Thursday evening beckons, but not before we let you out of here after reading Late Night Computing for September 27, 2012.

Finally! After having an episode of rage quit over Borderlands 2, I returned to my go-to game lately in FTL: Faster than Light. Although it's been a bit of a chore, since I keep coming up with brilliant ways to kill myself, I finally made it to the end successfully. I promptly gave each of my crew a promotion to captain after my virtual slaughter concluded.

Now, to unlock the rest of the ships.

• "I am going through this love/hate thing with Borderlands 2. I love the game, I have put a lot of hours into it mostly solo but I am having a lot of fun. I've done co-op too and that is a blast. I started off bored with the game, then once I hit Sanctuary and the game opened up a bit, I loved it. But this whole limited golden key code crap is starting to irritate me again." [by grendel]
