Borderlands 2 is Officially 20% Cooler + Quick Question

Unbelievable. We're finally making it into games. Gearbox, I love you. (Check out the names of some of the skills)

Do you guys think it's good that we're getting this kind of recognition? I certainly do. They're subtle references, so the haters will barely have any idea what's going on. I think we could do with some more of these. :)

I think it's just taking advantage of current trends to make funny jokes. Y'know, pop humour. Something that is funny now, but down the line, people won't care.

I personally think it's just some humour and the idea that we're 'making it into games' is a bit silly. It's just some words!

Borderlands 2 is fantastic regardless of references anyway.

Well, I don't think it's about "making it into games", I think it's more about the fandom growing. It's not just a selfish thing, bronies are actually changing the way society works. When I see things like this, I kinda freak out cause I know that the phenomenon is bigger than I think.

We bronies have grown to the point where many people are aware of us and we have impacted the internet, and to a small extent 'the world', in ways no one could of predicted. Men watching MLP and changing societies gender stereotypes in a way is a 'revolution' and people are now recognizing it a legitimate thing and not just an internet fan group.

I like seeing stuff like this in the real world, a nod to the community; neither judging or supporting it, many people will miss it altogether but its there.

And yes, borderlands is a fantastic game, I am going to play some more right now.

Now with that out of the way, I feel that they should stop with the references already. A very subtle reference here and there is okay, but they already had arrow to the knee jokes, and a Minecraft cave, and a double rainbow all the way across the sky... What's done is done though, and it's not that big of a deal.

I actually haven't played it yet, but I may when I get the chance.

Also, they already had someone in the credits of the game give a shout out to Fluttershy.
