Maybe it's the fact that it's now 3:00AM up in here and that my hands hurt from too much Borderlanization and the fact that I'm kinda mellow right about now , mainly because I'm listenning to Method Man's Tical album as I write this C-Blog. ANYWAY! I better get started before I fall asleep on my keyboard.

For those of you who are still one the fence about getting Borderlands or want to have a good old time of videogame playing before the final game rush of '09 well let me tell you very clearly.

WHAT TEH HELL R U WAITINGS FOARZ!

The game's amazing and it's probably the best coop you'll ever get until Left 4 Dead 2 drops and I'm still pushing it. Borderlands is straight up fun alone or with friends and you would be a goddamn fool passing over this great title. (2K I'm waiting for that generous check KTHX)

Borderlands is freaking great and a lot of DToiders have done it justice by many great C-Blogs impressions but as far as I'm concerned I'm here to talk you guys into something very important that I have come to realized in the past days. You need to , NO ! You are obligated to finish the game and start a Playthrough 2 save game in order to fully appreciate this gem.

Much like any quest based RPGs Borderlands kinda falls flat in the first hours by giving you very simple and repetitive missions à la Assassin's Creed or World of Warcraft but don't be fooled by the bland nature of these missions and by all means KEEP PLAYING. To be honest I personnaly rushed the entire first playthrough by running and shooting like I was running from the cat. Seriously I think I finished the last quest in an hour by skypping enemies and shooting the shit out of foes with my trusthy SMG.

The game truely shines however when the difficulty is upted a whole lot with the New Game + and for that you need to finish the game. Gearbox are freaking genious of RPG making they nailed it right on the spot not only are the loots and experience all ranked up with your level but the enemies also which is kinda natural you would think but HOLY FUCKING SHIT , you ain't seen nothing yet.

Let's put it at that ; Have you ever finished a battle shooting your way thru every centimeter against 5 BAD MUTHAS MOBS? (Which are the upgraded version of Badasses or Elites) and about 15 other opponents raging between bloodthristy creatures to beefed up thugs, well I did.



And it's probably one of the most addictive and satisfying experience I have played in a very long time. That is particulary why I dictate you to keep playing even if you have finished the story line once. Your initial playthrought will not provide the same intensity that Playtrought 2 offers.
The amount of mobs is extremely increased and the encounters pack a real punch.

You will be most likely to be equiped with 85% of purples and with a nearly completed skill tree, you'll feel like a total badass even if you are playing your life each time you're pulling the trigger.

We all love a challenge and the fact that we have to play about 20 hours of Borderlands before we encounter that little bugger is kinda dissapointing but once you've left the whom of I-Will-Hold-Your-Hand-Kindergarden you'll never want to go back in that comfortable pussy of a nest.

So my fellow D-Toiders , if don't already have , go buy this game and anticipate that sweet smell of Hardcorism in your trousers.

I'm out son!



See I'm a bad mutha!
