About Me
Hey guys,

for years you have known me as Ali D but now I am revealed as Alasdair Duncan, who also happens to be a bearded Scottish guy. Who've thunk it, right? I'm currently working with the PC team to cover all things personal computer related and also writing the odd review. I'm also one of the moderators on the forums trying to keep the place all nice and tidy for you all.

Plus I crave attention via the following:

Borderlands to have weapon-based trading cards?[shortblog]
Alasdair Duncan | 8:58 AM on 09.14.2009 12 comments




Randy Pitchford from Gearbox did an interview in Sydney recently and let slip some mroe tasty nuggest of info on Borderlands. You can read the full interview here, but I'll summarise some cool points:

The game will feature a function that will allow you to export a JPG of any gun you find which can then be uploaded to a community website that will allow you to compare stats. Awesome. Considering there's going to be a shit-tonne of guns in this game, I can't wait to show off all the tasty kit I get. Anyone up for making a Borderlands trading card game?

The game isn't using Games For Windows Live. Hooray!

Mod SDK at launch? Not confirmed, but Randy seems keen on it. One thing the PC version will have is a demo benchmarking tool. Which is rather cool, as HL: The Lost Coast has been my bench marking tool for a while, but it's not really up to it now.

Borderlands is looking like a great, fun game. Blasting through this is going to be one of the highlights towards the end of the year I'm sure.

*has a nightmare flashback to the Final Fantasy VIII trading card game*

AAAAAAAAAAARGH!

Actually, this sounds like harmless community fun and it won't interfere with the game. So...Win-Win!

Probably the game I'm most excited about.

hmm I don't know if I should get this for the PS3 or PC. It can go either way since FPS controls don't matter to me much on either console or computer.

Getting this one for the PS3 and looking forward to the co-op!

Please, make it happen.

I'm so looking forward to this game. Even more than Uncharted 2. Gonna be great!

I had a hard time deciding between PC and the PS3, but in the end, I'd rather sit on my couch or in my comfy recliner than in a computer chair. Hopefully these features will be doable from the PS3 since the PSN is free and plays pretty nice with developers.
