Yay, borderlands! I think it's been my favourite franchise for a solid decade now and Borderlands 2 certainly swallowed a huge portion of my life and honestly still does to some degree.
The series has had some gems and some less than great content but the gameplay loop has always been very satisfying!
I quite liked the maps myself and the story whilst perhaps a little to obvious was fun.
My biggest problem was the enemy/mission level scaling which found you falling behind the main story mission quite easily making for some either very tough fights or some less than thrilling side quest farming.
Oh and how long it took to unlock weapon slots 3 & 4. Such a slog!
Never see anyone mention it so I'll go with Hyperblade!
Futuristic combat skating game that was played in stadiums akin to the inside of a rugby/american football so you had high sides for doing tricks, goals at each end and hazards in the middle.
Hazards I hear you ask? Why yes! Spinning gates with blades on them to hurt your opponents and various other objects caused a small amount of bodily harm and bleeding. This led to a viable strategy of simply killing the opposing team.
Bonus points if you decapitated them too - literally. You could use opposing players heads to score more goals. Hilarious and probably not suitable for an early teens kid but I think I mostly turned out ok.
I thump my water bottle down on the desk just hard enough to make my mouse trigger and wake up the PC. By the time I'm sat comfortably it's awaiting a password :]
Managed to see Limp Bizkit twice during the late 00's/early 10's when they shoved their way onto a festival lineup. Second best band of the weekend! Go if you can!
Sadly nothing as I'm kinda broke. Got enough in my backlog to see me through though.
About to drop the most influential album of our time 😎
Best I can do is suspicious side eye and some light hissing 😆
Your Willow is gorgeous!
Yep, so cute! 🥺
Also adopted Buffy at the same time but she is no longer with us sadly.
I picked up a leg infection this past week bad enough that I've had a wound dressing and been on bed rest a lot. So bored!
Started of with a fever too so I can sympathise with that awful feeling.
HeyGabbaGabba for Descent. Tried it in Decent 2 and it knocked me down to 1hp :D
Very much so. Pre sequel came out after 2 though which is a tad confusing but I look forward to your impressions!

Not seeing any love for Toejam and Earl Back in the Groove. Reimagining of the 90's Mega drive classic made by the original dev.
Apparently a possum meme. I'm ok with this.

Huh, that was what 5 years ago now? I will remember telling randy he was wrong (in perhaps an alcohol fuelled rant 🤭) only to get swiftly blocked.
Brick voice 'Ahhh good times!'
Tom Clancy's Rainbow Six. Could be a fun mini series to adapt. The video game never grabbed me though.
Not great. Perpetually exhausted (~4 years, onset), GP just gaslights me into thinking I'm fine.
My friends have all but abandoned me since the pandemic.
I have no job and due to the aforementioned fatigue struggle to find a route back to employment.
On the plus side my cat loves me. Probably something to doo with tuna.
Overall I think I win.

Stardew Valley has been a life saver during bouts of insomnia.
Other than that BG3 and Golf with your Friends.
Hell yeah! Never thought I'd see this mentioned anywhere. I'd love a modern take on this.
