This is a game that I have enjoyed playing coop over the years. The thrill of hunting terrorists with a partner never seems to fail to enjoy me. I highly recommend this game to those who enjoy coop and FPS games.

Played through the first one. I miss the old tactical style Rainbow Six from back in the day, but I will admit that shooting bad guys in front of pretty neon lights is enjoyable.

The Totally Rad Show recently interviewed the Borderlands 2 lead writer and the video is above. Its a pretty interesting conversation and he drops the details on a fun quest made entirely of Top Gun references.
A few sites in the game press have been privvy to early copies of Borderlands 2 so a few very positive reviews are hitting the web. Some bring some more definition to the game, IGN recently let loose some info about the bonus "Golden Chest" you get if you pre-order the game.
Snip:
"The chest will drop some very rare (purple) loot once open – loot that is scaled to your character, Gearbox says. So the potency of the loot within is dependent on the level of your character when you open it – and while we know how hard it is to not open a chest full of loot in a game where that is one of the primary goals, you may want to hold off as long as you can on this golden chest."
Well over time they've released a lot of PC info. First we know that PC will have PhysX. That allows for more particle effects and things like clothing tearing.
Very early on they listed a number of enhanced features that should be a testament as to what should be in ALL PC releases.
FOV slider 100% mouse usable menus/mouse wheel scrolling Remappable keybindings for keyboard/mouse PC-specific UI Native multiplayer matchmaking Push to talk Logitech keyboard support LAN support (including offline mode) Control pad support Integrated V-sync option Support for higher resolutions Mouse smoothing options (can be disabled completely) Cloud save support Achievement support Friends list support No port forwarding required
Deleted Comment because I'm dumb. Just saw the post jdodson made farther down that did indeed confirm that they had officially announced the mechromancer release date. Must have simply forgotten since I did already read that post.

Yep, yep. The PC version looks awesome. Not many publishers make the PC version that much better, so good on Gearbox!

Hello guys! I've been playing some more guild wars 2 and became interested in collecting the mini pet items that are in the game. My current collection is shown above. I have 6 of the 54 mini pets that are in the game. My current ones are:
I'm curious how many of you actually collect these mini pets. If you do collect them, feel free to list yours. Also, if you see any pets that you would like to trade for, go ahead and ask. Just make sure you have a good deal in mind.

On a side note, if any of you are looking for some people to play with, I am going to create a guild here shortly. I play on the Stormbluff Isle server, so if you do also and would like to play together, you can comment with your user name.
Grrr... I'm going to have to get this game. I love cosmetic useless collectables.

It's a great game. Plus, its one of the only mmorpg games that you don't have to pay monthly. It's just a one time fee.
Also, the mini pets can be purchased in 3 packs for real money, or you can buy them with in game gold/silver from other players. It makes it very easy to find the pets you want.

I forgot to say that you can also collect materials and other things in the game. The pets are just one of the many things you can collect. There are many different categories in the collectibles bank tab. Most of the other collectibles are things like all the ores and crafting materials in the game. It really makes collecting easy and fun with the whole separate menu dedicated to it. You can also just use it to store a lot of your items and since they go in specific slots, it is really easy to find them.
Path of Exile is having another stress test weekend... If you're tired of Diablo 3 you might want to give this a try. Here's the info they sent me:

Dark and deep action RPG Path of Exile will be open to everyone this weekend, September 14-16, so that we can stress-test our servers in preparation for entering Open Beta in a few months.
If you’ve been patiently waiting to try Path of Exile’s dark and customizable gameplay, now is your chance to check out the game - for one weekend only.
The game has been in Closed Beta since last August and we have been regularly adding new content, classes and skills. The latest patch adds new skills, more keystone passives, additional quest content, substantially improved minion functionality and introduces a new look for item hovers in-game.
The Open Weekend will include the first two acts of the game, our special end-game maps, Default and Hardcore leagues, six character classes, approximately 70 active skills, 40 support gems and hundreds of item types. We’ve added a host of unique items designed by Brother Laz, author of the popular Diablo 2 mod Median XL, and our ‘Diamond Supporter’ fans.
We will make the game servers public from 5pm on Friday 14 September Pacific Daylight Time until 11:59pm on Sunday. Over 55,000 people played during our last Open Weekend in July. Any feedback you provide this weekend will help us get ready for our permanent Open Beta.
I actually can comment on this. I have been in this beta for well over a year now. I play it from time to time to see how its getting better.
(I played more often towards the start but every huge update moves your older characters to an un-updated server)
The currency system is a godsend for f2p games and almost every f2p game should try to adopt this model. There is zero gold and the currency (real money) items are easily and frequently found throughout the game theyve even been generous enough to increase the drops a few times in the updates. It operates soley on trading.
Diablo 3 did the complete opposite; some of you may have differing opinions but integrating gold farming into the core mechanics of your economy IS TERRIBLE. PoE tries to weed it out completely.
The sheer amount of updates it pumps out I think is a testament to how hard their working on it and will continue to work on it after release. It can only get better. If you do happen to run into a beta key this is one you want to keep and eye on. This is how isometric rpgs should be.
I played Age of Empires Online when it launched a year ago but it didn't stick with me. At PAX this year someone handed me an Age of Empires Online card and recently redeemed it on Steam and gave the game another go. Before I had to download the game through Games for Windows Live but it is now all managed through Steam. You need a Games for Windows Live account but if you already have an XBox account that may work as well.

You need a Games for Windows Live account but if you already have an XBox account that may work as well.
I encourage you give Age of Empires Online a shot because the game is very fun. They recently released an update that fixes some gripes people had with the game at launch. The game has since adopted a model similar to League of Legends in that you can outright buy Empire Points to get the later Civilizations OR you can do things in game to earn Empire points.
Age of Empires Online has a very unique stylized art style. It can also run on older hardware which is nice for some with older gaming rigs. As I played the game I noticed the game feels much more at home with Age of Empires 2 than any of the latter games. After reading more about it, the developers modeled Age of Empires Online after Age 2, which is a great homage to the classic play style.
It sounds odd that a MMORTS would even work at all, but they pulled it off very well. I am only level 6 and there are tons of quests still to complete and things in the game I haven't yet tried. The early level quests are things like, "build a few farms" and "go kill some bandits" but then the game opens up and soon enough you are tasked with dispatching the enemy in the typical Age of Empires fashion to gold and xp.
The game offers 1v1 and 2v2 PvP after you hit a certain level. You can also go into Skirmish modes and try your hand with all flavor of bots or play co-op with friends. Let me know what you think of the game and if enough people are interested, it might be fun to play it some night together!
Decided to take a break from Skyrim and the PC and decided to play a console game. I decided to start a new game on 2009's Wolfenstein by Raven/iD. Back with I picked up the game I was gaming about 99% on my PS3 but now I am about 80% PC. Right away I noticed the 720p graphics and some lagging game-play at times. The game is very well done, its just not as sparkly as the PC games I am playing right now. I do have it on the PC and will try it out to see how different the versions are.

Raven/iD really polished the game on the ps3 into a really fun shooter. They added some fun mechanics to the game in the way of gold you can collect for in game item upgrades. You also get Veil Powers that allow you certain fun abilities in the game. One that comes to mind is the ability to create a shield around your player to block most incoming bullets for a time. The shooting is very well done too as you have some fun WW2 guns as well as some "veil energy" enhanced lazer gun type weaponry.
I guess I am sucker for killing Nazi's and Wolfenstein doesn't disappoint in this way. Add in a paranormal element and BJ Blaskowitz and the game feels like something out of an Indian Jones film.
Well Activision was recently let go from Blizzard East weren't they? That could have something to do with it. Some type of right issues or something. I've always wanted to play Wolfenstein and I'd probably agree with you 100% jdodson. There is no substitute when it comes to fps games. Having 60fps and a mouse to aim with makes them immeasurably more enjoyable.

Yeah the PC version is much more smooth. If you wanted, you could go box copy off Amazon. Or wait for Steam to catch back up.
