Depends if you want more of a challenge. The raid bosses' level is determined by the VH mode you're in. True VH yields level 52 raid bosses. Ultimate VH mode will put them at 63. VH mode is set by the host.

I've heard the Mania skill tree described as "energizer bunny from hell." Boards are buzzing that he will be a bitch and a half to knock down and bleed out. He gets exponentially more dangerous as his health gets lower. I assume you'll need to drop him half a dozen times before FFYL mode runs out quick enough to kill him.

cool. i was wondering when they were releasing him, looks like May 14. I'll prolly have to drop another $10 on this game even though i haven't played it much lately. I've been getting the itch too though, i have all the DLC's and haven't been through all of them yet.

I keep meaning to meet up with my buddy who's got a L50 Siren so I can farm a few guns my own level. I hear the Witch Doctors from the Hammerlock DLC are still a bitch, though. Pretty much everything in that DLC was beating my ass.

Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep will be the fourth and final piece of downloadable content released free for Season Pass holders, although not necessarily the final DLC released. Not much is known about it yet, outside of the fact that it involves a tabletop game similar to Dungeons and Dragons. It will be released on 25 June 2013.

Dude, "black" is totally a language. Or dialect. Or something. As history records, "badonkadonk" was the term evil white slavers used when referring to the ass of their female captives. It is clearly racist.

Got tired of doing Jimmy Jenkins runs and not finding him. Figured since my guns were around the Motor Mamma mission level, I'd try again. After I learned she can't blast rockets through the scaffolding, it got easier to take out her bike. When she was on foot, I could literally run circles around her and melee. She got off one lucky shot that one-hit me. Fortunately, her bike was available for second wind purposes. Finally got her. Just took getting the guns up to the proper level. Now that I have the infinite TORGUE tokens mission, I can at least keep up with the pace in that DLC.

Bought the Psycho, Krieg. Report to follow. Got about an hour for a test drive.

Did the L45 Tier 1 Bandit Circle of Slaughter (first arena) as a L50 Zero with L47 gear. After a couple attempts at failing to get the optional objective, I rethought my strategy as the badass waves gave me much annoyance.

The gear sucks against critters hovering at L50. Not a lot of elemental spread, either ... too much corrosive.

Tiny Tina just started tweeting...

Look for the expansion pack with her new personality soon.

Sounds like her. Although in this case "her" would probably be Anthony Burch. But it could possibly be Ashly, the Tina character is basically just an amped-up aged-down version of her usual HAWP character.

i played a little yesterday with my lvl 36 Axton on the third DLC and someone showed me how to spawn this giant 20 story four legged spider thing. Took 3 of us about 20-30 mins to kill.. and that was still on the first playthrough!!

It just reminded me of how much i love playing this game. Max level is now 69 (i think), and all the new content they keep putting in. Like guns that shoot swords!?!?!!! Fuck me, i'm hooked again.

Yeah, the Hammerlock DLC ... those dudes are drifters. I remember them from BL1. You have to shoot the eyes/lights/hotspots on their otherwise earth tone body. They drop quickly. Otherwise, blasting through their damage resistance takes way too much ammo.

hilarious video about Krieg.

I haven't played him yet, but his personality is absolutley perfect.

Also, how do i post videos so that you can play them right from the board and not have to link to another page?
