Only Took Forever
After 14hrs 57mins, 1900 kills and 1755 deaths – this is what happens when you constantly run into fully guarded Domination points – someone finally called me a little bitch. Not sure the reason; we were in the lobby, I don’t remember killing him repeatedly or getting murdered by him in previous matches. Maybe he [...]

My Time with: Uncharted 2

Bordering Insanity
Some things I don’t care for in Borderlands: Backpack Upgrades – why is this an item I have to use? Why can’t it simply give me a message saying your inventory space has been increased as opposed to me having to go into my inventory and use the upgrade? Seems like an unnecessary step. I [...]

My Time With: Borderlands
I’ve always wanted to play a Diablo-type game set in a gunpowder world. The story of Borderlands – does it really matter? I’m sure the quest descriptions are fine, but that’s not engaging me; I see it simply as information, unimportant since it’s not the facts that take me to the objective. If this game [...]
