    Thanks from Estonia for picking up the story! Props to Kathleen for interweaving the quite obscure Commonwealth of Independent States into the narrative while avoiding the mistake of other gaming news sources of suggesting that Estonia and Lithuania were part of it.

    Oh, and screw Latvia. :D

    Yes she does, froggerpro. Also she shows off some smarts, and that is actually super-hot.

    Dammit, now I have a crush on her.

    [Edit: "shows OFF some smarts", not "of some smarts". Stupid keyboard.]

    I made this account just because I was floored by how incredibly hot kathleen looks in this video.

    OH my god, you CANNOT make a joke that funny while I'm at work trying to justify MY degree. Laughed so loud and had to explain what was going on to the cubes next to me.

  • dmautzdmautz Registered User regular
    Someone must make an anigif of Graham nodding his head at the end there. Also yes, Kathleen is super hawts in this episode.

    Of course, the real question with the creeper mob is will it work like the creeper mobs in Minecraft? As in "coming out of nowhere, hearing a half second Ssssss.. Then killing the player causing a ragequit?

  • Peter EbelPeter Ebel CopenhagenRegistered User regular
    Good on Kathleen for laying out the beefs the Baltic peeps.

    Fuck off and die.

    Did she actually study political science? Kudos, if so.

  • BaloogyMcBoyBaloogyMcBoy Registered User regular
    Woo! PoliSci! I'd watch a show of Kathleen teaching me political history and erm... sciences?

    @Lordlundar: Yeah, actually. Who wants to bet that the creeper will be the last mob around, blowing you up and leaving you sprawled out on the ground, fumbling for your meat-paster rocket-launcher and crying out, "Why are there no more enemies for my second wind?!"

    I really do have a degree in Poli-sci! I'm also super flattered the episode was so well received. :D

    To be just, the matter with the Borderlands 2 CIS has been settled - we get both that and the ROW version.
    Kudos from a russian political degree owner (=

  • adembroskiadembroski Registered User new member
    I am a game designer with a poly-sci degree myself. I know how you feel.

    Political scientists represent! Now that I have you all here, how do we fix this "politics" problem?

    Well, it's official. BioWare is dead. I hope Riccitiello got that $4.9 million bonus from his wheeling and dealings at Elevation Partners. And all he had to do was screw over one of the greatest RPG companies of all time!

    You forgot the "the" in Zone of the Enders" I demand a refund for your inaccurate research! JK good episode.

    Steam doesn't seem to get much controversy. I wonder if this will continue.

  • sarassaras Registered User new member
    Bugger, didn't know that. I was coming here for entertainment, I wasn't exactly expecting to get something directly relevant to my interests from a New Zealander in a Canadian team, making a show for Americans. Anyway, guess I won't be checking out Borderlands after all(I'm Lithuanian).

  • thenameless685thenameless685 Registered User regular
    i would watch diz again just to see kathleen

  • DJ_BunceDJ_Bunce Registered User regular
    I love how many people here have commented on how good looking Kathleen is... Graham is a lucky guy... XD

    Back on topic though, that bit at the end was really insightful. It's like that time when Cam broke out the chemistry lecture... More of that please :)

    For what? Sitting next to her?

    @Kathleen_LRR thanks for letting the spiraly earrings have a rest. I was beginning to think you were wearing them nonstop just because I commented on how they made me cringe. Though it seems more likely it was because everyone else liked them.

    Makes sense that Konami would bundle a MGS demo with the ZOE HD collection.

    I'm wondering how Kathleen managed to spend $35,000 on a Poli Sci degree in Canada :P
