WOAHHHH! Holy shit you guys! A new trailer for a brand new Borderlands game just dropped just now on Youtube! So you know what that means!? Everyone’s gonna be doing trailer reaction breakdowns and trend surf for that sweet sweet ad revenue. SO OF COURSE I’M GOING TO TWO!
The trailer begins with a view of space. For those reading who are unaware of what space is, and I’m sure it’s maybe about like 95% of you, space is the expanse that exists beyond Earth’s Atmosphere and between celestial bodies and by extension, the expanse beyond the planet of Pandora which most of the Borderlands games are set in. Space has also been shown in multiple forms of media over the decades from stuff like Star Wars, Star Trek, Battlestar Galaxtica, Guardians of the Galaxy, Futurama, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Paper Mario, Sonic Adventure 2, Magic School Bus, Spla…

Crash Bandicoot, Bayonetta and Firefly. However, do not think of going out into space in real life because there is no air in space and you will suffocate and die a slow and painful death including you head likely exploding. It is also made up of lots of stars which we can see ourselves in the trailer. Oh, you don’t know what stars are either. Well, you see, stars are luminous spheroid of plasma held together by self-gravity. The nearest star to earth is the sun. You know, that big orange ball you see when you look up at the sky every day that makes everything super-hot? Not to be confused with the game Super Hot with is a game that was release back on the 25th of February 2016 and was developed by the SUPERHOT Team. The game revolves around the idea that time only moves when you do, and you must clear levels by…

And that’s why I think just by looking at this trailer alone we can tell that stars are likely going to play a massive role this new Borderlands game. And if they don’t, I’m going to boycott the shit out of this game and I’ll want my money back!
Anyway, now we get into the 2 second mark of this trailer and suddenly on the worlds flash “2K GAMES Presents.” Obviously, this game is being presented by 2K games but who are they I hear you ask? Well, 2K games are a gaming publisher that was originally founded as a subsidiary of Take-Two Interactive who you might recognise as the people who are also associated with Rockstar games. Who are Rockstar games you ask? Well, if you have ever played a Grand Theft Auto game in your life then you would of likely heard of these people as they are the developers…

… and then certain user data got stolen and put up for sale.
Anyway a few seconds later when then get some more text telling us “A Gearbox Software game” and Gearbox Software are the developers of the Borderlands series starting with the first game in 2009 however there history actually goes a lot deeper than that as they were originally founded limited liability company in February of 1999 by five developers who were formally part of Rebel Boat Rockers. What are Rebel Boat Rockers? Well, they were a game development studio founded by a man named Billy Zelsnack who is man that…
*Seriously, if I actually went over EVERY bit of history behind this stuff for the sake of a dumb joke journal, I’m pretty sure the Bible would end up being shorter!*
Then, after the big text goes away, we see the Firehawks Insignia flame up in the space. As I’m sure most of us REAL FANS who have played this series since day one and have played nothing but this series for the rest of our lives know the Firehawk is what the character Lilith was called during the events of Borderlands 2. However, Lillith herself has a lot of history in the Borderlands series. She was one of the four playable characters in the original game and is widely considered to be the most overpowered character in that game thanks to her skills focusing on elemental damage. But she has an even deeper history in this series than that as her backstory is that she was a siren who were a group of supernatural beings gifted extraordinary powers which we are also told in a side mission in Borderlands 2 that only six of them can exist in the universe at any given time. That side mission being the one where you have to hunt down and kill…
*Is this joke about how long analysis videos can go on for un-funny yet?*
Then suddenly is transforms into Pandoras moon of Elpis. Elpis was a major key part of Borderlands The Pre Sequel which as you can tell from its name is a combination of the terms Prequel and Sequel.... Oh, what’s that? You don’t know what those terms mean? Don’t worry, that’s why I’m here to explain it. You see, a prequel is a new instalment in a franchise taking place before the events of a certain entry while a sequel takes place after one. Borderlands the Pre Sequel was released in 2014 by 2K Australia why as there name suggests were an Australian based studio. Australia is a country that while is was technically founded by some Portuguese guy that no one cares about it was truly founded by a British Sailor named Captain Cook. Captain Cook founded the country of Australia after…
*Okay you know what, let’s just skip to the end of this video, I got shit to do!*
And that’s why I think the writing at the end is saying “Buy Crypto Suckers!” And that’s it! That is everything I could get from this trailer after spending hours of my life going over every little detail. I’d like to thank you for reading this new journal and hope you all learned something new.
