    Borderlands - The PreSequel!

    After watching a few analysis videos of the pre-alpha gameplay, I think the Pre-Sequel will be pretty interesting. Without the slag element (replaced by cryo/freeze), if they decide to put in a "UVHM" equivalent, then it won't be that reliant on the bonus damage from slag (which I hated when I...

    What are you currently playing?

    I've been playing a lot of Diablo III, Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, and Fire Emblem: Awakening recently. I've also touched upon some osu! and Payday 2.

    Recent Gaming Purchases?

    Just bought One Finger Death Punch on Steam. ($4.99) Based on a few gameplay vids of it, this game sounds like a lot of fun!

    Favorite Playable DLCs

    First of all, I don't like DLC that is either: 1) purely aesthetic, or 2) "Map Packs" coughcallofdutycough I usually like paying for content that offers a little more "meat" than that (i.e. new game modes or expansions). That said, though, I do enjoy DLC when it's done right. I liked the...

    it's Back! - How Much Do YOU Love Video Gaming? - Raffle Winner Announced!

    Oooo free money! *No but seriously, I guess I'll join the party. I've been inactive for a while and I think this'll be a good way to come back.

    What are you currently playing?

    I've been playing a lot of Path of Exile recently, and it's really fun! (At least, more than other RPGs) The microtransaction system is probably one of the fairest I've seen in a while: Most of the items are purely cosmetic (the extra stash tabs are probably the only thing that could provide...

    Favorite Pokémon Tournament - Legendaries PART 1 (Dec. 9-16)

    My votes for this round go to Xerneas - It has a pretty nice design, and it's the "good" legendary in a sense. Mewtwo - For being the only Pokemon who can out-match Arceus in terms of BST. Palkia - Space! Dialga - ...and time!

    Mods (no not the moderators :P)

    I love mods. I've applied a lot of mods to a whole host of games, such as N-Terraria (for Terraria); Pixelmon, Equivalent Exchange, plus a whole bunch of other mods in Minecraft; and some Zombies mods for CoD: World at War. I have to say that mods are great - they can re-spark an interest in a...

    What are you currently playing?

    I've been experiencing the singleplayer/alone phase of my gaming life... I completed Tomb Raider (2013) just a few hours ago, and now I'm working on Far Cry 3. Plus a bit of State of Decay, Killing Floor, and CS:GO mixed in. EDIT: Yay for the Autumn Steam Sale that just passed! That's where I...

    Solo mode or...?

    I like solo'ing a lot of games. Simple as that. However, If I buy a multiplayer game, I usually try to make sure that there's at least co-op. (Notable exceptions are Call of Duty and Counter-Strike) ...Then again, there are games where it really is more enjoyable with friends. I own a few of...

    Favorite Pokémon Tournament - Fairy (Nov. 28 - Dec. 5)

    Hmm...I'm not very partial to Fairy-types, but I think I'll vote for the Toge- line and Swirlix. Why? Well...Swirlix is simply appealing by pure design. And the Toge-'s I can understand as classified under the Fairy type, while still being relatively useful in combat.

    What moves do you get the most frustrated with?

    In general, I usually hate moves such as Confuse Ray, Will-O-Wisp, and Thunder Wave (in other words, 100% accuracy + 100% to proc). Captivate, Charm, and Attract are also annoying. I also EXTREMELY dislike it when a OHKO or <70% accuracy move makes contact without Lock-On, Mind Reader, etc.

    Favorite Pokémon Tournament - Bug (November 17-24)

    Wasn't much of a Bug-type fan until Gen 5. That said, I vote for: Galvantula, Leavanny and Volcarona without a doubt, and maybe Heracross as well. These Bug-types can hold their own in battle fairly well, compared to the other Bugs. Sadly, Bug-types have been further stomped on because it does...

    6th Gen What's you opinion on inverse battles?

    I personally like the Inverse Battle house. It stresses additional thinking about the type matchups, which if you know rather well can form a fun twist/challenge. Unfortunately, since there's only one house (on Route 18) and it's a daily event, it kind of disappoints me that this wasn't...

    6th Gen What's the point of Zygarde?

    Zygarde does seem like a weird "trio member" with Xerneas and Yveltal, with weaker stats and all. Perhaps it will be expanded upon and given more relevance to the story when/if Pokemon Z comes out. Kinda like D/P/Pt, maybe? I mean, Giratina wasn't too involved in the plot for D/P, (in fact, I...
