This was my first thought back when they announced the film. I love the Borderlands games, but they're like 90% proc-gen guns and bullet-sponge enemies, and 10% narrative. Without a dramatically punched up story, this movie was doomed from the start to be a hammy Hollywood version of a "Let's Play" video.

Essentially.

The longer version is David Eddings was the Vice President of Business Development at Gearbox, and voiced Claptrap in Borderlands and Borderlands 2, for either very little or no extra pay. He left Gearbox, and CEO Randy Pitchford said some things about Eddings in an interview which led to a back-and-forth Twitter argument, allegations of assault and fraud against Pitchford, and a lawsuit. It was all big news while it happened but I can't find much info now about where it landed, except that Gearbox found somebody else to voice Claptrap after that.

I was kinda hoping they'd work things out and get him for the movie, but, alas...

This photo of Trump looks like the illustration for a Magic The Gathering card for "Withered Ghoul" or something like that.

My partner is T1D. When I see stories like this pop up, I am hopeful, but I generally don't share them with her because these revolutionary discoveries are always "x years away." This sounds amazing and if it works as well as it sounds here, it would absolutely change lives.

Ducked around and found out, even.

This was my first thought as well. Actual jail time seems a more fitting sentence for a violent criminal, this is more like a sit-com premise.

Their tribal gear was a flap with a hole for their face.

This makes them sound like idiots... They also cut two smaller holes in the flap, for their ears.
