Leaked Black Ops II Zombie trailer
CAUTION: may be fake
Where's SeanMCR for this? Isn't he the Call of Duty coverage guy? Unless this is fake, of course, in which case my bad.
To be honest, it's essentially 53 seconds of nothing but hey, content!

What is the Borderlands 2 Season Pass?
Because I am all about answering your questions
From somewhere on the Gearboxity page.
- After the release of the game, four brand new add-on campaigns for Borderlands 2 are coming your way, featuring new areas to explore, new adventures to undertake, new enemies to overcome and more. Priced individually at 800 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360 and $9.99 on PC and PlayStation 3, these four campaign add-ons are scheduled to hit by June 2013 with more details to come in the future as development progresses.
Soon we'll be offering a "Season Pass" bundle that includes all four campaign add-on packs for 2400 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360 and $29.99 on PC and PlayStation Network -- a savings of 25% over buying each campaign add-on individually. The Borderlands 2 Season Pass will be available through Steam, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live and will also be available at GameStop.
What is the Borderlands 2 Premiere Club?
I'm glad you (Graybush specifically) asked
The Borderlands 2 Premiere Club is a pre-order bonus. While there are other pre-order bonuses we are only discussing the Premiere Club.
And now here is your answer stolen directly from the Borderlands 2 FAQ:
- What is the Borderlands 2 Premiere Club? How can I join?
Members of the Borderlands 2 Premiere Club will receive in-game items and bonuses. Access to the Borderlands 2 Premiere Club can be obtained by pre-ordering Borderlands 2 from a participating retailer.
What sort of in-game items and bonuses will Premiere Club members receive?
Premiere Club members will receive the Vault Hunter's Relic which boosts gear-hunting fortune, a Golden Key to unlock a rare item in the mysterious Sanctuary Loot Chest, a package of unique Gearbox Golden Guns to help you start your journey on Pandora, and a free download of the all-new Mechromancer character class as soon as she's available.

To celebrate the Star Trek (the original series) 46th anniversary, Google has created a very cool Doodle. I usually do my best to ignore these little wastes of bandwidth, but Trek is near and dear to my heart. Check it out, it's interactive!
Wonder what they'll do for the 50th..

Borderlands 2 Review-a-Palooza
We did it before! We'll do it again!
When Borderlands launches we gathered all the reviews in the same location. To simplify things again, we'll do the same for Borderlands 2.
Yes, I stole the graphic. From myself! It just seemed easier...
Despite the launch date still over a week away, the reviews have already started to appear:
INCgamers.com – 10/10 – Game of the year so far. I’m just going to say it. No game this year has sucked me in and refused to let go the way Borderlands 2 has.
The Average Gamer – Great – Borderlands 2 is a video game bursting with character as much as it is violent and fun. It takes a little while to get going, but there is a wealth of items and weapons to collect, areas to explore and tons of missions to complete. Hours will pass in what seems the blink of an eye.
Just Push Start – 9.3/10 – The original formula is still present, but a number of improvements and additions make it far more enjoyable.
Kotaku – yes – Borderlands 2 is a charming, funny, hell of a cooperative game with lots of style and personality that you can spend hours with.
FanBolt – 9.5/10 – Better Characters, Better Guns, Better Story - Better Borderlands!
GamesTM – 8/10 – If we spent one hour cursing the cheapness of certain enemy types, we spent another 99 rapt in the joys of daft guns, humour, characters, locations, loot, exploration and experimentation. Pandora is just a great place to be.
Shack News – Gearbox has made a game that is in every way superior to the original, but has some trouble escaping its core weaknesses.
GameSpy – 4.5/5 – The band doesn't just continue playing that groove in Borderlands 2, it embraces its inner Nigel Tufnel and cranks the volume up to 11.
GamerFuzion – 4.6/5 – I love it when a game is challenging and makes you work, Borderlands 2 make you do that and much more as you play through the different levels and quests in the game game.
IGN video review – 9/10 – If you loved the first, or have ever wanted to check out this loot-heavy shooter franchise, then now is definitely the time.
Gameinformer – The issue is out, and so is our Borderlands 2 review. Hint: It's higher than a 9.5 and lower than a 10.
British gaming magazine Gamesmaster (via Fancensus) – 95% – “Bigger. Ballsier. Bullet-ier. Borderlands 2 is the antidote to stuffy military shooters.” summarises the review.
Stayed tuned for more to come...
Via that interweb thingie that Q-Bert keeps talking about.
Ring around a rosie, a pocket full of...
...bullets to the face
While playing Modern Warfare 3 Domination with Coxxorz and Hardwood last Sunday night I had a good moment. I decided to upload it and share with you. So here.
Last chance to play Borderlands!
With the imminent release of Borderlands 2 in less than two weeks, it seems like a good time to wrap up some loose ends.
I was talking with a CURRENT co-worker about this today, who informed me of a video he saw where a highly organized group of 4 players were showing how they routinely go in and clear out all four levels of loot in Knoxx's Armory, and the rare items they find there. Having been forced to replay the level several times due to a bug, I was as surprised to hear about the extra levels as I was the fact that there were rare items. I have rarely seen anything there even worth picking up. Read more

And EA wonders why everyone hates them...
EA warns, ‘releasing new IP this late in console cycle is a mistake’
- In a GI.biz interview, Gibeau stated, "The time to launch an IP is at the front-end of the hardware cycle, and if you look historically the majority of new IPs are introduced within the first 24 months of each cycle of hardware platforms."
I think I understand what he is trying to say I just think someone in EA's PR department should muzzle all the higher up to stop them from making inflammatory statements. Users and gamers already hate EA enough.
