In the evenings after the kids go to bed, my husband and I have countless options for entertaining ourselves for a couple of hours before hitting the hay. Sometimes we play a game, watch a show, catch up on YouTube, or I stare blankly at the pile of dishes and food prep that needs to be done for the following day while the hubby practices trumpet (he cooks dinner, it’s only fair).
We used to play World of Warcraft
We didn’t really play any other computer games together after that. Sure, there were some one-offs: Portal, Half Life, and we enjoyed playing the Diablo series together. But, there was nothing we continually played with the same enthusiasm as WOW back in the day.
Enter Borderlands 2
…until my husband suggested we play the game.
“Honey, it’s a cooperative first-person-shooter. I won’t kill you every five seconds. We would work together to complete the story. Doesn’t that sound fun? And look, there is a DLC where a crazy teenage girl who likes blowing stuff up runs a D&D campaign for her friends in the style of the game. Wouldn’t that be awesome?”
“…you lost me at FPS and got me back at D&D. I’ll give it a try.”
“You’ll love it.”
“Yes, dear.”
He was right. I do like it quite a lot. We have been happily blowing the faces off the bad guys for several months. For our anniversary, hubby gave me the Mechromancer
Playing Borderlands 2 has become our de-stress date time. It’s awesome. On the weekends, hubby will make us drinks and we will sit back and shoot away. So now, we invite you to join us as we travel through the basic story line of Borderlands 2. I will be playing my Mechromancer “Killer Kaylee” while my hubby plays the Gunzerker “El Mariachi.” We hope you enjoy.
