SO HERE WE ARE AGAIN KITTENS, A NEW “ON THE TOPIC OF...” AND IT’S A SURPRISE CHANGE OF THOUGHT AS I’M NOT DOING “ALICE: MADNESS RETURNS”, BUT, INSTEAD, AM DOING “BORDERLANDS 2″!!!!

Now for the sake of saying it, I’m doing this run as the Mechromancer Class [AKA Gaige AKA the young teenage genius girl with a killer robot buddy], which is by far my favorite class in the game.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

For those who don’t know Borderlands 2 [which if you don’t, what rock have you lived under for this long? O.o] You play as, without DLCs, one of four classes, Axton the Commando, Maya the Siren, Salvador the Gunzerker, or Zer0 the Assassin. with DLC you get TWO more classes, Gaige the Mechromancer, and Krieg the Psycho. Each has their own play-styles, but mainly the same story run-through no matter what. The story takes place sometime after Borderlands 1 where the Vault on Pandora got opened by the four Vault Hunters in that game, Mordecai, Lilith, Brick, and Roland.

In this game, when you start, you wake up hurt and disoriented, but alive, in a tundra wasteland called Windshear Waste, the only survivor of a derailed... Train I believe? This is where the characters in the game come in, you’ll have picked your character and starting customizations before the game even starts [which can instantly be awesome if you have some of the DLCs and/or Shift Codes]... I have picked Mechromancer. Anyways, you wake up as claptrap, a little annoying robot, is... Looting dead corpses and talking out loud to himself... This is a constant thing and can be funny at times, by the way. Anywho, he notices you’re not dead and proclaims his metaphorical ship has arrived to bring him out of the treacherous wastes, and with this, and the handing to you of a looted echo device from a dead vault hunter buried in show [The train was apparently filled with vault hunters, and you drew the lucky straw and lived] your story begins...

So as to not spoil a whole lot and to not make this a book essay, Claptrap gets attacked, his eye stolen by a big four armed ape thing called a bullymong, but is huge boss so his boss name is Knuckledragger, you get your first gun, kill some Monglets and Brat Bullymongs on your way to kill Knuckledragger, kill Knuckledragger, get irritating bot’s eye back, head through a stuck ship after some AI lady unlocks it, get to a town, free it of bandits, meet Sir Hammerlock, get claptrap repaired, free the town of Bullymongs, do a few sidequests, get better guns, grab Claptrap and get going after Handsome Jack, the villain, places a 1 mil bounty on your head. Your destination? Sanctuary, the only, current, safe place from Jack. From here tons of crazy shit is happening, you witness a car chase, kill some bandits so you can help AI lady hack into a car materialization system is you can get a ride, kill some bullymongs, make it to sanctuary gate... Then find out there’s problems... The guy you saw being chased earlier has the power cell needed to keep up a defense grid and Roland charges you with finding his ass and the power cell over ECHO communication, You find him but... He dead... You go and kill the bandits that killed him, killing 20 of them for an optional mission requirement, and then run back to Sanctuary, get the defense grid up JUST in time to protect Sanctuary, then go into town to find out Roland’s gone missing, have to go to Scooter [The guy who owns the car materialization service] who tells you Plan B is to make the city FLY, which fails horribly, then tells you to go to Roland’s housing, find out Roland left you a message as Scooter suspected and you find a message about a “Firehawk”, who turns out to be Lilith, who then tells you who actually kidnapped Roland...

From here I’ve stopped playing main story for moment and am playing Captain’ Scarlett’s Pirate Booty or whatever the DLC expansion is called. I have used about 10 keys on the chest in sanctuary at level 17 to geta  pretty well off setup and have my total Badass Rank up to 1600-something, I think. Next time won’t be so much story shit, it’ll be more on the character and how I’m progressing.
