But a while back, my brother informed me of this game he loved called Borderlands that - and I quote - 'even YOU couldn't be that bad at.' I didn't think much of it at the time considering it was an Xbox game and I don't have an Xbox. But lo and behold, a few days ago one of the boys mentioned it and I was like "HEY! that sounds familiar."
My first chance to actually play it was today, because Emily, Anne, and Eric are out of town, which leaves just me, Dave, and Patrick. Around four-ish Dave was like, 'Hey, you haven't tried Borderlands yet,' and I was all 'No, I haven't,' which we decided must be immediately remedied.
And so here we are. For the last five hours or so, I've been running around behind David's character, shooting bandits and alien monsters with an incendiary repeater pistol (thus setting them on FIRE!) while occasionally using skills to turn invisible, run up to an enemy, and PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE. I'm not even that bad! (According to David, I have aiming issues, but hey, whatever.)
Here's a pic of the characters. Mine is the chick, and David's playing as the black guy. We pwn.
If it's such an epic game, you ask, then why am I wasting time on the Internet? Well... apparently wearing glasses and staring at a screen for five hours straight causes headaches and cross-eye. Yes, I am actually currently cross-eyed. (I have to keep going back and fixing typos as I write this.) David is suffering from similar symptoms.
We'll be at it again in twenty minutes, I guarantee it. This game's addicting. I'll probably end up as one of those stories parents tell their kids to make them quit playing video games and go outside. You know, that girl that went blind from staring at a TV for hours on end. Just wait.
All-nighter, here I come.
