Today I started Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (BtPS) again continuing some side missions I was on when co-op happened. I forget exactly why my friend Mark and I started playing the missions co-op, but it was very helpful in the last several story missions to beat the game.

I'm going to be (that is if I didn't have to work and if I was one year into my new work out regimen that I'm starting soon) Gene from God Hand. More speficially, his final battle version which has him with both the god and devil hands. That means a right arm brace and a left arm sleave tattoo. Oh yeah!

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, or you could call it Borderlands 1.5 or someting. It's right between B1 and B2. I just hit a pretty big boss fight and story reveal and I'm beginning to see how many elements of B2 came to be. It's super fun learning about the charcter's origins from both games and the various enemies of B2. I was getting a little worried this game would have nothing new to offer me but further mining for loot, but I'm excited again about the world and the characters. 

Well I'm a level 20 Fragtrap now in Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and I've still not finished the story. I get distracted quite a bit doing side missions and figuring out a system of saving and disposing of extra weapons.

Spent the whole day playing Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (BtPS) again. I'm up to level 17 as Claptrap. I haven't finished the main story-line although my friend Mark, playing right next to me on his own system, is pretty close to the end. I've been trying not to pay too much attention so I don't spoil the story for myself, but it's not easy. 

You know, I always wanted to know what those pod-like things were in the Japanese arcades. Well now I know they are Panoramic Optical Displays or P.O.D. for short. Now one has come to the U.S., possibly coming to a Dave & Busters near you. It's called Star Wars Battle Pod and it's pretty cool. Watch the vid.

Started the day out with a breakfast burrito from my freezer. Then I went to my usual Starbucks and got a grande iced coffee with mocha and two rivet shakers from Philly Pretzel Factory right next door. Then I made my way to Mark's place to play video games and watch the football game.

This week I came up with a new way to select games to play. I pick a random genre on allgame.com using random.org to get a number from 1 to 15, and then sort the games by rating and look down the list until I see one I want to play. I generated an 8, which means the Racing genre and saw Diddy Kong Racing (DKR) for N64 near the top of the list. I have this game still in its box for N64 and haven't played it in ages. So I packed up my N64 and the game to take with me when I go to my friend Mark's place on Sunday.
