I was thinking this when the first Borderlands came out. Everybody went nuts for it but it seemed like the most boring thing ever

Of course, the real killer for me was the humour dean-frown

Looking back, the writing of BL2 caused two moments of cognitive dissonance at different points in time for me.

First playthrough, I was tricked into thinking I was part of a mini-zeitgeist for gaming with all the epic references.

Second time around, years later, my good friend and I ripped it all to shreds and had a good fucking time!! But I still felt that clashing, sharpening stone-like feeling when everything collides.
