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 sound like Zach Braff. Just sayin'

This is probably gonna get passed up, but oh well.

I don't by any means think that your work in any less valuable than anyone elses, but why, in your personal opinions, think that the average amount paid for the Humble Ebook Bundle is more than the average amount you see for the Humble Bundles for games? Would you say readers are more generous than gamers, or that the content is worth more? Or is it possibly the difference in target audience?
