     I was at my usual haunt, The Gyphon Café, when I saw they had drawn up some game related signs outside the front door. I thought I’d share them here and start a series called GameSpotting where I post game related photographs.

    I already mentioned that I played Road Rash in Part Six of this blog series, but I kept following the series with Road Rash 3D and Jailbreak. Those were pretty terrible; so instead, I got my destruction racing on with Destruction Derby 2.

     I played about eight hours of Borderlands 2 today with my buddy Mark. We played our own separate games for a while. I was going for rocket splash damage and shotgun point-blank kills in the Challenges, and so I ratcheted down the difficulty because doing close combat with an Assassin on True Vault Hunter mode was getting me killed way too often. I’m happy to find out that the game saves the state of the world for each difficulty mode so you can go back to it later without losing anything.

     I started the day by watching The Wind Rises in the theater. I knew I was going to cry like a baby all throughout and, sure enough, I did. There were several other people there, so I had to contain it to a certain extent.

                It’s the end of BaD, I just got Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy, Wind Rises is out in theaters this weekend, and I’ll likely be playing Borderlands 2 all day on Sunday. It’s a good week.

     First off, during these years my friend Mark and I started going to FuncoLand and the flea markets and we picked up all the older systems like the Atari 2600, Intellivison, Colecovision, NES, SNES, and Genesis. I replayed some old games I loved and found some new ones.

    Just looking through the games coming out in March. Question is, which do I buy day-one and which do I wait for? It's a really tough decision. Buying all of them would probably cost $250 which is way beyond my budget. One, maybe two of them is possible.

     Played a bunch of Borderlands 2. Collected a bunch of achievements and then restarted the game on Vault Hunter difficulty. Gaining levels a lot faster, enemies a lot tougher, the battles a lot more enjoyable and hectic. I am still dying alot being an Assassin. It's hard to keep these bull rushing enemy off you long enough to site them with your sniper rifle. Bacially I feel like a very weak player in this game.
