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.

What do BlameFrost and Lion have in common? They have a lot of feelings about video games. And music. And Borderlands. And Myspace. And roleplay. And -- whatever, just listen. It's fun.

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.

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.
