I coulda sworn it was the Chariots of Fire theme, but I don't entirely remember. Maybe it was one of those "this is a clear homage to a certain song but for copyright purposes we tweaked it a little" songs that the video crew had in their library.

Jeff's disappointed tone in that Borderlands review is pretty hype deflating, especially for someone who found the first game only fun for the first 10 or so hours before it became boring and repetitive.

Is this when we start complaining about the score? lol

HEY GUYS JEFF IS JADED!!!
hehe
Sounds good for fans of the original. Borderlands is a game that I wanted to like because it seemed fun for co-op (which I usually really enjoy), but I couldn't really get into it. The world, art style, and gunplay didn't do anything for me.
Edit: watching the Quick Look reminds me how annoying the snowflakes/rain/blood/whatever on the camera thing is. Wish games would drop that convention.

It looks like an iterative refinement rather than a significant leap forward. Fine for those who loved the first game, but I think I'll wait until it's cheap on Steam.

Yup, just like the first one.

What's next, no sword slicing of fruit thrown at you on the streets? I thought this was America.

Great, CBS is already trying to ruin the magic!

Well, with Vinny being fired and Brad leaving, I guess Giantbomb is done....
Nah, since Drew will dress up like a lady and win the big archery tournament, thus saving everything.
Premium stream is now up. Hate that they're calling it the snakepit though. It was called Piper's Pit. I think they are confusing it with Slash's Snakepit.

They had a short co-op session in the BLLSL this year.
I'm sure a proper quicklook will follow though!

Really enjoying the premium stream. Hearing Dave and Alexis talking about random shit is pretty good.

With the way Jeff has been quickly dismissing proper quick looks of games that have received prior coverage lately I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see one (at least Mark of the Ninja and Borderlands 2 got the quick look treatment). Gotta make sure the website coasts on as little content as possible.

I think they might do a co-op Torchlight 2 TNT instead.

Nothing being scheduled for the week so far is disappointing.

the timing of china don't care is impeccable because apparently china does seem to care about stuff these days.
Did they say Snakepit in the middle of the broadcast? Seem to remember them saying "Snider's Pit"

They called it Snider's Snakepit all through the show.
Lasted longer than me. I found it boring and repetitive after 10 minutes because the loot wasn't good and the gunplay just wasn't fun. It's why I'm not hyped for Boredlands 2 and am scratching my head at all the people pre-ordering/hype-training it up. :/
Of course, I forced myself to finish it and platinum it before the DLC hit because it was a rather easy Platinum.
BL2 is my first Borderlands experience, and after about 3 hours I think it's amazing. I'm playing as Zero. Even though I don't have melee weapons yet I feel like a badass. Going invisible only to pop up at point blank range and fire a shotgun into an enemy's dome is not getting old.
It's funny that immediate first impressions from game unveilings so often turn out accurate.
I love Borderlands, but from the get-go people observed that there doesn't seem to be much new about it, a very iterative sequel - so far what I've played feels like Borderlands 1.5.
Would have loved to see Borderlands 2 fully become the 'FPS Diablo 2' by offering full body loot, randomised 'dungeons', ladders etc.
Oh well, there's always Borderlands 3.

fuckin' called it, man
Ya but it keeps with the alliteration of Piper's Pit though.
Snider sounds like Piper but doesn't have the alliteration.
Important things like this must be sorted out.

Dave called it "Snider's Pit", while Ryan tended to insert the "Snake" part when referencing it.

I completely missed the BLLSL the other day, and I have a question-
What is the best order to view these in? Premium stuff first and then the BLLSL or the other way around?

I have done this a few times now, and I always have mixed results. I'll either end up hating the game more and more, or I will begin to find some glint of something to like about it. Perhaps it's stockholm syndrome, but it has made me like some games a little more when I finished playing through them.
I've been catching up on the show itself first and planning on doing Premium stuff second. I don't think there's any 'right' way to do it as they were running simultaneously, so just go for one!
