As an act of rebellion to avoid playing another game, i decided to spent 3 full days getting all the achievements in BL2 for the first time, as redemption to my younger self who put almost every game aside to play nothing but multiplayer shooters for 4-5 years. I do remember this one being the most fun to play, aside from BL1 which is my fav all around being introduced to it in 2011. Gunplay and build crafting is simple and enjoyable i played Axton for the first time so i went with a turret/kill skill build that made my normal playthrough trivial. Now, not having played this game in quite a few years i had forgotten the majority of the dialogue or jokes written and it has to be just the over-saturation of the style of writing, but after the halfway point and for all the DLCs i was tuning that out. I dont know if BL2 is seen as the perfect middle ground of snappy and good writing compared to the other ones (especially BL3) but i was generally bored when it came to having to pay attention to the story, and almost any wit gave me an excuse to eye roll especially with the dated humour, but those got a pity laugh for them even adding it in the first place (they had a Do it for the Vine Badass Challenge name and its there forever). And of course the massive positive i can give the game is the grind it gives you for gear, i didn't do too much of that during my playthrough but if i get bored and return i know for sure i can go hours killing the same boss for a specific thing. All in all BL2 still holds up as an amazing looter shooter with those fundamentals honed in, while i feel like i moved away from its style of writing, i know some people that will quote this and other BL games for hours and die laughing in the process.

This was one of the few games I got to play on the family Mac and i remember being creeped out by it to where I stopped playing it all together. Now 15 years later after randomly remembering it, I decided to give the game another look and it had to be age cause this "game" is really underwhelming, especially something with the King of Horror's name attached to it. Its basically a demo disc with a few minigames, screensavers and the entirety of Stephen King's Everythings Eventual, it even comes with a "spooky" soundboard of stock sound effects. Whats really bizarre about this is that its made by Presto Studios, known for the acclaimed Journeyman series, during the tailend of their run before being shut down in 2002. I also expected there to be a lot more to the game but it really is just a 30 min venture if you leave out the novella, and with the quality and lack of real connection to Stephen King, this game is really dissapointing
