    Pre-orda! That was one of the reasons why I wanted to reserve my copy...I'm cheap!

    Wipeout - Where Have You Been All My Life?

    I don't know what it is about shows like this. It was the same thing with MXC on Spike. I'm not big on sports (except hockey) and I don't like MMA (beating people for the sake of beating people is silly to me) so I guess I make up for it with Wipeout. At some points last night I was in tears...

    Microsoft Accused of Wasting $70K in Power to Avoid Fine

    It's just a way to gouge companies for more money. It's like getting a ticket for driving too slow, only this doesn't have any dangerous consequences. I know that the power companies are in it to make money, but if Microsoft used less power than what they thought they would I say give them a...

    SQUEEEEEEEE!!!! http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/11/gearbox-posts-final-version-of-borderlands-2-mechromancer-class/ It's old news, but news that I haven't heard until now!

    Wipeout - Where Have You Been All My Life?

    Hahaha! The racer wasn't all bad, but it wasn't my cup of tea. I'm more of a Destruction Derby kinda guy. There's quite a few repeat sections from the other channel, but there are some new ones here. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mAKZuxr4D5U"...

    Wipeout - Where Have You Been All My Life?

    No, not the crappy Psygnosis racer, the TV show! I've spent about 2 hours today watching it on YouTube and I'm still going. It's like the 80's show Fun House and Spike's MXC had a beautiful baby! I'm familiar with the show but YouTube takes the best and crams it into a painful package. This...

    Nice find. A friend of mine is running a 6850 and even he is able to run the game full out with PhysX on high on a 22" monitor. *shrug* Just as a heads up, I ran into my first problem with a quest in the game. It was during the Tiny Tina tea party chain. Hopefully I don't spoil anything but...

    Ok, I don't care who you are, but if you own an AMD-based card, there's always one thing you're jealous of. In-game physics.. Just for shits and giggles I decided to see what my 7850 is capable of and jacked the physics up to high and the results are outstanding! I don't know if it's true...

    The *Official* I'm Pumped For Borderlands 2 Thread AKA Here's My Wallet, Randy!

    My friend David and I are both at the same point and we're having a blast. Instead of a game with a bit of a story thrown in, there's a story with a game built around it. I won't ruin the fun, but holy shit! CATCH A RIDE! This is the game that will easily take me through the years. Bring on...

    SteelSeries Sensei [RAW] Gaming Mouse Review

    I've toyed with the idea of going wireless, but for all of the reasons that Jamie mentioned above, there's no way I'm pulling the trigger until battery technology makes a few jumps. Cold fusion powered peripherals...that's the wave of the future, boys!

    I don't think the method of giving out keys is perfect. That could be why the site was down for a few days, but there was someone on the Gearbox forums who reported getting 20 keys. If it's on the Internet it -must- be true! Lemme check my key total... Nope. Only 1 extra. So congrats...

    Ok folks, if you want an extra golden key head here: https://shift.gearboxsoftware.com/ Sign up and then sign in in-game. Viola. You -may- need to link your Steam account, but I didn't.

    Zero's skill is a bit hard to get the hang of. You want to wait as long as possible before attacking so you get the biggest amount of damage. Axton's turret is kick ass. I find it's more vital in single player games right now (can't go wrong with extra damage) until I get it pimped out...

    The *Official* I'm Pumped For Borderlands 2 Thread AKA Here's My Wallet, Randy!

    So I rolled a ninja and it took two tries on Captain Flynt. Maybe it was trying to get the hang of the mechanics, maybe I just plain suck or maybe the Gunzerker is under powered in the beginning. I -might- roll a Siren just to complete the set, but we'll see. So far the soldier is the easiest...

    To Celebrate Battlefield's 10th Anniversary, You Can Score BF3 for $10

    Save your pennies for Borderlands 2. You'll have more fun. :p The Bad Company 2 deal is pretty sweet though.

    In the original a friend and I had a fight with spiders that lasted about 45 minutes. Elemental badasses popping up all over the place with soldiers...it was crazy. I ran out of ammo for all weapons except combat rifles. The loot was pretty lack luster, but it was fun as all get out. I...

    The *Official* I'm Pumped For Borderlands 2 Thread AKA Here's My Wallet, Randy!

    I've never been really good at in your face stuff. The Soldier lets me plan things out a bit better whereas the Gunzerker is run in and BLAM, BLAM, BLAM! It's kind of the same reason why I prefer Battlefield over COD. The pace isn't as fast (although it can be at times) and I can setup for...

    The *Official* I'm Pumped For Borderlands 2 Thread AKA Here's My Wallet, Randy!

    Quick thoughts about levels 1-10. Difficulty - it seems to have gotten a bump this time around. Captain Flynt took me out at least 5 times compared to...well, any other boss from the original. Granted I'm playing a class that I haven't put much time into (soldier) and a new one all together...
