I agree about Borderlands, it falls short of greatness, but is extremely good for all its flaws and repetitiveness. If you play with friends it is some of the most fun you can have co-oping or split-screening.

Not sure where Xhonzi is, but to continue with more Bioshock BS: I am really enjoying Rapture so far. Haven't been able to read as much as I'd like since I got it, only about 1/4th of the way through.

I was actually just dropping in to see if you had gotten it yet.  I'm glad you're digging it.  Whenever I get around to reading it- I will let you know how I find it.

Alright, I just ordered it from gohastings.com.  I paid a little more than I would have liked, but I would like to read it now instead of 5 years from now.

That is super awesome! Thanks for sharing.

So, I got some awesome news today.

A couple months ago, myself and my other two Marble Hornets co-stars were invited to be guests at the Geek Media Expo in Nashville this coming October. Well, I decided to take a look at the guest list, and GUESS WHO ELSE IS GONNA BE THERE?



The voice of GlaDOS herself, Ellen McLain!



...you're goddamn right I'm excited.

Doooo iiiitttt! :D

You would think the controller would be R2 and the console would be 3PO, considering that 3PO is taller in the movies.

That would have made sense, but Star Wars Inc. sucks so bad these days we shouldn't be surprised.

Can you imagine how gaudy a gold xbox would be?

I think also that C-3PO (and Z3PO, CP3S and C3PX for that matter) is too human shaped to be instantly recognizable in xbox shape.  R2D2, however, is already appliance shaped... so he's more recognizable in xbox shape.

And C-3PO doesn't beep like R2-D2.

So, I felt like I finally had to watch Transformers 2...

Let me ask you something Xhonzi: You are suppose to be____________

(a) spending 2.5 hrs PLUS the time it took to write that post on stupid Micheal Bay films.

or

(b) binging on Fallout 3 like there is no tomorrow.

 

:(  Bad Xhonzi! Bad!

I promise.  FO3 starts tonight!

So many empty promises, Xhonzi. I am not even sure those words have any meaning coming from you anymore.

I was about to pack up my things and go stay at mother's. But I guess I can give you this one last chance. *tears* I am such a fool....

I don't know what's wrong with me!  Instead of spending the day playing Fall Out 3 like I said I would, I went and saw Transformers 3 in the theatre... FIVE TIMES!  And it just got worse and worse EACH TIME!

C3PX, you were right to leave me.  And, I wasn't going to tell the board this, but my wife and kids left me for the same reason- lack of comittment to Fall Out 3.  :(

You know what is really sad? I think I might actually believe you.

 I might be serious.

World of Warcraft. Mrs and I are playing again. No particular reason, but this time we don't have all the friends dozens of levels higher than us pressuring us to level faster. It's much more fun at our own pace. She started playing Saturday, I wasn't going to play, but started anyway. We tried the recruit a friend thing so we'd get 3x experience, but it doesn't work yet for some reason.

Is '3X experience' like 'spilt screening'?
