Nice to see the hitboxes got updated. Some of them were pretty far off from the screenshots I've seen.

As for the Borderlands DLC, I'll probably pick it up since I think I can get $10 worth of playtime out of it.


Edit:

Wow, disregard the comment about the DLC:

SecuROM™
5 machine activation limit

Is there some kind of cash prize for the company that pisses off the PC gaming community the most? If so, IW had better watch out since Gearbox seems to be gunning for it.

If you're reading Randy...WHY WHY WHY!

There is no Tales of Monkey Island discount, you get The Secret of Monkey Island Special Edition for free. Which seems kind of useless to me, because people are far more likely to have sprung for Monkey 1 than the telltale series.

edit: That is to say, if you're a Monkey Island fan, you own the Special Edition over the Telltale games.
