I mean sure robots don't technically have genders but I don't think anyone in the thread is going to lambast you for referring to Gortys as "she"

multiple characters including Loader Bot refer to her as a she and it even says she in her title card :shobon:

Yeah, it's pretty clear Loaderbot identifies as male, and Gortys as female.

That is a terrible choice. With great reluctance, Loaderbot.

Loader Bot, because he seems much more of a robot able to follow commands and perform them. Where as Gortys is too much of a free spirit and if you asked her to do something she would be like a toddler and just ask why?

So originally I was thinking of using the second post of the thread for write-ups on big important things concerning the Borderlands universe, but so far I feel I've gotten along well enough explaining what I can when I can. Haven't really had a moment yet where I felt like I haven't had enough time to explain something, and generally if something is important enough it'll come up enough times in the game that I can gradually explain more and more of it. There's a few smaller references that I've just kinda tossed into the thread as regular rear end posts but none of them are big enough they need much extrapolating on.

Instead I spent part of today just adding some interesting things to the second post. Currently I've got the title card songs (because they rule), the Jackapedia entries that have been shown so far, the few pieces of fan art I saw, and a collection of all the choices we've made to this point in case you ever want to relive some memories and see how close each poll was.

Check it out, let me know what you think, let me know if I've missed anything. I probably have, 40 pages is a lot of thread to go through. If there's anything else you feel I should chuck in there, give me a holler. Thought about putting in a section for "people who bought the game due to the LP" because I know I've seen that at least like three times by now if not more but I'm too lazy at the moment to go searching for them in this big thread (Thanks for posting so much! Seriously!!).

We'll return to our regularly scheduled videos on Tuesday. :toot:

In Telltale news, apparently they're going to be using a "very much upgraded" version of their engine for Batman, which is cool because their aged engine has been a common complaint.

Something I made is featured on the fanart section of an LP thread on an internet forum.

Not sure how to feel about that. :v:

Realtalk the only way that I'll get back into Telltale episodic games is if they somehow got to do Star Trek, one of the few properties that will benefit completely from an episodic format; every episode is its own A-plot with a B-plot that ties the season together. Bonus points if it's Next Generation.

Goddammit this Cello is way out of tune!
A Star Trek game by Telltale would likely not happen, using any of the original cast members. Patrick Stewart in particular is probably quite expensive to hire to voice lines. I forgot how much he got to voice his few lines in Oblivion. Also, CBS Paramount is VERY specific about how you can use Star Trek for video games. You wouldn't believe the amount of control they have over the content that is released for Star Trek Online.

Or they'll just use the Abramsverse and they can't ruin that any more than it already is.

I'm looking forward to it. It still has two playable characters, but the characters are Batman and Bruce Wayne and the game is supposed to be about the divide between the two and how he copes with trying to be both of them.

Phone posting so I don't have the dope banner images to go along with it, but I've finally returned from my slumber with a new video!



New video, :siren:NEW VOTES:siren:!!

Yvette is kind of putting us in a bind at the moment. Should we talk it out-- use our words to try and intimidate or convince her that everything is fine? That should buy us some time but could bite us in the rear end down the road. Maybe we should just stun her instead? It's a bit spiteful but you may feel she deserves it. Plus she'll be out cold for quite a while, keeping her out of our hair.

What about revealing our identity? Should we keep quiet due to the risks involved? Maybe you think that if we tell her she'll be more likely to work with us... or maybe you just want the satisfaction of seeing the look on her face when we dunk her into the ground. :getin:


Voting ends Saturday evening. I'll count up the Gortys/Loader Bot stuff when I get home from work~

I definitely say Stun her and don't tell her. She's demonstrated her loyalty already, and seeing as I assume the Handsome Jack AI is a pretty valueable thing for Hyperion we don't want to give her any temptation/opportunity to out us to others.
