Damn, that Mad Moxxie is one fine looking lady. I appreciate her cavalier attitude, lovely gams and the fact that she could kill me without a second thought.
To say that I'm looking forward to the next installment of downloadable content for Borderlands is like saying an astronaut with a crack in his helmet is looking forward to oxygen. I need this and this trailer 2K has released isn't helping none (which I realize is a double-negative but it just sounds so folksy that I can't resist it and I figured you all would take my meaning).
Did you see that bit where all the boss characters were coming out of that door? That is the sort of thing that has me pumped. I want Borderlands to really challenge my team and it's looking like Mad Moxxie could be a real contender on that front. Too bad we won't all be available to play it for weeks after its release.
Also, who among you has noticed what killed Moxxie's first husband?

Wait, you guys still need XP? Play more dammit! But seriously, as Gearbox explained, it is a different mode and it would break the game more or less if they added XP. You could just grind yourself to a certain level only by entering the tournaments.
I'm buying it for sure. Can't wait for the weapons locker and yes Conrad, those bosses.
I'm curious if the weapons locker will be available across multiple characters or only one character can access that. If the prior it'll help people starting a new character.
Yeah, great voice work. Borderlands had some great voice talent. And great writing. And great guns. And great things to shoot. I love this game. So much.
I love how the "cheat" is shot in the head by the Konami code. That's just brilliant.
I'm also glad I decided to preorder Borderlands. I don't regret a dollar of it.
If you're not at level 50 by now, you're just not trying hard enough. Unless you're doing what Ive been doing, and leveling out all 4 characters. Topcatyo is right, I dont think I've played a game this year that has given me more value for the price than Borderlands. Except for ODST maybe...jk.
So I take it there's gonna be a Steve reference in every DLC?
That's good, though so far it seems like all he gets is killed...
Also, I've been hearing rumors of different arena modes (like low gravity, etc.) so I hope that's in there.
Regardless, I'm getting this the moment they update the PSN Store on the 7th!
I have no interest in this due to the mostly recycled assets and arena-style challenges, but at the end of the day Gearbox really knows how to make a trailer, that's for sure.
Personally I am really looking forward to this. My xbox live is Affinitia so hit me up if you're in the neighborhood! I still play Borderlands more than any other game.

Although the weapon drops will prolly be awesome it seems more like i'd be paying ten bucks for a bank. I guess I'll wait for the next dlc.
