Mechromancer Pack: Borderlands 2 DLC - Game Review

Today the Mechromancer pack for Borderlands 2 was released.

Fortunately (and because of the bonuses), I got Borderlands 2 on pre-order, so I got it for free.

I have to say that I was a bit bored after a few hours playing as the siren. The power is simply too lame before upgrades - you freeze a single enemy for a few seconds. That is it.

Now, the Mechromancer Deathtrap robot is just devastating. I'm not sure if they did it on purpose, to sell the DLC, but it can take several enemies by itself, using a combination of melee and ranged electrical attacks.

The whole game seems a lot easier. And some of the skills seem to reflect that - some of the first options on the left skill screen (Best Friends Forever) include health recharge on full gun magazine and bullets reflecting on walls having a chance to hit an enemy (with reduced damage).

Overall, a great addition to the game, and I recommend using it.

BTW, if after you get to level 5 you could start new characters at level 5 (and thus with the distinctive class skill) that would be great... Redoing the lame grinder missions from the start again was a bit annoying.

[Fixed] Just Cause 3 Mouse offset

I've sort of "fixed" my mouse offset problems and cursor exits from Just Cause 3. For whatever reason, both seem to happen sometime, specially if I need to change focus from the game. Sometimes just going to another app and returning solves it, otherwise if I go to Options, Graphics, and turn full screen back on (or turn it off and on again), it seems to get fixed. However, still annoying.

Solved - You have an incorrect version of driver "vmx86.sys" - VMWare Workstation 8

I have just installed VMWare Workstation 8 over my old VMWare Workstation 6.5 on Windows 7. On my first run I already got the error message: Could not get vmx86 driver version: The handle is invalid. You have an incorrect version of driver "vmx86.sys". Try reinstalling VMware Workstation. Failed to initialize monitor device. Obviously, I was concerned, but there is a simple way to solve it - just right-click the VMWare Workstation icon and use Run as Administrator. This is a bit annoying, but at least it is easy to solve. Update: I forgot to mention it, but as Dave said on the comments, you can right-click on the program shortcut, choose Properties, Compatibility tab and check Run as Administrator so that it will always run properly. Thanks, Dave!

Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is shaping our Future - Book Review

Elon Musk: How the Billionaire CEO of SpaceX and Tesla is shaping our Future - by Ashlee Vance - is a very entertaining biography about Elon Musk (which as the title says, is the biggest drive behind SpaceX and Tesla, and is also involved in SolarCity - all companies with possible huge effects in the world).  The story half reads as a bigger-than-life fictional account of what a genius industrialist goes through to save the world from pollution (with Tesla and SolarCity) and to get us into space. The fact that it all happened makes it even more interesting. It also made me really want to get a Tesla. Well, kind of... The triumphs really do, but the listings of problems don't (irrelevant either way as they are not available here)... Less revisions and "free" gas would be great, though. I'd also love to get cheap solar from SolarCity! Overall, very entertaining, and pretty much recommended for anyone interested in any of the companies.
