I didn't hear about the PC port! I wonder if they're going to port the second one, too…

That's why I referenced the floppies— it happened, but it wasn't particularly common. Now it's expected. Sorry that I wasn't clear about what I meant.

I'm talking about his lesser-know Italian counterpart. You probably haven't heard of him.

In my house, everything was "Intendo."

Cool.

Seriously. It was annoying enough when PC games started doing that in the Interwebs age (remember when you could send away for a floppy disc with a patch on it or, if you were lucky, pick up a patch at Babbages? If you had the time, patience, and parental approval for what would surely be a long long-distance call, it…

I am not some clumsy, Clueso-esque NPC!
Wanders into scene, stumbles over the sofa, falls into a pile of croissants and berets

Do you know how the legs and ass connect to the breasts? I sure don't! Who could animate that?!

Ohhh When I was talking about the accents the other day, I had no idea that there were NPCs who spoke French. They should have gone all one way or all the other. This was absolutely hilarious, though. It's like some drunks wandered on stage from the audience and the actors refused to be rattled.

There are some mechanics that I REALLY like in 2— the longer visual range (for sniping) and the apparent range given to thrown weapons (it was annoying when I was shooting people with a rifle in the first one from as far away as I could see them, and they were throwing axes back at me!) and the variety of zones are…

I just think that the first one is a lot more fun and funny (I think they lost the humor of the first one once they tried so hard to be funny. The humor of the first one is incidental to the story and doesn't feel like the reason characters exist. That's how it came across to me. Handsome Jack is just too chatty and…

The climax of War Games can be pretty powerful for anyone who was cognizant during any part of the Cold War. Watching how those MAD scenarios play out is very, very disturbing.

I disagree with most of this post, but I'm upvoting it for the last line. I guess I appreciate their place in history, but I feel that if you branched out the evolution of their comedy, you'd probably end up at much of the modern comedy that I really can't stand.

When you someone could those dolla bills. That's how.

My feeeelings!

Yeah. I still have the PC version I bought when it came out in 97 or 98. I think that if you don't have an XG MIDI card, the PC version sounds pretty bad, but those mods make it look great! I'm a semi-purist and only use them to run the game at 1080p, but I have to admit that a lot of those other mods do make it look…

What @avclub-0f2aab038be93ff407d92af691001e73:disqus says is true. A decent soundbar with a little external woofer can do a good job of filling a room. Using TV speakers makes me sad for sound.

I have been in a holding pattern on The Pre-Sequel— I was given the pre-order for my birthday, but I've played all of the Borderlands with the friend who gave it to me. I've been kind of waiting for her so we can finish BL2 finally and move on. I've been impatiently checking my watch for a couple months now, but she's…

I run multiple sound cards in my main system— at my desk I have a Dolby Digital Live card (I think it's the Diamond version) running out to a Yamaha RX-V630. The front pre-outs go to a set of Klipsch ProMedia 2.1s and the rear channels of the amp are driving Paradigm Micros. When I am playing or listening in the…

"…She paused briefly and farted loudly into a plastic bag and tied the top of the bag closed. Without showing any recognition of the peculiarity of this act, she rubbed the inflated bag through her hair, stood, and stuck the bag to the ceiling along with dozens of other, what I assume to be, similarly fart-filled bags…
