Great breakdown of gun manufacturers, by the way.

I'm a huge, huge fan of Vladof and Hyperion guns personally. While I personally don't care for Torgue guns (that bullet speed is loving atrocious), Mr. Torgue himself knows how to party.

You're a huge fan of ugly garbage!!! You can't even throw it into people's faces when ur done with it, what's the point ???!!!!

The classes I play are:

BL1 - Soldier
BL2 - Siren / Psycho
BLTPS - Gladiator / Doppelganger

Worth noting kaubocks + me character synergies:

BLTPS: me as Lawbringer to kaubocks' Gladiator. Crazy high dps standing squarely behind athena's shield so I ain't drop dead.
Also tps: I go Baroness to kaubocks' Doppelg�nger. We do the coop player contract which gives us both bonuses based on kills, so when his doubles make kills it skyrockets our bonuses.
BL2: Max anarchy Mechromancer to his Psycho. Psycho is actually the only class that takes friendly fire damage and Gaige is the only character who does better by not aiming, so this creates an interesting effect where I shoot the ground and ten miles away Kaubocks drops dead.

Okay here's my rundown:

* Jack doesn't care about anybody's life except his own/Rhys' (bc it is also his own)
* I dont want this rear end in a top hat driving our body like a lovely car
* Fiona is smart and pretty and nice and I like her hair

Trust Fiona

Eh? I honestly don't remember him doing anything at all one way or another, programming-wise.

I'm trying to remember the exact circumstance but there's at least two or three times in pre-sequel where he's like "I'll code us out of this!!" or "don't worry I can hack it!!" and then he makes everything lovely and worse. Kaubocks remind me what frickin quests i'm thinking of, cause I remember laughing at it for like a hour

ALSO Kaubocks for SHAME I cannot believe u play one million hours of pre-sequel with me and then try to play off like Athena would totally be cool with Jack. I SEE THROUGH UR NARRATIVELY CONVENIENT LIES FOR THE SAKE OF PRESENTATION.

Tell Jack we trust him, but I reserve the right to not trust him later. Placate him!!!

Scooter has a BL2 quest to retrieve porno mags for him. Nothing about him is pure.

Okay so Kaubocks and I were actually discussing this the other day, like a third of the quests in BL2 have an optional objective of finding porno mags. Everyone in Pandora wants loving porno mags constantly. It doesn't matter what you're actually doing for a quest but you gotta keep an eye out for them titty mags

The eye thing is not weird, but Athena is weird and shouldn't lie to her girlfriend even if I hate her girlfriend.

Funiculars are good and best used for transporting moon zoomies indoors

Gortys is cute and i love it so please dont kill a man in front of the robot, though maybe consider killing the man later

It can't be explained without spoiling just about every plot, but literally she does nothing but cause constant problems. Problems of the caliber that usually cause the main conflict in the stories.

To quote Kaubocks when we were discussing Gaige using a CC (paraphrased)

"Panzer got one. There were pellets flying everywhere. It was disgusting."

Go Anarchy Gaige.

He get real mad every time I get one cause he doesn't get to kill anything until I out level it. Anarchy Gaige is so so good

There's a Borderlands film that's been announced. I like the aesthetic of the series but still...

http://www.slashfilm.com/borderlands-movie/

"It�s based on the RPG/first-person shooter combo game that follows a group of stranded colonists on an alien planet that has been left for dead, and is slowly moving closer to the sun, sparking the rise of horrifying creatures to wreak havoc on those left behind."

?????????????

Is this the plot to the borderlands games?????

As someone who didn't play BL2 but did play Lilith all through BL1, why does no one like her any more?

Quotin me and kaubocks from a long while back ago in this thread when it came up before

Kaubocks posted:

chronological reasons why Lilith is loving terrible:

- in borderlands the pre sequel she has a perfect opportunity to KILL HANDSOME JACK but DOESN'T, instead just tries to be cool and blows up his vault prize literally in his face. this is the catalyst that pushes him over to "we're going set Pandora on fire" territory.
- in borderlands 2, angel basically says "everyone come to the bunker EXCEPT YOU, LILITH". as long as Lilith DOES NOT SHOW UP, the vault hunters gain a huge advantage over Jack. the vault hunters go to the bunker and kill the siren he was keeping to charge the vault key to access the Warrior, but since Lilith refuses to play it cool she shows up and he captures her, allowing him to continue his plans.
- in tales from the borderlands, she has officially interfered by wanting to interrogate Athena. she has taken Athena away from our group and given Vallory power over us.
- at the end of the pre sequel, Lilith has heard enough of Athena's story and blames everything (Jack rising to power and several of her friends dying) on Athena even though it's literally all her own loving fault. the only reason Athena is not killed by firing squad is because an alien steps in and intervenes.

gently caress Lilith

I always keep the eye. I figure when Rhys goes on to success, he'd enjoy uploading Jack to a terminal with no network access and gloating, then imprisoning him again for a while.

I really, really can't see Rhys ever being this evil, but I've really gotta hand it to the incredible writing for giving him the potential of being this evil. This is a Good Game.
