DLC Required

Happy holidays! It's a new season of DLC Required, and we have one of the coolest guests ever joining us to take a peek inside the writers room of Borderlands 4. 

You may know Narrative Director Sam Winkler (Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, Borderlands 3, Borderlands 4) as a writer on some of your favorite games, or you may know him as That Guy From Twitter. 

Dive into the making of Borderlands 4, the minds behind it, and a shockin...

The Borderlands Hunt is a community-ran event where people race to collect every drop in a Borderlands game while raising money for St. Jude Play Live. Today, April 4th, is the kick-off of Borderlands 2 Hunt Before the Storm, our last BL2 Hunt before the launch of Borderlands 4. With luck (and all your support), this Hunt we'll cross HALF A MILLION DOLLARS for St. Jude Play Live. It's INSANE.

To talk about why w...

We finally have a release date for the hotly anticipated Borderlands 4. Obviously, K6, Joltz, and I had to sit down and break it down. What will the gunplay be like? Movement mechanics?!?! Does story matter? Should Joltz make a weapon tier list? Join all of this plus other tangents as we count down the days til the next BL4 reveal.

Ki11erSix returns to DLC Required on the heels of the BORDERLANDS 4 ANNOUNCEMENT at Gamescom. We immediately just start ranting without any context, but I swear it gets more sane. We're just excited. We answer some of your questions, talk about the upcoming Borderlands Hunt (for the kids!). and -- as always -- food.

Torbin has been working in video games for decades. He likes to remind people of that. You may know him from Dreamhack. You may know him as the Senior Community Manager at Daybreak Games. You may know him as a legend. You may know him as infuriating. Lion and Torbin banter for far too long about the Nintendo Switch vs Steam Deck, Overwatch mains, best video games of all time, and how many hours is too many hours in a game.

Lion and Hawkin make a drink and talk very fast about things they love. Hawkin makes the case for their Top 5 Games list and spicy things. Lion gets distracted by dice and tells embarrassing stories. Two lore nerds dive into DND, video games, coffee, fluidity, and much, much more. Spoiler: you're not ready for Glitterbomb.

Gas, Miq, and Lion unite to talk in circles and gang up on each other about Borderlands stuff, and IMPORTANT stuff, like what type of french fry is the best fry. They accidentally ranted for, like, six hours. Here are the highlights.

What does it take to make a Borderlands cosplay? Where do you even start? What is Fortnite? Is Gearbox actually teasing Borderlands 4? Recorded on the heels of the FIRST BORDERLANDS MOVIE TRAILER, Paskaroni joins Lion for a return episode full of laughter, rage, and a Paskaroni original song.

MCMDesigns is BACK. The man with the majestic mustache (and fellow Supermassive Game superfan) returns to rant all things Until Dawn, The Quarry, and Dark Pictures Anthology. From Tier Lists and a regrettable round of smash or pass to our favorite moments and thoughts on the recently announced Until Dawn movie, it's a hell of a ride.
