Oh hey, it's the end of September 25, 2012. Guess that means its time for another Late Night Computing session.

My night was filled with the howls of psychos echoing through the valleys of Borderlands 2, but I still haven't progressed very far. My save file says I've got around 10 hours in at level 13. Seems a bit low, right? Maybe I need to stop goofing about with the slots machine at Moxxi's and roaming the wasteland to actually progress the story a bit. And this, this is why open world games cause me to sigh rather deeply before diving in.

Chatty posts of the moment.

Make sure you log-in and check your filters if you can't see the following:

• "I'm thinking of playing through old NES/SNES games since there's a ton of games on both systems that I haven't played, and it would be nice to go back to simple 2D sprites and gameplay. I'm also going to stream it live so you guys can laugh at me as I play through the games for the first time. Any suggestion for a list of games that you consider a good game to play (or even challenging)? I have played through many NES/SNES games, but I'm curious to see what else I've missed. I'll probably try a Contra no-death run as a warm up, though it's been years since I've played it." [by DHAvatar]

• "X-Com Demo Impressions. I'm not interested in talking about the X-Com: Enemy Unknown demo too much (it will ultimately dominate, and we have other stuff we want to talk about) when we record GAL #13, so instead I'll start a thread here. Feel free to chime in lower, but I'm posting my impressions IN REPLY. " [by MercFox1]
