Well, those parties are fine, but the parties around here are the ones where you get insanely drunk and high, and then end up half naked the next morning with a penis drawn on your forehead. That kind of party. I guess I should have specified.
Edit: Modified previous post to better specify the party I was talking about!

PP: Those stupid drunk ass, pot smoking parties. Nothing good comes out of them, that's why I don't attend them. PP: Seeing my friend go to said parties with her sleezbag boyfriend, doing narcotics, getting shit faced, and now she's recently taken up smoking. PP: I partially blame myself for what she has gotten herself into, had I known she would end up with a guy like him beforehand I could have saved her. Before she met him, she had a thing for me, she wanted me as her boyfriend, but I refused, as I had no interest in being in a relationship at the time. If she does end up leaving him, which is a likely chance, I don't think I would want to a sex addicted, drug using, smoking emo chick if she decided to come crawling back to me.

Ah yes, I suppose it does have a Comic-ish look to it. Not reading any comics at all lead me with the only thing to compare the games art style to was Crackdown. But my opinion still stands, not a fan of the art style, would have much preferred the realistic look they were originally going for then the Comic Book Style. But as I said, if it gets good reviews, I shall give it a rent, and if I like it, well, I shall buy it, and if it truly does have over "87 Bazillion Guns" then that will increase the chances of me buying the game strongly. Also, I heard from a friend that the game is very strongly based off of Mad Max, is that true? I have never seen the movies.

They do bare some similarity though, I'm not saying the look exactly alike, all I'm saying is that it sort of reminds me of crackdown. Not in terms of Caricatures, just in terms of the bright colors, and cel shading, that's all.

Oh, I beg to differ.  Borderlands.  Crackdown. Only real difference is that Borderlands graphics are, of course, better since Crackdown is an older game. EDIT: The Borderlands Screenshot I grabbed was an older one, when the style wasn't cartoony. I think they look similar anyways. Just in terms of the way the art is done and such, like, they both have that realistic/cartoony look to them, like, Crackdown looks detailed and realistic and such, but has the cel shading, and bright colors to make it look cartoony. Anyways, all I'm Trying to say is that Borderlands has that Been-Done-Before look to the art style, and that it looks like it might turn out to be a flop, if it turns out to be good, then I might give it a try. To throw my positive thinking out there, I do like the sounds of the weapon customization and such, like how you can make over 500+ different weapons or something like that.

Thats because Psychonauts' art style was crazy and unique, and completely different from Borderlands.  To add to that, they're two completely different games made by completely different companies, the art style of this is easily comparable to, lets say, CrackDown, not unique in any way, I liked it the style in CrackDown, but they could have come up with something a bit more crazy and original for Borderlands, the art style is pretty much just brightly colored graphics, and cel shading and such. I mean, look at the case for crackdown:  And tell me the style isn't very similar.

I played the demo, and LOVED it. I loved Psychonauts and cannot wait for this one. Also, you forgot to mention that the game world is based off Norse Mythology, except more Metal.

I dunno, I'm kinda questioning whether or not to get it, I liked the realistic style they were originally going with, now it's that stupid cartoony look, and to add to that, you don't get to make a character, you just pick from one of four characters I believe.

I need to buy the comics, I saw that they now have a hardcover omnibus of all the Halo Landfall Comics, and then I would need to buy the Helljumper Comics.
