I'm pretty sure everyone is insane on this planet Diary-bot and I'm starting to think it's infecting me too.

I managed to track down some of Nakayama's ECHO diaries and it's quite clear he has a serious man crush on…

I'm Making A Game (Update 1)

Earlier this week I finished up the last game screen mock up which brings me to the end of the concept art phase. For now anyways as I'm sure there will be more concept work to do later. My new goal is to get a very rough prototype up and running so I have something that can actually be interacted with. I expect this to take a while because I'm using programs I've never used before and I haven't programmed anything in yeeears. So it might be a while before I update my progress here again.…See More

I'm Making A Game

Actually that's been the plan for a while now I just failed to mention it here before. I did type up a development document, track down freeware programs to make it and finished the concept art work. Then I spent the last four months doing nothing. I recently came to the conclusion that my idea, while interesting, was waaaay too ambitious a project for me to undertake right now. I hope to revisit the idea sometime in the future but for now it's very much in storage.So why bring this all up now?…See More

It was really is just a messed up bullymong but just between you and me it was a little rough going. Between fending off loaders, waiting for Deathtrap to recharge and Jackenstien jumping on my head it took a few attempts to put the thing out of my misery.Then Nakayama showed up talking a big game. That was until he tripped, fell down…See More

5.11.xxxxI'm pretty sure everyone is insane on this planet Diary-bot and I'm starting to think it's infecting me too.I managed to track down some of Nakayama's ECHO diaries and it's quite clear he has a serious man crush on Handsome Jack and not in a cute and endearing way either. More like a creepy stalker kind of way. I don't even want to know how he got samples of Jack's DNA. Thinking about it gives me the shivers. Ugh!Next crazy person on the list is Claptrap. He had me track down another…See More

Surrounded By Morons (Spoilers)

5.8.xxxHello Diary-bot!Hammerlock told me that I'd have to use someone as bait to lure Bulstoss out of its lair and suggested I weaken a nearby enemy to do so. He also said there was a sacrifice altar nearby that I could use to speed up this process. Being the inquisitive girl that I am I decided it was best to test out this altar first in order to see how it works before luring a bandit over to it. As it happens a roof of spikes falls onto the altar. The same altar that I was standing on. I…See More

A Hunting We Will Go (Spoilers)

5.5.xxxxBeen awhile hasn't it Diary-bot?I went to see Hammerlock today because he said he had a quest for me to do. I figured it'd be some huge badass monster that needed taking down before it destroyed Pandora. First part turned out to be kind of true, not so much the destroy-Pandora part. He wanted me to go on a hunting trip with him and bond or some shit. I would have said no but I had nothing better to do.Anyways I meet him near the lodge that was to be our base camp and we discovered that…See More

Even More Badass

4.9.xxxxSup Diary-bot?For awhile now I've felt like no matter how many people I shoot in the face I'm not getting any stronger. Then last week I felt like I was actually getting stronger again. I even came up with a couple tweaks to Deathtrap to make him even stronger as well! It's pretty awesome. I was actually getting bored with killing people and being a badass for the people of Pandora. I know, crazy right? But now I feel like I could take down Handsome Jack all over again even if her got…See More

It's Been a Long Time Coming (Spoilers)

3.8.xxxxDear Diary-bot,I climbed my way to the top of Flyboy's tower and was frustrated to discover that he flies. Given his name this was no surprise but if Deathtrap has one weakness it's his inability to fuck up flying enemies with the same awesomeness as grounded enemies. Luckily for me Piston showed up in his flying blimp thing and killed him for me. I'll take a large, slow moving target over a small, fast moving target any day. Blew up Piston's ship but he survived somehow so I still have…See More

Me! Obviously! (Spoilers)

1.24.xxxxDear Diary-bot,No sooner had I split from the company of Maya (I don't miss you! I swear! *tear*) that a broadcast went out over Sancuary. Mr. Tourgue (with a little help from Tannis) found a new Vault on Pandora. I know! What are the odds of finding three Vaults on one planet? I'd have Deathtrap run the numbers but his time is better spent killing things. Anywho, it turns out that in order to open this Vault you need to be the biggest most badassest badass on Pandora and then you just…See More

Didn't See That Coming (Spoilers)

Out of character note: My PS3 (the system I have Borderlands 2 on) crapped all over itself a while back and won't play discs of any kind. So until I get that all straightened out this will be the last character diary I do for this game. I do plan to continue doing them in the future though so if you like them look for those coming up.12-12-xxxx, Day 86Dear Diary,First: Gaige, stop hacking into my ECHO diary. I like you but that hasn't stopped me from killing people before. Start your own damn…See More

Collecting the Compass (Spoilers)

12-10-xxxx, Day 84Dear Diary,Finding Scarlett was a simple task. She made us honorary members of her crew and promised to stab us in the back later. She already had one of the four compass pieces we needed to find Captain Blade's treasure. She gave us directions to the next two. Getting them was also an easy task. First one we took from the cold, dead hands of Sandman. Other we lifted from a Hyperion convoy.Last piece required a little more work. It was more creepy then hard. Hermit Herbert had…See More

Most Impressive (Spoilers)

11-21-xxxx, Day 65Dear Diary,It takes a lot to impress a Siren. Know that when I say I take back everything I previously said about Gaige. No sooner had we arrived in Oasis did we get attacked by pirates. We both took cover. Turned towards Gaige and was about to give her some orders when out of nowhere a huge hovering robot appeared. It immediately flew off towards the pirates. Poked my head over our cover. Her robot was slicing pirates in half and clapping it's hands to create explosions that…See More

New Vault Hunter (Spoilers)

10-30-xxxx, Day 43Dear Diary,Lilith ECHOed me today. Said a new Vault Hunter was showing up. Went to Sanctuary to wait. Don't know what I expected the new Hunter to be like. Not a high school girl named Gaige that's for sure.Lilith told me to give her the grand tour. Don't see how some teenage girl is going to be much help. Besides, Jack's ass AND The Warrior's ass have already been thoroughly kicked (by me I might add) so I didn't expect there to be much to do.No sooner had I finished showing…See More

Ending This (Spoilers)

10-23-xxxx, Day 36Dear Diary,Too late. Arrived at The Vault too late. Brick and Mordecai hung back to hold of reinforcements. Jack already had Lilith activating the Key. Tried to finish him off fast. Wasn't fast enough. Jack released The Warrior. Despite its size and supposed endless power The Warrior fell pretty easily. Rage can be an ally in battle but so can a level head and patients.Between coughing up blood Jack cursed us and still claimed to being doing what was best for Pandora. Lilith…See More

Preparing To End This (Spoilers)

10-22-xxxx, Day 35Dear Diary,Jack offered me a job. Simple one really. Just had to commit suicide. I told Jack where he could stick his job. An invincible Marauder killed me on Lover's Leap so I ended up dying anyways. Thank Hyperion for their resurrection towers. It'd be impossible to kill their president if they turned them off or revoked my ID.Jack implied Angel killed her mother when her Siren powers awoke. That's why he imprisoned her. I can relate. My awakening was similarly traumatic for…See More

Death (Spoilers)

10-14-xxxx, Day 27Dear Diary,Finished prep work for going after Angel and the Vault Key. Killed a Jack double. Somewhat satisfying.Destroyed the Core protecting Angel and finally reached her. Remember how I wished Angel was a person so I could strangle her? Got my wish but now, for some reason, I don't want to. But I had to kill her. Jack finally has a good reason for wanting me dead: I killed his daughter. How is it that one of the six Sirens in existence managed to kill another?To make things…See More

Today I 'ave been mostly rememberin': Metroid Games

As I am typing this, we're deep inside the annual summer gaming drought of 2013. The last interesting current gen game I played was Bioshock Infinite. I'm now waiting patiently for The Last of Us to drop through the mail slot. In the interim, I have amused myself by going back and playing a whole bunch of the old Metroid titles. And I've had an absolute blast doing so. It's been one of the most nostalgic and satisfying gaming periods of my entire life. I replayed and finished all five of the…

What is your greatest wish/expection for the new generation?

After some discussion with the axeheads I asked myself what I want out of the next generation of gaming. And my answer is suprising. |It is neither better grafics or better AI. It does not even have to do with hardware.

What I want from the next generation the most is the introduction of used game sales for digital games. As soon as one of the major platforms does that I will go all digital, never looking back.

So, what would you like to see?

Nintendo Says: If devs are worried about used game sales, they should make better games

This bold statement was made by Nintendo and features on the Polygon site.

EpicBattleCry - E3 2013 Special

Step one: its EpicBattleCry! E3 2013 has played host to exciting game news, dramatic moments, and, some would claim, out-and-out homicide. From EA dropping the AT-AT foot to Jack Tretton dropping the mic, this year's Electronic Entertainment Expo will certainly go down as one of the most memorable. With DK still on full-time looking-good-in-LA duty, Brent and Tony sat down to discuss Nintendo's showing at this year's show, the fallout (good and bad) from Sony and…
