Is it just me, or does the mind wander to Mr. Toad when one sees the name "Mr. Torgue?"

Also dear God, I'm going to start an Axton playthrough just for Chopper Topper.

Another small question about Borderlands 1, related to PT 2.5:

I reached the Vault on PT2 and all previous monsters have leveled up to 50+ to match my current level. However, all incomplete missions (including those that I never looked at, such as Crazy Earl) remain at their mid-30 to low-40's level.

Do I need to complete Knoxx or some other DLC first before the missions themselves level-up, or is the 2.5 level-up applicable only to monsters and their related loot.

Personally, he reminds me more of Axe Cop then the Macho Man.

Hopefully they'll add new raid bosses. Ideally they should just change it so that Terra drops crystals too.

But yeah it was implemented so badly. Not like any of the old seraph gear is worth having in the first place either.

I just want a Torgue SMG :(

Yeah, I thought so too.

Maybe "Mr. Torgue" isn't one person, but a name passed down to those who are worthy. Kind of like the Dread Pirate Roberts, but with more explosions.

Fair enough. Tomorrow is likely a miss since I'm meeting up with someone else for some non-Flesh Stick stuff--need a change of pace after all and I'd like a night I'm not hearing Tina in my sleep. Saturday evening may be good, and perhaps Sunday daytime. Sunday night is reserved for watching the Ravens beat the Steelers and/or Survivor Series.

After that, it's anyone's guess. I'm not sure when they're pushing the patch through to fix that exploit, so this weekend may be the best time since I have a funny feeling we might see that patch hit this week. This is just pure speculation on my end.

That would just be Brick.

Speaking of, didn't one of the Gearbox guys say they wanted to make playable BL2 versions of the BL1 characters? Maybe they'll have a Mr. Torgue head option. Better yet, a Jack's Mask-like head for everyone.

The new pink ones aren't Seraph weapons. They're bought using special tokens dropped in the Torgue arena now.

The DLC is confirmed for November 20th as well.

EDIT: \/ Yeah it's silly. These things should just cost eridium (but more than the slot/ammo upgrades)

Hmm. I beat TVHM with my Siren, everything scaled to 50, did a bunch of the sidequests that I waited to accept... but when I entered Oasis for the first time (and it was the first time, I got the opening cutscene and everything) the enemies scaled to 50 but the quests are only 35. What gives?

For some reason everything in Oasis stays at 35 even for PT 2.5 until you beat the DLC campaign. Everything from Wurmwater on should be 50, have you left Oasis?

And there are sponsors which you do quests to get. And the arena's are basically gigantic FFA's where tons of ridiculous stuff happens.

Kotaku has a slightly spoiler preview. They figure 6-8 hours of DLC
