Five Ways to Celebrate ‘Borderlands 2′ Launch Day

Sep 18, 2012 | Forbes

Borderlands 2 was one of the most anticipated video games of 2012. But as of an hour ago, it’s Gearbox’s newest (for those of us in the United States, anyway; the UK has three more days of waiting time) AAA title. From all accounts, the sequel is like Borderlands but only more so. That means more guns, more enemies, and if you can believe it, more attitude.

Time to start playing. And while we’re warming up our keyboard/gamepad fingers, we have a few minutes to delve into this:

1. Listen to Dan Bull’s NSFW Borderlands 2 rap

With lines like, “Locking and loading, I know what to do, now who am I going to shoot?” It’ll get you in the mood to enjoy Borderland 2‘s many, many  weapons.

2. Cosplay a Psycho. Or even Mad Moxxi

Sadly, I can’t pull photos from random Internet sites, so it’s nothing but links for me.

But there are some awesome photos here.

And here.

And here. (“Strip the flesh! Salt the wound!”)

3. Dance like a claptrap

Come on everybody, get down. And I know just the song you should be getting down to:

4. Take this trivia quiz

Fans of Borderlands should enjoy this ten-question quiz. Don’t like it? Create your own.

5. Watch a Borderlands marriage proposal

Geeky weddings and geeky wedding proposals are quite the thing. Here’s one, Claptrap-style.
