Do you guys like that I'm keeping all the content isolated to the OP or would you prefer that I just post content in regular posts as I find it and then link to those posts in the OP? Thanks in advance I'd say put the important and best stuff in the OP (mostly because before long the OP will just get too logged with videos/pictures) and post everything you find too.

I agree, just keep the OP updated with the most relevant info and vids.

The rest can perfectly be posted in the thread (so the regulars don't have to keep going back and forth. I'm lazy, I know).

That Wimomeh trailer really was outstanding, I'm even more pumped for this game now :D

Seriously considering pre-order too, I want that 5th class ASAP :P

This interview is really great, recommended reading for all borderlands fans, and even if you aren't lol

Picked up GOTY edition on Steam a couple days ago. I'll play it when I finish the giant pile of games on my to do list

New info:

BORDERLANDS 2 CAMPAIGN IS 58 HOURS LONG!

In an exclusive interview with GamerZines, Gearbox’s VP of Marketing Steve Gibson has revealed that a recent playthrough of Borderland 2′s campaign took around 58 hours. For any kind of shooter that running time is impressive, especially when you consider that run was only with one of the game’s five different character classes.

We imagine those 58 hours will be much more enjoyable, if you have a bunch of friends to roll with.

“What we like to think about it is, Borderlands is a hobby. Some guide guys just did a playthrough of Borderlands 2 and they reported back to us that it takes 58 hours to play through the campaign – and that’s just one playthrough with one character,” Steve revealed to us proudly.

“So the depth with which people can get into that…Yeah we look at it as a hobby, and that isn’t even counting the new Badass Points system and how that’ll affect every character you do. We want it to feel like you get more for your money, we’re happy for people to pay their money once and feel that they get ongoing value.” 

...

We'll have fun for a looooong time.

^^ Nice! That game alone should tide me over until Halo 4 comes out a couple of months later.

More info! This time about the baddies

Borderlands 2 baddies are smarter than you think

Well, at least the AI programming behind each enemy in Borderlands 2 is smarter than anything in the first Borderlands – the baddies themselves are victims of the rancid planet Pandora and probably wouldn't pass a first-grade spelling test. They will, however, blow your brains out.

Jasper Foreman, lead AI programmer at Gearbox Software, sat down with us (on the floor in a hallway of the Hard Rock Hotel, right outside of San Diego Comic-Con central), to describe a handful of enemies we can expect to see in the new Borderlands and the tech that makes them smarter than ever.

There are 15-20 separate enemies in Borderlands 2, but each type has numerous variants, bringing the total number of foes somewhere between 200-300. Foreman once tried to count them all by running a script, but with the complex descriptors composing each enemy it was impossible to locate every one. Suffice it to say, there are a lot.

That's a lot of enemies! But after the supposed billions of guns of the first Borderlands, I'd take it with a pinch of salt.

Oh, on the link you can also find a description for several of those enemies.

Can't wait for this game. My most hyped GOTY after Halo 4.

Ouch! Sorry to hear that.

Playing through the first Borderlands on PC to get hyped for the sequel. Looking forward to playing 12 hour marathons of this game with my cousin online. If this game is even a little better than the first, it's got major GOTY potential.
