You Might Like to Know

The gaming bug has bit me hard this fall.  First there was Left 4 Dead 2, and The World of Goo, then COD Modern Warfare 2 and now Borderlands.  All those games have the ability to create time travel – you know,  you sit down and pop open a game for a little R&R and then in a blink of a bleary eye you fall through a black hole or something and you tumble out the other side 7 hours older, hungry and with a bladder that is stretched so thin it’s probably transparent by now.  You know . . .  time travel.

Borderlands is part Fall Out 3, part Diablo 2 and part Quake.  If these names mean nothing to you, I apologize – translated – This game is swell and a lot of fun, and perhaps an excellent Christmas present for that whippersnapper in the family.

I recently had the opportunity to experience the multiplayer co-op version of the game when Greg-the-Dominator came by for a visit.  And I can tell you, once we add Katie-the-Devistator to the mix, no Bandit, Skag or Psycho will be left alive.  Even the mighty Skagzilla will be defeated.  I would bet my Jacobs Fearsome Thunder on it!
