Man every time he shoots with the gun that sets em on fire the game chugs like hell, bad optimization there. Borderlands still seems boring as heck to me, loot games aren't fun if that's all they have, freaking Torchlight is better than this.

If he dies he looses millions of bucks, thats why. He even said it in the video.

Still not certain if I want this game or not. Hmm.
 
DLC looks neat though, kinda hope it changes around in scenery at least a little though.

" hey duder, you´re a cheater.... whats with the cash ? "
That's not cheating.  1. It's not that hard to get that much money in the 2nd playthrough and 2. The cash indicator maxes out at the 9,999,999$ mark, but you continue to get money after that.

It's the bus driver, AKA your cousin Roman. He wants to go bowling.

I still haven't got a chance to play Borderlands for myself but this is looking like more of what people liked about the main game with a cool new environment. As Ryan so aptly put it it's like looking at Fallout 3 meets Left 4 Dead. I also think it's a cool idea that the DLC does scale to your character level although personally if I had a maxed out my character in the main game and got into the DLC myself I'd probably be a bit bummed out that there was no opportunity to raise my level and little chance to acquire better weaponry.

I disagree with Geoff saying that Soldier is the best in the game - I am destructive bastard with Lilith, especially in this expansion. I literally only need to ever kill one zombie in a crowd, set the rest afire with Phoenix, and all of a sudden I just killed a town's worth of undead in 5-10 seconds. 
 
I do wish that the game recognized that I had collected a bajillion zombie brains before starting those missions, too. Nothing like starting from scratch after a few hours of thinking you were planning ahead =/

yes. Siren is without a question overpowered in borderlands, when you can: 
1. Have over a 100% chance to daze with one shot. 
2. Hellfire/Double Anarchy SMGs- High damage+accuracy, high fire elemental power+ Quicksilver/elemental tree=unstoppable 
3. the 2 decreased cooldown skills means that you can phasewalk pretty much immediately given that you kill 2 dudes while phasewalking. If you don't, the people caught in phase blast will be dazed, given that you went up the elemental tree (and if you're Lilith, you should), given you more than enough time to shotgun 1-2 in the face and enter phasewalk again. 
4. Heal over 75% of your health with Inner Glow+decent class mod in one round of phasewalking (if you use HIt and Run, and you really should)

Who the hell is Geoff? And soldier is the best all-round class in the game.

For some reason, the "box full of ammo" song has me in stitches.

"Hey, Brad!"

"Brad's not here."

"Oi!"

"That's the worst Brad."

So that's where Jeff's Brad Impression came from.
