Borderlands 2 (2012)

Beating the heat


From GOTY we rolled right into the Borderlands 2.5 DLC. We mostly played it for the story; our OP8 builds were pretty dominant. It was a pretty good ride, though it was a bit self-congratulatory (paging Mass Effect Citadel DLC). The dialogue was funny, as always, though I'm not sure I'll be able to handle the new Claptrap voice actor for a full game.

Top ten games


A long while back, J sent me his top ten video games of all time per an ongoing discussion about such matters. It took me some time to furnish my own, but I have at last.

Caps


Since the futon is semi-permanently relocated to the guest bedroom, I decided to renovate the closets that used to just hang out behind it. Floor, walls, shelves. Now I have decent game storage and a surfboard check.

King tide was on Thanksgiving morning. Fletcher's was pretty high even two hours later.

I made it down to Diamond City (Fenway) in Fallout. Towns really are a highlight of the western-style rpg.

Forever war


I just started with the Planetside 2 beta, on J's suggestion. Not for lack of desire, I haven't played Battlefield or CoD online so it's my first MMOFPS experience. It's pretty good, there are a lot of cool mechanics, although the gameplay isn't Bungie-slick.

Battlestations


In this one:

The computing domain has come along some since we last checked in. Side note: hdr is great for interior photography. I need more practice at mixing, but it's a useful tool for mitigating contrasty environments.

Kaf is not a big fan of the truck bed on account of the liner's ribbing. I decided to solve this and provide a tie-down mechanism so he can't bail whenever he spots a fallen sandwich.

The last bit of thirty


My favorite englishman turned 40. We did a throwback lunch sess with Connie and afterward he and I tailgated with Cheese Shoppe sandwiches. Classy Guy had Perrier, I had Bawls.

Lee and Carly tied the ol' knot. I was nominated to photograph it, and recruited Browe to shoot/assist. It went well, better than the first one but just as exhausting. Had to pull the flash-in-the-rafters trick to eliminate some nasty shadows in the gazebo during the ceremony. Lots of photos to process still.

Dabbling


Last week was mostly Borderlands 2. J and I gunned through two epic playthroughs, then Ty and Kevin and I had a go at three player. Excellent.

Long days


Wednesday the sixth was e3 for me and the mforma guys. Hands down the most anticipated attraction for me was Borderlands 2. Thanks to Chris (aka zombiepancakes), we got a spot in the vip demo with no waiting. The sequel looks to have much better production quality without messing with series' excellent rpg/shooter formula.
