Christopher Walken just made my day better.

Here I am strollin through my social media outlets and I run into a link. It was one of those moments when you think to yourself, “If I click this I’ll get nothing done for the next hour.” I didn’t listen and sure enough I got lost in a little YouTube land called Christopher Walkenthrough. Sure its not really Walken but the guy that does the voice is spot on and is automatically part of our club because of it. God, my ribs hurt from laughing so hard. Here's my favorite one and damnit, then you too, can be Walkenthrough the rest of the day.

GW 2 Mac beta!

This is going to be a short but awesome little tid bit of greatness wrapped in a blue and grey R&R bow. Ready?

For those that are Mac fans I have some news that will make it christmas way before it’s time. Boys and girls, nerds of all ages, I bring you Guild Wars 2 beta for MAC! If you have an active account or bought the game for PC you can download the mac client for free. I have to say it’s about time I can play a different MMO other than WoW on OS X because there's no way I’m playing Ying Ling the Kung Fu Panda! Nor am I drinking the beer that goes with it.

Go get yourself some Guild Wars 2 for Mac at this link right here. Just remember who loves you and gives you christmas presents before your separated parents ever do. Follow us @askRandR on twitter and share us to all your friends. Trust me it’s the gift of a lifetime.

For some it was a Tuesday

Just look how damn excited the room mate is to have Borderlands back in his life. I've managed to pull myself away from Borderlands 2 to take a break and say...Borderlands 2. I wrote this post knowing you'll understand what I mean. For some it was a Tuesday, but for the Refresh and Reload team and anyone who goes to the club meetings...it was Borderlands 2 release day. It's games like these that make me want to quit my day job or at least hibernate in a man-cave for a few months. What I'm trying to say is, let's loot some shit after we get done laying some hate on all unsuspecting villainous Pandora inhabitants. For more reasons why it's not just another Tuesday, follow R&R on twitter @askrandr and can find Lazarus and myself on twitter or google plus. 

Touching gestures in the gaming community

We get in touch with our feelings here today at R&R. There's been a few touching stories in gaming the past week or so involving Paragon Studios and Gearbox. Oddly one gesture came from the players themselves and other a dedication from the developer. If you hadn't heard the story last year, Gearbox (Borderlands 1 & 2) made a eulogy by claptrap for a 22 year old fan who had lost his fight with cancer. They had promised to put Michael john Mamaril in as an NPC last year and during a recent community day they showed what they had done with his character. Here's a small clip from a Destructoid article:
