Yesterday was a good gaming day for me. The wife and daughter were off to Alabama for a birthday party which left me and my son home alone. We got some small chores done outside in the ridiculous GA heat, then Zane went to play at his nephew's house for awhile. That left me plenty of time for some Borderlands fun. I have been so re-addicted to this game after getting the DLC. All of it is really fun content that really shouldn't be missed. I was lucky enough to get all three for around $10.00 during the Steam summer sale.
After a couple of hours of play and a refreshing nap, my son wakes me up and wants to play Heroscape again. I was a little unexcited about playing since we have played a few times before using the basic Risk-style rules where it is all basically dice rolls and no excitement. However, we decided to dig into it and use the advanced rules which make the game a litle more involved and much more fun. We got the rules read, got some Long John Silvers fish and chicken(sooo bad for you, but sooo good), got some Red Rock cola(made with cane sugar...better for you & offsets the aforementioned fast food I believe, right?), and got to playing. I came back in the first game to win, but after an hour break of Borderlands, we played again and we had a real close game but he beat me in the end.
It was past his bedtime at this point, so I got him to bed and was off to play more Borderlands. Before our second game, I had sent out an invite to play some co-op Borderlands. I ended up having a great game until 1:30am with Torchmaster, Cap'n Neon and DevilTurnip. We had an absolute blast with characters around the same level and managed to all level up around 7 levels. This game is a lot of fun single player, but the co-op really adds a missing element of fun.
It was a good day...got some work done, but mostly played...as a Saturday should be.
