WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THING TO EXPLODE?

I THINK YOU WOULD BE GREAT FRIENDS WITH THESE GUYS
THEY DID AN AMA TOO
WHY IS TORGUE NOT THE ONLY MANUFACTURER ON PANDORA? WE DON'T NEED ANYTHING ELSE, SO WHY ARE THEY THERE?
SEE THIS GUY GETS IT

Torgue bullets are flawed
My precision requires speed

MR. TORGUE:
EVER HAD A PROBLEM WITH PREMATURE EXPLOSIONS?
NO
MAYBE
YES
SHUT UP
MR. TORGUE HAS SPOKEN. TAKE YOUR PICK.
ALEX, I'LL TAKE "SHUT UP" FOR 400

IF A TREE EXPLODES IN A FOREST AND NO ONE IS AROUND TO SEE IT, DOES IT MAKE AN EXPLOSION?
MY HEAD HURTS NOW
THANKS JERK
LOOKS LIKE SOMEBODY REMOVED THE TEXT OF MY POST CAUSE I'M TOO EXPLOSIVE AND/OR THEY DIDN'T THINK MY EXPLOSIVENESS WAS GENUINE
PROOF SON https://twitter.com/GearboxSoftware/status/270620010341359616
MAYBE YOU SHOULD POST TO /r/borderlands WE GODDAMN LOVE YOU.
WHO DOESN'T ҉
Approved. Just to be clear for everyone else, so that we don't have a rash of people pretending to be fictional characters: it's fine if you personally fit the rules and could do an IAmA. Mr. Burch is also welcome to do one out of character. But if you're just a fan who wants to impersonate your favorite character, please take it to /r/fictionalIAMA or /r/casualIAmA. Thanks!

YOUR APPROVAL LACKS EXPLOSIONS AND THUS I DON'T APPROVE OF YOUR APPROVAL
FUCK DA POLICE
APPROVED!! JUST TO BE CLEAR FOR EVERYONE ELSE, SO THAT WE DON'T HAVE A RASH OF PEOPLE PRETENDING TO BE FICTIONAL CHARACTERS: IT'S FINE IF YOU PERSONALLY FIT THE RULES AND COULD DO AN IAMA! MR. BURCH IS ALSO WELCOME TO DO ONE OUT OF CHARACTER! BUT IF YOU'RE JUST A FAN WHO WANTS TO IMPERSONATE YOUR FAVORITE CHARACTER, PLEASE TAKE IT TO /R/FICTIONALIAMA[1] OR /R/CASUALIAMA[2] ! THANKS!!!
FTFY!
I didn't realize this wasn't /r/Borderlands until now.
Why approve it? What does this AMA serve beyond giving Gearbox an avenue for advertising? Granted, most AMAs are done with the intent of pimping product, but interviewing the creator opens up avenues for interesting discussion. Generally speaking, the reader learns from a good AMA. All that's here is a chance for Borderlands 2's DLC to get front page attention.
I feel like IAmA should focus on posts that bring some knowledge, or something new, to the viewer. It should not become another commercial for product with little outside value.
Again the Mods remove something for no reason.. Awesome Job Mods, Awesome!
/r/Borderlands posted an AMA Request here and Mister Torgue delivered..and the Mods removed -_-
HOW MUCH WOOD COULD A WOOD CHUCK CHUCK IF A WOOD CHUCK COULD WIELD TORGUE?

TRUE OR CORRECT: ALL PEOPLE WHO TYPE IN LOWER CASE ARE PUSSIES ҉
MY ANSWER IS YESTRUECORRECT
TRICK QUESTION AND YOU GOT THE TRICK ANSWER ҉ EXPLOSIONS ALL AROUND ҉
GUNS THAT SHOOT EXPLOSIONS OR EXPLOSIONS THAT SHOOT GUNS?
YOU'RE BREAKING DOWN MY WORLDVIEW AND I LIKE IT
DO YOU LIKE DOUGHNUTS WITH DYNAMITE SPRINKLES?
WHY HAVEN'T YOU EXPLODED YOUR CAT YET?
MY CAT IS NAMED "EXPLOSIONS" AND YOU CAN'T EXPLODE AN EXPLOSION
OH WAIT WHAT IF YOU COULD
THE MAJESTY
THE BEAUTY
YOU JUST BLEW MY MIND GUIZYDUCK
TECHNICALLY, A THERMONUCLEAR REACTION BEGINS WITH AN EXPLOSION THAT GETS EXPLODED BY ATOMS EXPLODING.
HAVE YOU EVER EXPLODED A PLANET AND IF SO, HOW BADASS WAS IT!?
I TRIED ONE TIME BUT MY SHAREHOLDERS TOLD IT WOULD HAVE BEEN "ILLEGAL" AND "GENOCIDE" AND "ALSO SUICIDAL BECAUSE WE ARE ON THAT PLANET RIGHT NOW" BUT I WAS LIKE SHUT UP

Mister Torgue,
In honor of this momentous occasion in which you have graced us with your explosivity, I humbly ask for your assistance. I would like to experience your story, but have a lack of funds. To better convince you that I deserve your assistance, here is a picture of a shirtless man playing guitar while kicking a rhino in the balls in front of a big ass explosion.
THAT IS THE GREATEST PICTURE I HAVE EVER SEEN AND SO I WILL REWARD YOU WITH TEN HONORARY TORGUEBUX™
UNFORTUNATELY TORGUEBUX™ ARE (A) NOT ACCEPTED AS LEGAL TENDER WITHIN THE BORDERS OF ANYWHERE AND (B) A THING I JUST MADE UP IN MY HEADBOX
YOU SHOULD LEGIT GIVE THIS GUY A SHIFT CODE FOR 10 TORGUE TOKENS WHEN THE DLC COMES OUT JUSSAYIN

OOOOH! YOU DIDN'T USE ALL CAPS SON! HOW DO YOU EXPECT TO CAPTURE THE ATTENTION OF HIS HIGH EXPLOSIVENESS IF YOU'RE NOT EVEN TYPING LIKE AN EXPLOSION!?
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WAY TO BLOW SHIT UP MR. TORGUE?
THAT QUESTION IMPLIES I HAVE A LEAST FAVORITE WAY TO BLOW THINGS UP WHICH IS F*CKING QUITTER TALK
WHILE HIGH-FIVING A CLASSY LADY
HELLO FRIEND. I PLAY SALVADOR. MY FIRST TWO SLOTS HAVE BEEN TORGUE ASSAULT RIFLES SINCE THE BEGINNING. YOU MAY BE ASKING YOURSELF WHAT MY SECOND TWO SLOTS ARE. THEY ARE TORGUE ROCKET LAUNCHERS. AS SOMEONE WHO DOES NOT UNDERSTAND THE CONCEPT OF ART IN GENERAL, YOU SIR ARE AN ARTIST.
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF TINY TINA AND THE SLAB KING?
TINY TINA IS EASILY THE SECOND MOST EXPLOSIVE PERSON I CAN THINK OF AND I SAY THAT AS SOMEONE WHO TAKES A GREAT DEAL OF DIFFICULTY IN COUNTING AS HIGH AS THE NUMBER TWO
THE SLAB KING IS PRETTY ALRIGHT ҉ I LIKE HIS PECS AND HIS GENERAL COMBAT STYLE THE ONLY REAL DOWNSIDE TO HIM IS THAT HIS FISTS DON'T EXPLODE BUT NOBODY'S PERFECT AND FLAWS ARE INHERENTLY BEAUTIFUL SO THAT'S COOL I GUESS
Actually, with the correct relic, his fists DO, in fact, explode.
WHAT
BEST VAULT HUNTER EVER
HOW IS SALVADOR NOT YOUR FAVORITE VAULT HUNTER? GUNZERKER = TWICE THE EXPLOSIONS
Did you miss the part about EXPLODING FISTS?!
TWO FISTS = TWICE THE EXPLOSIONS
my cat only likes to make small ka-booms, how do i get her to make huge explosions
FEED HER GRENADES
I TOOK YOUR ADVICE. IT STARTED OFF GREAT WITH THE EXPLOSIONS BUT NOW I CAN'T FIND MY CAT
EXPLODE YOUR HOUSE TO SMOKE HER OUT
WHAT DO YOU RECOMMEND FOR THE BEST EXPLOSIONS!! I TRY TO BLOW UP RAKKS BUT THEY KEEP FLYING AWAY!
WAIT TILL THEY GET CLOSE THEN LET LOOSE WITH A TORGUE SHOTGUN AND PLAY AROUND IN THE BLOOD CONFETTI
CONFLOOD?
BLOODFETTI
PATENT PENDING, THAT'S MY WORD NOW
I'M LIKING BLOODFETTI
THROW THAT SHIT AROUND AT A BIRTHDAY PARTY
THEN BLOW UP THE CLOWN
NOW WHO'S GOT THE LAST LAUGH, CLOWN?
IS THERE AN EXPLOSION TOO BIG TO HANDLE?
NO
STUPID
How do you feel about Gaige and her buddy's 'Explosive Clap'? Does it compare to your own explosive clap?
I FEEL LIKE I COULD MAKE A JOKE ABOUT SEXUALLY TRANSMITTED DISEASES HERE BUT I WON'T BECAUSE I'M A CLASSY MOTHERF*CKER

Are the Torgue scientists interested in the concept of laser-cats?
WHO THE F*CK ISN'T
I FOUND THESE RUDIMENTARY LASER CATS PERHAPS TORGUE SHOULD START OFF THIS MODEL BUT ADD EXPLOSIONS TO THE LASERS AND THE CATS AND EVERYTIHNG THEY CAN PUT EXPLOSIVES IN SO THAT THEY WILL EXPLODE
MIRV OR SINGULARITY FOR THE BEST EXPLOSION?!
MIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRV
MR. TORGUE, WHAT DO YOU GET WHEN YOU PUT ERIDUM WITH EXPLOSIONS? ALSO, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE SKINNY ERIDANS!?
HOLY SH*T WHY DID I NOT THINK OF THAT
Would you rather cause one huge explosion, or one hundred smaller explosions?
WHY NOT BOTH
I think a hundred smaller explosions are better than one huge explosion. Then you get 100 times the pleasure of each explosion and if placed properly can do much more damage! Not to mention my cat would be more excited by multiple explosions to chase after than one huge one.

What kinds of new badass explosion-tech (techplosion?) are the badass folks at Torgue working on right now?

To Mr Burch: What other names, aside from Bonerfart, came up during development?
All the names that came up are in that quest, actually -- we really considered "Primal Beast" and "Ferovore."
I have a question about poetry:
SONNET 116
Let me not to the marriage of true minds
Admit impediments. Love is not love
Which alters when it alteration finds,
Or bends with the remover to remove:
O no! it is an ever-fixed mark
That looks on tempests and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken.
Love's not Time's fool, though rosy lips and cheeks
Within his bending sickle's compass come:
Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks,
But bears it out even to the edge of doom.
If this be error and upon me proved,
I never writ, nor no man ever loved.
Can you compare how the sonnet deals with the relationship between time and love and explosions?
My mistress' eyes are nothing like AN EXPLOSION
EXPLOSIONS ARE far more red than her lips' red;
If snow be white, why then her breasts are NOT EXPLOSIONS BUT STILL PRETTY GREAT
If hairs be DYNAMITE wires, black wires grow on her head.
I have seen roses damask'd, red and white, WHAT DOES DAMASK’D MEAN
But no such EXPLOSIONS see I in her cheeks;
And in some EXPLOSIVES is there more delight
Than in the EXPLOSIONS that from my mistress reeks.
I love to hear her EXPLODE, yet well I know
That EXPLOSIONS hath a far more pleasing sound;
I grant I never saw a EXPLOSION go;
My mistress, when she walks, EXPLODES on the ground:
And yet, by heaven, I think my love as rare
As any she belied with false EXPLOSIONS
I believe I can only respond with <3 ҉

Mr. Burch, I have a question - How much freedom do you have to write what you please for the game? Is there a lot of oversight? Do you have any real control over the plot?
I have a downright idiotic amount of freedom. Only, like, three people in the company knew about Butt Stallion before we shipped the game.
I like that answer lol. I so hope for a DLC fight against Butt Stalion
what do I do about explosive defecation?
CRY A LOT
If you're served a thick stew, how do you eat it? It's not explosion related, but I must know.

THIS BABY IS A FUCKING DOOMBRINGER WITH AXTON.
THEY EXIST, HERE'S MINE ҉
HI MR. TORGUE, THANKS FOR DOING THIS I'M A BIG FAN OF YOUR PRODUCTS ҉
DO YOU HAVE PLANS FOR EXPLODING ANY SPECIFIC THINGS ON PANDORA THAT YOU CAN TELL US ABOUT ҉
DO YOU HAVE PLANS FOR PERHAPS LAUNCHING THINGS BEYOND PANDORA VIA EXPLOSION ONCE YOU HAVE ADEQUATELY DETONATED STUFF THERE ҉
THANKS FOR TAKING THE TIME TO ANSWER OUR QUESTIONS ҉
THERE IS NO LIMIT TO EXPLOSIONS INQUISITORKAEDE
EXPLOSIONS ARE LIKE DREAMS IN THAT THEY ARE BIGGER THAN ANY ONE OF US AND IF YOU BELIEVE IN THEM THERE IS NO LIMIT TO WHAT YOU CAN DO
EXCEPT DREAMS CAN'T TURN A HUMAN BODY INTO A THREE-POUND PILE OF GROUND BEEF AND SADNESS SO EXPLOSIONS ARE WAY F*CKING BETTER COME TO THINK OF IT
THAT WAS SO INSPIRING I ALMOST CRIED BUT DECIDED TO MAKE MY EYES EXPLODE INSTEAD

But seriously, I think it's awesome the direction you've taken the BL story. Nice to see a living rebuttal of the argument that critics are only critics because they can't create.
Where are all the chaos emeralds? I've looked everywhere!
WHAT
This is a question for the man behind the explosive-mask:
First off, let me say HI ANTHONY OMGOMGOMG I have been a fan of yours for god-damn ever. We're even FACEBOOK FRIENDS. Alright. Now to the less creepy part of this.
I always loved how verbal you were when you were with Destructoid, and RevRants were by far one of my favorite things about the site besides Chad's Memory Card write-ups. I know in interviews now that it seems like you kind of want to forget that part of your career, and I'm not sure if it's just the way I've viewed it or what. Am I correct in thinking this? At other times it seems like it's not though, like the recent Sup Holmes? episode and stuff like that.
Also, in one of your interviews you said that once you started to work at Gearbox you realized a lot of the stuff that you would talk about was more or less a "lesser of two evils" thing, and I was curious if you had some examples? They always wanted to touch upon the man behind the story, but never really delve into "why he's the guy for the job" in the interviews, which was what fascinated me (I mean, you used to be so adamant about games needing to take themselves seriously, so Borderlands 2? Weird combo).
Overall though, I think you did a FANTASTIC job and I loved loved loved LOVED Borderlands 2 (275 hours played!) and can't wait to see what you've done with DLC2. Now as for a Borderlands 2 question.. We're getting into spoiler territory.
After the BNK3R fight there's a.. loss. This has been something that's wracked my brain for a while, so I gotta ask. When this loss occurred, why didn't the New-U stations take care of it? There's a theory of a "lapse" of protection but I don't wanna spoil details for those who haven't beaten the game yet. Or, is it New-U stations aren't canon?
Wow, this has been a long-ass rant of incoherence. Welp, if you decide to respond to it, you have my utmost thanks. I miss hearing your oh-so-vocal opinion, but I'm glad that you're doing well at Gearbox. Hopefully after I get done with school I'll be able to do something either there or with Valve. Hell, maybe 343i. Lots of places that are amazing. Thanks for continuing to provide amazing memories and discussions for us for god knows how many years now. You're by far one of my most respected writers, and people in general.
You are certainly incorrect. I don't want to forget that part of my career at all -- I enjoyed it very much and it made me the person I am today.
Regarding the New-U thing: that's my fault, but not for the reasons you'd expect. I sincerely believe that if I hadn't added any dialog to the New-U stations (the snarky lines from the Hyperion female voice), then the New-U's wouldn't have felt like an in-world technology -- they would have felt like a meta aspect of the game.
When Aeris dies, you spend, like, a second wondering why Cloud doesn't just use a Phoenix Down on her and then you say "screw it" and move on, because nobody in the story acknowledges that Phoenix Downs even exist and you're pretty sure they're just a gameplay mechanic. If I hadn't added dialog to the New-U stations, I think you-know-who's death would have functioned in much the same way.
My thinking has been, "when the guy that owns the new U stations kills you, you stay dead". "Remember, as long as you believe in yourself, nothing can truly kill you, except handsome Jack."
As for Jacks death, I just attributed that to angel screwing his backup files. Hopefully, that ass respawns in a pit of hot lava for eternity.
I'm not so sure about Cloud using a Phoenix Down on Aeris. FF7 specifically mentions that Phoenix Downs are to cure KOs, not "stabbed-in-the-back-by-a-hugeass-sword". Biggs, Wedge, and most of AVALANCHE are killed when Sector 7 gets dropped, but there's nothing to revive them.

There's a line from the New-U stations about how your repeated in-game deaths have made Hyperion a ton of profits, which explains why they don't just delete the Vault Hunters from the New-U network. It would make sense though that the 'lapse' of protection could be have been engineered by a skilled programmer. I also heard a theory on the internet that the reason the Bandits are all relatively similar and demented is because of repeated replication errors introduced by the New-U process.
I especially liked how you run around 'town' after the event talking to all the character NPCS and getting their in-character reactions to the events at the BNK3R. Even though it was never explained why the New-U didn't work, the game's characters accepted it too.
That brings up a point I don't know if you've considered (you're pretty clever though, so probably). Hyperion owns the New-U technology. Jack wants you to die. Why not just perma-ban the Player from respawns (the New-U claims spawn campers will be perma-banned. Funny joke, interesting consequences).

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF OLD SPICE EXPLOSIOOOOONNNSSS?
Real badasses don't look at explosions....they just walk away all badass like and such...how do you get around this? do you record it and watch it later or do you just tell everyone to "FCK OFF ITS A FCKING EXPLOSION!"?
I DON'T REALLY SUBSCRIBE TO THE "COOL GUYS DON'T LOOK AT EXPLOSIONS" THING
WOULD YOU NOT LOOK AT THE SISTINE CHAPEL
WOULD YOU NOT LISTEN TO BEETHOVEN'S FIFTH SYMPHONY
WOULD YOU NOT WATCH THE FIFTH ELEMENT EIGHTEEN TIMES IN A ROW ON THE THIRD WEEK OF EVERY MONTH
OF COURSE NOT SO WHY THE F*CK WOULD YOU NOT LOOK AT AN EXPLOSION
CAN WE HAVE SOME EXTRA STORAGE SPACE? TO BE USED FOR CATS AND EXPLOSIVES ONLY OF COURSE.
edit for MORE CAPS.
I think the new dlc should give us the ability to store eridium in the bank. That way it will satisfy the people saying they want the bank to hold more, and the people that say they have nothing to do with all their eridium. Two birds, one stone.
Gearbox is frantically writing me out a check for my consultation fee right now.

MR. TORGUE,
WHAT ARE YOUR OPINIONS ON SOME OF YOUR RIVAL GUN MANUFACTURERS. NOT ENOUGH EXPLOSIONS IS AN OBVIOUS ANSWER FOR A FEW, BUT SOME OF THEM DO PACK A POWERFUL PUNCH. HELL, TEDIORE GUNS THEMSELVES EXPLODE, NOT JUST THEIR BULLETS. YOUR THOUGHTS?

WHAT DO YOU SAY TO CRITICS WHO CLAIM THAT TORGUE'S LEGENDARY SHOTGUN "THE FLAKKER" IS INFERIOR TO OTHER LEGENDARY SHOTGUNS SUCH AS HYPERION'S "CONFERENCE CALL"? ALSO WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE KIND OF TORGUE GUN?
Mr Torgue... How do you prepare your thanksgiving feast? I need some tips here.
MISTER TORGUE, HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED IMPLOSIONS?
Do your explosions come with badonkadonks? Explosions with badonkadonks are sexy as hell!
MISTER TORGUE I WANT MY TEXT TO BE MORE EXPLOSIVE BUT CAPS LOCK AND EXPLOSIVE PUNCTUATION JUST ISN'T ENOUGH ҉ HOW DOES TORGUE INTEND TO FIX THIS ISSUE ҉ ALSO DO YOU LIKE TEDIORE CAUSE THEIR STUFF EXPLODES WHEN YOU RELOAD IT WHY DON'T TOGUE GUNS DO THAT ҉
What kind of new explosive weapons are we going to be seeing in your arenas?
HOLY FUCK MR. TORGUE,
IF I COULD COMBINE THE EXPLOSION OF AN ATOMIC BOMB WITH AN EXPLOSION FROM A WARP DRIVE BEING DETONATED NEAR A LARGE POPULATION, HOW AWESOME WOULD THAT BE
FUCK YEAH! MASTEROFSAIKYO

Hey Anthony! I love Hey Ash and I just wanted to know how you come up with your ideas. What's your process?
HEY MISTER TORGUE ҉
WHY IS YOUR CAT SO WEIRD‽ HOW DOES IT EVEN KNOW HOW TO SPELL CONSOLE NAMES‽ (I'M USING INTERROBANGS BECAUSE IT HAS BANG IN THE NAME ҉ I FIGURED YOU'D APPRECIATE IT SEEING AS YOUR GUNS MAKE THE BEST BANGS ҉)
I THINK YOU SHOULD GET IT CHECKED OUT ҉ IT COULD BE A HYPERION SPY ҉
I HOPE TO SPEND EVEN MORE MONEY ON TORGUE GUNS IN THE FUTURE ҉
READ THIS WHOLE THREAD IN YELL
Sup, Anthony?
I figure you get tired of hearing this, but I just wanted to make sure you knew how god damn amazing your writing and input in this game is.
Oh who am I kidding of course you do not get tired of it.
What were some high points of writing Borderlands 2?
What were your favorite things to write?
How about which character was the most fun to write for?
MR. TORGUE I NEED YOUR HELP! I WENT TO BUY ONE OF YOUR HOTA$$ RIFLES FROM MARCUS, BUT DISCOVERED I NEEDED 13 CENTS MORE, SO I TRAVELED TO THE LYNCHWOOD BANK AND BLEW IT THE F@#$ UP SO I COULD GET MY 13 CENTS! BUT THEN I LEARNED THE TRAIN I TOOK THERE DIDN'T RUN ON EXPLOSIONS SO I BLEW IT UP TOO AND THEN WENT BACK TO SANCTUARY BY FILLING A VOMITING SKAG WITH EXPLOSIVES SO HE COULD THROW UP EXPLOSIONS UNTIL WE REACHED SANCTUARY IN THE SKY! BUT NOW I DON'T KNOW WHICH RIFLE I WANT TO BUY, ALL OF THEM ARE JUST TOO AWESOME! WHAT SHOULD I DO!?
Where did my question go? I want to know if you could explode any historical figure, who would it be...and why?
MR.TORGUE. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE TYPE OF WEAPON YOU MANUFACTURED?
WHY DOES YOUR CAT TYPE PERFECT SHIFT CODES?
Anthony: You're fucking hilarious mate; I enjoy your work. My question, as someone who is excellent at this stuff: how do you judge your own writing? Do you know when you've done well or do you rely on others? Do you ever have to get rid of something because you're the only one who enjoys it? Also what's it like to work at Gearbox? And how about you write us a Borderlands book?
MR. TORGUE, ONE QUICKY FOR YA. WHY ARE YOUR WEAPONS UBER-ULTRA BADASS???
Mister Torgue, it's a pleasure to share this AMA with you. Might you comment on Pandora's current lack of a stable governing body? What would you call your political stance?
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE IDEA THAT RICK THE ADVENTURE SPHERE HAD ABOUT HAVING A DESIGNATED EXPLOSION DAY?!
Is Oregon your favorite state because of Whale Exploding? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Vmnq5dBF7Y
Mister Torgue, are you going to give Gaige her ECHOcast back when you're done with it?
Also what do you think of the other weapon manufactures?
Have you and brad Nicholson ever been seen in the same room, son?
MR. TORGUE,
FIRST, ҉ - ҉ - ҉ - ҉
SECOND, WHICH DO YOU PREFER, NITROGLYCERIN OR TRINITROTOLUENE?
DO YOU LOOK AT YOUR OWN EXPLOSIONS?
ALSO: CAKE OR PIE?
THANKS FOR DOING THIS EXPLOSION OF CAPS LOCK AND EXPLOSIONS.
What can I expect from your campaign?
Could you create a bomb so big that you couldn't explode it?
COULD YOU CREATE AN EXPLOSION SO BIG THAT EVEN YOU COULDN'T EXPLODE IT‽
I ASSUME YOU ALREADY KNOW HOW TO EXPLODE EXPLOSIONS ҉
Are you going to bring new grenades to pandora? Do your cats like explosions too? Will you make higher carrying capacity of rockets mandatory for all vault hunters?
HEY MR TORGUE, WHATCHA PLAYING?
MR. TORGUE WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF SOME SQUARE TOLD YOU HE HATED TO EXPLODE THINGS?
HAVE YOU MET THIS GUY CALLED NATHAN EXPLOSION YET? HE COULD BE YOUR LONG LOST BROTHER.
DO IT.
NOW.
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE BLACK EYED PEAS SONG?!
Do you ever walk away from explosions without looking back at them?

EXPLOSIONS ARE RED EXPLOSIONS ARE BLUE GIVE ME MY GUN OR I'LL EXPLODE YOU.
How did you and your sister come up with the ideas for HAWP? I love watching them.
How did you get started/get into working with video games?
I'm wanting to do character development and possibly storyboarding/brainstorming/anything else and I don't really know how to get my foot in the door.
My goal is to help redefine how women are portrayed in games. Skinny twig women holding a giant swords for more than ten seconds peeves me to no end.
I'M READING ALL OF THESE REPLIES LIKE THEY'RE A SICK GUITAR SOLO
IT DOES NOT DISSAPPOINT
WHAT KIND OF CAT DO YOU HAVE? DOES IT SHOOT EXPLOSIVES!?
QUESTION FOR MISTER TORGUE: WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO CORRECT SOMEONE WHO SPELLS YOUR LAST NAME WITH A Q?
Question for Anthony Burch: Any chance of your dad making a cameo in Borderlands 2 DLC? He cracks me up in HAWP. (my favorite moment is when he pumps his hand in the air when going to Fuddruckers)
MR. TORGUE, WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON SHOOTY MCFACE, HE SEEMS LEGIT, WHAT DO YOU THINK?
Mr. Burch, be honest, this expansion was just an excuse so your sister could talk to EXTREME Macho Man Randy Savage, right?
In a serious question, Borderlands 2 seems to excel in using tragedy as a source for comedy, without reducing or diminishing the element of tragedy. Was this something you actively strived for? How did you manage to strike the balance?
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO EXPLODE A BANANA?
Is Torgue going to design a new grenade called the "Kitty Kitty Bang Bang?"
Atlas, Hyperion, Dahl - lots of major corporations seem to have their own private militaries that they operate across the six galaxies. MISTER TORGUE, does TORGUE operate their own private military force, and if so, how would you stack it up against the armies of other corporations?
҉ IS YOUR FAVOURITE SHOW MYTHBUSTERS?! ҉
TWITTER SAYS YOU'RE ANSWERING QUESTIONS ABOUT EXPLOSIONS AND CATS. SURELY YOU HAVEN'T BLOWN UP CATS YET, HAVE YOU?!
WHAT CAN WE EXPECT FROM TORGUE IN THE FUTURESPLOSION
I'M CURIOUS AS TO YOUR OPINION ON BLOWING UP THE GIANT HYPERION SHIP IN ORBIT BY THE MOON ҉ IT'S JUST SITTING THERE, NOT EXPLODING ҉ THE MAJESTIC GLOW RELEASED BY DETONATING THAT F*CKER WOULD BE SEEN BY DAMN NEAR ALL OF PANDORA ҉ IT'S LIKE BLOWING UP A SMALL PLANET, BUT 18% LESS ILLEGAL ҉
CAN YOU MAKE AN ECHO BROWSER THAT EXPLODES THE PERSON ON THE OTHER END? I'M DOWNVOTING ALL THE PEOPLE USING LOWERCASE BUT THE DOWNVOTES AREN'T MAKING THEM EXPLODE!
FAVORITE JAM TO EXPLODE TO?
WHY ARE EXPLOSIVE BULLETS SO SLOW!!!
ARE YOU RELATED TO BOOM AND BEWM? MAD EXPLOSIONS
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THE OLD VAULT HUNTERS THAT EXPLODED THE ATLAS CORPERATION?
HOW DOES IT FEEL KNOWING THAT EXPLOSIONS MAKE THE WORLD GO ROUND?
What do you think of all these non-game related questions? Will there be only Torgue specific items in your DLC?
Whats your favorite song to explode to?
Where's my legendary version of https://twitter.com/SinicalIdealist/status/270623393278205952/photo/1

I DONT KNOW WHO THE FUCK YOU ARE BUT THIS THREAD IS AWESOME
THIS AMA EXPLODED QUICKLY!
YAY FOR BAD JOKES AND EXPLOSIONS!!!
THIS WAS MY BIRTHDAY CAKE! http://i.imgur.com/BSOeW.jpg ITS NOT HERE ANY MORE CAUSE I ATE IT AND ITS EXPLOSION!
Do you prefer shaped charges or thermobaric deliveries?
Do you like the band Explosions In The Sky?
Question directed towards Anthony: Was this DLC as much fun to write as the main story as Borderlands 2? Is Mister Torgue a character of your own creation?
Mr. Burch im a recent college grad and im looking to get into the gaming industry as a writer. unfortunately its hard to find a lot of information on the subject other than the basic start writing reviews on community sites stuff. so would you have any tips on where to go or what to do to enter the industry? also im a big fan of both games and a massive fan of their humor so thank you for the many laughs and thank your whole team for me for the many hours of fun. also for scratching my loot itch after being horrendously dissapointed by diablo 3. i needed that.
CAN YOU JUST DO EVERYONE ELSE'S AMA FOR THEM?
MISTER TORGUE, DOES YOUR VOICE EVER HURT FROM YELLING? WHAT ADVICE CAN YOU OFFER TO SURVIVE ALL THE CARNAGE IN THE BADASS CRATER OF BADDASSITUDE?
Mr. Burch, where do you get your ideas from? Do you like to develop a characters look then their backstory or vice versa?
Very excited for the upcoming DLC, I really enjoyed Scarlett and the story there, and I am enthusiastic about making things explode tomorrow.
Hey anthony, im a big fan of hey ash watcha playin, as well as borderlands, and i would like to know. (1) does your sister actually act all crazy? and (2) what difficulties did you have while writing the game? also SCREAM TO SEEM MANLY!!! YEAH!!!!!
Anthony, just wanted to say awesome work on Heyash, and they should have ashley do more characters, tiny tina is awesome. Also i hope you write some tiny tina DLC
MR. TORGUE, IS YOUR FIRST NAME CHET?
I LIKE TO USE MALIWAN'S WEAPONS BECAUSE THEY DEAL FIRE AND CORROSIVE DAMAGE. SO, MR. TORGUE, TELL ME WHY I SHOULD USE TORGUE GUNS WHEN THEIR EXPLOSIONS DON'T ALSO CAUSE OTHER ELEMENTAL EFFECTS?
ALSO, BECAUSE SAFETY IS IMPORTANT, WHAT TYPE OF SHIELD DO YOU USE WHEN YOU CAUSE EXPLOSIONS?
Mr. Burch,
I've always loved your (and your sisters and dads and now wifes) HAWP shorts. Absolutely, absurdly hilarious....So thank you for the countless laughs on that front, and future laughs with BL2. How many DLCs are in the works? When will the game of the year edition become available?
Anthony, seriously thank you for making my day. This is an amazing marketing move.
Now to MISTER TORGUE:
CAN I MAKE MY EXPLOSIONS EXPLODE MORE EXPLOSIONS TO EXPLODE EXPLOSIONS?
Anthony: How difficult is it to come up with new ideas when writing the DLCs?
MISTERTORGUE,
WHILE I APPRECIATE THE QUALITY OF GEAR PRODUCED BY TORGUE I FIND THE LACK EXTRA EXPLOSIVE POWERS TO BE A TURN OFF. I BRING ATTENTION TO TEDORIE'S ROCKET LAUNCHER THAT FEATURE EXPLOSIVE ELEMENTAL EFFECTS WHILE ALSO EXPLODING ON RELOAD. FOR ME THIS IS THE TOP EXPLOSIVE WEAPON, IS THERE SOMETHING THAT TORGUE PROVIDES THAT CAN TOP MY CURRENT ROCKET LAUNCHER.
NO SMG TOURGE?????
If you could blow up one monument on Pandora, what would it be and why?

IF YOU COULD RENAME ONE THING TO SOUND MORE EXPLOSIVELY AWESOME WHAT WOULD IT BE?
Do you prefer conventional explosives like Composite B or C4 or something more exotic go-booms, like thermobaric "fuel-air" style bombs? Also what is your favorite way to deliver said explosives?
I heard the 3rd Street Saints were better with explosives than you ...

Does torgue have plans for a sniper rifle?
MISTER TORGUE HOW ABOUT YOU MAKE A LAPTOP THAT RUNS OF OF EXPLOSINS? IT WOULD BE F*CKIN AWESOME!
WHAT'S BETTER ONE BIG EXPLOSION OR MULTIPLE SMALL EXPLOSIONS?
IM GLAD THAT IVE FINALLY FOUND A THREAD I CAN HEAR.
THANK YOU.
THAAAAANNNNKK YOOOOUUUUU
WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT implosions
WOULD YOU RATHER EXPLODE 100 DUCK SIZED HORSES OR 1 HORSE SIZED DUCK
I COULD ONLY READ THIS IN THE VOICE OF TERRY CREWS. ON A SIDE NOTE YOU'RE AWESOME MR. TORGUE
I SHOT A TORGUE GUN AT AN EXPLOSION.
THOUGHTS.
HOW MANY EXPLOSIONS DOES IT TAKE TO GET TO THE CENTER OF A TOOTSIE POP.
ARE WE YELLING BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T USE EAR PROTECTION OR JUST BEACUSE YOU'RE A BADASS?!?!
THE FIRST TIME I HEARD OF YOU I THOUGHT YOUR NAME WAS MR. TONGUE AND I WAS A HAPPIER PERSON THEN.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU GIVE YOUR CAT EXPLOSIVE CATNIP? ALSO. . . . WOULD YOU EXPLODE CAPTAIN SCARLETT OR MOXXI?
Can a shockwave from a explosion be felt in a vacuum? (space) would it be strong enough to move/kill you?
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT EXPLOSIONS IN SPACE?
This could be one of my favorite AMAs ever.
MISTERTORGUE WHAT OTHER PRODUCTS DOES TORGUE SELL? I'M PERSONALLY SICK OF ALL THESE COMPANIES THAT PROMISE FLAVOR EXPLODING IN MY MOUTH AND EXCEPT FOR THE TIME I TRIED TO EAT A GRENADE MY HEAD IS STILL IN ONE PIECE. DOES TORGUE HAVE A SOLUTION FOR ME?
PLEASE TELL ME ABOUT YOUR EXPERIENCES WITH ANTIMATTER
IS THERE EVEN A WAY TO TURN OFF CAPS ON YOUR KEYBOARD?
Which type of explosion would you prefer?
One giant explosion? Or a hundred little explosions?
Edit: I see this question has already been answered... I explode in disappointment. :(
I'M READING ALL OF THIS SHIT LIKE A POWERTHIRST VIDEO AND IT'S GLORIOUS. EXPLOOOOOOOOOOSIOOOONS.
DOCTOR MISTER TORGUE SIR, YOU ARE RELEASING THIS UPDATE ON MY BIRTHDAY SIR! MAY I SAY ITS BEEN AN HONOR SERVING ALONGSIDE OTHER VAULT HAUNTERS AND APPRECIATE THE MOST explosive BIRTHDAY GIFT OF ALL TIME SIR
MISTER TORGUE, THIS IS THE BEST POST ON REDDIT. IT LITERALLY MADE MY SCREEN EXPLODE. I JUST WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR AWESOMENESS. I AM HUMBLED.

Anthony: is your sister single?
Mr. Torgue (in the language you are accustomed) : KITTY GRENADES?? YES OR NO???
HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED SWITCHING TO 'IMPLOSIONS' RATHER THAN 'EXPLOSIONS'?
MISTER TORGUE HOW MANY EXPLOSIONS DOES IT TAKE TO GET TO THE TOOTSIE ROLL CENTER OF A TOOTSIE POP?
To Anthony,
Is there any actual government in the Borderlands universe, or is everything run by corporations?
the Borderlands universe is dripping with violent satire of what happens when corporations become too big and powerful. So, how far do you plan to go with these themes in the upcoming DLC and any sequels?
I guess the ending set us up for a sequel, right?
Is there a connection between the Borderlands universe and the real world?
Do you ever fear the Borderlands series' reliance upon memes and in-jokes will limit its appeal 10, 20, or 50 years from now?
GIVE ME ONE GOOD REASON WHY I SHOULD BUY YOUR DLC!
SHUT UP AND GET BACK TO THE EXPLOSIONS!
(Anthony, you and your team are a brilliant bunch of writers and I wish you all a long and prosperous career)
I LOVE YOUR ADVERTISEMENTS ON THE RADIO! SAYING IT LIKE IT IS, MAN!
1) WHY DONT YOUR BULLETS SHOOT FAST ENOUGH!? I LOVE THE EXPLOSIONS BUT THE PYSCHOS AND BANDITS MOVE TOO FAST! I'M DISAPPOINTED!
2) WHY IS EVERY COMPANY ON PANDORA? WHAT'S THE BIG DEAL? THERE'S SIX GALAXIES IN THE UNIVERSE, AND YOU'RE ALL FIXATED UPON ONE SINGLE PLANET!
3) HAVE YOU MET SALVADOR YET? YOU'D GET ALONG PRETTY DAMN WELL! BRICK, TOO!
4) WHAT'S YOUR COMPANY'S HISTORY?
5) SHOULD IT BE LEGAL FOR CORPORATIONS TO HAVE THEIR OWN ARMIES?
6) HAVE YOU EVER HEARD OF A MAN NAMED KARL MARX?
7) BONUS QUESTION: ARE SUPERNOVAE THE MOST AWESOME THINGS IN THE UNIVERSE?
Good evening, and thanks for this AMA ҉ I've heard rumors that Maliwan's actually planning to steal the show in your Showcase of Badassitude; any truth to those? Also, there's only one known functional Claptrap unit on Pandora at the moment; aside from the actions of some spirited Vault Hunters, might I assume that you accept some of the blame credit for that?
Anyway: Guns. Torgue has always been the go-to name in forthright, no-nonsense BADASS EXPLODIFICATION ҉ How do you plan to wow your jaded fans? We see explosions, and bigger explosions, then MIRVS, and all sorts of fancy tricks, but we know you're holding out on us ҉ MIRV-munition tech seems to only showcase in one or two very rare Torgue models; I think that the rest of the reddit-browsing Pandoran community will join me in asking a polite WTF? ҉
Finally, any truth to the rumors of a Torgue Launcher that shoots short-lived explosive-covered clones of Tiny Tina all over? If so, WHY THE HELL NOT?! ҉
Mr. Burch,
What was/is the hardest thing about writing for an interactive media (as opposed to say, books or magazines). Also, what advice would you give to writing students who want to combine their love of storytelling with their love of videogames? How do you get into such a field?
Thanks!
If I were a Golden Key Code, What would I look like?
MISTER TORGUE SIR, DO YOU HAVE A CHRISTMAS LIST? IF SO WHAT IS ON IT IF YOU HAVEN'T EXPLODED IT YET?
HEY MISTERTORGUE, YOU'RE PRETTY AWESOME.
(...and so are you, Anthony. Kudos on Borderlands 2; keep up the good work. Tell Ash I said hi and hope that we see (or hear) more of her in the future.)
What is your stance on implosions? Do you see them as abominations against explosions, or a more subtle flavor of explosions?
WHY ARE YOU ONLY MANUFACTURING EXPLOSIVES ON PANDORA? WE ON OTHER PLANETS DON'T HAVE COOL EXPLOSIVES LIKE TORGUE!
Hey Anthony, will you ever do rev rants again?
WHY DON'T YOUR OPINIONS REFLECT THOSE OF THE TORGUE CORPORATION?! YOU'RE ALWAYS F***ING RIGHT!
Anthony: What's up with Tiny Tina and Gaige. They are teenagers but sound like they are 6 and Tina looks like she's 10.
HAVE YOU EVER DETONATED A CL4P-TP UNIT TO SEE HOW FAR IT WOULD FLY?

WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE THING TO EAT WHILE EXPLODING THE FU*K OUT OF THINGS?!
DO YOU WALK AWAY FROM EXPLOSIONS LIKE THIS?
MR. TORGUE, WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE FLAKKER BEING CALLED THE WORST LEGENDARY MADE?
I have a question for Anthony, I know you handled a lot of the dialogue and story for BL2, but who wrote the references in the red text on legendary weapons? Was that a collaborative effort with all the writers?
Also how awesome is Randy Pitchford in real life? I really want to high five him
Question for Mr Torgue also: I NEED TO CLEAN MY TOILET, WHAT EXPLOSIVES WOULD YOU RECOMMEND?
TORGUE ҉ GRENADE MOD ҉ MUSHROOM CLOUD ҉ MAKE IT HAPPEN ҉
When and will the level cap increase?
MISTER TORGUE
WILL A TOURGE PRODUCED MIRV NUKE BE IN THIS EXPANSION? IF NO THEN WHY THE F*CK NOT?
REGARDS
PLEASE GET TORGUE'S SUPPORT BEHIND AN INCREASE IN LEVEL CAP BECAUSE I WANT TO LONGBOW TWO NUKE TURRETS BECAUSE WHAT COULD BE BETTER THAN TWO NUKES?
I CANT THINK OF A QUESTION, BUT I CANT WAIT TO BLOW SHIT UP TOMORROW

Do you take responsibility to all self-detonating midgets? Is that your way of saying "In order to make an omelette you need to break a few eggs?"

WHAT ARE YOUR OPINIONS ON NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS ҉
Mr. Tongue, all due respect, but are you a juicer? You're too ripped to be au natural.
DID YOU KNOW THAT 97% OF ALL LIVING THINGS ON PANDORA AREN'T EXPLODING?
MISTER TORGUE I NEED YOUR OPINION IE: POST-EXPLOSION ETIQUETTE. WHEN MAKING SOMETHING EXPLODE, WOULD YOU RATHER BASK IN THE BEAUTY OF SAID EXPLOSION OR WALK AWAY WITHOUT LOOKING AT IT LIKE A BADASS? ALSO WHICH IS MORE MANLY OR ARE THEY EQUAL?
WHAT EXPLODES THE MOST OF THE MOST EXPLODING EXPLOSIONS THAT YOU EXPLODE?
..LEMME REPHRASE THAT.

I really wish I understood what was going on in this thread. It just looks like a giant inside circle jerk for people who play Borderlands. Someone please explain. :(
A fictional character from the Borderlands 2 is doing an AMA. There really doesn't appear to be any serious questions or answers in this thread. I think it really is just a circle jerk. Even so; BORDERLANDS 2 EXPLOSIONS CAPS LOCK YEAH GUNS SHOOTING BOOM GRENADE FUCK YEAH!!
Got it. Is there a thing with caps lock in Borderlands 2 or something?
Is your favorite band Explosions in the Sky?
Nice quote to Eurogamer, Douche: "(Burch)...describes (Mister Torgue) as “the most American character ever, someone who just won't shut up, doesn't know what he's talking about and is actually incredibly stupid,”
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU AND MR. TEDIORE TEAMED UP TO MAKE A GUN THAT EXPLODED, AND ALSO SHOOTS EXPLOSIONS?
Mr. Burch As I progressed more and more into the game, I felt more like the bad guy. Jack was bringing order to this messed up world and we (the vault hunters) where just messing his shit up. was this intentional ? i mean to make jack the good guy in some way and make players rethink their actions ?? or am i just over analyzing ?
thanks for the awesome writing, it had become rare in recent times :D
I think the game was meant to harbor some conflict like that, moral issues with what you're doing. In a small way, by some ethical standards, what Jack is saying he wants to do is fine (bring order). The disconnect, I think is what the game nags at most, is that what Jack actually does is hinders their freedom. Jack isn't just trying to bring order, he's trying to be a dictator. Whether Jack would be a "benevolent" dictator, someone to unify the people and forge a strong world (Emperor Qin Shi Huang, for example), or an evil prick is up in the air.
From my play through, after seeing the stuff Jack did, and how much of an asshole he is, regardless of whether he could bring order, etc: Fuck him. The bastard had to die for what he did to...
Yeah. Fuck Jack. I have never felt more emotionally invested in murdering a video game character before.
well you're right, his final agenda was not really clear. but keep in mind that the vault hunters were no better than him in terms of method and morality. there was an echo log about how lilith "liquified" a guy after being exposed to eridium and was so ecstatic about it ... not much different than jack shooting mrs pierce in the face ...
Oh, of course. They are meant to be as insane as the other people on Pandora, only you are playing them at the same time. You are meant to be a Psycho all the same.
I just think it is important to note that for as much of a psycho as you, and many of the people on that planet are, Jack is also a psycho.
But still, Jack did a LOT more, and everything your characters did was in retaliation to what Jack did to you. You're still psycho, yeah, but Jack started it, lol.
For sure, each of our characters could be, in the right story, the villain.
You are, after all, meant to be wicked people. "No rest for the wicked" was a well picked song.
I just think that regardless, Jack was no more noble, and I would say even worse with what he did to... his daughter, Bloodwing, Roland, Pierce, torturing the crazy vault obsessed chick and everyone else he wronged in the game.
But in the end, there is ambiguity, because you are not a noble person either. To me, Jack just deserves it for Bloodwing. Seriously, fuck him.
To Mr Burch, what exactly is your job at gearbox?
Can you mary me I am a member of the Cohan clan, and Im from russia XOXOXOXOXOX PS IM A GUY
I'd like to know how many people it took to build these massive freaking areas of the DLCs and the game in general. The level of detail is amazing. Surely there's a lot of drag-and-drop assembly of content (rocks, vending machines, creatures, etc.) but there's so much stuff in it anyway. It's just amazing.
WHY BUY HYPERION WHEN YOU CAN HAVE EXPLOSIONS?
Mr. Torgue. What happened with other Gun company owners like Maliwan or Jacobs? I like to see them EXPLODE!!!
TODAY I WAS PARKING MY DAD'S CAR AND IT EXPLODED, DID I DO IT RIGHT?
What game in the past couple of years did you read the dialog or story and go "Yeah, thats the way it should be done!"?
WHY ARE YOU AN EXPY OF MACHO MAN RANDY SAVAGE?
TORGUE MIRV'S THAT EXPLODE INTO SMALLER SINGULARITIES. MAKE IT HAPPEN
WHAT DO YOU THANK OF MALIWAN
.......... ummmm SHOTGUN!
Mistertorgue how many explosions does it take to kill 30 bandits? And you should construct a giant dragon made of torgue weapons that shoots exploding bandits
MISTERTORGUE HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED MICRO EXPLOSIONS FROM NANOBOTS THAT BORE INTO THE HUMAN ANATOMY THAT WILL MAKE THEIR VICTIM A WALKING TIME BOMB THAT WILL INFECT OTHER LIVING BEINGS UPON EXPLOSION.
EXPLOSIVE ZOMBIE APOCOLYPSE
do you plan on making a gun that shoots mirv grenades?
IF YOU STILL HERE, THEN MAKE A ROCKET LAUNCHER, AND LET IT SHOOT EXPLOSIVE CATS

YOU SHOULD MAKE A WEAPON THAT DOESN'T"T SHOOT BULLETS, BUT INSTEAD: EXPLOOOOOSIONS!!!!!!! MACHISMO, STRENGTH, MANLY TESTOSTERONE FUELED EXPLOOOOOOSIONS!!!!!! just and idea.
HOW DOES MISTER TORGUE FEEL ABOUT...IMPLOSIONS?!
If a fictional person wanted to blow something big (the size of a house, for instance) using only material that fictional person could find at regular fictional supermarkets that could not be traced back to that fictional person. What would be the best fictional way to do it?
Could you maybe post a recipe? For scientific reasons, of course.
THIS GUY IS POSTING MORE CAT PICTURES THAN ANSWERING QUESTIONS AND I'M OK WITH IT
DO YOU HAVE JUST ONE QUESTION AND ONE QUESTION ONLY
SORRY I'M LATE TO THE PARTY. DO YOU EXOLODE THINGS 24/7? IF YOU SLEEP, HOW DO YOU KEEP THE EXPLOSIONS COMING DURING THAT TIME?
THANK YOU FOR THE AMA!
Who was wearing the bow tie, you or the shark?
Is there ever going to be a vladof dlc?
Which would you rather blow up: one horse-sized duck or one hundred duck-sized horses?
Thank you for resetting my badass rank, my heads, and my skins. Bullshit
JUST READ THIS WHOLE FUCKING THING IN MY HEAD. LOUD. MY MIND EARS ARE BLEEDING FROM THE EXPLOSIVE CONVERSATION!
HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED MAKING A UNIT OF MEASUREMENT FOR EXPLOSIONS? I'M HAVING TROUBLE THINKING OF ONE
EXPLODE UPON ME
How many of your customers have told you that Claptrap is an annoying piece of shit, percentage-wise of total customers?
Because Claptrap is an annoying piece of shit. Outside of that Diablo with Guns is funny, albeit repetetive. Now when can I get Corp. Adrian Shepherd back in action? :(
Maliwan.

MISTER TORGUE HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT EXPLOSIONS LEADING TO EXPLOSIONS?
HAVE YOU EVER EXPLODED ANYTHING SO EXPLOSIVE YOU HAD TO STAND BACK IN AWE?

MISTER TORGUE! WHY IN THE THE NAME OF HELL, DOES BORDERLANDS 2 APPEAR TO HAVE LESS GOREY AMAZINGNESS THAN BORDERLANDS ONE? IN BORDERLANDS ONE IF YOU GOT A CRITICAL HIT ON A BANDIT, NOT ONLY WILL ITS HEAD BE GONE, BUT SO WOULD MOST OF ITS GODDAMNED TORSO! IN BORDERLANDS 2 THERE SEEMS TO BE A LACK OF BLOODY RAIN!
MISTERTORGUE PUT A FUCKINING SATELLITE TO BLOW UP ANYTHING YOU WANT AS A GUN IT WOULD BE LIKE BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM MOTHERFUCKER. ALSO MAKE EXPLOSIVE KNIFES, SUPERSONIC ROCKETS, FUCKING TORGUE SHIELDS AND A ROCKET LAUNCHER SNIPER SPINGUN RIFLE SHOTGUN PISTOL. HOLYSHIT.
WHEN CAN THOSE OF US WITH MAC's EXPECT TO EXPERIENCE THE AMAZING THAT IS TORGUE EXPLOSIONS/ BORDERLANDS 2
WHY ARE THERE NO ROCKET/GYROJET SNIPER RIFLES LIKE THE SHOTGUN OR AUTOMATIC RIFLE
GIVE ME KNOCKBACK ON MY SHOTGUNS AND ROCKETS
I WANT TO BE ABLE TO MODIFY MY GUNS WITH BIGGER EXPLOSIONS
Can you do that? Can you explode twice?

My neighbors dog craps in my yard every day. Do you think M-80's will do the job?
Mister Torgue, What inspired you in making explosive weaponry? Childhood event? Mother? Father? Cat? There must of been something that wanted you to make weapons that makes the person you look at be all over the room.
NEARLY 50,000 KARMA FROM ONE POST? THAT'S DOING AN AMA THE RIGHT WAY.
MR.TORGUE HAVE YOU EVER PLAYED KITTENCANNON IF NOT IT WILL BLOOOW YOUR FUCKING MIND.......AND ITS REALLY FUN. KA-BOOOOOM
Best AMA ever. By a long shot.
WHY DON'T WE BLOW UP THE INTERNET, BUILD A NEW INTERNET AND CALL IT TORGUENET BUT WITH MORE EXPLOSIONS AND LESS NOT-EXPLOSIONS?!
Torgue if I may call you that sir, I was wondering what you thought about adding Torgue explosives to tricycles to help in times of zombies as seen here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ptie1aMHRP8&feature=plcp
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST SHIT YOU BLEW UP?
NEW PRESENT?
WILL YOU ONLY ANSWER QUESTIONS THAT ARE IN CAPS LOCK AND EXPLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSIONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS
ALSO I NEED HELP BAKING A CAKE. CAN YOU HELP ME
Mr. Torgue how many licks does it take to get to center of a tootsie roll tootsie pop?
Also check this out almost as awesome as you. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6nlHiIxPbig
MISTER TORGUE, I AM DEAF, DO I NEED TO HEAR THE EXPLOSIONS TO APPRECIATE THEM?
DOES YOUR WIFE LIKE IT WHEN YOU YELL!?
I DON'T CARE IF YOU'RE DONE ASKING QUESTIONS!
MR. TORGUE, WHAT IS THE BIGGEST F*CKING EXPLOSION YOU HAVE EVER MADE?
DOES YOUR WIFE EXPLODE?
CAN YOU MAKE A MIRV GRENADE THAT LOOKS LIKE CLAPTRAP AND MAKES FUN OF PEOPLE LIKE HIM? THAT SHIT WOULD BE F*CKING LEGIT!
MR. TORGUE, WHAT ABOUT PHILOSOPHICAL EXPLOSIONS? LIKE A FOOD WITH EXPLOSIVE FLAVOR OR AN IDEA THAT EXPLODES ACROSS PEOPLES MINDS?
Mr. Torgue, will you write me a haiku?
EVERYONE SHOUTING IN HERE
MR. TORGUE, IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION THAT WHILE EXPLOSIONS ARE NICE, FLAMING/ELECTRIC/ACIDIC EXPLOSIONS CA NBE JUST OR GOOD OR SOMETIMES BETTER.
WILL YOUR NEW PRODUCT LINE CONTAIN ANY SUCH ELEMENTAL EXPLOSIONS?
what time does it come out?
I haven't played borderlands so maybe I don't "get it", but I must say I'm not a fan of this "in character" AMA.
Explode or detonate? I find that "explode" sounds funny as a verb, as majestic as it may be. Thoughts?
GREATEST AMA EVER!
Can I make an explosion using playdough?
I've never played the game, and had to look up who Mr. Torgue is. That being said, I laughed my ass off and now I'm getting the game. Mission Accomplished. Good job.
WHAT IS YOUR VIEW ON EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA AND WHAT GOT YOU INTO EXPLOSIONS?
WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ABOUT BUTTSTALLION?

EXPLOSION OR EXPLOSIONS ?
YOU HAVE SO MANY AWESOME EXPLOSION WEAPONS AS AN OWNER. CAN I HAVE A GOLDEN KEY SO I CAN GET SOME OF THAT ACTION?
THIS PLACE IS A FUCKING EXPLOSIVE UPVOTE FEST!
WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST EXPLOSION
THE EXPLOSION THAT EXPLODED YOUR EXPLOSION CHERRY IF YOU WOULD
WOULD YOU RATHER BLOW UP 100 DUCK SIZED HORSES OR 1 HORSE SIZED DUCK???
I would, in a Gift of the Magi-style twist, give my ability to shoot people in the face for an IAMA from Face McShooty.
MR TORGUE, IS YOUR BADASS ARENA DLC GOING TO BE RELEASED AT MIDNIGHT AND ALSO, I LOVE YOUR LEGENDARY GRENADE THAT BOUNCES AROUND EXPLODING AND THEN EXPLODES ALOT WHEN IT HITS A BADGUY DUMB ENOUGH TO GET IN IT'S WAY OF EXPLODING THINGS! Also...EXPLOSIONS!!!
Is Michael Bay your favorite director?
I CAN'T READ LARGE FONT.
WHAT MAKES YOU EXPLODE?
SERIOUS QUESTION HERE, WHY DO BADASSES TAKE SO MUCH LONGER TO KILL THAN ANY NORMAL THING SUCH AS A SPIDERANT... WOULDNT MORE DAMAGE BE ENOUGH RATHER THAN MORE DAMAGE AND A BUNCH MORE HEALTH/SHIELD
I am playing Borderlands because of this AMA.
MR TORGUE WOULD YOU RATHER FIGHT 1 HORSE SIZED EXPLOSION OR 100 DUCK SIZED EXPLOSIONS?
CAN I HAZ A COOKIE?
ONCE I PULLED THE TRIGGER OF A TORGUE GUN AND IT MADE AN EXPLOSION COOL RIGHT?
HOW MANY STICKS OF DYNAMITE DO YOU USE TO BLOW SOMETHING UP!!!!!!!!!
I DON'T KNOW WHAT WE'RE YELLING ABOUT
IF A BLOW-CHUCK COULD BLOW BLOW HOW MUCH BLOW WOULD A BLOW-CHUCK BLOW?
MY ROOM NEEDS A MAKEOVER. WHAT COLOR OF EXPLOSIONS SHOULD I USE?
Tediore guns. All Tediore guns explode when the clip is empty and as a bonus, can explode even when they're not empty for even more explosion. Have you considered adding such a system to Torgue weaponry? It seems like Torgue could take this design to the next level with a gun that explodes when it explodes, explodes when it doesn't explode, and explode explode when it explode explodes. Explode.
OH YOU'RE DONE ANSWERING QUESTIONS? I DON'T GIVE A FUCK WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE COLOR
WHAT WILL BRING ABOUT THE EXPLOSION TO END THE WORLD?

MISTER TORGUE. I CAN RECALL YOUR COMPETITOR HANDSOME JACK MENTIONING HOW HE THOUGHT VOLCANOES WERE COOL BECAUSE THEY WERE MOUNTAINS THAT EXPLODED WITH FIRE. DO YOU FEEL THAT HE IS LEAKING INTO YOUR TERRITORY AS THE RULER OF ALL THINGS EXPLODING AND IF SO HOW DO YOU PLAN ON DEALING WITH HIM?

MISTER TORGUE, DO YOU HATE IT MORE WHEN THINGS DON'T EXPLODE OR WHEN SAMIT TALKS ABOUT SPORTS?
HOW MANY TIMES A DAY DO YOU MAKE SOMETHING EXPLODE?
Mr Burch: How is balancing HAWP with working at Gearbox?
MISTER TORGUE: SUPERNOVA ARE GIANT SPACE EXPLOSIONS, HOW CLOSE ARE YOU TO MAKING A SUPERNOVA GUN?
Best AMA ever!
IF YOU COULD BLOW ANYTHING UP MISTER TORGUE WHAT WOULD IT BE?
I HAVE A TORGUE GRENADE WHICH SPLITS INTO 9 GRENADES FOR EVEN MORE EXPLOSIVE POWER, ARE YOUR SCIENTISTS WORKING ON MAKING IT SPLIT EVEN MORE TIMES?
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF I PUT A SILENCER ON A TORGUE WEAPON?
MR. TORGUE: HOW DO YOU PUT UP WITH OTHER MANUFACTURERS THAT MAKE EXPLOSION-BASED WEAPONS AND DID TORGUE MANUFACTURE THE ROCKET LAUNCHER CALLED "DERP NUKEM"?
Mister Torgue I wish to apologize for my earlier failing. Clearly I am not man enough to talk in all caps. Not only did I misspell your name but I also became confused in regards to Vladorf and Torgue weapons.
I must ask though. Why does Vladorf guns explode and Torgue guns do not? Certainly the ability to fire explosives is excellent but a gun that does both would be net gain of explosions.
Clearly you should take over Vladorf.
HOW MUCH BADDA-BOOM ARE YOU PACKING?
MUST WE ASK CAPSLOCKS USING QUESTION?
MR. TORGUE, WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE LEAGUE OF LEGENDS CHAMP
I FREAKIN LOVE CAPS
FUCK YEAH!! TORGUE FOR LIFE!!!
I ONLY WEAR TORGUE SHIRTS AT THE QUICK CHANGE STATION, BECAUSE EVERY OTHER SHIRT LOOKS LIKE IT WAS MADE FOR A TRANSSEXUAL MIDGET BANDIT NAMED LUCILLE!!

YOU EVER HAD SKAG STEAKS?!! THEY'RE FUCKING DELICIOUS!! THEY GO GREAT WITH FRENCH FRIES, AND RED WINE!! I SMOTHER THEM WITH SRIRACHA SAUCE, BECAUSE IT MAKES THEM LOOK BLOODY AND RAW!! BUT YOU SHOULD NEVER EAT SKAG STEAKS RAW, BECAUSE IT WILL GIVE YOU A BAD CASE OF THE RUNS FOR LIKE A YEAR!! I'VE RUINED A LOT OF GOOD PANTS!! ONE OF MY FAVORITE TORGUE BRAND PANTS WAS LOST THAT WAY!! I WAS SO PISSED THAT I WENT AND BEAT THE EVER LOVING SHIT OUT OF A SKAG, AND ATE HIM!! THEN I HAD ANOTHER YEAR OF RUNNY DOO DOO!! BUT IT WAS WORTH IT, BECAUSE TORGUE BITCHES!!
YOU KNOW WHAT I LOVE BETTER THAT TORGUE SHOTGUNS, RIFLES, AND ROCKET LAUNCHERS?!! TORGUE PISTOLS!! THAT SHIT IS DECEPTIVE, YO!! I WOULD RUN UP TO A BUNCH OF INBRED BANDITS, AND THEY WOULD FRONT ME WITH THEIR PUSSY ASS MALIWANS, TEDIORES, AND VLADOFS!! AND HERE'S ME WITH MY ITTY BITTY TORGUE PISTOL!!

How does Torgue put explosions into bullets? And how could one, hypothetically, put explosions into bullets that fire in a burst pattern?
THIS WAS AN EXPLOSIVE AMA. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
MR TORGUE WHAT DO U THINK OF HYPERION
MISTER TORGUE, HOW LONG UNTIL YOU MAKE EXPLOSIONS THAT SHOOT EXPLOSIONS THAT SHOOT EXPLOSIONS THAT SHOOT EXPLOSIONS?!
EXPLOSION?
MISTER TORGUE WHY IS THERE NOT A GRENADE MOD THAT IS LIKE A BOUNCING BETTY BUT ONE THAT SHOOTS TORGUE ROCKETS INSTEAD OF PIDDLYSHIT NON-EXPLODING BULLETS?
IS IT TRUE THAT COOL GUYS DON'T LOOK AT EXPLOSIONS?
I WANT EXPLOSIONS. MORE LEGENDARY EXPLOSIONS. ALSO THE WARRIOR'S HEAD EXPLOSION WAS REALLY BADASS. IT EXPLODED MY MIND TOO. YOU AGREE, RIGHT?
DO THE ENDS JUSTIFY THE MEANS? WHAT IF THE MEANS ARE TORGUE ASSAULT RIFLES AND THE ENDS ARE EXPLOSIONS?
WHY DOES THE EXPLOSION OF BORDERLANDS 2 DLC INSIST ON EXPLODING MY WALLET ON AN EXPLOSIONARY BASIS?

WHY DOESN'T TORGUE MANUFACTURE EXPLODING CARS?!!?!?
[For writer:]
Just wanted to congratulate you on a masterpiece of a game. BL2 is tied with Portal 2 for best written game in my opinion.
And the plot was not predictable at quite a few parts! That's an accomplishment! Especially in this day and age.
MISTER TORGUE WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS?
First of all, I love Borderlands 2. I really wish you had a versus mode in it though. I understand the problems with this, but I've spent a lot of time thinking it up.
If you gave it a look and told me why it is bad I would never forget it!

You sound like the kind of person who takes his coffee black, his steaks bloody, and his vegetables as seldom as possible. You also sound like you go through a lot of cough drops with all that shouting. That about right?
EDIT: whoops! Mister Torgue has left the building.
HOW DID TORGUE START MAKING SHIELDS? THEY ARE NOT VERY EXPLOSIVE, WHICH IS GOOD BECAUSE I WOULD BE EXPLODED.
ON A SCALE OF LOW BUDGET ACTION MOVIE TO NUCLEAR APOCALYPSE, HOW MUCH EXPLODING CAN I LOOK FORWARD TO IN MISTER TORGUE'S CAMPAIGN OF CARNAGE ҉
Business proposal: Torgue line of exploding cement trucks. Have your people call my people.
MISTER TORGUE I HAVE TO SAY THIS IS THE MOST EXPLOSIONY AWESOME AMA I HAVE EVER READ. MY CLASSY HAT OFF TO YOU, GOOD SIR.
MR.TORGUE?! DO WE GET SOME NEW SWEET-A** TORGUE GUNS IN THE NEW DLC?!
MISTER TORGUE CAN WE HAVE A TORGUE GUN THAT SHOOTS OTHER TORGUE GUNS THAT SHOOT EXPLOSIONS
THINK OF ALL THE EXPLOSIONS
WHAT OTHER WEAPON BRAND IS THE LEAST HORRIBLE? NO YOU CAN'T CHOOSE TORGUE.
I'D CHOOSE MALIWAN BECAUSE SETTING PEOPLE ON FIRE IS PRETTY BADASS TOO, AND TEDIORE 'SPLOSIONS ARE WEAK.
DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE TYPE OF DIARRHEA?
HOW COME THERES NOT ENOUGH EXPLOSIONS YET !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHAT HAPPENED TO ATLAS?!
Also, please, for the love of puppies and kittens and all that is good, give us the option to turn off auto-equip. Please.
DO YOU EVER GET EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA ҉
So, directed at Anthony, I'm honestly just curious. Was it the internet fame that stemmed from you and your sister's 'Hey Ash' videos that got you your job at Gearbox? I've honestly been wondering for awhile.
HOW MANY EXPLOSIONS?!?!?!?!!?! AAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH
MISTER TORGUE! HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE TERRY CREWS COMMERCIAL WHERE EVERYTHING EXPLODES!?
I heard another Pandoran (is that a word?) by the name of Tiny Tina enjoys GIANT EXPLOSIONS as well. Has Mr Togrue met her?
MISTER TORGUE WHEN YOU AREN'T BLOWING UP EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE ON PANDORA WHAT GAMES DO YOU LIKE TO PLAY?
DO YOU LIKE HALO, BECAUSE I HEAR YOU CAN EXPLODE A LOT OF THINGS IN THAT GAME
BOOM SAVED
I HAVE 2 QUESTIONS:
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT ANTI-MATTER AND CAN YOU MAKE A GUN WITH IT PLEASE SO WE CAN EXPERIENCE EVEN LARGER EXPLOSIONS?
AND WOULD YOU MAKE A GUN THAT CAUSES EXPLOSIONS TO GET PROGRESSIVELY LARGER THE LONGER WE WENT WITHOUT MAKING AN EXPLOSION? IT WOULD BE LIKE SEEING A FRIEND YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IN A LONG TIME AND SO WHEN YOU SEE HIM YOU HAVE EXTRA FUN, LIKE SANTA CLAUS FOR EXPLOSIONS!
Mr torgue i honored you by using a rocket launcher from your line to hit a group of rakks and let it rain their delicious body parts everywhere. Does this please you?
ARE THERE NEW LEGENDARY EXPLOSIVE TORGUEY GOODNESS GUNS OF GOODNESS!?!?
ARE YOUR GRANDMA'S GUMS IMPLEMENTED WITH EXPLOSIONS?
So for Borderlands 2, Why did you decide to theme the main campaign around what essentially comes down to a case of domestic violence? I found it really uncomfortable and ultimately not fun at all.
I was sold bazillions of guns getting bazilliondier and I ended up getting stuck in the back of a car while daddy hits mommy and I try as hard as I can to play with my cool guns and ignore it.
For me, there was a really awful contrast between the main story and the rest of the universe you had created.
Also: Why are there so many points in the story where you are openly mocked for having believed something or someone as a player character, and something bad happens because of it. Only to have the player continue to trust that source implicitly.
The sanctuary scene was pretty much this and it left an awful taste in my mouth.
WILL THE NEW DLC MAKE YOUR DUDE MORE BADASS? TELEPORTING 1 NUKE ONTO THE FIELD ISN'T ENOUGH, NEED 2 OF THOSE SUMB*TCHES!
HELLO SIR HOW DO YOU DESCRIBE YOUR LEADERSHIP STYLE AT TORGUE?
How can I throw a grenade at someone's feet in battlefield 3, and they not die?
WHEN CAN WE EXPERIENCE ALL THE EXPLOSIONS
WHAT KIND OF GIFTS DO YOU GIVE FOR CHRISTMAS? EXPLOSIONS, CATS OR A COMBINATION? WHY?
I DID NOT KNOW WHO YOU WHERE UNTIL NOW AND I LIKE WHAT I SEE! ҉
TEDIORE MAKES GUNS THAT EXPLODE INTO EXPLOSIVENESS THAT EXPLODE EVERYTHING AROUND THEM. YOUR MOVE MR. TORGUE.
MR TORGUE I HAVE ONE SUPER IMPORTANT QUESTION. WHO IS BEST PONY?
I DON'T REALLY KNOW WHO YOU ARE BUT I'M READING THE AMA AND IT'S REALLY FUNNY AND I LIKE YOUR CAT EVEN THOUGH IT'S NOT EXPLODED YET AND THIS IS A RUN ON SENTENCE BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE EXPLOSION.
WOULD YOU LIKE TO ADD OUR EXPLOSION-WORTHY MUSIC TO FUTURE GAME ENDEAVORS?
WHAT WERE YOU THINKING WHEN YOU MADE CAPTAIN BLADE'S MIDNIGHT STAR!?!?!?! WHY DO THE MIRV GRENADES COME BACK TO YOU?
WHAT IS THE BIGGEST DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WRITING FOR GAMES AND WRITING FOR OTHER MEDIUMS, BESIDES THE OBVIOUS "IT'S INTERACTIVE"?
IS TINY TINA YOUR SISTER? ҉
MISTER TORGUE, WHAT WAS YOUR FIRST EXPERIENCE AT ROMANCE, AND DID IT END IN AN EXPLOSION?
Mr. Burch, how'd you get your start in game writing, also, how does this form of writing differ from other sorts?
MISTER TORGUE, I UNDERSTAND THAT EXPLOSIONS AREN'T AS BADASS FAR AWAY AND THAT'S WHY YOU DON'T MAKE SNIPER RIFLES, BUT WHAT IF YOU MADE A SNIPER RIFLE WHICH BULLET WORKS LIKE A NORMAL BULLET, EXCEPT THAT IT'S FILLED WITH EXPLOSIVES AND AWESOME AND MAYBE CONFETTI ON A TIMER AND WHEN THE BULLET HITS A SUCKER YOU HAVE 1 SECOND TO HAUL ASS AND POSITION YOURSELF TO SEE THE EXPLOSION ҉
ALSO, DO YOU SHOUT DUE TO YOUR EXPLOSIONS BEING SO LOUD WHILE YOU TYPE OR HAS AN EXPLOSION IMPAIRED YOUR HEARING?
DO YOU EAT ALL YOUR FOOD WITH A HEAVY DUSTING OF GUNPOWDER?
WHY DON'T YOU MAKE SHIELDS THAT EXPLODE? PEOPLE NEED TO FIRE EXPLOSIONS WHILE BEING EXPLOSIONS!
Can't wait for the dlc tomorrow \o/
Question for Anthony Burch:
In writing for Borderlands 2, what was your experience working with the rest of the game developers at Gearbox? Were there challenges like misunderstandings or barriers to communication? Are there any moments where things went really well, and everybody was on the same page?
I thought the scene where Sanctuary transforms was really well done. There were a lot of times where I thought "OH that's why this is that way," because you did a great job of foreshadowing so many things (even relatively minor things).
Also, I'm a huge fan of HAWP. Also i'm acting like a fanboy, I'll stop. :D
I HAVE AN EXPLOSIVE TEDIORE THAT SHOOTS EXPLOSIONS AND EXPLODES WHEN NOT SHOOTING EXPLOSIONS, WHY IS THIS NOT A TORGUE WEAPON?
I HAVE TO SAY I LOVE YOUR WORK MISTER TORGUE. I HAVE THE COMPLETE LINE OF RAVAGERS AND FIND THEM VERY SATISFYING FOR EXPLODING FACES. FOR ANY OF YOU PUSSIES OUT THERE THAT DO KNOW OF THESE ELITE SHOTGUNS THAT EXPLODE HEADS HAVE A LOOK! TORGUE RAVAGER
EXPLOSIONS! ROAR!!!
THERE IS A SPIDER ON MY BED, HOW DO I GET RID OF IT?
SO IT SEEMS TO FOLLOW THAT BECAUSE TORGUE AND EXPLOSIONS GO TOGETHER, TINY TINA, WHO MAKE SEXPLOSIONS OCCUR REGULARLY, SHOULD BE THE NEXT DLC.
EXPLODE ONCE FOR YES, TWICE FOR NO.

(EDIT: ALSO, YOUR SHOTGUNS ARE THE BEST ҉ ҉ ҉ ҉ ҉ ҉ ҉)
WHERE THE F*CK DO YOU EVEN FIND A BOLO TIE ANYMORE?
MISTER TORGUE, HAVE YOU CONSIDERED WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU MAXED OUT THE GUNZERKER'S GRENADE SDU'S, GAVE HIM THE "GRENADIER" SKILL FROM THE COMMANDO'S SKILL TREE AND THE "DOUBLE YOUR FUN" SKILL, AND EQUIPPED HIM WITH A BONUS PACKAGE GRENADE MOD?
How do you feel about Tediore guns? I mean they do explode after you're done shooting them...
TO THE MAN BEHIND THE CURTAIN:
Anthony, have you ever thought about what the other weapon corps in the Borderlands universe's characters might be like? Perhaps Jakobs or Tediore? What would you imagine the head of the Maliwan corp to be like; absurdly affluent and almost 'hippy-ish'?
Just curious.
WHAT IS YOUR OPINION OF MAKING YOUR WEAPONS CAPABLE OF ALLOWING EXPLOSIVE JUMPING? I.E, USER SHOOTS AT HIS FEET (WE'RE NOT USING ANY OF THAT GIRLY "HE/SHE" CRAP: TORGUE WEAPONS MAKE YOU A MAN), AND HIS PROPELLED UP IN THE AIR, ALLOWING THEM TO MOVE FASTER ҉
At what time will I be able to get the new DLC? Midnight?
I HAVE EXPLOSIVE DIARRHOEA, THOUGHTS?!
HEY MISTER Anthony TORGUE-Burch DOES THE SHEER BADASSERY OF DIVORCING A MAN FROM THE GROUND WITH EXPLOSIONS violate the cardinal rule of never taking agency away from the player and if so IS THE PLAYER A BITCH FOR COMPLAINING ABOUT IT
-- A guy that went to your talk at Cal way back when the fuck ago
HOW MANY EXPLOSIONS CAN YOU BENCHPRESS MISTER TORGUE?
MISTER TORGUE ҉ ARE YOU MAD THAT TEDIORE HAS THE PATENT ON EXPLODING RELOADS ҉ WHY HAVEN'T YOU EXPLODED THEM YET ҉
MR TORGUE, WHAT DO YOU THINK OF "CONTROLLED" DEMOLITIONS?
WOULD YOU RATHER TORGUE 100 DUCK-SIZED HORSES OR 1 HORSE-SIZED DUCK?
DID YOU EVER CONSIDER MAKING AN EXPLOSION IMPLODE?
MR. TORGUE, WHICH IS BETTER: A ROCKET LAUNCHER THAT MAKES 10 BIG EXPLOSIONS, OR A ROCKET LAUNCHER THAT MAKES 1 REAAAAAAAAAAAAAALY BIG EXPLOSION?
BEST AMA EVER!!
MISTER TORGUE: IS TEDIORE TRYING TO TAKE OVER YOUR MARKET BY MAKING ALL THEIR GUNS EXPLODE? WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN HAVING EVERY GUN EXPLODE, AND EVERY GUN SHOOTING EXPLOSIVES? WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO TEDIORE?
what is your favorite picture/video of an explosion?
MISTER TORGUE HOW WAS YOUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FACE MCSHOOTY
HOW MANY EXPLOSIONS DOES IT TAKE TO SCREW IN A LIGHT-BULB!?
MR TORGUE! WHAT ARE THE STATS ON THE HEAVY RED ROCK THAT TINA USED TO ESCAPE? OBVIOUSLY IT WAS QUALITY TORGUE MERCHANDISE, AND I WOULD VERY MUCH LIKE TO HAVE ONE FOR MYSELF.
ALSO, I AM VERY GLAD YOUR GUNS AREN'T MADE OUT OF FREAKING WOOD
I KNOW NOTHING ABOUT BORDERLANDS EXCEPT IT EXISTS, BUT IF THIS GUY IS INVOLVED IT MUST BE AWESOME!
I DID NOT HAVE A CAT AS OF TWO WEEKS AGO. NOW THAT I SAVED THIS FERAL CAT AND TAMED IT, WHERE DO I START WITH ITS EXPLOSIVE TRAINING ҉
MISTER TORGUE, WHAT WAS THE BEST EXPLOSION IN HISTORY???
MR TORGUE! I SOMETIMES FIND JUST ONE EXPLOSION IS NOT ENOUGH TO MAKE SKAGS EXPLODE TO PIECES! DO YOU THINK I NEED MORE EXPLOSIONS? ALSO! WHAT IS YOUR STANCE ON NON-EXPLOSIVE TYPE WEAPONRY SEEN FROM ALL OF YOUR COMPETITORS? MALIWAN MAYBE? :O
OH YES, ONE LAST QUESTION:
IF YOU GET INTO A FIGHT WITH TENGEN TOPPA GURREN LAGANN, WHAT WOULD YOU DO?
WHAT IS THE MOST AWESOME THING YOU HAVE EVER EXPLODED
I HAVE HEARD THE CLAIM THAT 97% OF THE CREATURES ON PANDORA ARE NOT EXPLODING RIGHT NOW... WHILE I AGREE THAT IS BULLSH*T, I CAN'T HELP BUT WONDER IF YOUR EXPLOSION BEAN COUNTERS WHO RESEARCHED THIS STATISTIC ARE PART OF THE PROBLEM BECAUSE THEY WERE COUNTING CREATURES INSTEAD OF EXPLODING THEM... PERHAPS WITH EXPLODING BEANS... HOW DO YOU INTEND ON CORRECTING THIS OVERSIGHT AND HOW CAN I FIND WORK IN THE FIELD OF EXPLOSION STATISTICS?
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU PEOPLE TALKINg about
MISTER TORGUE DID YOU KNOW CALL OF DUTY THINKS YOU'RE WUSSES? ҉
CATS OR EXPLOSIONS?
NOTE: EXPLODING CATS IS NOT AN ACCEPTABLE ANSWER
IS YOUR FAVORITE KEY THE * BECAUSE IT LOOKS LIKE A TINY EXPLOSION? IF SO, WHY THE FCK AREN'T THERE MORE!?!? *---**
WHY DID YOUR GUNS NOT INHERENTLY EXPLODE IN THE PREVIOUS BORDERLANDS? I NEED AN URGENT ANSWER TO THIS EXPLOSION-RELATED QUESTION
HOW LONG HAS COURAGE WOLF BEEN EMPLOYED BY YOUR ORGANISATION? ҉
WHAT FOODS GIVE YOU EXPLOSIVE SHITS?
WHO IS YOUR BIGGEST COMPETITOR IN THE GUN INDUSTRY AND HOW DO YOU PLAN TO DEAL WITH THEM?
HAVE YOU EVER THOUGHT OF EXPLODING THE SUN, WHICH IS PRETTY MUCH ONE PARGE EXPLOSION?!? IT WOULD BE EXPLOSIONCEPTION!!!
A couple of questions for Mr. Burch: How long have you been writing for videogames? How did you get started? Have you wrote for any other medium?
NOW AN EXPLOSION RELATED QUESTION: MISTER TORGUE WHAT Is YOUR OPINION ON HANDSOME JACK? ARE YOU NOT WORRIED ABOUT VENTURING TO PANDORA? WEAPON MANUFACTURERS DO NOT HAVE THE BEST RECORD ON THAT SKAGHOLE ҉
BE HONEST, ARE YOU GOING TO TRY TO BLOW ME UP?
I HAVE SOME SERIOUS QUESTIONS ABOUT THE WRITING AND I WILL SWITCH TO LOWER CASE SO THAT I MAY ASK THEM!!!!!
Why is it that you made the humor in BL2 MUCH darker than BL1? I think that BL2 needs more redneck humor personally.
WHY THE HELL ISN'T TINA IN THE ENTIRE GAME????!?!?
why does it seem like Tannis is irrelevant in the game?
why don't we get any hints about another Siren?
So, while Badass rank is unlimited, we have all seen that the increase rate slowly drops as you go up. I was just wondering, while there is no set hard cap, what is the soft cap? When does it no longer matter to increase your Badass rank?
Why is this turning into r/circlejerk?
HOW MANY EXPLOSIONS DOES IT TAKE TO GET TO THE CENTER OF AN ELDER SKAG?!
EXPLODING PUNCHES OR ABITLY TO EXPLODE PEOPLE WITH YOUR MIND FROM SHORT DISTANCE?
Are there any characters in Borderlands 2 that you're really proud of or any certain missions that you absolutely loved coming up with the idea for?
҉
GUYS HE EVEN MAKES TEXT EXPLODE, THAT HOWS MUCH HE LOVES EXPLOSIONS!
I have no idea who this guy is but HOLY SHIT YOU ARE AWESOME ALREADY!
WANNA BL ҉ W UP A H ҉ RSE SIZED DUCK AND A HUNDRED DUCK SIZED H ҉ RSES?
I hear that your game actually generates it's own guns procedurally which I think is really cool. Just curious though why it's done procedurally and not through random constructors?
HOW HIGH IS YOUR BADASS RANK ҉
Is there an Explosive Conference Call? If not, I refuse to play this sissy game until it's fixed.
Do you find writing HAWP benefits your ability to write for games, or vice versa? Have you tried things in HAWP that you later used in a game?
THAT COMMENT WAS A MONTAGE OF EXPLOSIONS!
MR. TORGUE: HAVE YOU CONSIDERED TEAMING UP WITH TEDIORE, TO MAKE A GUN WHICH SHOOTS GUNS WHICH BOTH EXPLODE AND SHOOT EXPLOSIONS ҉?
HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED IF TORGUE SHOULD MANUFACTURE EXPLOSIVE CATS?
DID THE BIG BANG COME FROM A TORGUE WEAPON?
How did you get started writing for games?
Is the creative process similar to other styles of writing?
MISTER TORGUE

MR. Torgue. SCOOTER TOLD me to come see YOUR CAT BECAUSE I HAVEN'T got enough capitals. OR A BUNCH OF RANDOM LETTERS. What's that all about?
WILL YOU DRAW ME A DINOSAUR EXPLOSION??
HAVE YOU SEEN THIS?! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uilt0kyKROI
(Non-explosion Question, how did you get into Game Writing?)
WHO COULD CAUSE MORE EXPLOSIONS, YOU OR MICHAEL BAY?
Hey Anthony you and Ash should do an AMA.
Good job on keeping your answers in character and BL2 in general.
MR. TORGUE,
WHY HAVEN'T I SEEN CATS MOUNTED WITH DUAL KERBLASTERS?
ALSO, PLEASE GIVE YOUR CAT THE KEYBOARD AGAIN.
MR. TORGUE! SOME SKAGS BROKE INTO MY SHACK AND ATE MY COLLECTION OF TORGUE WEAPONRY! IF I CANT HAVE THEM, NO ONE CAN!
SO MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, CAN YOU DO ME A SOLID AND REMOTELY DETONATE THEM?!
DO YOU LIKE TINA? SHE LOVES EXOLOSIONS TOO BTW.
AND WHY THE F*CK YOU DON'T MAKE SNIPERS?
MR. TORGUE WHAT IS THE CLASSIEST WAY TO EXPLODE SOMETHING? ҉ I TRIED PUTTING A MONOCLE ON THE EXPLOSION BUT IT FELL OFF ҉ ALSO HAVE YOU EVER EXPLODED MOXXI WITH YOUR PENIS? ҉
HEY MR. TORGUE, HOW CAN I BE AS BAD ASS AS YOU?
ALSO WHAT IS THE BIGGEST THING YOU HAVE EVER BLOWN UP?
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE GUN ҉
WHICH OF YOUR COMPETITORS NEED TO GET EXPLOSIONED THE MOST?
MISTER TORGUE!
I NEED A TORGUE T-SHIRT RIGHT NOW. CAN WE EXPECT ANY NEW MERCHANDISE TO EXPLODE ONTO THE SCENE? MY MANLY CHEST-HAIRS QUIVER WITH ANTICIPATION
ALSO, I HAVE YOU TAGGED AS "EXPLOSIONS"
THIS IS PROBABLY A POST WITH THE MOST CAPITAL LETTERS!
HULK SHOTGUN IS THE BEST THING IN THE WORLD BECAUSE IT CAUSES EVERYTHING TO EXPLODE THE FASTEST ҉
CAN WE HAVE A LEGENDARY BASED OFF IT?
WOULD YOU RATHER SEE A PLANET EXPLODE OR A STAR EXPLODE?!
THIS IS THE BEST AMA EVER !!!!
YOU SHOULD MAKE SHOTGUNS THAT SHOOT MIRVS!! THATS LIKE SEVERAL MIRVS FOR ONE PULL OF THE TRIGGER
WILL WE GET TO SEE YOU TAKE ON SAXTON HALE IN A CAGE FIGHT?
MR. TORGUE YOU SHOULD MAKE A ROCKET LAUNCHER THAT SHOOTS EXPLODING MOTHERFREKKIN CHAINSAWS! ENOUGH SAID
MR. TORGUE HAVE YOU PUNCHED BAD GUYS IN THE DICK RECENTLY?
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF OTHER GUN COMPANIES EXPLOSIVE GUNS!? ҉
(Also a question for Mr. Burch, which gun company will be getting a DLC next? I would love to see another Jakobs DLC for BD2!)
TEACH ME HOW TO BE A BADASS LIKE YOU. (Also, I love HAWP)
Hmmmmmm explode things or set them on fire (or another elemental state), hmmmm that's a difficult choice, but i think maliwan its a better choice dont u think guy? e_____e
EXPLOSIONS?
ASIDE FROM ALL THE EXPLOSIONS AND YOURSELF WHAT IS THE MOST BAD ASS THING ABOUT THIS DLC?
CAN WE EXPECT CAT GUNS AND BLOODFETTI IN THE DLC? AND ALSO WHY CAN'T YOU CAPITALIZE CAPITAL LETTERS?
Hello, Mr. Torgue. I was just wondering if you fancy tea or coffee more. That is all. Thank you for your time.
All I have to say is EXPLOSIONS. EXPLOSIONS EVERYWHERE
BEST IAMA EVER.
HEY MISTER TORGUE ҉
WHY IS IT YOU CAN'T SWEAR? WHY ASTERISK OUT THE 'U' IN A CERTAIN FOUR LETTER WORD?
MISTER TORGUE AS A GAIGE PLAYER USING THE ANARCHY BUILD I FIND THAT YOUR GUNS MESH WITH MY PLAYSTYLE PRETTY WELL
WHO NEEDS ACCURACY OR SUBTLETY AM I RIGHT
DEAR MR. TORGUE
HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED MIRV GRENADES THAT EXPLODE IN TO MORE MIRV GRENADES?
I don't really have a question, but I wanted to let you know that (I feel) the writing is superb and the characters actually make me think of them as living, breathing entities. Thank you.
I have only one thing to say: BOOM!
WHY DO NONE OF THE OTHER COMPANIES HAVE EXPLOSIVE WEAPONS? DID YOU COPYRIGHT EXPLOSIONS?
Hey Mr. Torgue! I am also curious of how you feel about Tediore? I mean their guns do explode when you throw them!
Mr. TORGUE, WILL YOU BE IN A PODTOID WITH JIM, HOMES AND ZIMMERMAN? THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! SO AWESOME THAT THE INTERNET WOULD BLOW UP IN A BIG BANG (THE MOST BADASS EXPLOSION EVER AGAIN)
WHEN ARE WE GONNA SEE SOME BADDASS PEARLESCENT TORGUE GUNS!?!?
Click Restore to load this comment.
No question here, but I just wanted to say that Anthony, your writing is remarkably entertaining. Thank you for the many many hours of laughter.
HOW OLD IS YOUR CAT IN EXPLOSION YEARS?
HEY, WE ALL KNOW HOW YOU FEEL ABOUT EXPLOSIONS, BUT WHAT IS YOUR THOUGHT ON IMPLOSIONS?
DO EXPLOSIONS DREAM OF EXPLODING SHEEP?
DEAR MR. TORGUE,
I SOMETIMES WANT TO DESTROY MY ENEMIES USING A SERIES OF SMALLER EXPLOSIONS IN A CRESCENDO LEADING TO ONE GIGANTIC EXPLOSION, BUT THE EXPLOSIVE POWER OF ALL TORGUE WEAPONRY IS TOO MUCH FOR ME TO GET A PROPER BUILD UP. IS THERE ANY CHANCE THERE WILL BE A TORGUE PRODUCT THAT WILL ALLOW SUCH A BUILDUP IN THE FUTURE?
WHY DOES MICHAEL BAY TRY TO COPY YOU WITH MASSIVE EXPLOSIONS?!!!!
WHAT TIME DOES THE DLC COME OUT TOMORROW ON THE PS3! AND WILL IT EXPLODE OR IMPLODE THEN EXPLODE TWICE AS HARD?
IF YOUR CAT COULD THROW ANY KIND OF GRENADE, WHICH WOULD IT CHOOSE? BOUNCING BETTY, MIRV, SINGULARITY, STICKY, AREA EFFECT, OR SOMETHING NEW!?
MASTER TORGUE! I THANK YOU FOR THIS! IT HAS EVERY THING I COULD EVER ASK FOR!!! EXPLOSIONS AND CATS!!!!!!
THERE SHOULD BE A NEW SHOTGUN CALLED THE BLOODFETTI
MY GRANDMOTHER SAID TO THANK YOU, MISTERTORGUE. THIS IS THE FIRST AMA WHERE SHE COULD READ ALL THE RESPONSES. TONIGHT WE WILL EXPLODE A BUSFULL OF NUNS IN YOUR HONOR.
MISTER TORGUE, DOES THE BLACK AND WHITE CHECKER PATTERNS HELP YOUR GUNS EXPLODE THINGS? OR IS THIS JUST BECAUSE OF YOUR FANTASTIC SENSE OF STYLE?
AS A VAULT HUNTER, THE JOURNEY GET'S LONELY WHEN EVERYONE ELSE IS, HAS, OR WILL BE ASPLODED. WOULD A SMALL KITTEN COMPANION BE ACCEPTABLE? HE SHOULD PROBABLY HAVE GOGGLES AND A FLAK JACKET. A GENTLEMAN F*CKING ADOPTS.
EDIT: IF YOU FIND A CYBORG CAT WOULD BE OKAY TOO.
ARE YOU REALLY THE ORIGINAL INVENTOR OF THE ROCKET LAUNCHER?
WHY THE FUCK HAVN'T YOU MADE CAT BOMBS? WOULD YOU LIKE TO BLOW UP MY COTTAGE? YOU SHOULD MAKE A MOTHERFUCKING CATBOMB
I like everything I've read in this. Sorry I can't upvote all of you.
WHY IS YOUR THREE-WAY-HULK ONLY THREE WAY? I FEEL YOU LOWBALLED ON THIS ONE WHEN YOU COULD'VE HAD TEN (TWELVE???)-WAY-HULKS!
TORGUE IS OBVIOUSLY FAKE COMPANY I'M THROWING MY MONEY ON DAHL IF YOU CAN'T DO BETTER.
MISTER TORGUE,YOU SHOULD MAKE A SHOTGUN THAT FIRES 50 PELLETS AT THE COST OF 10 BULLETS. BECAUSE 50 EXPLOSIONS AT ONCE.
MISTER T! SINCE YOU'RE SO BADASS, WHY DON'T WE HAVE SOME BADASS BFG CANNON ON PANDORA?
Now, I know I'm like everyone else here. We all buy Torgue products products because we aren't retarded and like to blow shit up. So my question is, How come you haven't run for President yet?
Do you have any weapon that rams explosives up the arse of your victim, then fire the victim at another victim, exploding both targets?
What the fuck is going on?
MISTER TORGUE, WHO NAMES YOUR ROCKET LAUNCHERS? IT'S HARD TO SOUND INTIMIDATING WHEN I'M THREATENING TO BLOW A MAN UP WITH A "DEEP A DUUURP!" OR A "ROCK A BLAA"
ANARCHY + TORGUE SHOTGUN = AWESOME
WHO WOULD YOU RATHER MAKE AN EXPLOSION IN, MOXXIE OR MAYA?
HEY MR. TORGUE!! CAN YOU GIVE US YOUR LIFE STORY? WHAT HAS BEEN YOUR FAVORITE EXPLOSION IN YOU LIFETIME?
Love the game. I've got an unplayed copy of COD Blops2 sitting in my drawer because I can't stop playing Borderlands 2!
How did you end up as a games writer? What is the career path for that? Are you hiring minions?
HEY TORGUE, WHATCHA PLAYING?
Good Sir or Madam I regret to inform you that your explosion license has expired. It seems the representative that we sent to your headquarters to renew your license was promptly blown to bits as he entered the premises. If you would like to continue to trade your explosives on Pandora please reply immediately with the appropriate forms. Head of PETA (Pandora Explosion Trade Administration)
Mr. Torgue, scientifically speaking, how explosion are your explosions on a scale from explosion to EXPLOSION?
DO YOU REMEMBER YOUR FIRST EXPLOSION?
Have you ever made a microphone explode by talking in to it or can you create vocal explosions.
Two part question, first for a question for Burch.
- What is the usual process for writing out the ideas for DLC? Is it just take a rough idea of something and just kinda run with it until the story itself fleshes out?
The second question is for Mr. Torgue
- DO YOU CALL YOUR ORGASMS EXPLODE-GASMS?!
Mr. Torgue, what do you think about the explosions from Tediore weapons?
IS CAPS LOCK REALLY CRUISER CONTROL FOR COOL?
YOUR EXPLOSIVENESS, WHICH IS GREATER 100 NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS OR 100 MIRV GRENADES?
DO YOU EVEN LIFT EXPLOSIVES?
MISTER TORGUE HAS SOFT PINK NIPPLES!
I'm sorry I've been mispronouncing your name.
WILL THERE BE A LEVEL CAP INCREASE AND/OR STORAGE UPGRADE WITH THIS DLC? ...AND ANOTHER QUESTION: EXPLOSIONS!!! (NOT TECHNICALLY A QUESTION I GUESS)
HOW MANY EXPLOSIONS IS TOO MANY?
I wanted to ask Mister Torgue more questions but I'm too busy blowing stuff up with friends using my Torgue assault rifle.
I'VE RUN OUT OF CATS TO EXPLODE...WHAT TO BLOW UP NOW?
MISTER TORGUE, WE ALL KNOW EXPLOSIVES ARE GREAT, BUT IS EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA STILL OK?!
MR. TORGUE, WILL THERE BE ANY TORGUE WEAPONS WHAT WILL NOT ONLY EXPLODE ON IMPACT, BUT OTHER ELEMENTAL DAMAGE? I WANT TO SEE SKAG GIBS FLAMING AND FLYING, ACID DISSOLVING THE REMAINING AND ELECTROCUTING THE OTHER SKAGS WHO TRY TO EAT WHATS LEFT OF THE OTHER SKAG?
THANK YOU!
THIS THREAD IS SO EXPLOSIVELY LOUD AND I LIKE IT SO KEEP GOING
What's the story behind the racing-theme on your guns?
THIS IS GLORIOUS!
ALSO, FAVORITE TYPE OF EXPLOSION!?
Out of Character question: What would you say are the biggest differences between writing for games and writing for other media?
Also, can you promise to never ever stop making HAWP? Like, in a legally-binding way?
give me MORE DLC!
Homing mirv or sticky mirv?
Any plans to blow up Hyperion's presumably-defunct moonbase? How do you feel about EXP Loaders?
Do you consider this weapon the sexiest ever or the sexiest ever?
I want an OfficialRedRyderCarbine-ActionTwo-Hundred-ShotRangeModelAirRifle for Christmas, but my parents said I'd shot my eye out. Does Torgue make something similar?
If i was to stand next to you.. how long would it take until i exploded? also.. if i did what color would my explosion be?
MISTER TORGUE! WILL WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET SOME SERAPH CRYSTALS IN YOUR CAMPAIGN OF CARNAGE!?!? HYPERIUS AND GEE HAVE BEEN FUN EXPLOSION MAGNETS BUT I WANT TO BLOW THE SH*T OUT OF MORE SERAPH GUARDIANS!!!!!!11!!!!!
MISTER TORGUE, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THIS VIDEO? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gr_p7Tfl2e0
MR. TORGUE.
DO EXPLOSIONS REALLY FIX EVERYTHING, OR HAS THERE EVER BEEN A SITUATION WHERE AN EXPLOSION WAS NOT THE SOLUTION?
HARD TO TYPE THIS WITH A STRAIGHT FACE, OF COURSE EXPLOSIONS FIX EVERYTHING! TAKE MY FIST BUMP OF EXPLODING MANLY PASSION!!!
I want to bench press explosions. Where do I sign up?
MISTER TORGUE WHAT IS THE BADASSEST EXPLOSION YOU HAVE EVER MADE HAPPEN? HOW MANY EXPLOSIONS COULD YOU MAKE HAPPEN WITH NOTHING BUT A CAT AND A BALL OF WOOL? What is love? THANKS FOR DOING THIS AMA ҉
MISTER TORGUE. I HAD HEARD TALE THAT YOU WERE CLOSE FRIENDS WITH SAXTON HALE. IS THIS TRUE AND IF SO, HOW DO YOU TWO HANDLE BEING IN THE SAME ROOM AT THE SAME TIME?
MISTER TORGUE IF YOU COULD BLOW UP A HORSE SIZED DUCK OR 100 DUCK SIZED HORSES WHICH WOULD YOU CHOOSE AND WHY
Could Mister Torgue create an explosion so big even he could not fully appreciate it?
WHY'S THE LEVEL CAP NOT EXPLODING TO SOMETHING MORE BADASS?? IM TIRED OF SITTING AT 50!! TO ME IT'S BS, JUST SAYIN!!
TWO QUESTIONS: HOW MANY WOMEN DOES EXPLOSIONS PICK UP AND WHAT DID YOU MEAN BY EXPLOSIONS SOON ON TWITTER. BONUS QUESTION: WHAT'S THE MOST BAD ASS THING YOU'VE EVER DONE.
This ought be be a series. Next up: Tiny Tina.
As for a question for Mr. Burch: Can you go into the process of writing a game or a DLC? Specifically, does Gearbox apply any kind of secret sauce as compared to the process in other studios? What sets the process apart?
Thank you so much to Gearbox for being a great sport here.
...Also, and I'm just saying, if there's not a DLC in which I can ride a skag or fly a buzzard we--all of us--have failed as a culture.
How many exposives do you own in your hut?
DOES THE DLC LACK EXPLOSIONS?
MISTER TORGUE.
DO YOU FEEL AS PASSIONATELY ABOUT IMPLOSIONS AS YOU DO EXPLOSIONS?
WHAT IS ONE THING YOU WANT TO EXPLODE THAT YOU HAVE NOT EXPLODED YET!?
Mr Toggue, I am looking for a new rocket launcher that has a good rate of fire, quick reload, and can easily fit within my budget. Do you have any recommendations?
WHAT WOULD HAPPEN IF YOU RAN OUT OF THINGS TO EXPLODE?
HEY SO UM YEA.....HAVE ANY BAD ASS TORGUE SHIFT CODES? JUST SAYING.....
WHICH IS BETTER? A KA-BOOM OR A KA-BLOOEY?
WHERE IS THE TORGUE SNIPERS
I love Tediore brand guns because they explode in people's faces when thrown. Why doesn't Torgue guns do that? More explosions = Better right? Everything needs the ability to explode.
MR. TORGUE, WHAT'S YOUR ASS-KICKING PLAYLIST FOR EXPLODING THINGS?
ALSO, YOU'RE AWESOME AS FUCK. NEVER STOP EXPLODING SHIT.
MR. TORGUE WHAT ARE YOU'RE VIEWS ON TEDIORE GUNS RELOAD EXPLODE? RELOADING EXPLODING... EXP-LOADING?
ARE YOU RICHER THAN HANDSOME JACK? (YES, EXPLOSIONS ARE A FORM OF CURRENCY.)
DID YOU COME UP WITH THE NAMES OF THE TORGUE ROCKET LAUNCHERS YOURSELF, YOU EXPLODING BAD ASS, YOU? ҉
WHY HASN'T TORGUE CREATED A ROCKET LAUNCHER THAT LAUNCHERS ROCKET LAUNCHERS... WTH A CAT ON THE SIDE?
MISTER TORGUE
EVER SINCE I FOUND YOUR "BAD TOUCH HULK", I'VE BEEN IN LOVE!
WHY HAS NO OTHER MANUFACTURER MADE A SHOTGUN WITH THREE BARRELS THAT FIRES ROCKETS AND HAS A GODDAMN MACHETE ON THE END?
I have a non-explosion-related question for you, Anthony. How much time does it typically take to come up with the story for a game such as Borderlands? What about for a DLC?
HOW MUCH DO YOU MISS BILLY MAYS?
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IMPLOSIONS?
HOW MANY ROCKETS CAN YOU FIT IN MY ROCKET SO I COULD ROCKET WHILE I ROCKET?
Click Restore to load this comment.
WHY DON'T YOU MAKE AN EXPLOSIVE SHIELD THAT EXPLODES WHEN YOU GET HIT BY AN EXPLOSION? EXPLOSION2 IS BETTER THAN 1 EXPLOSION.
JAKOBS RULE. REMEMBER, IF IT TOOK MORE THAN ONE SHOT, YOU WEREN'T USING A JAKOBS. A TORGUE, MAYBE. FOR PUSSIES WHO LIKE CIRCLEJERK RELOADING.
CAN YOU GIVE US SOME INFO ON NEW TORQUE EXPLOSIVE WEAPONRY?
WHY DON'T YOU PUT A METRIC FUCKTON OF EXPLOSIVES INTO THE HYPERION DEATH STAR THINGY AND BLOW IT THE FUCK UP?!?!? MEOW BOOM
Why do your explosive assault rifles SUCK so much? They shoot super slow and only blow up air particles
Hey, Mr. Torgue. Since you are all about being a Badass, and badassness in general, perhaps you could answer a question for me. When do you think we can expect a patch that fixes the un-badassing of players? Many of us Badasses out there have been unfairly stripped of our badass rank by some devious bug that made it past the good folks at Gearbox. We badasses need to know when we will be at full strength once again.
WHY IS THIS NOT ON THE FRONT PAGE???
WHERE'S THE DETONATOR?
WHO ARE YOU, I'M TOO BLINDED BY YOUR CAPS TO READ WHAT YOU SAID IN THE THREAD TEXT SHIT AT THE TOP
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MALIWAN?
MISTER TORGUE, I HAVE A COMPLAINT ABOUT MY TORGUE WEAPON...IT HAS GREAT STATS BUT WHENEVER I USE IT, IT DOES NOT DAMAGE THEM SKAGLICKIN' BANDITS. THE EXPLOSIONS HAPPEN BUT NO DAMAGE IS GIVEN. IT HAPPENS WITH DIRECT HITS. IS THERE A WAY FOR MY TORGUE TO FIRE MANLY, BEARD-GROWING(THEN SINGEING) EXPLOSIONS RATHER THAN THESE FAIRY-LIKE ORANGE-RED PUFFBALLS?? I WANT DEADLY 'SPLOSIONS OR I WILL REBUILD THE ATLAS CORPORATION WITH MY BARE HANDS AND DECLARE WAR ON TORGUE...IT WILL BE AN EXPLOSIVE ONE. GOOD DAY SIR.
Do you not look at the explosions you make, so that you are more of a badass?
What's the difference of picking either Moxxi or Tina for a sponsor? Also, did your grandma have a good time gumming that poor sucker to death?
WILL WE BE ABLE TO GO PAST LEVEL 50?
WHAT DO EXPLOSIONS TASTE LIKE?
YOU'VE SHARED WITH US YOUR VIEWS ON PUNCTUATION, LOWER-CASE LETTERS, AND CATS. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT MANNERS? IS HOLDING THE DOOR OPEN OR SAYING THANK YOU LAME OR AWESOME?
fuck marry explode.
a cat. an american made car. morocco mole.
Will Tina Tina ever get her own DLC?
WILL BUTTSTALLION EVER MAKE AN APPEARANCE?
Anthony, How long did you spend writing the script until its current form?
WHAT DO YOU THINK OF MY NAME?
HOW MUCH COULD BADASSAURUS REX EXPLODE THE WARRIOR AND THE DESTROYER?
THIS ҉ NEWS IS GREAT, I HOPE IT MEANS THE LEVEL CAP WILL ALSO BE ҉ 'D.
MR. TORGUE, WHY DON'T LOOKING ON EXPLOSION IS BADASS WHEN I CAN'T SEE EXPLOSION AND THAT'S SH ҉ T?
Was the ending for BL2 written open ended to allow for any direction in story or is there already one in mind?
OOC Question: How closely do the Design and Writing teams generally work? Are you talking to the gameplay guys a lot and bouncing ideas back and forth, or are you just writing dialogue while they just tell you what the gameplay decisions are?
WHY IS MICHAEL BAY TRYING TO MAKE EXPLOSIONS
THAT P*SSY HAS NOTHING ON YOU!
I CANT WAIT TO EXPLODE EVERYTHING! MISTER TORGUE, CAN WE EXPLODE SHIT TOGETHER?
TORGUE, WHAT'S YOUR OPINION ON SNIPERCAT ( http://images6.fanpop.com/image/photos/32200000/Sniper-Cat-random-32283357-500-444.jpg )? DOES HE STAND MUCH OF A CHANCE IN YOUR FELINE ARMY OF DESTRUCTION?
I HAVE TWO QUESTIONS: WHAT FONT IS EXPLOSION?! WHY AREN'T ALL LETTERS UPPERCASE?!
MR TORGUE
HAVE YOU THOUGHT OF MAKING MORE AWESOME GUNS WITH MORE UNIQUE EXPLOSIONS?
EXPLOSIVE HARPOON GUN? ORBITAL ION CANNON? BULLETS THAT CAUSE EXPLOSIONS THAT LOOK LIKE A SUPER BADASS CONSTRUCTOR JUST DIED?
HOW DO I TYPE THE EXPLODEDROID? I AM TIRED OF THESE LIMP D*CK EXCLAMATION POINTS!!!!
I WANT A MISTER TORGUE SKIN/HEAD OR ELSE SHIT'S GONNA BE BLOWN UP ҉

HOW COOL WAS IT WHEN "DAVE" GOT BLOWN OFF OF THE CLIFF FACE WHEN TRYING TO SET UP THE SHEILD? (I FORGET WHERE I WAS WHEN I SAW IT)
MR.TORGUE. IS EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA SOMETHING YOU LOOK FORWARD TO?
How do you keep explosions fresh and exciting?
Mister Torgue, if my cat won't eat grenades, will other explosives do?
HI MISTER TORGUE IM A FAN OF YOUR GUNS AND EXPLOSIONS AND SH*T

HAVE A BLAST YYYEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH
I'VE BEEN HEARING THAT YOU HAVE A CAMPAIGN.
SHOULD WE BE EXPECTING TO SEE "MISTER TORGUE 2016" ADVERTS ANYTIME SOON?
It looks like due to the announcement if your opening day tomorrow, Torgue sales have rose 50434534543%, how are you going to celebrate?
Which moves you more: the sound of an explosion, or the smell of an explosion?
Besides Torgue, who is your favorite manufacturer? Also what do you think of people who call Torgue "Torque"?
MR.TORGUE CAN YOU PLEASE BLOW ME UP. SIR
Will you ever make anything more explosive than the baby maker? cause that gun has a lot of sploding power!!
Will we be able to complete your DLC without the last mission bugging out on us?
I'm still "left with Master Gee" even though I've beaten him several times. :(
Don't fail me Torgue!
Do you just let your voice EXPLODE out? Or are you just really angry about the general lack of explosions in everyday life?
Is it true that Brad Nicholson based his life on you?
MR. TORGUE, WHY DON'T YOU MAKE A WEAPON WITH AN EXPLOSION IN AN EXPLOSION IN AN EXPLOSION? (EXPLOCEPTION?)
DO YOU HAVE A COUNT ON THE EXPLOSIONS YOU CAUSED UNTIL THIS MOMENT?!?!!!!!!!
MR. TORGUE, WHERE DO YOU LIKE TO GO FOR AN EXPLODING GOOD TIME?!
HEY MISTERTORGUE, WHEN CAN WE EXPECT TO SEE MORE EPIC EXPLORIONS IN BORDERLANDS 2?!? I WANT TO EXPLODE MORE THINGS, USE MORE GUNS THAT MAKE BIG EXPLOSIONS, GUNS THAT EXPLODE WHEN YOU EVEN SHOOT THEM, GUNS THAT MAKE ENEMIES TURN INTO EXPLOSIONS MAKE OTHER THINGS EXPLODE, A NEVER ENDING CHAIN REACTION OF EXPLOSIONS!
ALSO, WILL YOU ALSO ENDORSE MAKING A VEHICLE IN WHICH IT'S SOLE PROPULSION IS EXPLOSIONS?!
IF YOU COULD EXPLODE ONE PERSON OUT OF EVERYONE EVER WHO WOULD IT BE?
WHAT IS YOUR SECOND FAVORITE GUN BRAND?
MISTER TORGUE. CAN YOU MAKE A SHIELD THAT RELEASES GRENADES THAT RELEASE BOOSTERS WHEN EXPLODE?

MISTER TORGUE I F*CKING LOVE YOUR GUNS! TORGUE SHOTGUNS CAUSE THE MOST ANARCHY! WHAT KIND OF TORGUE GUN WOULD YOU USE?
If one filled a burrito with explosives and threw it directly at the feet of someone how deep would the hole be after the blast?
I ENJOY EXPLODING THINGS. HOW CAN I EXPLODE THINGS FASTER AND INTO MORE BITS THAN EVER BEFORE? I AM VERY INTERESTED IN MACHINE GUNS THAT EXPLODE. HOW ABOUT AN ASSAULT RIFLE THAT SHOOTS EXPLODING KNIVES? IT STAB-SPLODES! EX-STAB-LODES?
TORGUE GUNS HAVE MORE POWERRRRR http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LCl5uyn5K7k

MISTER TORGUE CAN YOU REPORT ANY ADVANCEMENTS UPON THE FIELD OF EXPLOSIONS CAPABLE OF EXPLODING AGAIN. IF CATS WERE TO RAIN DOWN UPON PEOPLE AFTER THE FINAL (FOR NOW) EXPLOSION THAT WOULD BE JUST A CHERRY ON THE TOP.
Do androids dream of exploding sheep?
MR. TORGUE, WHAT IS YOUR RELATION TO MICHAEL BAY? DO YOU PROVIDE HIS EXPLOSIONS?
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE EXPLOSION?
IMAGINE IT, TWO TURRETS THROWN OFF BY AXTON, with nuclear explosion, TWO BIGASS EXPLOSIONS!

Have you figured out how to make explosions explode?
Will your cats make a cameo in the new DLC, sir?! And will there br a level cap raise, so we can make BIGGER AND BETTER EXPLOSIONS??!! Sir ҉
MR.TORGUE SIR! WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF SAXTON HALE CHALLENGED YOU TO A FIGHT, SIR! also a cat explosion would be nice.
Who explodes more? You or Mythbusters?
Will I be able to get an explosive Baby maker?
MY ONLY ISSUE IS THAT I CANNOT LEVEL UP HIGHER THAN 50, SO MY EXPLOSIONS WILL SOON MEET A POINT IN WHICH THEY CANNOT BE BESTED. WHEN WILL THIS CHANGE?
MISTER TORGUE I HAVE TO SAY THAT I LOVE YOUR PUNCTUATION MARK ҉
MR. TORGUE, I HAVE MANY MANY BARS OF ERIDIUM AND WANT TO GIVE IT TO SOMEONE IN EXCHANGE FOR WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION. CAN WE WORK A DEAL??
WHEN ARE WE GOING TO GET MORE LEVELS?
WHAT IS YOUR OPINION ON THE BAND DETHKLOK
I THINK YOU'LL FIND THEIR SONGS SUCH AS BLOODROCUTED AND HATREDCOPTER TO BE PRETTY FUCKING AWESOME
THAT IS ALL I AM NOT MANLY NOR AUDACIOUS ENOUGH TO ASK MORE OF YOU
CAN YOU GIVE US A LEVEL CAP INCREASE?
MISTER TORGUE!
I NEED A SNIPER RIFLE THAT SHOOTS BULLETS THAT EXPLODE!!!

WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE WEAPON TO MAKE? ALSO CAN I HAVE YOUR CAT?
100 midget-sized explosions or one goliath Torgue explosion?
I've been told this is your favorite song: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4AVWZwZq_QU
Some say is this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sqz5dbs5zmo
But I'm almost sure it's this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VbxgYlcNxE8
Specially this one part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=VbxgYlcNxE8#t=838s
Could you please illuminate us about your favorite music, Mr. Torgue?
Better song:
"We have explosives"
or
"You dropped a bomb on me"
??
MR. TORGUE, IF HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO RE-EXPLODE SOMETHING WHAT WOULD IT BE? AND WHY?
Out of all the vault hunters, on pandora, who is the most promising?
WHY DO ALL OF THE OTHER GUN MANUFACTURERS SUCK SO MUCH?
So is it true that you like things that explode? Cause my mom makes a mean chili
What is your favorite Torgue shotgun?
Who is the hottest woman you've had the pleasure not to sleep with?
Can you explode Master Gee without the game crashing or are you like the rest of us?
Are cats used in torgue testing?
PUT THE CAT BACK ON BEFORE YOU EXPLODE IT
WHERE ARE THOSE ERIDIAN ARTIFACTS THAT MAKES OUR SWORD/AXE/FISTS EXPLODE? AND I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THOSE ROID SHIELDS EITHER! DO YOU EXPECT ME TO PUMMEL MY ENEMIES WITH CHEAP ROID DAMAGE? I WANNA BEAT THEM UP WHILE BLASTING/BURNING/SHOCKING/MELTING THEM! TORGUE BETTER BE MANUFACTURING THESE BABIES, WHILE MALIWAN RIPOFFS OF THEM WITH CHEAP ELEMENTS!
YOU SHOULD TOTALLY MAKE A GUN THAT FIRES TEDIORE GUNS BUT REPLACE THE BULLETS IT FIRES WITH EXPLOSIVE BULLETS SO THAT IT'S A GUN FIRING AN EXPLOSIVE GUN FIRING EXPLOSIVE BULLETS THAT OR, MAKE A GUN THAT FIRES MIRV GRENADES.
It's spelled Torque. With a Q.
Have you ever used "Olfactory White"? http://www.nature.com/news/the-whiff-of-white-could-hide-strong-odours-1.11846 I use a product called "Phartz". It is a gas actuated small packet, placed strategically, which contains olfactory white. Reacting to a "silent-but-deadly" break of wind, the odor masking mixture effectively disguises the commonly unpleasant odor emitted when a person expels intestinal gas through the anus. Still in development is another product which employs "white noise" to neutralize the sound commonly associated with breaking wind.
hi mister torgue ya see i saw that video of u and what i really wanna know
is who was using that bolo tie u or the shark. AND DONT ANSWER ME JUST YES OR IM GONNA FIND U TIE U UP AND MAKE U SEE HOW I BLOW UP UR CAT. And dont wrry im not gonna make u anything i dont hurt animals.
Who is this guy and why is he yelling?
explodes
Tiny Tina......it's Ashley isn't it?
My friend and I are deeply in love with your beard Anthony. Take a picture and send it to me.
this was absolutely hysterical. thank you for making my night.
I haven't played borderlands (YET!) so I just read all this in the strongbad voice.
If you could strap Eridium to The Warrior and detonate it, how big of an EXPOSION would that create?
Will the OSX version work with Steam Cloud (play on windows at home, OSX at work) ?
HEY! Use /ooc when you want to speak out of character. This is basic rp stuff man.
the question is simple... Pepsi, or Coke?
if you don't buy Torgue, then what are you?
Anthony, You are an inspiration to all of us creative people dreaming to get a job in the industry. This is some of the funniest stuff I have read in a long time. I appreciate that. The real question is though are we going to get that Scooter Expansion that was "discussed" during the panel at PAX Prime earlier this year?
(For Anthony, sorry Mr. Torque.) What was your favorite episode of HAWP to make? What do you think is the best episode? Also is it possible to ask Ashley the same question? Thanks :D

What is the prettiest bestest splosion you ever did saw? And whats you're favorite useo thermite!?
What is the RE factor of C-4?
I couldn't care less about Borderlands, but I like you.
Have an upvote.
Are you and saxton hale in any way related?
What do you think about black ops 2?
You should consider co-directing a movie with Michael Bay...
Fuck I love Gearbox.
what's the difference between and explosion and an implosion? sperm?
I had to double check this wasn't /r/circlejerk
It's like Gearbox did a study on what made Reddit Reddit, and came up with the single most comprehensive Karma garnering AMA possible. Bravo Gearbox, Bra-fucking-vo.
was guts man a design inspiration for piston?
The most explosive AMA yet.
Would you rather blow up 100 duck sized horses, or one horse sized duck?
Are you gonna betray the *&% out of me?
Holy shit. Man, I didn't know you got a job at Gearbox. I loved Borderlands 2. And Hawp, and your episodes about indie games, and game writing. Then it seemed like you just kind of dropped off. And joined the infinite pantheon of internet heroes, like Zefrank. (Bitch please, don't even joke, you count up there, too. Shit's for real.)
Anyway, for no practical reason at all it pleases me that you're still "out there" making things happen for games, and not still stuck working at a blockbuster. (Like how do I even still remember that wtf?)
I guess those aren't questions.
Question: How different/far removed is the process of writing for a major game as compared to, say, "shooting the shit" or a random DnD session?
Hei Tourg, Bandit her, why do al yuor guns hav such smal magizines? wuoldnt biger magizines mean mor explosons? our rawket lawnchers fire more misles per shoot, maens biger boom, am i ritgh? Yew an me, we shuld outsorces an put OUR magizines with YUR explodi-guns fur mor, biggr explosons.
)mayby we can git vladof to make the barrls, so rockts go fastr and theres more realy fast)
Wht do yuo thnk?

MR TORGUE, I SUBMIT THAT DOGS ARE BETTER THAN CATS, BECAUSE YOU CAN TRAIN DOGS TO SNIFF FOR EXPLOSIVES SO YOU CAN FIND EXPLOSIVES AND THEN EXPODE THEM ҉
Is it true that you also voice the Goliaths?
Will you be making more HAWPs?
Sshh! which wire do I cut? It's noise-activated.
Oh my god I can't keep reading this thread, my head hurts from all the yelling.
Hello Mr. Burch! I just wanted to say I'm a huge fan of your work. Especially HAWP. I listen to your podcast all the time. I also met you once, at MAGfest. (Any chance you'll come back some time?) Keep on being an awesome dude. :D
How's HAWP coming along man?
Sup Tourgue its Tediore. Wanna go hit up Moxxis at Sanctuary later?
On the subject of HAWP - I love hearing the 'Keepin it Real' interviews, but I also miss the more classic format of hearing you guys talk about interesting things. Will we get any more of that soon?
Mr. Torgue, what is your relationship status?
I WAS JUST WONDERING... DO YOU LIKE EXPLOSIONS AND STUFF, LIKE SHIT BLOWING UP?
Do OPs automatically get comment karma? Because he's saying some pretty random stuff....hesitant to send this but.
dearest mr. Burch.
what is up with the badass paradox/dumbbullshitsauce in control core angel?
HEY TORGUE. LEGENDARY REDDIT POSTER MARTERFCGAVIN HERE. AS WE ALL KNOW, /R/ATHEISM IS LITERALLY THE WORST THING ON THE INTERNET. WHAT, IN YOUR OPINION, MAKES IT SO OBJECTIVELY AWFUL?
EXPLOSIONS ARE BADASS, SO MY QUESTION IS WHAT DO YOU THINK OF NATHAN EXPLOSION, THE SINGER FOR DETHKLOK?
ARE YOU WORKING ON ANYTHING OTHER THAN GYROJETS, I WAN'T FASTER EXPLOSIONS!!!!!!!!! !
I like Rogue guns because they shoot explosions, however I have to stop exploding things to reload. Tediore guns will explode when I stop shooting them, but won't explode while I'm shooting them. Have you considered a joint project with Tediore to create a gun with zero percent downtime on explosions?
IF YOU LIKE EXPLOSIONS ҉ SO MUCH THEN HOW COME YOU'RE STILL IN ONE PIECE?..... COWARD ҉
Anthony: How challenging is it to write a story that is broken up due to no guaranteed story path?
And how did you ever get a chance to meet my father's childhood friend Randy? It's obvious you based the Nomad and Goliath on him. ;)
MR. TORGUE, YOUR THOUGHTS ON THE BIG BANG AND/OR EXPLOSIVE DIARRHEA.
GO.
What are your thoughts on the failed suicide bombing of the guy who shoved explosives in his ass? Would he have been more successful if he used torgue brand explosives?
Edit: here's a link! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abdullah_al-Asiri
MR TORGUE, DO YOU EVEN LIFT?
I don't know if this was asked already. Would you rather blow up 300 duck sized horses or 1 horse size duck?
WILL WE BE BLOWING UP ALOT OF VEHICLES IN YOUR CAMPAIGN OF CARNAGE?
Mr. Torgue, since you hacked Gaige's ECHOcast, can you hack the Quick Station Machines so respec also lowers the Vault Hunter's health? That way, high-level Vault Hunters can join their lower-level friends by simply respec-ing and getting adequate-level equipment.
Thanks!
Why is there something rather than nothing?
HEY! HOW DO YOU FUCK BITCHES WITHOUT EXPLODING?
WHATS THE BIGGEST THING YOU EVER EXPLODED?
MR TORGUE, DO YOU SUFFER FROM PREMATURE EXPLOSIONS IN YOUR LOVE LIFE?
Hopefully your DLC won't include raid bosses
WHY IS THERE NO EXPLOSIVE TORGUE SHIELD?! I CAN GET AN ELEMENTAL BUT NO EXPLOSIVES! LET ME HAVE MORE EXPLOSIONS!
Torgue Should design a gun that fires refined Eridium bullets that explode ҉ , is that even possible?
WHY ARE WE YOU ALWAYS WRITING IN CAPS? IS YOUR KEYBOARD BROKEN OR DO YOU LIKE TO YELL ALL THE TIME?
DO YOU LOOK AT EXPLOSIONS?
PS: YOU AREN'T EXPLODING RIGHT NOW, THAT'S BULLSH**!
Any chance that an increase to the level cap is coming out soon?
PLEASE POST A GOLDEN KEY TO VERIFY.
im a guy that likes blowing shit up. one day ill buy a boat. with a house. put a bunch of dynamite all over it and blow them to high hell. so... can i get a job at Torgue?
Approximately how many explosions will there be in your related add-on content? & will I need protective gear? o.O (LOL!!! =])
MR. TORGUE! I SHIT YOU NOT, A 19 YEAR OLD BOY WAS ARRESTED IN MY COUNTRY FOR MICROWAVING HIS CAT AND CAUSING BOTH TO EXPLODE!!!

I'M NOT GONNA LIE MISTER TORGUE I REALLY LIKE MALIWANS!
I thought you was gunna talk about real explosions.
I had to google the reference. 2/10 would not read again.
Since you make awesome guns that 'splode, will you ever make nades that shoot bullets that explode? Like a MIRV 'cept the child nades are homing guns that shoot from the skies then divebomb in majestic fustercluck with a gooey enemy center.

Do you have to shout everything?
Tinnitus! Tinnitus everywhere!
MR TORGUE,
HAVE YOU EVER MADE LOVE EXPLOSIONS WITH MISS MOXXI? IF NOT WOULD YOU?
Can we have a gun that shoots explosions and those explosions explode more?
when will we be able to use our golden keys for something useful?
YOUR GUNS ARE BAD AND YOU SHOULD FEEL BAD
Will your cats make a cameo in the DLC? Also, will the level cap raise so we can have BIGGER EXPLOSIONS??? ҉

Will there be new weapon varieties? (not only unique weapons) Will there be new legendary weapons introduced that are completely new?

This is the dumbest fucking thing I've ever seen on Reddit.
You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.
when will we get new weapons that don't suck?
i sure hope the torgue factory continues to make those fine products after i kick your butt mr.torgue..... you got some place safe to keep your kitten? ha ha ha!!!
Do you even need explosives? I bet the bandits explode if you so much as look at them. Hell, are any of us safe arou ---Explodes (Sorry, we are having technical difficulties.)
Why did you leave out the zoom level on sniper rifles on borderlands 2. Is there an easy way to tell without looking through the scope? Can't wait until tomorrow BTW.
YOU GUYS ARE ALL DICKS!! DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE EVEN TALKING TO!?!? THIS IS MISTER TORGUE FOR SKAGS-SAKE ҉
I would appreciate if you would all please take off your caps lock. Thank you.
CHUCK NORRIS VS SALVADOR WITH TWO TROGUE WEAPONS WHO WILL WIN ҉ ALSO NEW LEGENDARIES IN THE COMING DAYS OF YOUR CAMPAIN ҉
Why are your guns so mediocre?
I DON'T THINK THERE'S A SINGLE REAL ANSWER IN THIS AMA!
WHAT KIND OF CAT DO YOU HAVE?
I USED TO BE ADVENTURER LIKE YOU, BUT THEN I TOOK AN EXPLOSION TO THE KNEE!
Can you blow up the freezing issue (STUPID BUGS) which is keeping me from chilling with you tomorrow!? ALSO EXPLOSIONS.
Btw, you and Tiny Tina might get along, you want me to introduce you?
How bout some golden keys?
WHAT'S YOUR FAVORITE TYPE OF EXPLOSION?
YES
It's the perfect answer.
We also would have accepted the answer "TORGUE".
ANY ANSWER FROM MISTER TORGUE IS A PERFECT ANSWER
This is it. Im done. We can just delete the sub now.
