Seeing a bad movie makes you nostalgic for the game, it makes sense

Sure, but then you'd think Borderlands 2 would be the one getting more attention. It's the best of the series. I mean, c'mon.. Mr. Torgue!

Thanks for doing the leg work! I feel a sense of unearned vindication.

Not even seeing the movie, just media talking about it catches people's attention.
