I'd go for BL2 if the narcoleptics can hack it.

By the by, there's an really easy way to dupe items, so if you play online with the random matchmaker and see dudes packing eight of the same gun, that's why.

I'm pretty sure that all female Halloween costumes are supposed to be "sexy (noun)" not spooky

Just FYI Malcolm, I am commonly in games according to Steam, but actually walked away from my PC hours ago. Tonight was an example of that.

So after we logged, I jumped back in to see if the vendors changed items. I went to the gun store and went right for the ammo machine. I got done, turned around, and there's a lvl 13 Vault Hunter standing there talking to Marcus. I immediately figured someone jumped into my game, but I discovered I could talk to him. He was AI, and said it's nice to meet another vault hunter, and threw me a better shield than I equipped.

Wonder how many other little secrets like that are out there?

Slots results for Moxxi's.

More interesting wins (I think the slots are anything but random, too)...
x3 Legs: Blue Weapon or Purple Weapon
x3 Marcus: Purple Weapon
x3 Borderlands logo: Orange Weapon
x3 Eridium Bar (1): 4 Eridium
x3 Eridium Bars (2): 8 Eridium
x3 Eridium Stack (3): 16 Eridium

Leish landed a triple Marcus last night. I kept wandering what 3 BL logos is. Guess I know now.

Yes and no.

He definitely stood out from the AI, but didn't look like any of the 5 player characters.

He even had his guns strapped to his body the way a player does...

Thats so cool! i haven't seen anything like that so far. I do know that there is a robot called Jimmy Jenkins that can be found in many different places and you're supposed to kill him when you see him. I personally haven't seen that either.

Easter Eggs are the best. It honestly adds so much to a game to come across hidden stuff like that.

The only disappointing thing about BL2 so far? I miss Brick. I loved the tank style of play in the original BL. I know you can kinda get there with Salvadore, but it's not the same. I miss getting into huge fire fights, and then just dropping my guns, and punching people to death.

I'll be on tonight between 9-10. Let's continue pushing through!

The lack of a true damage sponge encourages a play style other than "Rush everything through the front door."

If no, BL2, I'd be up for LoL. I don't work tomorrow, so I'll be playing something.

True, but I think that might be where BL2 lacks a bit. I think Zero and Siren feel a bit too similar. I would have dumped one for a tank.
