Hey DBO, whatcha playing? (Gaming)

So hey. Taking advantage of the new categories here (thanks admins! It's cool!)

Been playing the new upgrade pack for Borderlands 2. The Raid on Digistruct Peak is like the core Borderlands experience distilled to its essence. I really enjoy it. If anyone out there wants to play sometime, I'd still really like to do it (don't feel shy because of a low level character - power leveling is fun :P ).

Company of Heroes was introduced to me last weekend. Playing tons of skirmishes so far. Man, I see so much of what Halo Wars did in this game. Sadly for HW, CoH is far superior.

Coolest moment so far was baiting a Panther tank around a building with one of my Wolverines, and then having the second Wolverine sneak up behind it and shoot it in the arse. If you haven't played Company of Heroes, where you actually shoot things matters. They are not just hit point sponges. Calliopes are also boss.

I keep dipping my toes into the first Borderlands, but I just can't seem to get into it (and I've convinced myself I need to finish that game before playing BL2. Maybe I'm wrong. Maybe I need a tour guide.)

Finally playing RDR Undead Nightmare, which I've avoided because I'm not really a zombie kind of guy, but I'm liking it, mainly because you get to spend more time with the great characters. It's always a relief to me though when the sun comes out.

(Here's a question I can't figure out: why do I love the voice acting in RDR but kind of hate it in Borderlands? I don't know.)

I am buying GTA V. I'm not sure why. Maybe because some of what they've said reminds me of what we've heard of Destiny.
