Borderlands
Lock, Load, & Face the Madness
Get ready for the mind blowing insanity! Play as one of four trigger-happy mercenaries and take out everything that stands in your way!
With its addictive action, frantic first-person shooter combat, massive arsenal of weaponry, RPG elements and four-player co-op*, Borderlands is a breakthrough experience that challenges all the conventions of modern shooters. Borderlands places you in the role of a mercenary on the lawless and desolate planet of Pandora, hell-bent on finding a legendary stockpile of powerful alien technology known as The Vault.

They made a pretty large point that this wasn't "day one DLC" but something they have been considering and will most likely ship as DLC well after launch. I like the idea of adding characters as DLC and really like the idea of this class. The Necromancer was my fav class of Diablo 2 and its cool to see the Borderlands take on it.
In other news, I was playing "Borderlands Classic" the other day and need to pass on a tip. In RPGs people often power level characters to help get certain...

I am actually considering if PS3 is now the best choice or not, the PC list of features seems pretty awesome. I find it heartening to see companies actually caring about PC gamers again. Awesome trend.
The one feature of the PS3, allowing split screen multi-player with my friends is a hard feature to pass up, but the PC only features are really great too.

"Like the rest of Borderlands 2's classes, the Assassin's skill set can be tailored to your preferred play style. Want to concentrate on close-up strikes? Long-distance sniper shots? You can with the Assassin, which according to Gearbox is the only class with a clearly defined weapons preference. If you really like sniping, it sounds like the Assassin could be a good choice."

Since we had four players the bad guys were really hard. One bullet practically killed me so I took i got a few shots off, mostly behind cover.
Very fun.
Awesome it lets you jump between them. Starting out play through 2.
Thats an awesome picture. :)
A few times NES games would start all glitchy and certain characters would be all scrambled. Taking it out and put it in sort of fixed most of that stuff though.
One time I found a strange error in Link to the Past where if you saved the game after you tempered your sword and created a new game and talked to the soldiers off to the left of the castle in the start when the game was rainy the soldiers spoke all the dialog in the game. I told my cousin and he confirmed it worked for him and I sort of always wanted to send it in to Nintendo Power but never did. Guess I should have then id be rich now or something.
Recently? It seems games hard lock or crash and interesting stuff like that isn't as common in my play throughs as id like.
