Don’t forget to add Diablo 3 to that list.
Mine will probably be XCOM: Enemy Unknown but I don’t think the strategy genre gets enough attention for one of its games to ever have a shot at winning. Nor do strategy gamers care enough about these press awards to make enough noise (we’re more concerned over if the game will turn out any good).
Sleeping Dogs should win biggest surprise of the year however.
Steam ID is mmking9999.
Dammit there are walkthroughs on youtube already… must resist spoilers!!!
The excitement I felt when it loaded… I was squealing and gripping my 360 controller hella hard. Big Screen mode is so legit. The interface is nice as fuck.

Co-Opin’ n shit.
Stupid game is sitting in my hard drive while I have to wait for the 21st to actually be able to play it.
lol i know ur pain man…
BL2 does seem harder overall. I find myself running out of ammunition more often, though that may be because I’m getting crap-for-drops (first shotgun had the “fires as fast as you can click” prop… only to have to reload every shot. Now I have an explosive one that eats up ammo like no tomorrow). I just want an SMG already. Also no inventory-accessible health potions unless I’m being a dumbass, which is very likely (I kept forgetting to use Phaselock for about half of Flynt’s ship, lol. The headshots it lets you set up are glorious, though).
Fun so far, though. Doesn’t have BL1’s empty lull periods in between action. Should be even more fun with friends tomorrow.
Preorder only comes with Gaige, right?
Yep but im sure it’ll be available as dlc at some point. Have you come across any class mods yet?
XBLA- AYO Merc.
Picking it up at 10, I hope it’s not like the first title where I’m the only one that isn’t a Siren online. Tired of those bitches using Flash speed to dart to objectives, die, and blame me for being to slow while I mop up everything with EXPLOSIONS FIST Brick.
I really miss Brick.
Word - I picked Brick based solely on his intro bio (And Brick: As Himself)… I never had reason to look back.

Steam name: DVS. Probably going to hop on around 5 or 5:30 pm Atlantic depending on when my buddy hops on.
I’ll be on XBL - Biggzy
I won’t be on until tomorrow night though. BL1 was awesome. One of the few games I actually bought DLC for.
The first time I went berserk with Brick, I almost pissed myself. Those grunts and screams and maniacal laughs, too good 
Anyone know what having Borderlands Uno data does for this game? It checked at the beginning when I started it up, sadly my data wasn’t on this HD though I still have the game disc so can go through if need be, given that it’s worth it.
Tried out Salvadore the Gunserker and it’s not the same, not a fan of his double weapon power and while I can tank I still felt rather weak. Switched to Zero since he has a strong Melee attack like Brick did, and I can pretend to be Storm Shadow or Solid Snake.
Borderlands data gives you some bonus customization stuff.
Cool, see if popping my disc in and just having that data will do anything.
That does it. It just looks for any save file.
My brother used my disc, saved a character, and put BL2 back in and it worked fine.
Ive created an SRK steam group: [LEFT]SRK_Borderlands 2[/LEFT]
I tried out both today.
First Zero, then Salvadore.
I even went so far as to put the Statham with a beard face on him, and dubbing him “Brick Junior”.
Neither is anywhere nearly as godlike as Brick.

I started a game with Axton today. Reminds me of a better Roland. His turret can shoot 360 degrees, but it doesn’t have a shield (unless you get the skill for it).
