The Queue: I missed you Claptrap!

Claptrap is one of my top favorite video-game characters of all time. There’s something so endearing about a tiny robot that is so annoying that everybody in the game hates him. He gets just the right amount of annoying traits to earnest desires for friends to rage-filled tirades against the jerks who steal his stuff that it shouldn’t work — but it does! It’s a tough line to walk for any character, and someone this poorly designed, one-wheeled, one-eyed little guy makes it work.

Borderlands 4 has been good fun so far! The team has put together a really solid, fun, looter-shooter that takes the best parts of the previous five games and adds some new stuff to speed up the movement a bit. Summoning your vehicle anywhere with basically no cooldown is a game-changer and really takes the slog out of the early zone once you get it. I also really like how the game’s humor has gotten a bit more focused than the last game. It’s still got jokes galore and funny moments, but I haven’t seen as much pop-culture referencing that popped up in Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands. There’s nothing specifically wrong with reference humor; it’s just not going to last as long as a well-written joke.

While I go and open like five more giant glowing chests full of weapons, it’s time for — The Queue!
