Gearbox May Have Spoiled The ‘Borderlands 3’ Release Date
In case you’ve been asleep for the past week, Gearbox finally unveiled Borderlands 3 at PAX East 2019. And despite the fact that a release date wasn’t given at the announcement, Gearbox may have leaked it on their own.
In a now-deleted tweet from the official Borderlands Twitter account, a tweet stated that “Mayhem is Coming September 13.”, with the tweet also encouraging fans to pre-order Borderlands 3 to gain access to the Gold Weapons Skin pack.
Of course, given the date that this was sent (April 1st), some speculate that this was an April Fool’s Joke by Gearbox. However, it’s also reasonable to say that Gearbox accidentally sent the tweet prematurely, as more information about the post-apocalyptic shooter is expected later this week. Plus, they did delete it.
In addition to that, in another deleted tweet, Gearbox also leaked that the game could potentially be an Epic Games Store exclusive upon launch. This seems to be supported by a series of tweets by Gearbox’s Randy Pitchford regarding exclusives.
Whatever the case may be, Gearbox is expected to reveal more about the game on April 3rd.
“She’s mine, and I’m hers.”
The prison movie is a cornerstone of the cinematic landscape. Often adjacent to horror, there’s something inherently horrific about a building full of “convicts” jockeying for power. Criminal masterminds and the wrongfully convicted alike become pawns in a dehumanizing system and struggle to stay alive in the restrictive environment. Claire Denis pushes this genre to its outer limits with sci-fi and horror elements comparing incarceration to the prison of the human body. Her 2018 film High Life follows a group of prisoners turned astronauts who struggle to retain their humanity after the world has cast them out.
When we first meet Monte (Robert Pattinson), he’s raising a toddler on an isolated space station in the galaxy’s outer reaches. His daughter Willow was conceived through assault by fellow inmate Dr. Dibs (Juliette Binoche) as a part of her mission to reproduce in space. As Denis unpacks the story of this troubled crew, they slowly realize they have been discarded and forgotten. Some find freedom to enact their violent agendas while others try to retain a semblance of normalcy in the extreme environment. Essentially guinea pigs, Monte and his crewmates hurtle through space and grope for a reason to keep existing.
The Lady Killers continue Killer Moms Month with Claire Denis’ beautifully complex film. Co-hosts Jenn Adams, Mae Shults, Rocco T. Thompson, and Sammie Kuykendall chart the mysteries of the cosmos in their quest to understand the glacial plot. They’ll chat about screaming babies, space gardens, black holes and spaghetti along with heavier themes like reproduction and bodily autonomy. Why is Dr. Dibbs so obsessed with pregnancy? Why doesn’t Monte partake of the sex box? Does Mia Goth actually have a big booty and what really happened on that spaceship filled with dogs? They’ll approach the black hole and try to withstand spaghettification while zeroing in on the unpleasant themes of this exceptional film.
