    2 hours until I get to play.

    Seriously though this game eats up time fast. I've gone to bed 2-3 hours late for the past two days thinking it's only 10 but really its midnight all of a sudden.

    Yes please.

    Yeah, that shit has saved my ass more than a couple of times.

    Me and my roommate, playing split screen, got those grenades at like level 15 or something.

    But then again, after a day of playing the game we were WAY overleveled and have yet to find any quests higher than "Normal" difficulty in like 10 hours of gameplay. The game level doesn't scale enough for 2 player split screen.

    Oh, I just now noticed there are controller presets. "Angelic" seems more my style, what with 'B' being melee and left-trigger for grenades.

    Also sprint is a toggle, neat!

    I was showing my mom Medal of Honor Allied Assault when it came out.
    I asked her "Hey, do you think Oma and Opa would hate this stuff?" they were in Holland during the Nazi occupation. Lots of horror stories.
    She said "Nah they'd probably enjoy seeing you kick Nazi ass.
    So I showed my Opa (Dutch/German for grandpa) and he had a riot watching me play, and then gave me cool history lessons on the Germans uniforms and other stuff from the war.

    Now I'm a WW2 buff.

    Transfusion Nade Mod. You get it fairly early, but it does level up. The one I have (it's only equipped for major fights against Badass mobs) does 50 damage and is considered a purple mod.

    It's lonely on my lvl 23 Siren; if anyone wants to play New Haven, add ANDSv2.

    Damnit, 'Angelic' controller preset would be so perfect for me if it wasn't for one nagging thing. Scope is not a toggle and it is kind of a bitch to push in the right thumbstick while aiming. :(

    edit- Oooh, the 'Nuked' preset seems quite promising.
