~•*Pandorian Lounge*•~

Welcome to the Pandorian Lounge!
This thread is for everyone to hang out, have a drink and swap tales of your adventures across Pandora....and soon...the moon.. So the sky's the limit! Talk about missions of success and....of epic fails. This can be a place to talk about absurd theories of how Jacks face got branded, or how he poisoned his friend, Welhelm. There's tons to talk about and the future is bright. Several new games coming out this year and can be rambled about just as well.

Rules of the thread are:
No under age drinking. Midgets must show ID
There WILL BE SPOILERS in this thread so avert your virgin eyes
Drunken posting IS encouraged.
Do not ask for guns and loot in this thread. There's a whole forum for that.
Borderlands 1, Borderlands 2, Borderlands Pre Sequel and Tales from the Borderlands are ok to talk about here.
Moderators and admins? If any of this is outside of current rules feel free to edit this post to reflect that.
Also, if Moxxi's innuendo bot serves you drinks, don't be offended if he always brings you HARD liquor or STIFF drinks. That's how a Moxxi robot do.
​

With that said, lets see if this thread takes off. I know since I completed what I wanted out of digistruct I have a TON of stories!

So, *pops open beer* what do you guys have to say?

Cheers!

I'm liking these stories! Thanks guys!

Rob? I know that feel! Screwing up a part of the game like that... I accidently JUST did something similar.. I was killing those same loot midgets...i didn't realize I picked up one of the mission items. Didn't realize it until I hit "save and quit"

Uugggggggghhhh! Noooooz! So have 1 now...facepalm.jpeg

Here's a story recently!

So a buddy of mine (who got us into borderlands and we recently returned the favor by getting his whole family up to op8!) was wanting to go on a chubby run! Playing as the gunzerker, I hadn't completed much of the game yet. Just to where you meet Brick. I said "yeah! I know 3 spots!". He says "I seriously need a legendary class mod for my mechro.. I need something for shock!". So we go to dust, within 3 minutes a tubby spider ant shows up. Kill him, he drops....LEGENDARY CATALYST class mod op8 for mechro! He's tickled. I still need more mods, he still has other characters so we proceed with the run. We comb the desert, nothing else. We go to three horns valley, nothing, went to every place we saw skags. Nope. I had the idea to get both is us to "pull a Bernie" (we coined this term from Weekend at Bernie's. We would have a second player connect and just drag them around LOL. Usually we did this for exp...we no longer need exp! Mwhahaha). So we wanted 4 people in the game just to up the chance of tubbies. Then I went to Master Gee's arena for good measure. My buddy says "farm house! Varkids have tubbies!". I knew full well Vermi was a possibility...but I wasn't interested in him. Just tubbies. So we went to the farm house. We give all our money to our Bernie characters who will be nice and safe in the basement...then..head out to the world above.

With in seconds there's a mass of badass varkids. We keep fighting, we had no fewer than 4 ultimate badass varkids at a time. Took them out left and right. Everytime we kil one ultimate badass, another takes their place. Still, no tubbies or chubbies. By now the field is covered in Eridium...beautiful purple glowing Eridium. We both need it. But how do we get it all!? The field is so unmanageable even norfleets don't help much. My buddy equips the WTF shield and runs in trying to puck up as much as possible. We wade through the sea of insects, turn around..."HOLY!!! ITS A TUBBY!!! KILL IT KILL IT KILL IT!". we are jumped by 4 ultimate badasses. When we respawn we climb the ladder go back to where it was...nothing.. He's gone!? And no legendary... But what is THIS!? ITS A GIANT POD!!!! VERMI BURSTS THROUGH IT AS IF TO SAY " HERE'S JOHNNY!!!".

Vermi is unleashed, tubby is gone... My friend has never seen vermi before and insists on fighting it. So, of course, we must do battle! Rar! Throwing everything we have at it, double norfleets for me and 1 for him. Sandhawks work well. I remember the last time I battled this guy, my wife and I fought him for an hour and barely made a dent..but that was before norfleets, sandhawks and my gunzerker! now 10 minutes into the fight he has lost 7% of his health. Not too bad but its 3am...we could be at this all night... "THE TRAIN!" I yell. He has never heard of this. We begin trying to lure him away towards the tracks. He flies around for the most part and will not land. We die repeatedly. I must complain that the ladder in the farmhouse must be the most glitchy, horrible ladder in all of Pandora. You can never climb it straight when you are in a hurry.. So frustrating.... Luckly Vermu was distracted by Buzzards who have decided to join the fight. I run through, ignoring everything but vermi using my grog nozzle and dpuh. Staying alive I decode to SIT on the tracks. I'm blindsided by a swarm of hornet missiles he shoots I spin around while in fight for my life just in time to see *honk honk*. And Vermi gets a face full of train....killing him instantly! The train rolls him over, a sea of loot and Eridium explodes onto the field. Again, my friend and I must work quickly to clear the loot before more terror befalls us. "what happened to him!?" he yells. "just grab the loot and RUN!". MORE ultimate badasses have now shown up. When the dust clears and we warp the hell out of there we find we have gotten....a legendary nasty surprise! Mwahahaha! Victory! And that's the first time we ever killed vermi!!!

My question is, did the tubby turn into Vermi!?!?!?!

 

Back to Fat Guy, I can't wait till the old gang here is back together. I like Sacred's sig! I want to ask if its from the anime Valvrave. Love me some valvrave. Heh, speaking of anime, Rob? You like anime? I know you're laid up for a while and have an Xbox. I have 2 free passes for crunchyroll. I know a shedload of great shows on there. Hit me up on pm if interested!


I need to make a sig soon! I always post from our phone and if I had photoshop/gimp on this windows phone...i doubt if ever get any work done...lol.

This is our first smart phone. We quickly became addicted. "I can make web posts at work!? *mind blown*". However the Verizon guy ended up selling us a windows phone and not an android or iPhone... It cost is... A dollar... One single dollar. After we got the phone a friend was telling us about the new app from gearbox "Loot the world". It lets you scan barcodes and it attaches the code to your shift account and turns it into a weapon! My friend was running around his house scanning EVERYTHING. He asked me what have I got...sadly, the app does not work on windows phones.... He told me I should ask for my dollar back... LOL

 

Well this is nuts. So I'm sitting here, eating a burrito and killing 2 yuenglings while farming the warrior for Eridium...and I just noticed something odd
not sure if its useful but what the heck.

I decided to give the mechro some Eridium while I play as the gunzerker. I filled out the first two skill trees leaving the 3rd untouched. I had deathtrap come out just to see what he did. I'll be a pandorians uncle if that wasn't 10"minutes ago. He's still out getting stacks and killing the rakk. What's more, it says "not a barrel of" badass rank is going up. For some odd reason deathtrap counts as an electric barrel! He just kills rakks and the game thinks I'm killing enemies with barrels!

Odd! Thought I'd mention it before I forgot tomorrow.

 

So here's a question, Fat Guy? What's the deal with that grinder in blood shots? I don't think I'm familiar with that one. I know of the grinder in saw tooth and the alter in Tiny Tina's dragons keep. Can you get legendary there?

I have a tip for dragons keep alter!

2 players, player one equips a booster shield (legendary big boom works great) and stand in front of the alter. Have player two equip a low level infinity or logans gun. Must be low level. Challenge each other to a duel! Have player 2 shoot player 2 from behind. Booster shield should fly forward. Guess what? It counts as an item for sacrifice!!! You can totally get a shedload of loot for free by doing this!!!! Can this work other places?

 

So last week we were getting together with some friends. We always swap new videos about music we found. We are always interested in new musical instruments or VERY old (like historically old) instruments being brought back. They were telling us about a new steel drum called "hangpan/drum" it was really neat. We were watching street performers play some and one guy....had a didgeridoo... They came from Australia by indigenous tribes. We all started getting kinda creeped out by the sound coming out of that thing and I asked "what do you think this was used for? It seems less like a musical instrument and more like cave man Morse code. Perhaps to warn everyone in an ear shot?". My friend exclaims "CANNIBAL HORN!!". We all went "AHHHHggghh!"

He says they totally were cannibals there! Maybe they warned each other about tribes of them! Gross...

Didgeridoo video.

So later that week they came over and we were playing Borderlands 2. We had just came back to the hunting lodge in Hammerlock's DLC. we had the sound up kinda loud but we were just hanging out, talking when....the background music changed.....IT WAS DIDGERIDOO!! They said "CANNIBAL HORN!!! NOOOOO. At least there's no cannibals!". I had never noticed this instrument playing here before, then it clicked. I played devils advocate and said "yeah! Good thing!". I then walked off the side of the lodge and walked down to the village.....there WITCH DOCTORS APPEARED WITH SAVAGES!!!

Everyone screamed..."NOOOOOOOoooooo!". Apparently, Gearbox did their homework! LOL!

Oh, here's the playlist I was talking about.

http://m.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPSpR8NlJ0qAmZRg8Iin9bECQrRD6PLmy

So, watch out for cannibal horns at Hammerlock's!

 

So one time I ran into sawtooth cauldron and after jumping down and running through the grotto I found..
.
......


Nothing! No people at all! Rode the elevator up to fight the buzzards, again..nothing! No music to queue the fights.

Nope! No one at all was around.

This sound familiar?.

Anyone?..

 

Yeah! I reloaded and it worked fine! It was kind of ironic, too. I came here to ramble about it. And there were no people here either. LOL

But yeah! I was even on the mission to shoot down the buzzards! Up the elevator...nothing! It may have been because I was rocket jumping with the gunzerker. You seen missing spawns while rocket jumping?

 

Heh! I guess when flying everywhere it doesn't count if you don't "walk" over certain areas to queue the enemies!

I picked up a pocket rocket explosive badaboom!!! It was the other day at 5 am. I found I can shoot the bullymong much like counting sheep. It will always put me right to sleep after a while. Funny story. I put the tv on the dim setting if I'm going to leave it on and snooze. So I wake up ay 5am, can't sleep. I figure, "count the bullymong time". First try, I shoot above him, he jumps into it spilling his loot everywhere. I check, money, 2 Eridium, a blue gun, a purple rocket launcher..meh, pause almost about to hit save and quit when I see a lone money stacks light sticking up over a hill. I didn't want to miss anything so I unpause and run towards it. It doesn't absorb!...what? I rub my eyes still blury. I see its in the shape of a rocket launcher!!! Its a pocket rocket badaboom!

It seems to work just as good as my corrosive and it doesn't make me go blind!!!!

 

So! Pre sequel is out and I'm back! Hope all the bots are gone, admins?! You guys around?Awesome! Lets get back to rambling about these games!

Warning if you didn't read the introductory post, SPOILERS WILL BE IN HERE. So, done read if you don't want to know.

Pre sequel is AWESOME!

I can totally see a dlc in the future where you play as Jack on Helios! Moxxi had a shield on her hip so maybe she's dlc too at some point?

Has anyone killed Godzilla yet? I'm only level 12..... I can't....yet...

If you don't know of it, here's a few goodies including how to get the excalibastard.

So not enough people have the game yet, that's cool. I'll just ramble until you guys catch up.

So there I was on the moon, racing some snorting kid named "Lunewalker". (obvious reference to Star Wars I). I put putted around the moon and beat him in a pod race. No sweat. I'm talking to the kid, waiting to get my reward when the kids DAD shows up all pi$$ed. I had my back to the door never even seeing him. I died. I went back to find him... He was gone!!

Anyone else have this problem!? Where'd he go!? How do I collect the reward!? Can I drive his snazzy moon racer?!

LOL.

 

Happy Halloween!

Now, go farm dead lift in pre sequel before midnight. Its awesome.

Last night on Helios, the money looked like candy and the exploding containers had jack o lanterns.

It's the bloody harvest! Go farm deadlift for a jack o cannon!

I'm talking to my self again.

Ok, here's a new discovery. Last night I'm playing as claptrap with all the skills filled out for novas. I also have most skills (except melee) for subroutines. So I randomly hit a sub routine boost and I go to toggle my badass points to manually save the game. To my surprise claptrap exploded into a fire nova twice! I kept hitting triangle as fast as I could and claptrap exploded in a nova EVERY TIME! I determined it was a skill and not a shield. Then his sub routine changed and the novas stopped. I've gotten it to happen again into corrosive novas but I still can't figure out what exactly is causing it. If figured out we could sit as claptrap and just nova bomb constantly for 99 seconds. That would be very helpful imo!

Also, Handsome Jack is playable next Tuesday! w00t!

 

Here's a conversation starter. Heh.

*takes swig of rum* so all you badasses out there! Bragging time! What's your badass points for borderlands 2 and borderlands pre sequel!? Off the top of my head (according to my vita) in borderlands 2 I have 25k, in pre sequel I have above 5k. I just pulled up the excalibastard last night but I had never tried to before. LOL.

I will check tonight for an exact badass rank but I figured I'd start the ball rolling


So who's the biggest bad ass!?

..

....

.....*looks at Hellstormer (aka a4ad4a4m4). Yeah, I'm pretty sure he has us all beat....
