Best: Tiny Tina's Attack on Dragon Keep (third DLC for Borderlands 2): it really gives you something to sink your gigantic arsenal into (several big maps crammed with a large variety of enemies) plus it's super funny. Also, what I've been missing from most first person shooters is the ability to...
It's too good? It's funny, performs well, and has so much variety (from weapons to enemies to your own skills to maps/environments to unique gameplay mechanics) that other shooters just aren't the same?
...I keep typing up short essays about why and how good the game is, but in the spirit of...
Borderlands 2:
Deathtrap is wearing a Black Hole shield that just went off.
The city of Opportunity from one of the cranes
One of the guaranteed drops during the Loot Hunt was the Cobra: a decent sniper rifle which is otherwise a pretty freakin' rare drop. Here I'm selling off a bunch of...
...made me want to replay it again for sure. Also, apparently my musical tastes have changed over the last six years (that's a fun song!).
I'm actually 'saving up' this absent time from the Half Life universe. When EP3 is released, I'll play a marathon from HL1 up to EP3, and it should be a...
New Borderlands 2 DLC is out: T.K. Baha's Bloody Harvest. If you're into rockin' raid bosses, this may not be for you (and if you're playing OP levels, you may find the big fights "underwhelming"), but for $3, it was a worthy purchase to me. A couple funny easter eggs, big mobs of enemies, T.K...
Native Linux support at the engine level? Wasn't there a new (old now) video of some things Valve was doing with, I'm not sure how to describe it... dynamic vector fields? A bunch of birds or bats were flying around in a cathedral or something. They raised a pretty high bar with their previous...
What platform are you playing Alice on? It's a spectacular game, but I found the controls a little too wonky on the PC. I only vaguely remember that part.
I don't use a custom skin. Steam runs as an icon in the tray, which is right clicked to select a game, so I don't really use the user interface much (sometimes I'll open it when something is downloading, to see what's going on, for example).
Can we see a chart of user activity on the forums over time? Not news posts or that sort of thing, but forum activity by the number of users logged in on a monthly basis, for example?
On a related note, anyone up for whatever Halloween specials are coming out for TF2 this year? I'm almost...
This is probably my favorite map of all in Borderlands 2. You know that island way off to the left of this screenshot? I was screwing with some Crystalisks back where Blue is from a distance and they launched one of their crystal bombs at me. I saw this little black dot rising, and it took like...
Dang it Gearbox, quit making all this wonderful DLC for Borderlands 2 so I can get back to TF2! A revised Quick Fix sounds wonderful (and to those players who don't like it when I use the Quick Fix: suck it - I'm gonna heal you with it anyway. Maybe you should get shot less).
I might purchase this (would need to see more, but I was definitely wishing for a FPS version of this game when it came out). Another bug hunt? Yes please.
