Ha HA, the interwebs are not rid of me yet!
Been tearing about and wrecking evil in Dragon Age: Inquisition. Somebody at Bioware likes Mortal Kombat a lot, since they made a wonderful little combo of Scorpion's Get Over Here with a Sub-Zero's Freeze of Death (my terms) that makes the mooks go squish.
The characters are pretty inspired too. I love Varric AKA Snarky the Eighth Dwarf and his Bianca AKA the +10 Crossbow of Killing Stuff. Iron Bull is also very much the shit, especially with that pack of loonies he leads. Sera is...well when she's not being funny I want to scream at her to go back to her tree and make some damn cookies, to be honest. Like hot sauce, Sera is best in small doses before burnout sets in.
The loot is also pretty awesome, too, and is accompanied by the return of Badass Dress-up. The armor sets aren't quite as extensive as, say, Dragon's Dogma, but it's balanced by having a nice crafting system, plus lot's of customizing for you death-dealing pleasure. You can even tint your swag, so my dudes are tearing about in Luer's Raiders colors for damn once.
Psst, Bioware! Work out a deal and give Butt Stallion a cameo as a DLC mount!

Congratulations, EA
You have achieved a new status today, "The Shin-Ra of Gaming." Forcing me to sit there and do nothing but wait for and installs and updates on a fucking console game (from the damn disc) for two hours is a new one. I avoid PC games because of crap like that, thanks very much. May white-haired bishies with Oedipal Complexes figure BIG in your future.
Still better than Disney, AKA "The Hyperion of Entertainment." I keep waiting for them to buy the moon and go full crazy tyrant on us.
By the way, a Shin-Ra/Hyperion merger would be terrifying and crazy damn awesome.

Space Scurvy
Blarg-a-rant to the spambots that "read" this stuff.
Been tearing about in Borderlands The Pre-Sequel some more. According to their website, legendary drops have been tweaked for this game and for B2, but I'm not seen any real increase in the orange glow. That said, I've only done 1 1/2 playthoughs, and all of it normal difficulty thus far, so I can't expect too much.
That said, the rate I've seen them in vending machines is absolutely epic so far. I've managed to find two Moonlight Sagas, an Oxidizer, a Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, a Nasty Surprise, an Avalanche, and a Logan's Gun (I tragically couldn't afford that last one, *sob*), making for a whopping seven legendaries on Normal (and five of those solo). That's a ridiculous amount compared to my long B2 run with at least six playthroughs, including True and Ultimate VH difficulties. All together, two Bitches, a Quasar (!!!), a Sledge's Shotgun, a Fastball, and...I think that's it actually. Five legendary pieces in regular vending machines. (NOTE, this doesn't include the Torgue machines, which have a guaranteed legendary Torgue item)
While the actual drop rate is still somewhat ambiguous right now, the vendors in PS seem to have been tweaked for the better thus far. I really hope it stays that way.
Tell you what, the vehicles in PS are crap, though. I want my damn Truck-a-pult back!

Why Torgue Should Love Lasers
It's actually very simple. A weaponized laser actually delivers thermal energy to the target, and happens so fast that things explode. While Borderlands PS laser weapons don't do that, so what? They're also used in, y'know, rock concerts.
Fun fact: did you know that the "sandwich" coins (in the US these would be dimes, quarters, and half-dollars) are actually exploded during the initial process. The copper and nickel parts are rolled into sheets, explosive gel applied to each side, and BOOM! This forces the layers together. Then the sheets are cut into round blanks, and minted into coins.
See, even making money can be badass!
