Borderlands 2 has sucked up most of my life even tho I got my badass rank reset.

The Pirate's Booty DLC is proving to be pretty good. I love the Pirate Captain. She's awesomesauce.

I finally got all (and I mean all) the Vault Hunters to Sanctuary. (I know I am way behind, but I have been busy.) Also unlocked the achievement for Phaselocking 100 enemies, so I may leave Maya behind for a while. I'm also not crazy about the way Salvador plays (which is weird, since I loved Brick in the first game), so from here on out, I may be focusing on Zer0, Axon, and my favorite, Gaige. ("I can't believe you only got third place in the science fair!")

I'm going to get the new Borderlands dlc eventually.  Focusing on Warfighter right now, and probably picking up my pre-order of AC3 this weekend.

Zer0 is my favorite character.  I love sniping enemies from a distance, stealthing, and then stabbing them in the back.  Though I could just be partial to the sniper class since my favorite character from the first game is Mordecai.


EDIT:
Beat the new Medal Of Honor game.  The campaign was actually pretty decent though very frustrating at times.  One thing that annoyed me when you died though is how every time the game asks if you want to lower the difficulty.  Every, fucking, time.  I didn't like the multiplayer though.  It was kind like a modern CoD clone disguised with Battlefield-esque "realism".  Those two do not gel well at all.

I've spent more time hacking Borderlands 2 (for the 360) saves for my brother than I have actually playing the game.  In my defense, seeing the shit I can create is very fun, like an assault rifle with a minigun on the end, instead of a regular barrel.

Also, two words: HYPERION.  PARTS.  Best in the game.

Started a new playthrough of Dragon Age: Origins. This time, I'll be playing a rogue who relies on traps to deal damage. So far, it's quite a strain on the old finances, seeing as I have to keep buying trap plans and can no longer sell off all my crafting materials willy-nilly.

Wait a minute...those things were actually useful, and not just condensed money?

Well, they're not really condensed money, seeing as they take up an inventory slot per stack whereas money is for all intents and purposes weightless and volumeless.

I'm pretty sure that Vladof already has assault rifles with miniguns instead of a standard barrel. Also, is there any point in modding the game? I mean this in terms of weapons, I never got the point of doing so. Why not just make yourself the most uber ultimate weapon possible?

Aye, Vladof has the minigun assault rifle.  And...I wouldn't know, I'm not modding the game itself, just the saves.  Also, why mod the weapons, instead of just making an infinity + 1 gun?  One, I don't know how; the way the weapons are setup in the save structure, its not as simple as just typing in "Hyperion Sniper, dmg 10000000000000000000."  You've got to individually select the parts that are tacked on to the gun, thankfully, the program I use knows which parts are compatible with which guns, manufacturers, and gun types, so that takes some of the guesswork out of it, but there's still a lot there.  Which leads me to number two, its fun!  Not knowing what you're going to get, experimenting with various combinations of parts...you never know if you're going to strike out, strike gold, or find that one really, really weird gun that's almost impossible to get naturally.  One that's so unique, nobody else has it, and it outstrips everything else in its class, because you managed to find that 1 in 1,000,000 ultra-winning combination.

Its all about the journey, my friend.

Gearbox has been banning people who have been modding their games. So... Yeah.

Also, I play Axton. I'm gonna do a Gaige playthru eventually. Not sure I can ever do a Maya or Zer0 playthru tho.

Everyone's got their own playstyle and I think that influences a lot of who you play as.  I love Zer0 and you can actually get a pretty good rythym going with him.  I choose mostly the Bloodshed talent tree, and I'd pick off the some of the stronger ones or shoot off Goliath helmets with my sniper rifle.  Then I'd run in revolver blazing, stealth, and assinate someone, then run around sharpshooting with my revolver until stealth recharages, and rinse and repeat.  That method especially worked with the Bloodshed tree since one ability temporaily increases your melee when you get a kill with a gun and vice versa, so I'd constantly get HUGE critical hits.

For any old dynasty warriors fans. If you can stand a bit of angst Dynasty Warrior: Gundam 3 is probably the best Dynasty Warrior I've played in ages. The mechanics are actually interesting and you can set AgnstyMcCutterBoy up with Haro as a operator making for a wonderfully amusing combination of messages. A horribly huge body count with a huge variety of attacks and strategic bullshit to run screaming around the field to handle. I've been enjoying myself till I can get my PC games re-installed.

I actually started my Axton playthru cause Axton seemed pretty cool from the previews and stuff. It just so happens how he plays is something I can work with.

In the first Borderlands I played as Roland and Brick. So.

I want to play 3 so damn much, but I'm stuck with 2 until I get a proper system. Of course, it takes a back seat to finding Warriors Orochi.

3 has a few definite improvements in it, you only ever turn around from a blank battle field to find a horde when you've killed everything in front of you(surprisingly easy to do with some time invested). Something that always bothered me about the dynasty warrior games.
