[QUOTE="marcoasalazarm, post: 6727474, member: 26698"] Awesome. All right, having bought the first two "Borderlands" games and having gone through my first play through of number one (and currently starting with first play through of Number Two), I have decided about putting Borderlands stuff on The Line. Some stuff is going to be built based on votes on my DevArt page (as said before)... ...so, first decision: Torgue Corporation. It's not "Torgue". It's "Torgue-Urdnot" (read "No Gods, Only Guns"-it's BL/ME by the guy who made the "Firefly" fic "Forward" and it's hard-core Crazy Awesome). And what you need to expect from Torgue/Urdnot is weapons design stylistic choices that scream "Testosterone Poisoning" (or "Death By NASCAR" or "Tim Taylor Would Love This Thing") and pack NASTY punch. NASTY. Talking about stopping power? More like PUNCH PEOPLE IN THE FACE LIKE A FREIGHT TRAIN power. And lots of explosions. Even their most vanilla weapons carry grenade launchers as accessories. Mass Effect hand-cannons and plain cannons that come standard with high-explosive rounds. And their lasers (I know that Torgue rips against Lasers on the "Pre-Sequel", but he seems to love lasers on the ad for the same game (especially Laser Shotguns and the "Ghostbuster"-style beams), so I'm going to split the difference and say that he loves lasers that fit his purviews and don't just go "pew-pew") fire *pure explosive energy* (imagine the lightning gun from "District Nine" and apply its effects to ANYTHING THAT THE LASER HITS-rock, metal, glass and yes, people). And, oh yeah, their ads involve much SHOUTING and OVERUSE OF THE CAPS LOCK KEY. Their stores sound like a hooligan convention. They hired Mister Satan as one of their spokesmen (FUNimation VA for him is Chris Rager, and both Mr. Satan and Torgue sound exactly the same... only Torgue is Constantly Shouting) and their first ads on The Line?
