I pay $50 a year for the tote bag and the cultural cachet that comes with owning the tote bag. You may now admire me with hushed awe.

Pour your beer into a McDonald’s cup, guy. No one will know and you won’t have to pay for a fake certificate. 

Hellloo!

I think we all know it’s Yolo. 

In my Fallout: New Vegas playthrough I just shot Benny in the face for revenge after convincing Swank to simply let me in with all of my weapons. Thanks, Swank- you’re the bee’s knees, baby. Ring-a-ding. Now the NCR’s ambassador has me courting the Boomers, which means doing a lot of odd chores like clearing out ants…

OK Reposted Grumpy Sex Wizard Interview From 2016.

Taking a break from Borderlands 3 to play something a bit more story heavy so I’ve been continuing my trip down memory lane with Fallout: New Vegas- going NCR all the way with a rough and tumble tribal turned courier that despises the Legion. My policy of shooting Legion soldiers on site kind of backfired in the level…

Thanks! I’ll keep that in mind for when the game gets increasingly sludgy. 

The middle ground/negotiator ideal path trope in Obsidian RPGs is indeed a well worn path by now, which is why I think that Fallout New Vegas is one of their best modern achievements- every faction is flawed (some more than others of course) and blowing them all off or up is a viable option. I’m holding off on getting…

As someone that would be a Sorry Cop in real life, I look forward to this getting a Mac port someday so I can apologize my way through the entire thing.

I do this all the time. I’ve got 200 hours in Pillars of Eternity, but I have yet to get past Chapter 2 (though I’ve gotten close). I like the game, I want to finish it so I can play Deadfire, but I end up swayed by a new game, take a little break and completely forget what build I was going for or I have the urge to…

That’s my gripe- what do we expect from a sequel? If it’s just a rehash of the last game, I can understand the “more of the same” criticism, but I genuinely think this installment has added new things to the game and altered the formula to be an improvement on the games that came before them.

I’m enjoying Borderlands 3 a whole heck (not part of the heck, the whole heck) of a lot. Each playable character mixes up the classes (sniper/infiltrator, brawler, soldier, crowd control) presented in the previous games and puts a new spin on the mechanics of the series. As a sequel, I think it’s pretty strong. It’s…

Next you’re going to tell me I can’t treat a gunshot wound with brown liquor!

This weekend will be Borderlands 3 time for me. Through some oversight on my part, I didn’t install the Commander Lilith DLC for BL2 in time to finish it before the new game comes out but I’m pretty sure I get the gist. For my first game, I’m thinking I’ll do Fl4k in solo and if my friends get into the co-op I’ll play…

For better or worse, “perfect little soup boy” is now part of my vocabulary.

It did take me some time to get into it and some time looking up effective character builds to make it more enjoyable. I liked it more after hitting level 3 or 4 and getting the kobold vs. mites dungeon and final part of Act I finished, but I can definitely see where it would lose someone. The story isn’t initially…

Not very much gaming this past week, since I was on family vacation being gnawed on by infants, growled at by toddlers and admired by the elderly (2 out of 3 of those things may be fabrications) so I’m eager to veg out and play some video games.

I’ve been continuing on with Pathfinder: Kingmaker: Enhanced Edition and gotten through what was the second module in the source material/pen and paper campaign. Apparently lawful alignment means that you shouldn’t have any empathy whatsoever since my companions of that alignment hated that I let one of the…

The Impossible Burger I tried at the bar/restaurant near me tasted a lot like a Whopper already (or at least how I remember a Whopper tasting), so this seems like a perfect fit. And since it will likely cost less than I payed the last time I tried it, this may get me into a Burger King for the first time in at least a…
