It’s just over a month to the Borderlands 2 launch, and you’re stuck at work putting cover sheets on TPS reports instead of rootin’, tootin’, and six-gun skag shootin’. There’s an app for that! As part of the Borderlands 2 marketing campaign, Gearbox has dropped a free browser-based version of the, uh, “original” Borderlands<\/a> to keep you busy. That’s the original 16-bit version from 1989, of course.<\/p>\n

Okay, so technically it didn’t exist before yesterday, but that’s not the point. <\/em>Besides, if you believe in something hard enough, it becomes real. It’s true because I read it somewhere on the internet.<\/p>\n

“Borderlands wasn’t always the slick, handsome bastard of a game it is today! Go old skool and play the 1989 16-bit original to see how it all began,” said Borderlands robostar, Claptrap. “I can’t believe how young I look!”<\/p>\n

I can’t believe how old I feel. ;___;<\/p>\n

Remember to read all of our Borderlands 2 coverage<\/a> every single day to keep that hype dial maxed out.<\/p>\n
