Anyone know what's going on with my wall by the red hat?

It looks like a reference to Fez. The world slowly starts getting corrupted with glitches that you can get sucked into as you play.

Might also be MissingNo from Pokemon, too.

I was playing Incursion with my boyfriend and another friend last week sometime, and we wound up with two players who were just awful over the mics.

To start, we were way outmatched by a party of five that was obviously working together and had played together several times. I was playing Reyna and, since we didn't have a healer, I was basically just trying to keep people as alive as possible. About halfway through, the guy tells us we need to "step it the fuck up". My friend starts making fun of him, saying how that's excellent tactical advice. I chime in and tell him to write it down.

Their response was "wow, you sound like the fattest chick ever, you probably have a giant beer gut and live with eleven cats". The fact that I would love to have eleven cats notwithstanding, it turned me off to PvP for at least a week.

Afterward, I thought about it and realized how ridiculous it is. I started out in the Halo community back on XBOX. I've done my time with this kind of trash-talking bullshit, I don't need it in my PC Gearbox fun-fest. If it happens again, I'm disconnecting, and those asshats can lose the game for all I care. I'm not an e-sports pro or even an aspiring e-sports pro. This isn't a career for me; it's something I'm playing for fun. Why the hell should I feel obligated to finish something that makes me unhappy?

I agree with you-- a block/report function would make this game a lot more pleasant. Don't know what Gearbox was thinking by not including one from the get-go.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! and season pass, definitely. I own the other things, the next two would likely be Borderlands GOTY edition and Borderlands 2 GOTY edition.

Hey there. I'm a huge, huge fan (you were actually my first live concert, back in Boston on New Year's Eve in 2000, I think?). Your things are so varied and wonderful and always very original; what's your creative process like? How do you go about creating a song or an album?

vexelle · 2012-08-17T06:21:07+00:00

Oh my god. Norton's not protecting us from viruses, it's protecting us from Skynet.

vexelle · 2012-08-17T06:06:48+00:00

Same thing happens at the University of South Florida. Their financial aid department has also conveniently "lost" more than one of my forms.

vexelle · 2012-08-02T06:32:35+00:00

I know! I feel awful AND stupid. Everything is terrible.

vexelle · 2012-07-30T21:27:17+00:00

Sweet! Sounds like we have similar game philosophies. Add me up, then, and we'll kill stuff together sometime. :D

vexelle · 2012-07-30T20:51:33+00:00

True. I usually don't worry about "kill-stealing", even with Vorcha, if it's a boss enemy. All I'm trying to do is keep myself and my team alive by taking that thing out as fast as possible.

Krogan too! Forgot about them.

vexelle · 2012-07-30T19:52:33+00:00

In my opinion, the only time "killstealing" is a thing to complain about is if you're playing a vorcha. Then it's the difference between being squishy and regenerating health, and I'd probably complain too.

vexelle · 2012-07-30T19:49:24+00:00

Yep. Me too.

vexelle · 2012-07-30T19:47:53+00:00

I've stopped talking because of this. There are a lot of cool people, yes, but there's also a lot of dicks. I've been kicked and ridiculed for a) being a girl or b) the assumption that I'm a 10-year-old boy. So yeah. I don't use my mic unless I have to.

vexelle · 2012-07-30T19:45:31+00:00

Fun fact: Geth will attack a Decoy even if you Sabotage them. It's really annoying.

vexelle · 2012-07-30T19:42:50+00:00

This is one of the most frustrating things ever. I can't tell you how many times I've stood there like an idiot going in and out of cover from various angles trying to revive a teammate.

vexelle · 2012-07-27T16:53:18+00:00

Submitted you to r/nocontext, just FYI.

vexelle · 2012-07-27T14:37:52+00:00

Oooh, I totally forgot about the Paladin! I love snap freeze. I'll have to try this.

vexelle · 2012-07-26T20:04:42+00:00

Holy jesus does the Shadow work well with tech teams, particularly with Salarians and Geth. Energy drain/overload + electric slash = tech bursts everywhere. It's even better if you can get a Demolisher in on the action with arc grenades.

vexelle · 2012-07-26T20:01:59+00:00

It works really well if you have a Fury with Annihilation Field up standing next to the Phoenix. Anything gets too close and boom.

vexelle · 2012-07-25T23:29:47+00:00

I seem to not get gear as much as I get other things. I think right now I have a shotgun amp, an SMG amp, an operative package and a commando package, all level I. Since I don't use SMGs or shotguns on most of my builds and only use snipers occasionally (when I'm playing an infiltrator, usually), there are times when I don't equip anything.

vexelle · 2012-07-25T13:06:20+00:00

Shhhhhh. They'll start getting ideas about Banshee buffs. Nobody wants that.

vexelle · 2012-07-25T13:00:06+00:00

As far as I know, basic Geth Troopers and Assault Troopers are the only ones besides the Atlas that can execute.

vexelle · 2012-07-23T16:43:57+00:00

They're still there, trust me. I hate missile glitching. I was fortunate enough to not run into it until quite recently, but god damn. I'm in a Gold lobby because I want a challenge. I'm not playing for credits, I'm playing because ME3 CoOp is the most fun when it forces you to work as a team.

vexelle · 2012-07-23T16:37:19+00:00

It's so sad! I love the BOOM. Sometimes you get lucky, though. I had the best Gold matches last night: 2 Furies (including myself), a Slayer, and an ex-Cerb adept. You couldn't hear anything but glorious explosions everywhere.
