Davs having fun at Randy's expense. It must be the way they can criticize him publicly.

I'm pretty sure it's just a Dark Knight reference , most of the red text effects on guns are movie references.
"Healgasm", "Magic", "overflowing"...but nah its the Dark Knight. Did you mistake the porn parody version to the Nolan one?

Even references a female BL character that has a lot of sexual innuendo in her dialogue. I'd believe it was a DK reference if it was a gun that shot pencils.

I'm talking about the red text, they're all movie and pop culture references, always have been.

Borderlands is made by guys who think that CAD comics were really funny

Pitchford literally called the jailbait video a "magic trick" on that podcast interview he did before he got in trouble, everyone who's doubting this is a reference is delusional.

But I have to say... it's pretty funny that they're making fun of that. I don't normally think Borderlands's humor is any good but you got give props where it's due.

Why is this bad? That usb stick always had a legally aged sex worker performing said 'trick'. I don't understand why people are upset lol.

Of all the weird shady shit Pitchford has done or said, carrying portable legal porn around is the least egarious.

Era has it for him since that stupid Aliens game. They'll shit on him every chance they get, even if it's false information.

Because according to Era if you are older than 18 and watch porn of 18 year olds you are a weird freak. Holier than thou attitude strikes again.

That seems a bit of a stretch ahah. Even if it is a reference....I guess I don't care. Unless I missed part of the story about the porn drive...was he like showing it to people he shouldn't have been or?

So you squirt on yourself and your allies? On the battlefield? That does take a magic touch.

"Overflowing" and "magic trick", come on.
I don't see how they could have made it clearer.
Even if the gun was named "Pitchford's magic porn video" there would still be skeptics.

Isn't Overflowing one of the games general prefixes?

When I see this, my first thought is: how many times will this game include jabs at the people who've publicly rebuked Randy Pitchford during the related, insane litigation process? Wade Callender and David Eddings both spoke out against Pitchford when that story emerged.

(Reminder: After I found this podcast's existence, Gearbox issued a formal PR blast linking to the "magic squirting" podcast. I can't imagine being an employee at Gearbox when that happened.)

I don't know if it's a reference or not but it's nice to always have a reminder about Borderlands' sense of humor every time I think about buying it.

It was left at a Medival Times and had the porn video of a girl squirting as well as Gearbox corporate documents. A weird combination of things to have on the same drive and especially one to leave behind.

Some people claimed the girl in the video was underage, but there wasn't really any proof to back that up.

100% bet Randy wanted this in the game.
Reminds me very much of the time he made that tweet that was like "What the hell is this, there's a Battleborn porn subreddit?!" and linked it and there was barely any content on it. It reeked of Randy creating it trying to drum up press for Battleborn.
