Some sweet bugs in Borderlands 2

I've been playing Borderlands2 lately. It is a great game! Really enjoy it.

I played the first one too but didn't get as far.

I've been playing with my brother in a 2 player local co-op the entire game. We recently beat the story and then the pirate dlc. We're Level 36 now.

During our playthrough, we encountered some bugs. Normally (in other games) bugs are annoying and some even gamebreaking but in Borderlands2 they were part of the surprising and BADASS experience. Here are some we encountered.

Badass rank doubling and vault keys trippling

This happened to me yesterday. After loading my character I got a notice saying I have 15 golden keys (I had 5 before) and more than 5k badass rank! I had somewhere in the 2k badass rank before. It gave me about 60 points to spent.

Pretty useful as it brought me closer to the bonusses of my co-op partner. The vault in Sanctuary contained some really useful items.

Weapon morph

Somewhere in the main game there was a quest where we had to kill aliens with a certain alien tech assualt rifle. At a certain point the weapon of my co-op partner changed (No, he did not pick up a new weapon). It suddenly had a fire element and I believe some of the stats (maybe name?) were changed. It only happened to his gun, not mine. It was a pretty badass weapon.

Getting stuck behind scenery

A common glitch in many games. Nothing special, just being stuck, unable to move out of a confined space you're not supposed to be. Can be quite funny sometimes, frustrating other times.

No ammo cost

While playing around I noticed my sniper didn't consume any ammo. I was using a Dahl sniper with slag element, high fire rate and 6 or 7 magazine size, emptying the magazine quickly after a burst round. Using this temporary unlimited ammo was pretty badass as we just arrived at a quite hard part. Killing enemies quickly with multiple burst rounds was pretty fun.

Okay, so these are the glitches I remember. They were pretty fun and added to the unpredictability of the game. The glitches are not as big part of the experience as in tony hawk games(wandering outside the map and looking for unreachable places with moon gravity was pretty much it's own unofficial gamemode), but they definitely contributed to the overall experience.

Are there any more awesome glitches that I missed?

Viewtiful Joe episode 6: ... .__.

writing a short blog without having any followers, that sounds fun :) 
(may contain some spoilers about Viewtiful Joe)
 
Woohoo, over a week holiday! Perfect time to finish Viewtiful Joe.  Have been playing it recently. Cool game but I prefer Clover's other games. Still want VJ2 though.
I've played up to episode 5. Okay, no problem so far. Got 5 Game Overs in total. Not fantastic but nothing too bad either,...I think. So I played episode 6 today and wtf is wrong with that level... ;__________; I got 6 Game Overs and haven't even finished it yet! Making me fight against all bosses I defeated so far without even replenishing my hp. The first one is still pretty easy, after beating him a couple of times he goes down pretty fast without losing much hp. But the second one always takes away most of my lives. what's with that uberfast headbut and (almost) unavoidable attack which both deal way too much damage!? And when I'm attacking him he blocks most of my attacks with his axe, when it's finally broken and I can damage him, my VFX bar is almost empty and I need to run away to replenish it and avoid his attacks. After a couple of Game Overs I realized I can actually deal a lot of damage by using slowmotion when his rockets I sent back explode. For some reason this doesn't always work which results in me losing many lives before I finally beat that bastard. I noticed these boxes containing hamburgers and stuff in the background. They would be really useful in these levels IF I KNEW HOW TO OPEN THEM! I still haven't figured out how to open these damn boxes in the background .______. I thought "well zoom would do, cause that brings me closer to the background" but apparently it doesn't work that way. Even after randomly pressing all the buttons for a few minutes I still haven't managed to open them. :( Okay well, on to the next battle with just a few hp and 1 or 2 lives left. Somehow it gets easier from now on since my VFX bar has increased. The shark seems to have more hp and since I'm like professional at dying, well, I die. I managed to reach the 4th boss but it'll take a lot more practice to finish that damn level. I did enjoy it though and I guess it's my favourite level since it even got me to write this thing. It was a good training, it really improved my VJ skills, and kind of tired me. It made me hungry just thinking about it. ...myeah, cool game. That's why I love Clover so much.
 
If anyone happens to read this and know the answer I'd be thankful if you told me how to open those boxes in the background.
lol that's it for now
have fun~
