My esteemed colleague FB and I have just finished the Borderlands DLC known as The Secret Armory of General Knoxx. It went very well, thanks for asking. But after completing the primary storyline and defeating the General himself, we were handed a bonus mission for a secret final boss called Crawmerax the Invincible.

They weren't fucking about when they named that one.

We have just spent nearly an hour trying to put even the slightest dent in it's health bar only to be rewarded with a peasant's death every 30 seconds. We were killed by the Craw Maggots, the shittiest of it's minions, more times than we had been by some of the biggest bosses in the whole game. One time the lift glitched and dropped us to our deaths. EVEN THE LIFT KILLED US.

I'm just a little upset really. I was all chuffed with my evident bad-assery after kicking the crap out of Knoxx and his giant mech suit, and then I was swatted down by a giant angry lobster thing. Why is the lobster even angry? Why does everything on the planet of Pandora want me ground into a fine paste and used as some sort of fertiliser?

Although, that said, this game is like crack. Can't wait for the next DLC. Even if it is full of giant angry lobsters.
