Hey, look! A Borderlands 2 trailer that I’m posting because if I don’t Brandon would return from his vacation and stab me in the forehead with a ball-point pen. Also, it’s pretty hilarious.
This Borderlands 2 Trailer Sleeps Tonight
Todd Brakke
Todd was born in Ann Arbor with a Michigan helmet in one hand and a mouse in the other. (Never you mind the logistics of this.) He grew, vertically anyway, and proceeded to spend over 16 years as a development editor for Pearson Education, publishing books, videos, and digital learning products under the Que and Sams Publishing imprints. Because that wasn't enough of a challenge, Todd has also been a 20-year part-time snob about video games, writing reviews, features, and more for multiple outlets. Follow him on Twitter @ubrakto or check it out his website at ToddsFoolery.com.
The funny thing is that I tried to post this but couldn’t find an embed code in the iPad YouTube app.
Good job, Todd! Fear my pen!
Shouldn’t you be fighting sharks in the ocean about now?
One of the main things I love about Borderlands is that they have a sense of humor. They don’t try to be funny or make jokes really, but they just have a touch of the ridiculous that is a grand improvement over the grim seriousness that is most shooters. I haven’t bought a new game at release since Arkham City, but I know Borderlands 2 will be played on release day in my house.
I’ve watched that trailer 4 times now and every time it made me giggle and smile like a schoolgirl… Just such a perfect blend of over-the-top gore/violence and preposterous-ness. Makes me wanna joypuke!
