Staying up late!

I don’t think you have any idea just how late you’ll be staying up. Always play with a clock next to you, otherwise it’s the next morning before you know it. Oh, Borderlands.

I like how the Destructoid review fails to mention the annoyance that is Claptrap (he has basically 1 single line when he is idle “check me out, I’m dancing! I’m dancing!”) and that the driving and the physics in this game are like a bad joke. If you review games for a, uh, living, these aren’t issues you can and should overlook imho.
