Borderlands 2

I wish they'd bring out a midget class....
If you fire a shotgun, you fall down etc.

No bad words about zero. He is beastly

This game is packed full of so many pop culture references, which has only just dawned on me - Playing as Maya and sometimes when she kills someone she says, "so it goes", which I think is a reference to Kurt Vonnegut's Slaughterhouse Five and I've heard a bandit say "I am the one who knocks", which is in reference to Breaking Bad.

There's also Salvador's shaved head/beard combo head skin, called Breaking Bald

It was a midget bandit that said it, so it sounded even funnier in their high pitched voice.

Axton has a load of new sayings when he gets that Bison rifle and gets a 1 shot kill with it.

Assume others do too.

Up to level 13 with Axton. Played through the first game with Brick and the Commando class is a lot more fun - there's a lot of satisfaction with using the turret to draw in people, flanking them and then blowing them up from behind.

Just did the Top Gun mission - had me cracking up.

Snap!
And that link is blocked here. Along with all video game based sites, and any thing remotely fun.

Saw the cracked article earlier, and how right they are!

Just got a very nice AR this evening on true valut mode. Orange class tourge AR that has a 29rd mag, takes 4 bullets per shot but fires rockets instead each doing 5700 dmg.

Have used AR's at all , I bloody will be now! Its great, I can lay waste with the massive supply of rockets and switch to an actual launcher I have (doing 35,000dmg) when things get hairy. Between all that and the turret firing rockets too nothing much is standing in my way these days.

I've been using a pistol with +3000% damage and +50% love since yesterday. Only realized earlier that the description also came with the line "would i lie to you"? :mad:

That pistol can do crazy damage. I used it right up to end of 1st playthrough.

The whole map is just a giant chest that you have to run across to open, and littered all around it are smaller chests that explode in showers of even tinier chests, all of which you open only to receive bullets for a gun you don't have.

:pac::pac::pac:

Edit: I wish there was a gun called "The Facekicker", pity it's too obscure outside of Boards for them to get it...

Arawn

Law and order make a decent combo

Does anyone remember when Zero Punctuation was funny?

I knew there was a reason I hadn't watched any of his videos for the last year, and now I remember why...

Penn

After all my work getting the Bane gun....

DirtyBollox

Anyone else get the shield made from

unit 1304 (?) power core?

its ****e but it has the ability to absorb bullets shot at you peridiocally. No idea what Marcus would have done for me but i went with that and put it in claptraps stash in sanctuary.

Eh, I still love him. Most of the videos I watch on the escapist are by the Loading Ready Run guys (LRR, Unskippable and Feed Dump).

I went for the shotgun but it was rubbish compared to the other mission reward shotgun from around the same time:(

Yeah it wasn't bad but i actually had other pistols in my inventory that were better but i was using this one cause it lied to me. I've since sold it.

Vault Hunter mode is brilliant, loot is epic in it.

GK1001

Got a pink gun last night doing the Top Gun mission:D...laying waste to everything now and will no doubt be replaced in a few levels time...This is the sh1t I live for in gaming...I frickin love this game

Thargor

Im at level 23 I think and I found one blue gun so far, no sign of Yellow or Orange weapons and no Iridium (sp?) weapons either apart from one that Zed got me to have a look at early on then took away again, is that normal? I loot everything I see and I always fully explore an area looking for weapons chests.

GK1001

360 Question - I'm heading over to my brothers tomorrow night to babysit his kids. Will I be able to continue my game on his xbox? I have my character saved on the Cloud storage.

Would be nice to get some guilt free BL2 in without the missus looking over my shoulder as to why I'm not watching X-Factor with her!

Normal enough I'd say. I've got one orange gun and one pink (didn't know they existed until last night). There's no yellow weapons as far as I know. Don't think I've had a blue gun either, I've only seen blue shields. And I'm the same on the Eridium weapon, just the one that lasted for 1 mission. I am only Lvl13 though.

Keep opening those chests and caving in those skulls my OCD friend;)

Really, only one blue gun? I'm not that much ahead of you and been finding blue and purple guns for ages. Have you been doing many side missions? Some of them offer blue guns as rewards.

The colours are White, Green, Blue, Purple and Orange (When Grandma Burps, Patrick Obeys )

But yeah, I haven't really had any E-tech weapons so far though apart from the one you mentioned. I'm guessing they'll come later in the game

Kiith

Should definitely have found more then 1 blue by lvl23. Im only lvl16 and i'm finding purples (rarely) and blue's all over the place. Most of them are useless, but still...

Thargor

Thats bizarre, although now that I think of it my caustic SMG is blue aswell and so is my shield, just worried Im doing something stupid but I definitely clear out every side mission on the log before doing the next story quest. Some of the green weapons Ive been finding are spectacular though.

Should be sound if that's what the game creates, one save file per character.

ED E

Anyone got the G510 display to actually do something?

Are you getting purple guns? They are the next rarest to orange and better than blue but you should be seeing a fair few of them at this stage. For example when you open the golden chest in sanctuary you should be getting purple gear.

bit bs that you can only have 99 eridium... have only just realised it and have not gotten the black market just yet...

Is that much of an issue? Sanctuary is only about 1hr into the game.

ChubbyHubby

How do you even get 99 eridium before going to santuary?

Grayditch

GET DEM SLOTZ.

I went from 130000+ to 50 odd thousand in one sitting doing those fecking things waiting for the three eridium bars. Then on my final go, I finally get it. So much eridium

Just used a golden key on my L15 Zero.



Best part...the bullets ricochet. Amazing damage for a L15 sniper rifle, and the only negative is that it's a Hyperion.
