About the moral component of the next and final Borderlands game. I see it close in spirit to the moral of story of Peter Gabriel's OVO.

If Gearbox believe that the target audience is not ready yet, they can make of BL3 another prank like TPS, and i will wait for BL4 where after dispelling the ashes of fallen Babylon must to come the new era of awareness and incredible discoveries.

just listen

I would really love to visted the ruins of Helios in BL3. It would seem like to have as a secondary hub, you know to buy and get missions

That'd fit perfectly in the BL canon. Great work

Thanks!

And now my legend has already become an official canon. HELL YEAH!
I'm really glad, that Telltale have made a right decision and smashed that annoying Babylon right on Pandora like on my concept!

Now remains just to add some water and grow forests... Soon the ruins of boring offices of the evil corp will become a stunning location for the future game.

And that's how the legends comes out.

At the foot of the ancient ruins rose a strong tribe calls itself Children of Helios.
According to the legend, Helios was a spoiled son of Hyperion.
Hyperion was the one of the Titans like Atlas and Dahl.
But Hyperion became too ignorant and immoral, so he lost his soul, and so from the great creator he turned into stupid and faceless daemon.
Several long cycles he was exuding his stinking senseless evilness to beautiful and mysterious Pandora, as long as his own vileness not burned him from inside.
But strong and beautiful Pandora showed mercy for Children of Helios even after their despicable origins and instructed them to not to be assholes anymore...

Oops, spoilers!

Cool song , by the way

Congratulations on predicting one of the greatest and the most jaw dropping moments in the BL canon. When I saw your work, I could not believe it, yet I was mesmerized. The same feelings occured again to me when I saw the beggining of TFTB Episode 5. So once again, great job.


And about that cool song, you know that it was used in TFTB credits, right?

Thanks a lot again!
Huh... i thought it was so calm, predictable and commonplace moment О_о

In BL1 the Moon was one of the most important expressive elements of the environment, so alive and mysterious, with its own atmosphere and dynamic lighting... I with my friend sometimes stopped just to gaze at it like in real life...

But then appeared this ugly H construction... as cancer, personifying moral and spiritual decay.
I realized that this thing must be destroyed when I just saw it first time at the very beginning of BL2
It would be quite fine to crumble it into a black hole... but I suggested a more rational usage of resources.

Time heals festering stinking wounds, turning them into sexy scars.
But defeated disease won't cease to remind of itself like phantom pain in missing limb...

You know, actually I expected from TFTB final episode some sort of feeling of celebration and triumph, so I felt a bit uncomfortable when it happened so calmly and I felt absolutely nothing... I was so indifferent about everything that happened as though I've already seen it a hundred times...
Then I had watched 10 episodes of Mr. Robot and felt a bit better when I saw so similar situation and feeling... perhaps, it is Okay to be already busy with something more important while Babylon finally falls.


And about the song. Yes, of course, I made this collage in social network only after ep5 ^_^

If to put all songs and stuff from Way of the Hunter and TFTBL in chronological order it turns out like interesting dialogue... hmm... I keep torturing myself with the question; Were they doing it on purpose or it's all just correct logical algorithm... Anyway, legends of Mordecai's travels are more inportant and interesting! I won't take the easy road, biatch!

Your art makes me love Borderlands even more, 'cause I can see that you like the same things about the series as me, dirt and sand not some freakin' moon. Great job, I love it.
