Remember how all the cool kids were always late to class. This episode of The Hud is like the internet podcast world’s late kid, sauntering in with his badass leather jacket and big aviator sunglasses, reeking of cigarette smoke, putting his feet up on the desk because he doesn’t care about your rules, MAN.

EPISODE 24

Sorry about the dead air for a few weeks, we all have a variety of excuses that I’m sure are very interesting. I’m just happy it’s not my fault for once.

This episode, Martin and Patrick review Borderlands while Gordon and Jason cover Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2. We all manage to talk a lot about the games without really reviewing them. But we do attach scores to them, so that makes them reviews. I think. It’s a fun time. We also play a new contest clip for you all (only two to go before the big giveaway!) and announce last episode’s winner.

Jason’s Score: 6.5
Gordon’s Score: 7.0

Pros: Play as a ton of Marvel characters with your friends
Cons: Frustrating character selection limitations, chaotic and confusing to play

Borderlands (PS3/X360)
Patrick’s Score: 9.5
Martin’s Score: 9.5

Pros: Fun FPS gameplay, addictive RPG elements, killer co-op play
