Chapter 1: What news about Borderlands 4 is revealed?
Of course, I've always loved Forza Horizon, or at least ever since Forza Horizon 3, I've been big into Forza Horizon. Fucking love those games. My favorite racing game franchise right next to Burnout, right? They're like kind of neck and neck at this point. It has been so long. I don't have like deep impressions because it is just the same game ported to PlayStation 5, but now I'm playing on PS5.
And man, when I talk about how much time I have been like spreading between multiple different video games, this is one of the games that I'm talking about.
oh really yeah where i'm like man it would be nice for me to go and finish expedition 33 because i'm halfway through that game but i got blueprints post game yelling at me i got forza horizon 5 a game i've already played but like i gotta give it already played but i fucking love forza horizon it's that thing where that game is like a breath of fresh air it is like a cold glass of water on a summer day it is give me another one
We still have lemonade, but we can figure out something there.
It's like a glass of mimosa on a Sunday brunch.
Oh, okay. Come on, bro. Come on, bro.
oh dude it's funny in chat says a cold brew i do like a cold brew as well um i'll forza forza horizon 5 is still fucking good and like it's one of those things where i was like i'm just gonna boot it up for the experience yeah of being able to like re-experience it again and like play the intro because they do such a good job of good vibes in the forza horizon is that one where they have like a welcome yes forza horizon 5 and you're in mexico
mexico yeah you're in mexico so good right you're fucking racing like um a fucking helicopter or no you're racing like a yes yes it was the helicopter helicopter but the helicopter like drops to here's the thing you're racing all different kinds of vehicles in all these games i think in forza horizon 3 you race a train and one of them you race the vehicle from halo but in this one you start off and like they drop two motorcycles from the sky and you race to the finish it's so fucking good the game looks so fucking good on ps5 tell me how it feels though
Oh, it feels fantastic. What's the haptics? Oh, they're using all the haptics. They are? Yeah. Oh, they're using all the haptics in that thing. It's kind of crazy how much Xbox is supporting the PlayStation 5 DualSense.

Chapter 2: What are the implications of Borderlands 4's release date change?
Chapter 3: What is the significance of the State of Play for Borderlands 4?
This is just straight up copy and pasting this from Xbox. It's like, no, that game is fucking...
optimized on playstation and it works it is so fucking good man that makes me happy i i was going i was playing a little bit of oblivion right i have no uh any type of uh nostalgia for oblivion specifically i never played it never touch it never even watched like videos of it right so this is a new experience to me and it just feels like an old game and that's not negative because i know it's exactly what that is and it works for a lot of people just doesn't work for me right yeah but
It made me feel like, man, I want a Skyrim remake. So then I downloaded Skyrim. You want a Skyrim? Do you know what's crazy?
You're not crazy for saying that, but it sounds crazy in my brain because I'm like, Skyrim just came out.
Of course, yeah. And then I booted up Skyrim. I'm like, oh, this is an old game.
Well, it did. It did just come out for the Neo Geo Pocket Edition. You're right. Skyrim just got ported somewhere else.
No matter where you've been in the last 14 years, Jesus Christ, Skyrim has always just come out somewhere.
And it's a new special edition somehow, you know what I mean? You go there, you think you have the right edition, it's like, no, you have the anniversary edition.
Play as a grown man in a Link cosplay.

Chapter 4: How do the hosts feel about the Borderlands franchise?
And you know what? I'm telling this to Miyazaki. You don't need a swamp in every single one of your games. What about South of Midnight? You're allowed a swamp because that's the deep south.
i'm just trying to figure it out where does this lie no i like this i like this keep poking holes in this okay okay but just in general like if you're making a game that could be anywhere yes why the fuck we put in a swamp well it's it's the fact that i'm just sick of it because with swamp comes poison and with slow and slow that's the two things no no no i don't know slow no no no what about swamp with no no slow is there poison
Yes.
All right. A little bit. No swamp. No swamp. What about just swamp with just nothing else? Just swamp. You're just walking around a swamp.
I might be okay with it.
Okay. You just don't like the negatives attached to the swamp.
I just don't like the negative properties that get applied with swamp. Okay, okay, okay. We can figure that out.
We can figure that out. Yeah, we can.
We can be a part of the PR team that sells people on why swamps are good.

Chapter 5: What are the potential impacts of GTA 6 on Borderlands 4?
Exactly. In Demon's Souls, they put the remake, they put like a little ring that you can attach where I think it makes you, you can walk through the swamps or whatever. So they kind of made it a little better.
But my pitch... And we can start a consulting agency. I like this. What are the other environments that we can add to every video game?
See, I don't like. See, here's the issue. I'm kind of a hater on all environments.
On all environments?
Most environments. I like jungle. You just hate everything? I like jungle. I like jungle.
This man hates outside.
I jungle. I like jungle. I hate desert. Oh, no. I'm with you on desert.
Kind of don't like frost. Top three. And we're going to talk about Borderlands in a second. Top three worst environments. Swamp. Desert. Underwater. I'm fine with Underwater.
Underwater over-hated. Underwater over-hated. It depends on the... It's because of Mario 64 and all these fucking games that did it poorly. Everyone got all mad. Legend of Zelda, Ocarina, fucking... I'm saying a lot of games did it poorly back in the day, but then a lot of games have done it pretty okay recently. Yeah. Do I know any of those games off the top of my head? No.
