Any fans around here? I know there's some stereotypes about FPS and girl gamers (either they don't play them, or they can't play them), but I love me some shooters. And Borderlands is about as juvenile in the humor department as you can find, but by God it makes me laugh! I've gotten more hours of entertainment out of these two games, plus their DLCs, than any other game ever, aside from possibly Skyrim. If you've never given them a try, I highly recommend giving them a go for an hour or two - even if you don't like it at first (I didn't), the games totally grow on you and things get much more pleasant once your character has some levels under their belt. The games are even better with a friend. Love playing with my husband, even if he is a kill stealing little rat with a sniper rifle. Anyway, as a fan I pretty much freaked out from joy after I stumbled across this today (and after I verified that it wasn't some evil late April Fools gag... I HATE April Fools!). youtu.be/smFJaRWwvRsAlso, this is like the best thing ever (super violent, if that bothers anyone). I love Krieg. <3 Wish they'd make mini stories like this for all the characters. youtu.be/6chxuovrbCI

Aeryn!
Have you ever watched "Hey Ash, whatcha playin"? One of the writers for that show got so popular he was a writer for BL2. I've played borderlands! It's super fun. I love me a good shooter, but it has been a while. I really enjoyed Halo 3, Turok (back in the N64 period), Goldeneye (again N64), Perfect Dark (N64...Oh my goddd).

GOLDENEYE! Hah, oh the memories! I think that was when I started to like shooters, though I have vague memories of Duke Nukem 3D and Rise of the Triad. Recently, it's all been about co-op with my husband (hard to find good, new couch co-op) - we are big fans of all the Gears of War games, and the uber immature Army of TWO series. They're just so good for relieving stress. I never thought I'd enjoy sawing enemies in half, but I surely, surely do. I've never heard of that show, but that's so cool. I love stories like that. To me, that'd be like the coolest thing ever, getting picked up by a game company just by doing what you like and being a fan. Story/interview about the upcoming Borderlands Pre-Sequel game, including a nice little glimpse at gameplay: www.polygon.com/2014/4/9/5593970/borderlands-the-pre-sequel-not-borderlands-3-interviewMy husband is terrified that I'll want to play Claptrap...

I hope you do play Claptrap because HE IS THE BEES KNEES. I always got ticked whenever someone picked on the lil guy. HES SHO CUTTE~
Yeah, I think it's pretty neat, too that he got a new job just totally based on the silly videos he was making. His sister is the voice of Tiny Tina. Just seeing how ones efforts can really make a difference. It's just eye-opening.

I haven't played Borderlands myself, though I'm certainly aware of it with how popular it is. I think I recall my oldest brother and his housemates said they found it great for playing co-op. I have been curious about it though so I may keep an eye out on Steam and nab it if I see it at a decent price
