The story in this game is soooo much better than the first one.

For example, while I was playing last night:
Holy shit! Jack killed Bloodwing! D:

And conversely, if you play the side missions you get to screw with Jack in a number of delightful ways.:D They play him up to be such a bastard that you can't help but to revel in returning the favor.

I vote for Face McShooty to be the most awesome character in any recent game and his quest the most awesome quest :awe: The achievement for it literally made me laugh so hard!!

I literally could not stop laughing :D :D :D It's random things like that which I love in this game! Did you guys listen to the stuff the enemies are saying when you shoot them, use your action skill or kill them? The ROFLing caused me to die a few times! :D

Here's a Gearbox Forums thread: http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=152164

My favorite quote so far was by the one and only, Tiny Tina.

"When you'r ready to start the party, please go over and smack mister Flesh Stick in his bitch face."

That whole sequence of events was hilarious.

Tiny Tina is way up there on the list too - psycho and cute, in a very weird way! :D

My main weapon right now (Lvl 25 Zer0) is an incendiary sniper rifle. When you light cannibalistic bandits or rats on fire, they shout "I SMELL DELICIOUS!" Love. This. Game.

Like the first game, fire is the first elemental damage you will find, followed by explosive, shock, then corrosive.

I must have just been lucky in the first game, I remember I had a corrosive scoped pistol early on that would one hit kill almost anything except bosses. It was awesome. I did farm the secret chests in New Haven though, because you respawned right on top of them, and it was so easy. That is probably where I got it.

So far in this game, I have not found any good farming spots that you dont have to fight your way back to and walk a long ways.

The best "farming" spot that I've found through level 25 are the vendor machines at Fink's (in the Fridge). There are no bad guys, and you can save/reload every few seconds (after checking deals of the day) for some really powerful items. Not as good as chests that guarantee rare drops, and this methods costs money, obviously, but since you can reload 30 times or more in 10 minutes, it's well worth it if you really need an upgrade.

As I'm leveling up my Siren, my only thought is... I really don't want to do this again for another character. I would really like a WillowTree 2 so I can just hack my next set of toons to 30 and start them in Playthrough 2. Diablo III has pretty much ruined me as I can't stand the thought of being forced to play a game more than once to play the actual game.

That's also where I create Fatal God-liaths. The only negative aspect is that the game moves around the Goliaths depending on what you've done. If you've killed Rakkman, then the Goliath will be near the beginning, but if you haven't, then the Goliath is all the way near the crystalisks. I use Laney and her midgets to level up the goliath, which actually takes a few kills to go from Super Badass Goliath to Fatal God-liath.

Randy just posted keys for all platforms that are good until 5:45 PM. To my knowledge, it has no specific number of allotments.

Is gear really better from chests with more people? I thought it was just mob drops.

I think the golden chest gives out purples (and e-tech purples) regardless of how many people are playing. It's not as if the chest is going to suddenly cough up an orange, as nice as that would be.:p

I have no clue if the chest items are better with more people or not, I'd figured it would since they push the whole more people = better loot thing. hmm, gotta find out now

I logged into my desktop using Splashtop Remote Desktop. Used the Borderlands 2 launcher application to change it to Windowed mode, opened Borderlands 2, and entered the code.

Speed wasn't an issue (I'm on LTE), but for some reason, clicking by tapping stopped working once I entered the Extra menu. Luckily, they :wub: us PC users and allow us to use Tab, etc!
