You know, I really had no interest in this game until today after watching this and reading the hands-on here on Giantbomb. Now I'm starting to get pretty excited for it. Not quite a day 1 buy, but I'll probably try to rent it if possible.

Even though most of this stuff I've heard already, just hearing it from the man's mouth makes me fill with glee.

I can't wait for this damn game. Whose with me on PC?

This game is coming out on the 360. You don't need to 'asplode your graphics card quite yet. Happy Panda? That aside, this game looks pretty awesome, both graphically and (by the looks of things) gameplay-wise. I like the way the damage count sort of pops up when you hit something.

I don't like the art style that much and the story is hackneyed; however, the design of the game does indeed sound awesome. If it ends up being good I really don't want it to be swamped at release by other better known, but perhaps lesser quality, titles. Best of luck to the Gearbox team.

His excitement is palpable, and infectious. I love the art style of this, and Pitchford sells it like a pro.

" If the guy had actually played hundreds of hours of Diablo, he would have learned how to say the dude's name properly. Just saying.

Also: I am absolutely getting ODST, as I am not under the mistaken impression that getting it will somehow make original games scarcer. Borderlands looks totally sweet, but I'm gonna pass on it, at least for a while... because I'm getting Brutal Legend in October instead. A person can enjoy both new IPs and sequels?! What a concept! "
I've played hundreds of hours of Diablo and I pronounce it both ways. Who cares how you pronounce it? You still knew what he was talking about. All the people talking about the pronunciation remind me of Prince Charmles who corrects King Trode by saying "It's Charm-lay!".

Honestly, who gives a fuck?

Opening the vault on Pandora you say?  Let's do it, what could possibly go wrong?!

Opening it will repopulate the world with with crazy hardcore monsters, but unlock a new weapon manufacturer called Hope Industries or something.  Calling it.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the art style at all? The UI seems overly cluttered also.

That Eazy shirt is rad, Jeff.

This game looks alright so far, I absolutely love the art style. Really, if it wasn't for the art style I wouldn't be even nearly as interested. I love collecting loot a la Diablo, and the game reminds me of Fallout 3, which I love, so I'm hoping Borderlands is great.

Really nice interview and I like this guy's passion.  Still don't know if I'll play this but that's just me being highly selective.  I know a lot of people will love having a proper co-op game to play with, though.

This looks like the first Gearbox game I'm going to love. I've enjoyed their previous games but none of them were as unique as this.

The only thing I wonder about the AI generating gear, I wonder if it actually creates different models, or uses pre-existing models with different stats.

Will those competitive "arena domes" only support the 4 players in a given group?  Or can we get full-on 16-player team deathmatch?

Randy is such a cool guy, and that is probably the best example of gameplay for this game I have seen yet.  Somehow I just got more excited for this game, the wait will be hard.
