Clearing the Backlog #1 Borderlands 2

Time to get some of these out of the way.


I first played this in maybe 2013-2014 with Cathy. I played the Gunzerker for a bit but switched to the Siren, Maya, while she played Zer0 after giving Axton a go for a bit. I remember it being tedious but on occasions fun, though we seemed to just g through endless firefights and relying on second wind a lot. We got better and managed to finish the game eventually. Anyway, here we go again on the new laptop.



^ You know, the audio helped a lot, it was much more enjoyable this time around.


^ Worthy of worship. The best Siren.


^ A taste of what is to come in Borderlands 3?


^  I always liked the raiders in this. Note the Moxxi gun, I always get them.


^ I really diversified in this; you can carry 4 weapons anyway so I usually had a pistol, sniper, rocket launcher and something else; in Blands 1 it was SMG all the way sometimes. Or some of the (WAY BETTER) unique weapons. Though this game had some contenders later...



^ Is this the acid pistol tha


^ Why should I ever trust you again?


^ Sad.





^ Dick.


^ You are a disappointment to your mother.


^ I regret everything. I'm sorry.


^ The return of the beast.




^ This was way harder in co-op for some reason.





^ Some great scenes in this.



^ Sirens unite.




^ Fuck you, Jack. Even though Roland was the blandest.



^ These were fun little asides.



^ Sorry buddy.




^ I sided with the Oirish this time; they had a gun I wanted.


^ Le glitch?



^ This was quite hard initially; I had to come back and do it.



^ Nice to do some of these sidequests...


^ This guy hit hard, and no enemies around to second wind... great loot though


^ Yes.


^ The Lady Fist or whatever - holy fudge that critical damage.



^ Poor Cl4ptr4p...



^ Apparently the Warrior is no match for this gun. True.



^ Classic. Build up a villain like this as much as possible and then get a hell of a payoff kicking him around the place.


^ Uh oh! Good thing I have this pistol...




^ Probably the only battle I wasn't downed or second-winded etc.


^ Sad. A memorable villain, no doubt.


^ Aww the gang is almost back together.

It was way more entertaining this time around. Hearing all the dialogue helped a lot. Still an often repetitive shooter, but my regard for it has increased. I played a little bit of the DND DLC and it was very good.

Civilization V (part 2)

  Because for some reason I tagged the Civ 5 blog post as a part 1 so here is part 2, the screenshots are from this computer, while that blo...
