at some point in the last few days. It’s now Sunday, and I woke up thinking it was Saturday. I thought yesterday was Friday, and that today would be Saturday, and I planned out my day according to that belief. When I realized it was actually Sunday, I was suddenly a day behind on everything. So I had to spend the next several hours ( Read more... )

This week has been exclusively Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel.

It’s like Borderlands 2, but in space! Which was pretty fun for a while, but now I’m sick of of space and I want to go back to Pandora, where there’s an atmosphere, the ground has vegetation, and Spiderants & Skags want to eat my legs.

The game is notably shorter, but the level cap is ( Read more... )

This week is more Borderlands 2.

I’ve been trying to get overpower levels for the past few days. But, progress has been slow and I’m just farming for deferent equipment in hopes of something working better than what I currently have.

I’m hoping by next week I’ll ether get the remaining levels and move on to Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, or I’ll end ( Read more... )

This week I’ve finally finished Borderlands 2. I replayed all of the DLCs, got to Ultimate vault hunter mode, and than got to overpower level 10. It was fun, but I don’t think I’m ever going to do that again.

It takes such a long time to get to level 80 that the last few levels feel like they take the same amount of time to get as 1 to 30.

And the ( Read more... )

I apologize for how long it’s been since I slapped commentary down here. Right now a lot of the things I think about when I read these is ‘man, I miss my dad’. Which makes for pretty bad conversation. I’ll get back in the grooze at some point, but for now I reserve my right to sulk.

I do appreciate Legolas’s player ( Read more... )

Yeah, so this strip should really come before the earlier one where Gimli is already fighting on the causeway. I can’t help it if I don’t think these up in chonological order. Actually, I didn’t think about the Dwarf-tossing bit until people started talking about it in the comments and I realized it was an Anticipated Event.

This week I’m playing Borderlands for the first time. (Technically I have played before. But I didn’t get past Firestone.) I’ve played all of the other games multiple times but for some reason I never got into the first one. But, now I have played through the game (and two and a half out of the four DLCs) while doing all of the side quests.

There ( Read more... )

Yeah. You saw this coming.

Interesting story behind that splash image at the top. I was pretty pleased with myself getting all the upgrades and repairs for the bathroom done, so I went looking for an image about “success.” The marquee ad for the 1923 Metro Pictures movie Success seemed the most easily clippable Public Domain image on the first page of Wikimedia Images search ( Read more... )
