yah. i actually was a little meh at first. with the mechanics, having it jump off with heavy Jack'isms was SMART. i lurv the sense of humor for the game. but after you get past pistols into subs and sniper rifles is when it starts to really pick up loot wise.
i'm still moist for when they bump up the level cap. there's 2 dl packs i don't think i've played yet. WAITING.

Maaaan I love the kooky translations of the old FF games. It's a large part of the charm for me.

also on the game front I upgraded my video card too a GTX 660 ti but I am still playing a lot of World of Warcraft, Guild Wars 2 and occasionally Heroes of Newerth, though I may just put the axe in that game since MOBA communities are the fucking worst. Its troll central.
I still have Dead Space 2, Darkstalkers 2, and Civilization 5 loaded on my computer that I have either not played or lost complete interest in. I am still struggling to play music with out being distracted by any game mentioned and or Twitch.tv.
oh twitch.tv........
After my best friend told me about it I have been a pure addict for the last 3 years and it is now the main media that I watch.
Favorite streamers are Man vs Game, Team Spooky (which does east coast street fighter), Reckful (wow arena player, very pouplar), Towlliee ( another wow streamer)
I also have to mention probably my favorite person to watch play and that is Cosmowright (or Cosmo for short). Watching him play games at the level he does is simply just mind boggling. He is the co-founder of speedrunslive and just recently I watched him beat The Legend of Zelda Wind Waker in 4 hours 30 minuets roughly....... The level of play is just staggeringly amazing.
isn't team spooky also west coast? I'm pretty sure wednesday night fights is streamed from that big arcade in san fran, isn't it? might be thursdays thing (throwdown thrusdays? dont remember)
also yeah bro, twitch is seriously my tv these days
I watch anywhere from a few hours a day to all day, mostly sc2 tourneys, lol tourneys, tsmtheoddone (lol jungler), and any of the charity ones. Like right now till saturday there's a speed run marathon to raise funds for cancer prevention and awareness. pretty cool

Getting deeper into Borderlands 2 and they've definitely rearranged parts of the game...not badly, just different. I'd like to lose the obvious labeling of things like the exploding barrels and the somewhat-annoying quest marker/pointer/'go here' thingy, but the fights themselves (which I think may be a bit toughter overall than the first game) make up for it.
It's also interesting to me watching how the game uses my system (C2D E6750 o/c'd to 2.93, GTX 560ti, 4 gigs RAM, Win7 x64) - I have readouts on my side monitor for CPU-, GPU-, and RAM-usage, and one that shows how much wattage my UPS is pulling at any given moment...in some fights, I glance over at these and see the system basically running full-bore @ around 375/380 watts, but it runs like a dream at around 65/70 fps all night long.
Fun fun fun!

It blows my mind how some games run awesomely and some games run like total crap for me. Like I can only play Chivalry (not an overly demanding game) with all of the settings at their lowest and only on ~20 player servers, but I can run Far Cry 3 with everything maxed and it's all smoooooove.
I've got an Athlon II X4 (quadcore) 2.9GHz, 16GB of RAM, and a GTX 480...I know the Athlon is obsolete at this point but it's still a nearly 3GHz quadcore...the hell.
And now if I wanna upgrade the CPU I need a new motherboard; may as well get a new case while I'm at it. Blehhhhhhhh PC gaming

It IS kind of a chore. My pc is still good to play the latest stuff but i'm not looking forward to when it falls behind too much. I don't play many new games so maybe i can keep it going for quite a while without dumping loads more cash into it but I know it'll have to happen eventually. Couldn't do current console gaming though, spending lots of money on a mchine that can only play expensive games and not pc stuff as well? Not for me.
