    “I pulled some strings, and I got The List. In fact, I’ve got it right here with me now.”

    “Hey, would you look at that – Kamala Harris, right at the top, just as I suspected… Joe Biden, yep, that tracks… Wow, ALL of the Clintons, how about that? And not surprisingly, Donald J. Trump is definitely nowhere to be found on the Epstein List. Welp, there ya have it everybody.”


  • This is a great summary of the game, I just wanted to add on that you don’t necessarily have to start a new character for expeditions. They added the “Expedition Terminus” in the Space Anomaly a few updates back, which lets you start the expedition from an existing save.

    That said, I always start a new character, because those first couple hours where I’m trying to get on my feet are always the most challenging for me, and that keeps the game fresh by pushing me outside my usual style of engaging with the game.

















  • This was my first thought back when they announced the film. I love the Borderlands games, but they’re like 90% proc-gen guns and bullet-sponge enemies, and 10% narrative. Without a dramatically punched up story, this movie was doomed from the start to be a hammy Hollywood version of a “Let’s Play” video.

    Essentially.

    The longer version is David Eddings was the Vice President of Business Development at Gearbox, and voiced Claptrap in Borderlands and Borderlands 2, for either very little or no extra pay. He left Gearbox, and CEO Randy Pitchford said some things about Eddings in an interview which led to a back-and-forth Twitter argument, allegations of assault and fraud against Pitchford, and a lawsuit. It was all big news while it happened but I can’t find much info now about where it landed, except that Gearbox found somebody else to voice Claptrap after that.

    I was kinda hoping they’d work things out and get him for the movie, but, alas…
