You’re the best! Thanks! Sitting down now to start Zer0. I’ve got two hours before work. This is the first game in a while that has tempted me to call in sick to work. I’m an adult. I shouldn’t be thinking about calling in sick to work for a game.

Welcome to the forums. Your one stop shop for info and commiseration of the Pandoran variety.

I’m going to second the Cunning build @Jefe suggested, because it’s the build I started with except that I skipped Counter Strike and put 4 points in Unforeseen. And many better versed than myself maintain that a solid Cunning tree lies beneath every Zer0 build. No matter how you kill it, stab or shoot, you’re going to enjoy making it dead.

Welcome to the dark side, we have Legendaries. :grin:

I didn’t play this game all that much from launch until 2015, at that point most new games didn’t interest me, so I ended up sticking with this the whole time. Glad you’re enjoying it, I actually think BL2 is one of the best games of the past ten years.

Thanks!

And I can’t figure out if your name is “Paul OT Head” or “Paulo the Ad” or “Paulo Thead” or “Paulo T Head”.

A great many of us are in our 30’s and 40’s and 50’s - you’ll be in good company if you decide to do so.

I’ve found that below OP levels, 2 is plenty. But depends how you use it.

You’ll never know…:stuck_out_tongue:

Guess I’ll just pick my favorite, until he clears it up. I’m leaning towards “Paul OT Head” or “Paulo T Head”, because “OT” or “T Head” are great shorter nicknames.

A yeti by any other name would still be a snowman most abominable. :wink:

Not that it matters, but I always imagined it as Paul O’Thead (not my real name, I’m in Gamer Protection). Paulo is how I hear it most often.

This is very likely true, but before I was looking at the testing we’ve all done I just liked the idea of an explodey shock decoy better, and I never thought my reflexes are/would be good enough to take advantage of the Counter Strike bonus.

Thank you for clearing that up. You don’t now how much that would have bothered me for the rest of the day, like that song that you can’t remember the name of, and it sits on the tip of your tongue, simmering with a low irritation level.

Any time. Always here to derail a thread by inserting the most nonsensical non sequitur possible. BTW, have you seen the “What did you do…” threads? They’re my favorite reading material. And how about that weather?. :wink:

Also, janderson (who was before my time but I know enough of his stuff to have the utmost respect) did a skill and leveling guide :

Unfortunately, the forum changed its format and messed up a lot of once beautifully formatted work - it’s a bit hard to read now.

Note - Unforseen pre 2015 patch was terrible which is why the guide says as much. It works as advertised now.

Whoa! It’s you! You’re like my sensei, man!

Your guide was the perfect intro for me, having just really dove into the game. The way you linked to builds at different levels and explained why - it was great. Thanks a million!

To be honest I always kind of assumed it was Paulo T. Head. Which thinking about it makes very little sense :rofl: I like my name because it has an equal number of consonants and vowels!

Your choise of name still confuses me.

It’s just the default username the forum gave me based on my email. It’s an old email I thought was clever in high school. The thought process went something like this:
If there was a guy named “Paul O’Thead”, and he signed his name with only his first initial it would read “P. O’Thead”, and wouldn’t signing official documents as “pothead” be pretty silly?" Basically, I was just trying to think of a way to identify myself as such without explicitly saying it. It’s pure laziness that lets it live on. On a side note, this was way more talk about it than I had ever expected, and now I am wondering about everyone else’s tags. :thinking:
