Have you picked up Borderlands yet? No? Why not? It's only like the best game to come out this year. Don't believe me? That's cool. We all have different opinions n stuff.

So yea. I picked up Borderlands on Tuesday, played solo till about level 7 or 8 and had a pretty good time. Yesterday though when I got home work I headed straight to my PS3, booted it up, and hopped into the world of Pandora. I ended up joining a party with two other Dtoiders and we played Borderlands straight till 12AM.

12AM!

I'm not supposed to do that anymore. I can't remember the last time a game had me up way past my bedtime totally making me lose all sense of time. But that just goes to show how awesome the game is.

You see, the game always has something for you to do. Level up your character, increase your proficiency with a certain weapon type, hunt for exotic loot, bang out some quests, explore different zones/areas. The list goes on. And this is why the MMO-style of progression is so great (and hopefully an upcoming extension in gaming as a whole). You are always working towards something. You are always being rewarded. And what makes this all the more enjoyable is that you can do it with friends.

For example, when we first started playing last night we were getting our asses handed to us in a dungeon. I guess because there were three of us the enemies scaled up to a point where they were incredibly tough. So we decide to go out and do some more quests while gaining some levels before we went back. Once we finished we went back to the dungeon and DESTROYED it. Very satisfying. Oh, and ElZilcho managed to find a sniper rifle that has a chance to incinerate people. I didn't even get the weapon, but I was excited because that is totally fucking badass.

Alright, I'm done. Go out and pick up Borderlands. Seriously, do it! If you end up getting it for the PS3 drop a message for me (handle: wtfistheinternet). I have a feeling that I'll be playing this game for quite some time. If you pick it up I'm sure you would do the same.
