Numerion's Rants

I did not expect much. I was hyped about the first borderlands. Loved it for the most part, but had some problems with it. Second one...was good. Better I guess. It pushed hard into the territory of "casual game with jokes in it" and I didn't mind that much. But I no longer cared for the story or the quests in any way.

I didn't win, in fact I was third out of four, but the simple fact that I had one of the surviving species (and that any new species just died right away) was amazing. For improvements into future, I think we'll be pulling new climate events each turn, revealing them right before the vote gets evaluated. Because as it is, if the climate event is on ice age, you are just never triggering it. But if it rolls each time.... I think it will be an improvement and a massive change of pac...

No promises how active I'll be here or how the quality of content will be.  The reasons for this is that I need a place to vent about various games, books and other content and other platforms don't really give me much options to.
