You should really see a doctor about that... Or an arms dealer.

I've been playing a disgusting amount of Borderlands lately, enjoying the simple pleasures of exploding psycho bandits with rocket launchers that fire acid and looting their charred corpses for trivial amounts of money and rusty shotguns, but i've noticed a troubling fact...

Everyone on the planet of Pandora shits ammo.

Now maybe it's the alien physiology of the locals, or the mystical beings from another dimension having some effect, but every time I open a toilet lid on this dusty rock I find not the proverbial fudgecake, but a fresh clip for my SMG. In some cases the term "droppin' bombs" becomes all too appropriate and I find rockets in the bowl. Rockets. Honestly. Good luck squeezing those out.

In all fairness you can see where the developers were going with it. You have guns. Guns needs ammo. Ammo can be stored in toilets. Bingo! But the story behind it just doesn't add up. I mean, they bothered to throw in story about the wild Skags that roam the wasteland eating the bodies of bandits and adventurers, guns 'n' all, and then pooping out what they can't digest, therefore giving a likely means of finding weaponry in poo. But having good old human folk pooping out 12 buckshots for my shotgun is just plain weaksauce.

Oh, and for those who have completed the game, let us unite in a rousing chorus of "Really?! Are you shitting me? Not even ONE weapons crate? No, no that's fine, the squid monster will cover it. Really. Fuckers."
