Will they raise the level cap? I'm wondering when in the story (level-wise) this will take place.

Think I'm just about done with Dragon Age for now. I'm already pumped to get back into Borderlands.

Man, that just pushed my already certain desire for it up all the way to the max.  Love the extra crazy it looks to be bringing.  Though I hope what I saw in one bit wasn't a sign that there will be another Crimson Lance zone like Old Haven.  Hated the near infinite spawns there.

Dr. Ned is a direct-reference to another in-game character, Dr. Zed, but I just can't help but think of Ned from Pushing Daisies, who is a man who has the power to resurrect the dead. Coincidence?

Looks good. Going to have to get this. Even though I hate the idea of zombies, seeing how they seem to be in everything these days.

Judging by the achievements I've seen and read about. I'm going to assume that one is going to be "Ned's dead, baby. Ned's dead."

Oh course I have a physics test the day after this comes out.  I'll make sure I get a points card so I can play this as soon as school's done on Wednesday.  It looks amazing.

I love how it's just Dr. Zed with a fake mustache on his mask and his name tag ripped, that's great!

This has been one of my all time favorite games eva. level 32 going on 33, i just wish there was a bit more to it in story and opponents, cause what is there really works for me. Zombies are overdone, and have been for years, but that won`t stop me. 
 
My only real strong complaint is that I really wish I was playing borderlands and this dlc on my PC. The slowdfown on the xbox360  makes itself evident at times in such a heavy foot sort of way,  like the second arena fight(so far) at the second arena. Just about terrible in a otherwise absolutely great game, it`s real hard to accept. Well except for the extended bright blue blast of my static shotgun..wow, pretty colors!

Supposedly, it scales with your level as long as you are past level 10.  So anyone from 10-50 can go to the area and have it scale to them.  So it's a nice new area for everyone, no matter where in the game you are.
