This week Will from Chaos is Gaming and I play some Borderlands 2, blowing through baddies and bickering about everything under the sun. Click through to see the video or watch it here on YouTube. If you enjoy it, give it a like and be sure to share it with your friends.

I’ve decided to group some stories from this past week into a wrap up article that we’re calling Week Reflection, including Facebook’s acquisition of the Oculus Rift, Guild Wars 2 announcing major system changes, and EverQuest Next Landmark going to closed beta.
