Ice-T thinks this Borderlands 'sh*t is sick' photo

#Gearbox Software #PC #PS3 #Xbox 360

On October 21, actor/rapper/pimp Ice-T picked up a copy of Borderlands. Since then, he's been a bit, shall we say... obsessed. And he's been telling all 24,000-plus of his Twitter followers.

"Just got done playing Borderlands 4hrs straight," he writes, "need I say more?"

But it doesn't stop there. Later, he tells his followers that he's going to play the game again... for an estimated five hours. Later, he updates his progress and proclaims "This sh*t is sick." 2K Games marketing, we can only assume, are frustrated they couldn't have put that in their print ads.

"This game is like crack! I gotta get 2 more hours in before I crash tonight," Ice-T also says. "There's 10,000 Guns!"

Sorry, Ice, you're wrong... it's actually 3,166,880.

When Ice T talks, niggaz betta listen.

Magnalon

Ice T hasn't been relevant for a while now: but seriously, google "Ice T Cop Killer" for some serious relevant shit.

ALSO, BANG BANG! PISTOL WHIP WIT MA TECH-NINE, GONNA GETS MINES.

Handy

Ban this shit sick filth!

MrSadistic

I think Ice T is still relevant. From his sorta hot wife, to his current stint on Law and Order, to his hilarious Conan O'Brien interviews, I sorta like the dube. Well I mean him being in Body Count was fucking awesome too.

Diverse

This is worst then the media trying to find out what Michael Jordan thought of 9/11.

Vedicardi2

hellllllllllllz yeah dawg

ice t is fuckin beast

TheToiletDuck

Well it's not like he has much else going on at the moment.

Brolsen

I can only imagine him shouting some gangster shit to some poor npc while sprayin' bullets.

BREAK YO'SELF FOOL!

Best pr ever.

fetusmilk

you know there is someone creating a data base FAQ as they are playing it. it would be cool to tape your games and go back and get screen shots of every weapon you find.

Czech Monster

Xbox 360 MW2 Outselling PS3 2-to-1, 'nuff said.

@Czech Monster -- aaannd... So what? Isn't the only important thing if one version plays better than the other?

Ice-T's next album : Clap Trap Rap

akathatoneguy

Call him the Ice...or just the Iceberg.

Cowboy TTop

Nice bit of free promotion for 2K, and might explain the high sales too. Word of mouth is a powerful thing. be nice and 2K will add an Ice T inspire character to the game. Stranger stuff has happened.

I too am loving Borderlands, whether I play for an hour or six, it hits the sweet spot, and god bless that auto save.

kauza

Dude needs to read my latest Cblog.

Pocky Monster

That was an early debug menu, the last one spotted had the number around 17,500,000 :P

IRHari

I've had so many problems with Borderlands (ps3 version) it's the first game I've ever returned. It's always freezing on loading screens, it freezes on the join game screen....QA/QCmuch borderlands?

Pangloss

That's not Ice T, that's Senisan!

norm9

Glad to see some genuine enthusiasm from a celebrity for video games unlike shit like Beyonce/Ninty DS.

bluemeep

I bit the bullet and put in for the Steam version while they've got the preorder discount. Now I just have to resist for all of November until NaNoWriMo is over :/

hpv

I don't know that it's ever been confirmed, but Randy Pitchford said not to long ago that the number of guns was up to around 17.75 million.

IRHari: I haven't had any crashes, though there are lots of little bugs and the framerate chops like crazy at points on my over-heating 60GB PS3. What sort of PS3 do you have and does it run hot? Because my brother has a 40GB (that doesn't over-heat) and he has almost no framerate drops. Seems to vary a lot from system to system, though obviously the framerate even when working properly is inexcusably lower than the 360.

can't read, level 29 hunter, just found a new sniper, killed krom, gotta go kill more bugs

sleepingagain

lol Ice T has opinions on video games

vexed alex

I give Ice T respect for having a "beef" via youtube with Soulja Boy.

Rammstein

Been a big Iceberg fan since Body Count's Cop Killer album(1991) helped bridge my musical taste away from rap and towards Metal�. The dude is a big time gamer, he's had a long running rep as such his Twitter account name is even "FINALLEVEL," which he says "is what we are all trying to achieve."

He's living the life. Celebrity, wealth, on a popular TV show, avid gamer, a super hot wife. What more could one want? =D

tombouy

No, you're absolutely right, there's no way 2K is paying Ice-T to post these tweets (or post them under his identity). That would involve a less-than-clever bit of marketing and prior knowledge of both Twitter and Ice-T's "underground" status.

C'mon, you're better than this.

Nogarda

Borderlands is the sleeper hit of the year, it'll need an heroic effort to beheard around the upcoming storm of modern warfare 2 and assassins creed. which is prolonged by mass effect 2, bioshock 2, and more.

I hope it doesn't become the 'remember that game you liked near the modern wafare 2 release?' I just hope it earns enough to warrant a improved sequel with more more more, added to it, and it gets a summertime slot which is marketed to death.

Naim Master

I love Ice-T, he's the best B-celebrity ever, he wins by the AWESOME Law & Order theme song, for his wife, between many other talents...

IRHari

@hpv
I've got an 80gig backwards compatible (it was the MGS4 bundle basically.) It's never froze on ANY game except Fallout 3 (understandable when it was freezing for everyone.) But this is really unacceptable, especially in this day and age. I've bought PS2 games with less problems than this game. A little more time in QA/QC, well worth the delay, perhaps.

YEAH-YA

(funny hater comment)

ph00p

Borderlands doesn't need this hype something like Demon's Soul could really use it though, if only atlus gave a few Hollywood shlubs a free copy or two.

Sheeet, I gotta try this now.
