'New person playing borderlands' digression again: Playing the pre-sequel (Playing as Nisha, considering starting over as Aurelia because sniping is SO GOOD on the moon and when you're not desperately trying to keep pace with the living buzzsaw that is Krieg) I've gotten a bit into the story and I had a realization. This is it. This is, in one image, the summary of The Handsome Jack Story. x

This episode made me laugh the hardest out all four. Because of THE THING that happens at THE PLACE to THE PERSON. EDIT: If you choose to send Rhys and company to old Haven first, you meet Janey then and she has a different title card. Klaus88 fucked around with this message at 03:18 on Mar 3, 2016 |

Wait, didn't she already have a title card when Fiona and Sasha met her before? When they evaded Athena into the garage, and then made Athena play nice in front of Janey while they stole her shield from the garbage? EDIT: Or did someone post the alternate path and I'm getting everything confused because I've seen both. Felinoid fucked around with this message at 03:41 on Mar 3, 2016 |

I worded that poorly, Fiona and Sasha meet up with Janey in the garage instead of Rhys and crew yelling at scooter when you're about to leave the underground city.

That is in fact the alternate scene being referenced in that post and someone did in fact post it. Also I think I posted about Janey's VA before, but this is her official introduction I guess so I'll just make sure of it. Janey is voiced by Catherine Moore and Janey is her only role of note.

Go with Onyx Overlord and High Flying Hyperion. Hats are very important, but maybe not potentially-blow-your-cover-during-a-cool-heist important. Face pizza is definitely grosser than scooping someone's eye out with a spork.

Onyx Overlord, and I'd say Phlaming Phoenix but it's tragically hatless. Speaking of hats, is Fiona going to keep the Steampunk Princess one through the rest of the game (barring a later change in costume)? Because it lines up perfectly with the one she's wearing in the 'present' and the dev team seem to pay insane attention to detail if the whole thing with Rhys' shoe is any indication.

Time to llllllllllllllock the votes! Let's see what outfits you guys wanted to buy: Standard Issue Uni-form - 1 Onyx Overlord - 30 High Flying Hyperion - 5 Phlaming Phoenix - 1  That wasn't even remotely close! On top of that, 24 of those votes included the stipulation that that was the only outfit they wanted to buy. With nearly everyone only wanting one suit and Onyx Overlord being so far ahead of the rest, that is the only thing we'll be buying today. I wonder how much this would have changed if the High Flying Hyperion had a hat. Now let's take a quick look at the for-funsies vote: Face peeling is grosser - 8 Eye scooping is grosser - 16 Well, there you have it, folks. Eyeballs are 100% more gross than faces. I'm looking forward to seeing you all again when we finally blast off into space and head towards Helios!

It's time for blast-off in the latest video! You know the drill. New video,  NEW VOTE!Time to weigh the pros and cons of pooping out a Dahl satellite on Hyperion's front door. Should we take the time to honor Scooter? Or do you think it's too risky and we should stick with the plan? I already know what the result will be, but if you are choosing to launch the satellite, please vote on one of the following to be his epitaph: - "See you, Space Cowboy..." - "Hero, friend, and hero." - "Best. Mechanic. Ever." - "Catch a Ride!" Gonna extend voting periods a bit from here on out. Voting ends Saturday at 6PM EST. Kaubocks fucked around with this message at 01:00 on Mar 9, 2016 |

This is my favorite title card of the game. But are your graphic options weird? It looks way darker than on other versions like this one. you can barely see Fionas ultra pissed off face and Scooters tiny one. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMhuQ4GRzZc Don't launch that satelite. Imagine if a guy with an echo eye would see it. That would be a scan Dahl. cant cook creole bream fucked around with this message at 19:25 on Mar 8, 2016 |

Yo I only now noticed the leggings that come with Sasha's chosen outfit and I'm doubly glad we picked that. As for Scooter, Pandora has lost one of its last honest-to-goodness good folk, and society upon it is all the poorer for it. But goddamn this is probably the best way he could've gone, considering he lived and did business on a place like Pandora; most other folks meet their maker in much worse and more embarrassing ways. As such, we must immortalize him: CATCH-A-RIIIIIDE

Mad Moxxie is gonna be pissed when she finds out we got her son killed. We had better stay out of her way for a long time or we'll be dodging vault hunters. Moreso then we're already dodging them, anyway. Also, CATCH A RIDE and anyone who doesn't vote for it is a heartless monster, even by Pandora's low standards.

Catch a ride, always and forever. I had a love/hate relationship with Scooter. He was funny, but he could really wear out his welcome sometimes. Still, he goes out like a badass here. Janey's got some big shoes to fill in Borderlands 3.

I'm not a walking BL encyclopaedia, but I did not see that coming./edit: Man, I had forgotten how utterly amazing that title card is, and it's even better with the Scooter Special.  This is also the moment where the game for me went from "pretty good" to incredible. It's a solid ride up until mid-ep 3, but from then on it just keeps getting better, and I can't wait to see the thread's reactions so some of the stuff coming up.

Mad Moxxi is the mother of Scooter and Ellie, and has been married to several people such as Marcus and (I believe) Steve, as well as previously dating Handsome Jack and Mordecai. Not necessarily at the same time, mind you. She gets around. Kaubocks fucked around with this message at 22:00 on Mar 8, 2016 |

When I first played TFtBL this part absolutely ruined me, but on playing Borderlands 2 I realized Scooter would have wanted absolutely nothing more than to go out riding an exploding rocket, after helping out a pretty lady. Especially since this might the first lady he liked who didn't, y'know, join a colony of cannibal rat people. Or shoot herself in the head. Scooter rules and Pandora lost one of its few (relatively) good people. You gotta honour him, man. You just gotta. CATCH A RIIIIIIIIDE

Never not Catch A Ride. Also I like how comfortable Scooter is with his own imminent death especially when you consider that he's probably seen people die way worse.
