Borderlands, The Holidays And You

Playing Borderlands during our busy holidays is as challenging as shooting Lance Infantry and Defender soldiers in Old Haven during multi-player mode.

For us gamers who love “everything Borderlands,” the holiday break is a tantalizing time to visit Pandora because of our respite from work and/or school.  But we've got those pesky holiday obligations:

 --stacks of gifts to buy and wrap
 --holiday parties your friends are throwing on any given night
 --countless hours of Christmas and holiday movies with family and relatives to watch
 --faking gratitude when you receive useless gifts like an ugly sweater that doesn't fit anyway

So, when to play? My advice to you burgeoning hunters and soldiers, is to power up the console or computer WHEN ALL IS SILENT (W.A.L.L.S.).

While your loved ones sleep, you loot and sow carnage. Much like Roland’s Scorpio Turret, your W.A.L.L.S. will be translucent and sparkly because of the illumination of joy during this moment of magic.  You will glow like Leroy from The Last Dragon.

Nobody can hear you laugh and giggle as you form your online team of Liliths. The freedom is tangible, as the gamer gods open up that purty blue sky for you to ascend, to that blissful, sandy place called Pandora (insert image of fuzzy transmittal beam moment here).

Take this moment gamers and press on to the next level, finish out the missions in the Rust Commons, or play with your newly acquainted online friends.  So the next time you have W.A.L.L.S around you, go ahead and turn on your console and get some!
