Gear up for Sir Hammerlock’s Big Game Hunt -- the third campaign add-on for Borderlands 2, arriving January 15 -- with special in-game events leading up to its release!

The final day of festivities is upon us, as Pandora grows more dangerous (but also more rewarding) for those adventuring online alongside two or more players in True Vault Hunter Mode* -- should the varkids infesting Tundra Express, Caustic Caverns or Natural Selection Annex survive long enough to enter the pod state multiple times, they stand a far greater chance of morphing into the fearsome Vermivorous the Invincible. However, those that emerge victorious in their struggles against Vermivorous the Invincible also face greater rewards as the legendary Norfleet weapon is far more likely to appear upon his defeat.

This chance to hunt one of Pandora's most elusive beasts ends at 10:55AM CST / 4:55PM GMT on Tuesday, January 15

We're aware that some players on Xbox 360 may receive an download error when trying to obtain the latest Compatibility Pack and are working with Microsoft to get it addressed ASAP -- we'll post here once we have more details on the resolution.

In addition, we'll be extending Monday's Gear Up event and will be sharing more specifics on that once the above is resolved.

A new Compatibility Pack is rolling out on Xbox 360 to support the release of Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt.
 
We're hearing that the Compatibility Pack is now downloading properly on Xbox 360 for some and are continuing to work with Microsoft on this.
 
For those still experiencing the "Can't Download Compatibility Pack" error, please try adding the latest Compatibility Pack to your download queue from Xbox.com via this link: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Compatibility-Pack/bf89a132-b5dd-438d-9924-c4c573744977?cid=SLink

It may be a good idea to manually delete any previous "Compatibility Packs" from your console storage before downloading the new Compatibility Pack.

I've added the pack to my download queue and will attempt to download it for the 5th time when I get home from work tonight.   >:(

That's pants!

I can't really complain since I've completely abused the free Golden Key codes.  At one point I had nearly 30 keys.   O0  Still would be nice to get some more.

And, because they can't post anything on the internets that isn't true----

Tiny Tina is now being labelled racist by some...[Attack Initiative]

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeqYf70fC2E" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeqYf70fC2E</a>

Having read the article and a bunch of the tweets that [Anthony Burch] (BL2 writer) is being bombarded with on Twitter...I'm still not sure I buy the argument. Specifically if the comedic context of the Burch siblings isn't taken into account.

Thoughts? Comments? Rants? Worth discussing?

[Additional note]
Burch has stated the following:

Anthony Burch@reverendanthony
The last thing I want to be is exclusionary or prejudiced, so if Tina truly is problematic I'll change her.

Holy f*cking sh*t, people are idiots.

To assume only "black people" use urban vernacular is racist in & of itself.  To see racism in Tiny Tina, is only mirroring your own racism.

Tiny Tina is one of my favorite things in the Borderlands world.  If they cave to the misguided pressure of the ignorant internet at large, I would be very disappointed.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!

I won't be home for another 3+ hours.  I hope it's still live by then.   I REALLY wish they would let you input Shift Codes through a website instead of in-game only.  :-\
