  1. Heh, I wish, but probably not.  I live in Texas and my gf and I saved up for a few months to take a vacation in Portland.  We were there the week before the Expo.  We might make it up there again some year, but not any time soon.  As far as Expos or gaming conventions or whatever, I'll probably be hitting Retropalooza in Arlington, Tx again this year.  It's relatively close and I don't have to save up and take a vacation to go.  😃

  2. Heh... long time after the fact, but I was there, too!  I probably passed right by some of you and had no idea...  here's some of the pics I took.  (I was only there Saturday.)  I took a ton of pics, but figured I'd just post a few here... lol

  3. I always have trouble coming up with something when someone asks "What's your favorite/least favorite..." anything.  There's lots of things I like, but I just never can put one thing at the top.  I'd have trouble coming up with a decent list even.

    Also, my girlfriend really likes the art style in the Borderlands games, too.  When I was playing them, she'd like watching it and seeing the scenery.  (I mean, she would be doing something else while watching, because there'd be a lot of repetition, but still, she really liked how it looked.)

  4. Okay, I think I've got the third boss figured out now... 

    Get around underneath... grabbing the red powerup...  get around to the front of the boss and get your pod in back (shooting backwards)...  use it to take out all the random cannons on top.   The eye part of the ship moves in and out.  It moves out and shoots bubbles, then moves in and exposes the weak point.  Stay above it and a little forward to shoot the bubbles as they come out behind you.  When it stops and goes back in, move into the small area and shoot... then fly out and shoot the bubbles again...   There's one time when it goes really close to the left side of the screen and I don't trust myself to be able to fit in the gap, so I wait until the next go around.  Seems to take shooting the eye like that, with turbos on, twice to kill it.

    Was just playing for about an hour and this seems to be working for me at least.  It worked the last couple of times at least.
