Lately, Borderlands 2 has pretty much dominated all of our free time here at 8BP, crippling both our social and professional lives. However, because we love you listeners oh so very much, we managed to pry ourselves out of Pandora (some of us kicking and screaming) to record another brilliant, yet morally inappropriate episode. Tune in this week to hear:
The Borderlands 1 character quote game where one listener wins some loot.
Handsome Joe’s love/hatehatehate relationship with Amazon.com.
A (mostly) spoiler-free, in-depth discussion regarding what’s new, what’s old, what’s awesome, and what sucks about Borderlands 2.
A listener FAP session regarding the future of the Borderlands franchise.
An ethically ambiguous and legally questionable Fuck, Marry, Kill.
An inevitable imitation bacon tirade.
If you happen to be the lucky listener who wins this episode’s prize, make sure to contact us via Facebook or Twitter to claim your loot!
So whether you’re a level capped Gunzerker, or a complete Borderlands n00b, hit up this episode for all your vault hunting needs. Trust us, this episode’s got a gut ‘fulla dynamite and a booty like POW!
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
Multiple future Gearbox Software projects, including Borderlands 4 and Tiny Tina's Wonderlands 2 have been spotted.
Hopefully, they fired the entire writing team after B3 cause that dialogue was truly atrocious.
doubtful... this is gearbox we're talking about.. Randy thinks everything the studio does is gold because he has a bad concept of reality
FFS make something else. If you can't make anything new, at least bring back Brothers In Arms or something.
I know it will never happen (for obvious story reasons that's happened) but I wish we could play the original Vault hunters again with new abilities you could choose to develop in a skill branch. Never really felt I could get behind most of them after the first game, especially move wise. Lilith's phase walk will always be the best to me.
Speaking of Lilith, I'm kind of wondering how they'll get around the whole Siren thing since they wrote themselves into a corner saying there's "only 6 Sirens in the entire universe" and now thanks to Borderlines 3 they apparently pass on their abilities meaning once we see each of 6 powers available that's it, no new brand new ones. I don't know why they don't just say there's more than 6 since all of them in the ENTIRE Universe just conveniently coming to Pandora is a bit strange.
That's super easy to get around. Each person that has the skill could have their own personal spin on it. There could be a new power that morphs them into something else. One of the weapon manufacturers could experiment on 5 of the Sirens and the 6th would have to fight a horde of siren powered bad guys to rescue the others. Fiction has been there and done that with power more complex or simple thousands of times before.
As for revisting the first game? That would be totally unlike the gaming industry to reboot a series...
This sounds awesome. This afternoon, Genvid Entertainment announced two, all-new interactive streaming series at San Diego-Comic Con: DC Heroes United and Borderlands EchoVision Live.
