Does turning dialog volume up also increase the volume of The Gun?

Boy, when I got up this morning I was certainly not expecting to be hearing"ballistic fetishistic piss-stick" repeatedly. Also a 360p video (I have bad internet, shut up) looks like mega-rear end with all those fire and shield damage and blood spatter effects going on.

I think one of my favorite Raving Retribution rants has Krieg insist that he's only aiming to be the best supporting actor.

Either that, or the one where the 'good' personality goes nuts too.

Also, something regarding Krieg's Valentine's confessions about his past loves: If you subscribe to the theory that Krieg is Tiny Tina's dad (And honestly there's enough evidence in his quotes that the only thing missing is a direct interaction with Tina), the "sad-faced mother" is obviously his wife, Tina's mom.

i stop using this build once we finish the torgue dlc, it just felt appropriate for the setting and i wanted to show it off

also i never got to hear krieg's raving retribution rants in game until now so it was party for myself :shobon:

hammerlock's uncomfortably racist jerkoff session is actually not a good dlc

that said i'm not gonna sit here and claim Torgue is much better, because outside of Torgue himself and the bar brawl in the video above.... well, this stream is gonna remind some folks how much this DLC drags

I love and hate those lootsplosions in equal measure. Because A, free stuff! Cool stuff! But B, I'm the kind of guy that makes multiple runs back and forth to sell off every single piece of loot. Even if it's just a $94 white, that's 94 more dollars that can be spent on ammo or health or slot machines.

e: I noticed that Flyboy has some turrets set up, and you were killing them just by parking the Incredible Exploding Krieg in the general vicinity.

e2: Oh my god that final lootsplosion, I would be making twenty loving trips to the vending machines.

You're '''''''''''supposed'''''''' to use torgue assault rifles and launchers on the badassasaurus.
Torgue assault rifles being mostly crap (un-community patched) makes this a usually terrible idea.

Try taking the Torgue DLC as MR. TORGUE is making a Michael Bay movie. Then all the minor inconveniences make perfect sense.

I decided to add "BL2 Better Loot mod" to my load order for the community patch. Just a heads up that what this does is make it so that any and all loot in the game has a chance to drop from the world loot pools. That includes quest only red-text loot, DLC exclusive loot, seraph gear, and gem weapons. He also makes a mod that fixes vendors to not give you lovely whites and greens all the time. If you want to really mess around with the game, you can grab the entire github repository.

This mod replaced CheatEngine table fuckery for me (also because trying to download CheatEngine triggered MalwareBytes and Spybot super hard).

In case anyone wonders about this, scanners aren't triggering on "Oh man CheatEngine is bad watch out!" specifically, they're triggering on a heuristic algorithm that tries to identify what software does and if it finds something bad alerts on that. Since CheatEngine is a program that modifies memory being used by other programs that's a big ole red flag on the heuristics scale, and not something that's done legitimately outside of pretty narrow concerns. It also gets binary repacked/compiled so anti-cheat software won't detect it for online games, which is also a no-no.

yeah it might have been earlier in the thread or somewhere else but someone brought this to me and panzer's attention. when we saw it was a whole github thing and we'd have to edit the community patch we decided against it since by the time we heard about it we were already almost done the stream series. didn't want to break anything by accident so late in the game. maybe for pre sequel, if there's one for that!

There is (same repository but one level down), and they made a tool for mod merging (Borderlands Community Mod Manager(BLCMM)) so you don't have to manually cut and paste the whole thing.

I did find those mods thanks to another post in this thread:

As far as i've seen and researched, any edits made to the games hex-code have to be done every time you launch it. Also, for people wary of downloading Cheat Engine (it set off MalwareBytes every time i tried downloading it so take that into consideration), who wants to experience the glory of increased drop rates, there is a solution: if you have the tools to run the Unofficial Community Patch, you can also run the BL2 Better Loot mod. The highlights are MASSIVELY increased chances of better loot from chests (i have literally never seen anything lower than a blue come from any chest, ever, with it), bosses are guaranteed to drop their legendary weapons on death, reducing the grind form getting the gun at all to getting your preferred roll, as well as adding Serpah items and gemstone items to the drop tables. Also it works really with the the community patch, and means getting seraph items isn't reduced to god-awful boss fights!

I'm sorry that I didn't credit you before. Please forgive me.

I love everything about the Flexingtons. Especially that Torgue's full name seems to actually be Mister Torgue High-Five Flexington. I should probably not have kids, because I now have an overriding desire to either have Mister be part of his first name, or give him High-Five as a middle name. :torgue:

And this was where I said gently caress off to the season pass. I couldn't care less about Tiny Tina and Hammerlock is one of those characters I wish Handsome Jack would've killed offscreen. Or let us kill him.

Just make sure he never appears in another Borderlands game Gearbox; too many white supremacistsVictorian fetishists love this piece of poo poo character.

Hammerlock more like hits his cock with a hammer.

Holy poo poo I thought youtube was stuck on 240p mode or something with how desaturated and poo poo that area looks. I can't believe they took out one of the few things this game has going for it in this DLC.

To follow up on the person who argued that you shouldn't have re-spec'd for Hammerlock:

It's well within the realm of possibility that Krieg ranting about ballistic fetishistic piss-sticks again might drown out the sound of Claptrap or Hammerlock talking, therefore improving the experience of speed-running this DLC significantly!
