You, Sir, are a genius.

Newp. I have zero points in the sniping tree. I just hit 33 and every point, save for the one I just got at 33, has gone into Bloodshed.

Completely untrue. I nabbed a sniper from Dunkio's mom and was hitting the Sheriff for 14,000 per head shot. I soloed her both with Zero and Axton. Shock weapons are most certainly not "absolutely needed." Both characters were level 30 at the time, with the Sheriff being 31.

Your assumption is incorrect: it was not developed alongside the game. It was developed once the game went off to certification and printing. So, to answer your question, yes, it would be too much to ask for this to be free, seeing as they were paying people to do the work on this DLC.

I will agree with you on the Combat Rifles. I've really only found one that I am comfortable using.

Then don't buy it. Problem solved for you there, Precious.

They actually did tone down some of the stuff because of objections raised by the ESRB and from other countries being a little squeamish.

Or, you can go to Toys R Us like I did and buy the official Claptrap for $8.

Alex, pull the stick out of your ass. That was an absolutely harmless and obvious joke.

Were you surprised at the hit that Borderlands became? Did you have sales figures you had hoped to reach?

Hi! I'm the English language! I'd like to introduce you to a wondrous new invention I like to call "hyperbole." You see, with this new invention, which has not been around for hundreds of years, I can take an ordinary saying, such as, "I was so hungry I ate a lot," and, with the help of hyperbole, change it to, "I…

I wish I had stock in Gearbox. Sadly, no: I have little patience for fallacious arguments.

I said nothing to do with -your- machine, but Steam itself. If we're going to play hypothetical, why not really play?

What happens when Steam shuts down?

So, you're going to piss and moan about a different company that screwed you out of DLC that was on the disc, when Gearbox never did that? Way to create a false analogy. Thumbs up!

Did you play the first Borderlands? How's about the DLC? No? Then you really and truly are ignorant of what you speak. Gearbox produces high quality DLC that is worth every penny. $30 is a terrific deal based on what they have produced before.

Know what you get when you download the DLC to your HD? DlC that is no beholden to a server.

Did you even play the first Borderlands? Did you even play the DLC?

I can only speak for myself, but I hope that one apology is enough to start the ball rolling.

This feature already is in the U.S. Nearly every MMO out there has this. Most choose to not use it.
