With Bill spending a few days getting back to nature, it’s the Brandon and Todd show once more and we spend it talking about the things of largest concern to gamers everywhere: The Tigers in the World Series and my nightmares of demonic possession. There’s some game talk thrown in for good flavor, I guess. Brandon goes back to Borderlands 2 and it’s initial go-round of DLC: Captain Scarlett’s Pirate Booty. I get in deeper with XCOM, including an ill-fated experiment with the game’s Classic difficulty. We also talk a bit about game modding and DLC in general. (I was wrong, by the way, that the modding scene hasn’t broken out yet for XCOM. There’s already some interesting options out in the field. You can find and read all about them at XCOM Nexus.)

Not sure if you know this or not, Todd, but in XCOM you can zoom out by using the ‘G’ key, and zoom back in with the ‘T’ key (I think). Much easier than using the middle mouse button.
Agree that multi-story buildings and saucers are a real pain. Might be easier to navigate with a controller, but I haven’t tried that yet.
