Borderlands 2 is a space western first-person role-playing shooter video game that was developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games. It is the sequel to 2009's Borderlands and was released for the Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 platforms. As with the first game, Borderlands 2 players complete a campaign consisting of central quests and optional side-missions as one of four vault hunters on the planet Pandora. Key gameplay features from the original game, such as online collaborative campaign gameplay, randomly generated loot - guns, shields and other assorted weaponry - and the character-building elements found in role-playing games, are also found in Borderlands 2.
The game was released to critical acclaim on September 18, 2012. Downloadable content for the game has also been released subsequently.

Now that we have the game introductions out of the way, let's yap some. Been running BL2 solo and with Masa, and we talked about making a thread, but neither of us got around doing so. Until now.
Borderlands 2 is fucking awesome. It's a lot like BL1, only better in pretty much every way. The plot, pacing and humour have vastly improved as well. It's just fun as hell to play.
I play on the PC myself, a good 130 hours down at the time of writing this. Current setups and getups:
Gunzerker - lvl 47 Currently soloing the 2nd playthrough. Maxed out the brawn tree for tankiness. Just managed to score my first ever three vault symbols from the slot machines, and got a nice "Proactive Bitch" as a reward. So I figured I'd run a Hyperion theme, and paired it with another Hyperion smg and equipped a Hyperion +dmg/max accuracy relic.
Siren - lvl 39 This is my duo build, running the 2nd playthrough and Captain Scarlett DLC with Masa's Gunzerker currently. My main weapon is an E-tech elec smg, which has worked pretty nicely. I actually found it with my solo zerker and just passed it on to the Siren. Ah, shared stash <3. I was also using the multi-shot version of the "love gun" but it's starting to get a little underpowered (finally). Cataclysm tree for some nice phaselock DPS and a little bit of healing.
Mechromancer - lvl 18 Secondary solo character, running playthrough 1... Gaige is just so much fun to play with Deathtrap, anarchy and everything. I actually found her a Hellfire smg off the first Scorch I killed... only recently switched to a more potent E-tech smg. Not much in the skill build yet, of course, but I went for the point in Anarchy and then in the BFF tree so I got Upshot Robot (which is amazing).

We found a Scarlett wota with Masa earlier today! His shrine was pretty impressive. Panties, a squeezable Scarlett plushie and everything haha.
Dude would fit right in at Jphip!
Yep, yep... my kind of loot.

So, who else is playing? what are your characters? Fave weapons? Bosses, moments, pics, videos? Try to avoid huge plot spoilers, though.
