after a wave of moodswings, mental breakdowns, furious masturbation, and hours of world of warcraft i’ve been playing things of actual value!

and by actual value I mean “requires more than a pulse per hour”

been playing borderlands–it’s a diablo clone slash fps that does both parts correctly. if hellgate london was half this good it wouldn’t have closed down!

so far, siren and hunter are the only classes worth playing. being an fps, it’s more valuable to kill whatever’s in sight before it can reach you in the first place.

bit on the easy side, though, and by a bit i mean bioshock-grade difficulty. i’ve been doing every quest the game gives me and i’ve yet to find a boss that can’t be defeated solely by sidestepping him or using the vehicle to lock on to him. supposedly there are three difficulty levels (for each 1-32, 34-48, and 48-50) but I haven’t seen any of them yet, not having progressed halfway into the main quest. maybe the game would be hard if I focused only on the main quest, though due to the damage system (50% less damage versus enemies three levels above = no) that wouldn’t seem any bit viable.
