20 gig hard drives simply do not suffice. My 360 grinds like a chainsaw when I attempt to play anything from the disc so I make sure to install the game de jour. My dismay that my drive was full once I purchased The Secret Armory of General Knoxx was strong. Thankfully I had forgotten that I installed Assassin’s Creed 1 and freed up 6 gigs that way. I need want a new 360. In a perfect world, I’d get this one. The 250GB drive means that I can install every game I own and never have to delete anything, ever. It’s a bit excessive, I know. I could use the two extra controllers to give to friends and, hey, FFXIII. EB has the edition with the faceplate but I tend to get screwed on pre-order bonuses — they get my money and I get no bonus — so I am wary. And the whole deal is pretty gosh darn expensive. Hamburgers.

*ahem* Borderlands. I’m a fan. I wrote three different entries about how I lived on Pandora for a while and one about borked achievements (since fixed). I was live blogging my experiences as I first stepped into T-Bone Junction and I placed them below the cut in case people want to go into it knowing absolutely nothing.

7:01pm: WOAH. That was intense. I did not expect a ship to crash practically on my face in the new starting town and send super fast dual sword wielding females to slice up my ass and face.

My initial reaction was to run away in a panic since they were too fast for me to zoom and snipe. My directionally-impaired bird actually hit one of them and, with some minor distance, I shot from the hip for the other one. Also glad to get 660 exp from each and not the 7 that some people have been reporting. Man, I can’t imagine levelling up with higher enemies giving such crap exp.

7:04pm: wtf I died.

7:05pm: It’s a spawncamping boss with missiles. not impressed. 2 shots = dead and I am max level. I shoulda spent more time farming better weapons. I’m still using stuff from Playthrough 1! She’s regaining health faster than I can take her down.

7:08pm: Corrosive ftw. My bird did a solid job and I switched to a much lower level sniper than my main weapons, but it let me finish her off and earn second wind. Now I need to find someone with a nice corrosive sniper rifle to spare so I can crush her next time! Man, I need new weapons. Please let the new drops not suck.

… aaaaaaaaaaand then I took a break to help a friend with something and drink some tea. Back to it! Tomorrow I rant a little about Nintendo and old technology.
