Gaige: *Watches Marci explode into a cloud of red mist* Also Gaige: "Marci isn't getting in trouble for shoving me and that's bullshit" And this is why I love Gaige, I want her back and playable in Borderlands 4.
So would Claptrap be the Longest "History of" to do mainly because clap trap does a lot in marketing, side story, main story and DLCs. Also he was a playable character in Pre Squeal and in Spin Offs material the most.
Gaige has some wasted potential being a nerdy hardcore punk chick that is vunerable inside. I love gaige as a character with all her robot related phrases when she summons deathtrap. i just wish there would be more content with her.
stop hoping gearbox to care more about gaige. they truly wasted her potential. turning her from nerdy dorky badass inventor cyberpunk girl into confused wedding planner simping for a man that doesn't care much about her in borderlands 3. gaige got better treatments from fanmade fics and arts compared to gearbox's official canon-y stuff for her.
She is one of my favorite characters but her skill trees are a mess. Why they put her recochet about in a completely different tree from anarchy I will never understand.
The fact angel passed along her tech siren powers to tannis, and not gaige who she had a kind of relationship with in the background of bl2 is a crime. could have been such an interesting character upgrade and a worthwhile siren to carry on angel's legacy.
I'm still waiting for a DLC where you help her in getting rid of the crimebuster bots. Kind of feel like it's what she should have been doing between BL2 and 3.

i wish there was a comic on how they were brought together before the intro of BL2 happened. Like Axton, Zero, Salvador, Maya, Krieg and Gaige. And probably Maya told Gaige to protect Krieg in the back while the OG cast checked the disturbance inside the train
@@Fossfuris do you refer to bordlerlands 1 hunters? if so, i agree. borderlands 1 hunters are blander and too close to realism compared to the colorfully wacky and amusing borderlands 2 hunters.
@@kukuhimanputraraharja8084 Nah it's the fact they try to force you to like them by shoving them in every game. Lilith and Roland didn't even need to be in TPS.
I think her dad is genius Anarchist at some point in his life, like really? Pretty good at distractions? Golf Cart loaded with gasoline? Sabotaging transports?? Bruh, and her skill which basically named "Anarchy Stacks" XD
Game play Wise I go with Maya. Gage's skill trees are a mess. Why they put ricochet in a different tree from anarchy still has me wondering what they were thinking
I was never very interested in this character but after the bl3 hammerlock's dlc i played bl2 with her...shes fun to play with..also...I just realized that her deathtrap bots are used all over meridian meteoplex as police bots and delivery bots in borderlands 3
From what I understand, the arm isn't as sturdy as you'd think. Gaige alludes to the fact her new mechanical fingers broke off when she first tested out the "arm smashing concrete" part.
Same here, I love Gaige. I solo’ed all content with her, even though it wasn’t the easiest, zer0 was alot easier. But Gaige will always be my favorite and she really encapsulates that wacky borderlands feeling. I mean, what could be more BL that negative aim?! 😂
@@dennisnordlund902 She's my fave character by a huge margin. :) Also completely alters the way i play FPS games, i usually default to stealthy sniper builds. With gaige i instead go full anarchy and shoot shotguns at peoples faces point blank :D
The funniest part about all that is she got *third* place, as opposed to second, implying that Marcy's Dad didn't just bribe the judges to favor Marcy, but also to disfavor Gaige. Second place was probably a paper mache volcano.
nvm, anthony write a side novel 'debt or alive' where fiona and sasha gets roped into eden 5 revolutionary event with gaige at its center'... but sadly her dad died in that novel... gaige tries to resurrect him with device similar to what fiona used to resurrect sasha when sasha was dying in tftb final arc... but gaige fails to resurrect her dad... my heart is broken... why anthony, why?
I think what’s more interesting is that it doesn’t necessarily matter. If what we hear is true then Gaige should have gotten first (or at least above Marcy). So the fact that she didn’t begs a couple questions about how Gaige sees the world. I haven’t gotten too deep in the lore but if all we hear about the “buying off” the judges incident is from Gaige’s echos then it could be an unreliable narrator type thing. Where the family didn’t actually buy them off and Gaige only thought that because in her mind there’s no way the other girls bot could be better. We hear her call Marcy names in all of this and it’s all her opinion so in actuality it could be Marcy’s also into robotics and developed a great robot too. This is a rabbit hole though as with unreliable narrators, liars, and even those who overly exaggerate, if you question one aspect you have to question all of it. So maybe Gaige couldn’t accept that her bot is inferior and rationalized it with the theory that her family bought the judges. All of this^ is completely a guess based off of casual gameplay of Gaige and this video. I’m most likely wrong and that’s okay because I like the thought experiment of it all. I think it adds a little bit to her character too.
Pretty much her whole abilities page was a reference to the show My Little Pony which was really popular around the time that borderlands 2 came out. Also Jack has a diamond pony.
Gaige's trailer was my very first introduction to the Borderlands franchise, and convinced me to start years ago. Just got back into the game after a 5 year break, and she's never disappointed.
thats the worst decision ever that anthony and b3 writers did... making gaige wish humperlog is straight and notice her crush on him... and then b3 writers make it her biggest theme in b3 glt dlc while she's completely absent and irrelevant in b3 main story. also, humperlog would obviously demand gaige to use strapon and do all that futanari sht if gaige try to date him. borderlands writers forgot that when gaige was forced to have her voice changed to jack's voice in b2 to bypass the biometric security door to angel's chamber, one of gaige's idle quote have her try imagining flirting people with jack's voice, then immediately she stops and feel disgusted by herself while saying "EWW!!! CREEPY CREEPY CREEPY!!! NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN!!!"
@@strider117aldo9 Eista is a character from the BL3 DLC she appears in. She talks about him at the end. And about Dr. Zed, in the video she talks about it in what seems to be an idle dialog. But that's like dropping a bomb, come on Gaige tell us more!!!!
I've always felt uncomfortable playing with a Gaige Main because she looks EXACTLY LIKE a girl I used to date that was a tech nerd too. I'll always remember her 🥺♥️
Deathtrap is in my school vr game as a boss it was an elite unit for mass production, and they are very interesting where Deathtrap, after defeat, he becomes a perk (it acts the same as the Mant perk from the game Grounded) and she is still alive and acts as the perk upgrader
I feel like Gage was another character that they did wrong in boardlands 3. Her monolog about her loneliness [because she has to hide] is sad, even worse is the fact that when she thought she lost Death Trap the sadness in her voice almost broke my heart. Because of the hiding she has no friends, no family so Death Trap is all she has. Reminds me of the movie Cast Away were due to extreme loneliness the main character desperately sought emotional support from a beach ball.
not the only thing they got wrong with her. she should have been the one to inherit angels siren powers seeing as angel was helping out gaige in the background of bl2 during her time on pandora, and had almost nothing to do with tannis. gaige should have been the next tech siren to carry on angel's legacy. such a shame.
its totally nonsensical that gearbox made gaige drop her echocasting hobby for no reason. she would've been a great contributor in the war against calypsos through her echocast channel and also offers bl3 hunters the opportunity for more quests from gaige (especially resolving gaige's conflict with the holloways).
@@boom350ph gearbox planned to use her for marketing borderlands 2 contents. but ever since she was released, there's no more info about her echo or story. theres some gearbox twitter about torgue hijacking her echocast to promote the torgue dlc but i forgot where the link is. gearbox only add some more unique dialogues to her in wedding day massacre and son of crawmerax , but she doesn't mention anything about her echo cast. and iirc in bl3's hammerlock dlc she said she goes hiding as drifter looking for odd jobs here and there but still no mention about her echo cast too. imo she drop her echo cast because she doesn't want to be tracked by the holloways. just my headcanon. since gearbox seems to don't care much about gaige for some reason.
Feel like they really did her dirty in BL3. She was a science nerd, a child genius, and a robotics engineer, and what do they decide to do with her? Freaking wedding planner. If that isn't some bullshit idk what is
not the only thing they got wrong with her. she should have been the one to inherit angels siren powers too seeing as angel was helping out gaige in the background of bl2 during her time on pandora, and had almost nothing to do with tannis. gaige should have been the next tech siren to carry on angel's legacy. such a shame
@@septemberstarlight9362 Would the powers even work with the robotic arm? Not 100% sure here but since Siren powers seem to be rooted through the left arm and only the left arm I think that means Gaige can't become a siren due to her robotic left arm. Though I do see your point but 3 dropped the ball so many times during it's story that the ball ain't even in the same universe at this point.
Could those service bots in BL3 be those "Crime buster bots?" I mean their designs look vers similar to good ol DT himself and some of them are designed after police forces (the Constable bots and Billy club bots)
And it's also mentioned in-game that many of them are corrupt, so I'm thinking that you're probably right! They ain't got anything on Deathtrap though!
Since Halloway Robotics robots cause problems or make them worse instead of solving them I imagine they'll be getting sued and alot of complaints from their customers so maybe Halloway Robotics will suffer the same fate as the old Atlas did
1:14 . this boss right here. Deathtrap killed it with this beam while it was flying somewhere inaccessible to me and i never got any of the loot for it playing on true vault hunter mode. 😭
I loved Gaige up until endgame. I was really bummed when I started needing Anarchy and realized I'm screwed when it comes to solo-farming tough bosses... because I lose my Anarchy everytime I exit the game. It's so time consuming when everyone else can just jump back into the boss fight, whereas I have to farm Anarchy before fighting the boss again 😢
I agree with your assessment. Sal is at the top no question, but is kreig above her of below gaige? And do we bring the buck up glitch into this equation?lol.
new robot parts might not have the same memories of original DT. also Gaige treat DT like her lovely pet dog. so if DT dies it feels like her dog just gone forever.
Spoiler I play the Borderlands 3 DLC about Sir Hammerlocks wedding atm and must say I like the fact that Gaige is in it. From Vault Hunter and Merc to an Wedding Planer. What a career.^^ I dont judge her for this accident.
Probs to Gaige’s dad for not caring to much about Gaige cutting off her arm, she said he only screamed a bit like wow
We luv supportive parrents
In my headcanon her dad is also some half-crazy scientist which is why he has an understanding for her and why they bond so well.
My headcanon is he mentally freaked out but wanted to cultivate Gaige's creativity
no, in her 3rd echo vid (or in one of b2 gaige's idle in game quote?) gaige clearly stated that her dad is panicking seeing her blood everywhere after she cut her arm, but they quickly heals her arm and gaige successfully installed her robot arm.
b2 og gaige is a cool nerdy dorky badass cyberpunk anarchist cyborg engineer. she embraces her anarchy loving persona to survive the many deadly situations throughout b2, while simultaneously being a dorky sweet and teasing girl to her fellow vault hunters while also sometimes have fun breaking the 4th wall talking to players.
she wants her talent as robo engineer be respected. and she helps free the sanctuary citizens from the lulzy genocidal tyrannical regime of jack's hyperion, just like her true persona as the rebel teenager growing up to fight the good fight while being a dorky nerd inventor too, rising far above her past as a school bully victim due to marcie's snobby bully routines. and she also imply that she acknowledged in craw dlc that she's responsible for accidentally killing marcie through misprogramming dt, muttering that she's saying sorry to mr. holloway. but she knew her accidental crime in killing marcie pales in comparison to the holloways' many years of tyrannical corrupt ruling of eden 5 that needs to be stopped, so she goes back to eden 5 in the debt or alive side novel to free the oppressed people of her home planet just like what she did in pandora.
also, b2 og gaige's random quote when killing lots of enemies rapidly: START RUNNING! CLOWNS!
b2's simple story tone of 'everyone (players, b2 hunters, crimson raiders, sanctuary citizens and other oppressed pandora settlements like overlook) being united together fighting against jack's tyrannical genocidal oppression' works well for the general audience. b2's main story and gameplay aims to please most of its general audience, so most borderlands players have good memories with b2 whether its about gameplay (its the dark souls of borderlands series) or its story and characters or just the funny hilarious moments of b2.
i personally as indonesian really feel attached to b2's story because of its theme of unity against oppression. my country had suffered a lot through hundreds of years of imperialism, until we finally get the chance to be free from all kinds of oppressive imperialists back in 17 august 1945. all of my fellow indonesians always happily celebrate that 17 august as our most cherished independence day.
then b3 writers irreversibly destroyed most of the sense of unity and bonds of friendships that b2 main+side casts had made... especially between b2 hunters and the crimson raiders... disregarding the logical and necessary notion of reuniting the heroes of b2+b1.5+tftb back with crimson raiders when the threats of COV and the calypso twins to the survival of the 6 galaxies have become clear.
this is especially reflected when comparing og b2 gaige and b3 glt 'gaige'.
og b2 gaige hates bullies and tyrannical oppressive authorities, she's happy to embrace her chaotic good anarchist cyberpunk persona in combat while also simultaneously sometimes breaking 4th wall and being sweet and teasing to her friends. her dream is to become a badass vault hunter and super genius robo inventor engineer, and the 'saner, somewhat innocent and less psychotic' people of pandora appreciate her help in fighting jack's oppression.
meanwhile b3 glt 'gaige', only cares about appeasing humperlog's hmo hedonist demand (and humperlog doesn't even really pay much attention to gaige). she dislikes her anarchist cyberpunk persona that had helped her survive through deadly times of b2. both she and the crimson raiders doesn't care to help each other in protecting the 6 galaxies from the COV and the twins' threats, also everyone else doesn't seem to care about gaige's HUGE problem of her insanely high bounty hunt reward posted by the vengeful mr. holloway the eden 5 mafia lord. she only says a single line of sorry when informed that maya has died. she becomes depressed drunkard hopping from job to job while not caring about being badass vault hunter anymore. then she got letter invitation to become eden 5 teacher back in her school where back in the past she had so many traumas of being bullied by marcie holloway and being mocked by the boys because she's too nerdy.
what a way to destroy gaige's personality and blatant atrempt to retire her abruptly from the borderlands main stories! b3 writers! you just want to use gaige to appease your fetish for grandpa hmo fanfics while having hmo fans coo and aww'ed at the way b3 glt 'gaige' is depicted! you don't care about her true personality, her bonds with her b1+b2+crimson raiders friends, and her complex+stressful situation with the holloway mafia having endless money to send endless bounty hunters to hunt her!
imagine its like seeing a new regime disrespecting, tarnishing, retiring, disbanding and exiling the national heroes that helped unite the country and bring independence from imperialist oppressors to its people. and the new regime force everyone to bow and cater to the few elitists that like the hedonistic lifestyles that feel so similar to actual greedy filthy rich imperialists elites who oppressed them in the past.
its obvious b3 writers had so much favoritism for humperlog. to the point that even gaige who they don't care to include in b3 main story (when by popular demand all b2 hunters should be present and relevant in b3 main story) got oversimped as glt dlc humperlog fangirl but have all her other awesome og b2 gaige character like anarcy cyberpunk 4th wall breaking chuunibyou and enthusiasm for both vault hunting (note the blander design of her b3 glt version, the humperlog-ish monocle and lack of her b2 vault symbols on her belt and shoes) and roboengineerinventing simultaneously be overnerfed and censored... even her condolences to the news that maya is dead sounds lackluster (and i'll remind everyone how b3 writers doesn't even care to include the full set of b2 hunters in the unreleased cut content art panels for maya's funeral...)
even one of her glt side conversation imply that her eden 5 high school boards invited her to become a teacher there...
ignoring all her bad memories and trauma in there of being bullied by marcie and mocked by the boys for being too nerdy. its like b3 writers just set her up as disposable character to boost their humperlog fanfic cult and just want to retire her offscreen as a friggin teacher in the high school hosting many traumatic bad memories that she doesn't want to deal with anymore.
when i see those floating torsobots helper in b3 sanctuary i was so sad b3 writers doesn't care to include gaige in b3 main story... adding salt to the wound (b1 psycho reference) is that her nemesis mr. holloway had an echo log in an obscure b3 location that says he's still hunting gaige for the murder of marcie and the theft of crime buster blueprint.
adding more salt to the wounds is that b3 sanctuary has special trophy room owned by humperlog, yet they doesn't even care to make special rooms in sanctuary for b2 hunters who helped crimson raiders protect sanctuary citizen back in b2 era.
i couldn't care less with b3+ story anymore after i've seen clearly the truth of b3 writers' bad treatment for b2 hunters (except zer0. but even then they want to ship him with lorelei of all people) and the oversimping for humperlog. how could i enjoy b3+ games' gameplay when b3 writers insult and leave the legacy of b2 hunters in the dust?
in this case, claptrap from claptastic voyage has shown us da way when he rescued tk baha+marian+felicity from their canon deaths... claptrap shows us da way, that when the official canon direction decides to embrace the suck for whatever unfun reasons that disrespect the og characters, then we fans who cares about the og characters can just simply abandon the ugly unfun controversial parts of official canon and make our own headcanons that will give them og characters much better respect+fates.
og b2 gaige written by anthony burch is the only true gaige. long live og b2 gaige. let gearbox and fake nerfed lame controversial b3 gaige written by b3 clown writers embrace the suck as they trudge the damned path of b3+ canon and fade into obscurity.
og b2 gaige, you will always be one of my top favorite characters of all time. you help inspire me to forget and rise above the traumatic memories of being elementary school bully victim... you're like the childhood best friend (and more) i've never had in real life. your official owners may have shat and butcher your b3 official version onward, but at least you'll always have fans amd subscribers that loved your original self from b2.❤

I can’t believe Marcy got no repercussions for shoving Gaige
... Umm... I think exploding is a pretty big repercussion..
@@gilessaint-loup2426 r/woosh
She did shove her pretty hard
Pretty unfair if you ask me
Actually the bucket she was in put into the detention room
I think Gaige developed her alchoholism from the Wedding Day Massacre DLC from the segment where you have to find the oldest rotgut in the distillery
Or that time when she was ordered to infiltrate Zaford wake and needed to be drunk to enter.
There are 2 things
1 is in wedding massacre when she said that drinking wine is ok
And 2nd in crawmerax where she had a thirst on poisoned alcohol
Or the part where she was on the run for several years from a ludicrously gargantuan bounty with her only constant friend being a silent robot.
Drinking becomes a real easy getaway when you live in constant denial of being alone.
Also, interesting fact: In Borderlands 3, they gave her a new ability where she could kill people with her gaze
How doe
@@James-rs6uh wedding planners always have death rays, its the only way they can get anything done.
@@thomashongshagen4912 ah i see
Gaige: *Watches Marci explode into a cloud of red mist*
Also Gaige: "Marci isn't getting in trouble for shoving me and that's bullshit"
And this is why I love Gaige, I want her back and playable in Borderlands 4.
What about presequel between 2 and 3 where you play as her secretly saved AI in an upgraded crimebuster robot
I was really hoping Bl3 would have been all the previous vault hunters as playable characters, I guess I can still hope for BL4
one of my fave Vault Hunters
I like zero mostly cuz he was my first vault hunter and ther for the one I mastered and made my enemies kill themselves it their smart
@@Davidpoland2005 borderlands the prethreequal
So would Claptrap be the Longest "History of" to do mainly because clap trap does a lot in marketing, side story, main story and DLCs. Also he was a playable character in Pre Squeal and in Spin Offs material the most.
Like, talk about his systems from presequel dlc, he is so annoying that he was able to junk vault hunter program (shadowtrap) into quarantine
Gaige has some wasted potential being a nerdy hardcore punk chick that is vunerable inside. I love gaige as a character with all her robot related phrases when she summons deathtrap. i just wish there would be more content with her.
stop hoping gearbox to care more about gaige. they truly wasted her potential. turning her from nerdy dorky badass inventor cyberpunk girl into confused wedding planner simping for a man that doesn't care much about her in borderlands 3. gaige got better treatments from fanmade fics and arts compared to gearbox's official canon-y stuff for her.
The writers are mostly useless hacks who care more about memes than character development.
@@kukuhimanputraraharja8084 A wedding planner? Seriously?!
She is one of my favorite characters but her skill trees are a mess. Why they put her recochet about in a completely different tree from anarchy I will never understand.
The fact angel passed along her tech siren powers to tannis, and not gaige who she had a kind of relationship with in the background of bl2 is a crime. could have been such an interesting character upgrade and a worthwhile siren to carry on angel's legacy.
I'm still waiting for a DLC where you help her in getting rid of the crimebuster bots. Kind of feel like it's what she should have been doing between BL2 and 3.
That'd be Perfect. Call it. The Mechormancer's Blast of the Past.

I think her dad is genius Anarchist at some point in his life, like really? Pretty good at distractions? Golf Cart loaded with gasoline? Sabotaging transports?? Bruh, and her skill which basically named "Anarchy Stacks" XD
Gaige and Maya are tied as my *absolute* fav characters in the series so far. It’s so hard to decide which i like more.

Game play Wise I go with Maya. Gage's skill trees are a mess. Why they put ricochet in a different tree from anarchy still has me wondering what they were thinking
I was never very interested in this character but after the bl3 hammerlock's dlc i played bl2 with her...shes fun to play with..also...I just realized that her deathtrap bots are used all over meridian meteoplex as police bots and delivery bots in borderlands 3
That’s probably Marcy’s “design” the crime buster bots
Wait her arm is THAT strong? Then why does she use a hammer as her melee attack?
It's the same thing with Doomfist in Overwatch and his meele attack. It's a fecking joke
I mean it's still a metal object being wielded by that arm.
@@Flynn217something yea it still hurts like a L. O. T. lol
From what I understand, the arm isn't as sturdy as you'd think. Gaige alludes to the fact her new mechanical fingers broke off when she first tested out the "arm smashing concrete" part.
At least we have melee abilities like her digistruct claws, so thats a trade off
Do the history of RHYS
Or claptrap
Yes
Rhys ball
$820,000,000 is the actual amount of her bounty.

The way she said “bitch”😂
So metal! 😆 She was definitely my favorite playable char. Made for some difficult times with a few of the raid bosses but i was always a gaige main
Same here, I love Gaige. I solo’ed all content with her, even though it wasn’t the easiest, zer0 was alot easier. But Gaige will always be my favorite and she really encapsulates that wacky borderlands feeling. I mean, what could be more BL that negative aim?! 😂
@@dennisnordlund902 She's my fave character by a huge margin. :)
Also completely alters the way i play FPS games, i usually default to stealthy sniper builds.
With gaige i instead go full anarchy and shoot shotguns at peoples faces point blank :D
I can hear her idol comments saying "third place."
The funniest part about all that is she got *third* place, as opposed to second, implying that Marcy's Dad didn't just bribe the judges to favor Marcy, but also to disfavor Gaige. Second place was probably a paper mache volcano.
Fun character with a fantastic VA. I can't not hear Lucy Heartfilia every time she talks but still, fantastic
Oh God I didn't know that and now that you mentioned it I can't unhear that
@@narutokiubissj2
Cherami Leigh does a great job with all her roles, just a very fun voice
They should make a dlc where gaige and her father team up to take down the company that is after her
gearbox doesn't care about that. just make our own headcanon to give gaige better closure to her past.
nvm, anthony write a side novel 'debt or alive' where fiona and sasha gets roped into eden 5 revolutionary event with gaige at its center'... but sadly her dad died in that novel... gaige tries to resurrect him with device similar to what fiona used to resurrect sasha when sasha was dying in tftb final arc... but gaige fails to resurrect her dad... my heart is broken... why anthony, why?
Take THAT, Marcy!!!!! The way I see it, the anti-bullying tech worked properly as it did neutralize the bully lol
Gaige's dad is the best parent in Borderlands, other than Brick and Mordecai
I love relearning the history of my favorite cute anarchist VH.
Also as a side note I’ve often wondered one thing, who exactly won second place?
Second place was a potato-energy project; probably an extra fuck-you from Marcie (Rest In Piss)
I think what’s more interesting is that it doesn’t necessarily matter. If what we hear is true then Gaige should have gotten first (or at least above Marcy). So the fact that she didn’t begs a couple questions about how Gaige sees the world. I haven’t gotten too deep in the lore but if all we hear about the “buying off” the judges incident is from Gaige’s echos then it could be an unreliable narrator type thing. Where the family didn’t actually buy them off and Gaige only thought that because in her mind there’s no way the other girls bot could be better. We hear her call Marcy names in all of this and it’s all her opinion so in actuality it could be Marcy’s also into robotics and developed a great robot too. This is a rabbit hole though as with unreliable narrators, liars, and even those who overly exaggerate, if you question one aspect you have to question all of it. So maybe Gaige couldn’t accept that her bot is inferior and rationalized it with the theory that her family bought the judges.
All of this^ is completely a guess based off of casual gameplay of Gaige and this video. I’m most likely wrong and that’s okay because I like the thought experiment of it all. I think it adds a little bit to her character too.
Her dad is the most supportive father what a rare sight
wow gaige's father loves her alot thats a rare sight in borderlands
Yesss more main character story lines
“she has gotten a alcohol problem primarily with margaritas”
cheers bro i’ll drink to that
Yee haw
Pretty much her whole abilities page was a reference to the show My Little Pony which was really popular around the time that borderlands 2 came out. Also Jack has a diamond pony.
She is probably a pegasister also
History of Grandma Flexington
Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes
When I first learned how Gaige got her mechanical arm my inner Mechanicus nodded in approval. She's my favorite vault hunter of the franchise.
Gaige's trailer was my very first introduction to the Borderlands franchise, and convinced me to start years ago. Just got back into the game after a 5 year break, and she's never disappointed.
Basically she was kicked out of school and wanted for manslaughter for confronting another girl for plaigarism, sounds like Tik Tok
I loved her intro series so much. She's so batshit. :)
There's actually a fanfiction that continues her echo logs for the entire game.

@@Espacolehow were you able to post a comment with a link without UA-cam deleting it? Everytime I try to my comment gets removed.
@@lukeaustin4465 I have no clue, but I really recommend the fic
@@Espacoleboutta check these out, let's hope they got her character right
UNLIKE FUCKING GEARBOX!
Wow that is a great voice acting
Gaige's Dad wins father of the year award for being an awesome Dad.
Wait... A crush on Hammerlock?
(For context i got attach in the borderlands series a week ago)
And it’s worse, hammerlocks gay too, and a LOT older 😆
Yeah...younger girls being into older posh rich men is a thing...they have a word for it called "sugar baby"
Yeah I thought that was kinda weird until I remembered he is one of the only other characters with a robot arm
thats the worst decision ever that anthony and b3 writers did... making gaige wish humperlog is straight and notice her crush on him... and then b3 writers make it her biggest theme in b3 glt dlc while she's completely absent and irrelevant in b3 main story.
also, humperlog would obviously demand gaige to use strapon and do all that futanari sht if gaige try to date him. borderlands writers forgot that when gaige was forced to have her voice changed to jack's voice in b2 to bypass the biometric security door to angel's chamber, one of gaige's idle quote have her try imagining flirting people with jack's voice, then immediately she stops and feel disgusted by herself while saying "EWW!!! CREEPY CREEPY CREEPY!!! NEVER DOING THAT AGAIN!!!"
Gaige is my favorite vault hunter i always used her
I always love the stories of the borderlands characters.
Dr. Zed's wedding??? WHAT?
Also, not a word on her new crush Eista? hehehe
Where-s that info from? Idle dialogue? And who's Eista?
@@strider117aldo9 Eista is a character from the BL3 DLC she appears in. She talks about him at the end.
And about Dr. Zed, in the video she talks about it in what seems to be an idle dialog. But that's like dropping a bomb, come on Gaige tell us more!!!!
She does refer to it in the slass side quests
History of TORGUE!!! MEDLEMEDLEMEOOOOW!
Yes!!
Wahhh wahhh wahhh
Already don now
I've always felt uncomfortable playing with a Gaige Main because she looks EXACTLY LIKE a girl I used to date that was a tech nerd too.
I'll always remember her 🥺♥️
I feel like the history of Claptrap is gonna be a 2 parter
she casually hack off her arm....kudo to her courage
Bruh how miscalibrated was DT'S claws he touched Marcy and she fuckin exploded
I really enjoyed playing as little miss spray-n-pray.
My button finger has never really recovered.
She's my favourite VH part from Moze, and wow her voice actress is fricking amazing.
Deathtrap is in my school vr game as a boss it was an elite unit for mass production, and they are very interesting where Deathtrap, after defeat, he becomes a perk (it acts the same as the Mant perk from the game Grounded) and she is still alive and acts as the perk upgrader
6:46 Don't worry Gsige there's no such thing as Jail on Pandora.......Or law now that I think about it
Whole planet is basically an asylum guess we know why no law abiding citizen lives there
Jesus I never realized her arm was THAT strong. Also I love the dialogue where axton explains to Tina that she really doesn’t want to meet Aurelia
I feel like Gage was another character that they did wrong in boardlands 3.
Her monolog about her loneliness [because she has to hide] is sad, even worse is the fact that when she thought she lost Death Trap the sadness in her voice almost broke my heart. Because of the hiding she has no friends, no family so Death Trap is all she has. Reminds me of the movie Cast Away were due to extreme loneliness the main character desperately sought emotional support from a beach ball.
not the only thing they got wrong with her. she should have been the one to inherit angels siren powers seeing as angel was helping out gaige in the background of bl2 during her time on pandora, and had almost nothing to do with tannis. gaige should have been the next tech siren to carry on angel's legacy. such a shame.
It’s be really cool if gearbox did a dlc based on gage amd had the “crime buster bots” in it
*HAVING MADE HER DEBUT*
Gaige is better youtuber than the ttv calypso twins
its totally nonsensical that gearbox made gaige drop her echocasting hobby for no reason. she would've been a great contributor in the war against calypsos through her echocast channel and also offers bl3 hunters the opportunity for more quests from gaige (especially resolving gaige's conflict with the holloways).
@@kukuhimanputraraharja8084 wait SHE STOPPED? WHYYY ITS A HOBBY FOR A REASON now I'm sad
@@boom350ph gearbox planned to use her for marketing borderlands 2 contents. but ever since she was released, there's no more info about her echo or story. theres some gearbox twitter about torgue hijacking her echocast to promote the torgue dlc but i forgot where the link is.
gearbox only add some more unique dialogues to her in wedding day massacre and son of crawmerax , but she doesn't mention anything about her echo cast.
and iirc in bl3's hammerlock dlc she said she goes hiding as drifter looking for odd jobs here and there but still no mention about her echo cast too.
imo she drop her echo cast because she doesn't want to be tracked by the holloways. just my headcanon. since gearbox seems to don't care much about gaige for some reason.
Wow a robotic arm that can smash concrete. *Thats so metal*
Cherami Leigh is AWESOME
It is cherami Leigh?! I knew it!
Who else recognised, I knew it when I was thinking of Lucy Heartfilia of Fairy Tail during gameplays
Feel like they really did her dirty in BL3. She was a science nerd, a child genius, and a robotics engineer, and what do they decide to do with her?
Freaking wedding planner.
If that isn't some bullshit idk what is
not the only thing they got wrong with her. she should have been the one to inherit angels siren powers too seeing as angel was helping out gaige in the background of bl2 during her time on pandora, and had almost nothing to do with tannis. gaige should have been the next tech siren to carry on angel's legacy. such a shame
@@septemberstarlight9362imagine a Deathtrap summoned and amped by siren powers. Jesus the writters dropped the ball
@@septemberstarlight9362 Would the powers even work with the robotic arm? Not 100% sure here but since Siren powers seem to be rooted through the left arm and only the left arm I think that means Gaige can't become a siren due to her robotic left arm. Though I do see your point but 3 dropped the ball so many times during it's story that the ball ain't even in the same universe at this point.
Love your borderland history
I was constantly stolen from and tormented in the same way through all grade school and high school so I completely understand her feelings
138 stacks of anarchy and I accidentally reload instead of picking up loot is the only problem I have with her
Gaige is my favorite character
Could those service bots in BL3 be those "Crime buster bots?" I mean their designs look vers similar to good ol DT himself and some of them are designed after police forces (the Constable bots and Billy club bots)
And it's also mentioned in-game that many of them are corrupt, so I'm thinking that you're probably right! They ain't got anything on Deathtrap though!
They look pretty similar to deathtraps base chassis so you're probably right
Thank you for continuing this series
im not afraid to admit when i was 16 i had a crush on gaige. this video has reinstated said crush.
so this is pretty much big hero 6 gone wrong
also, there's some girl in big hero 6 that kinda looks similar to gaige.
This girl could be a worthy 3rd street saints member
Since Halloway Robotics robots cause problems or make them worse instead of solving them I imagine they'll be getting sued and alot of complaints from their customers so maybe Halloway Robotics will suffer the same fate as the old Atlas did
dayum, that voice acting on the echo logs is immaculate!
A DLC character with a fleshed out background, damn
What if Marci becomes a boss fight
Only if we use the same device that let us enter Krieg's mind would that work.
Lol, that dad is a G.
I loved this character
Gnarly. Anarchy was my shit. Gotta play her again. Been a while
@Eruptionfang Gaige's bounty is 820 billion not 82 billion.
Absolutely my favorite BL character, was my first major character playthrough
They should make a dlc where you as the vault hunter in borderlands 3 get to take out holloway robotics
1. Gaige has a good Papi
2. Of all places to escape the law from why pandora? Well I guess the law there is absolute Zer0 but still
1:14 . this boss right here. Deathtrap killed it with this beam while it was flying somewhere inaccessible to me and i never got any of the loot for it playing on true vault hunter mode. 😭
Really adorable how she broke down for going to the principle office lol ooooOOOO she in troubleeeee
You can only like country music for so long until you hear your 1,000,000th song about how beer is better than woman
Gaige and Tina best of friends.
I loved Gaige up until endgame. I was really bummed when I started needing Anarchy and realized I'm screwed when it comes to solo-farming tough bosses... because I lose my Anarchy everytime I exit the game. It's so time consuming when everyone else can just jump back into the boss fight, whereas I have to farm Anarchy before fighting the boss again 😢
Theres a gun that never reloads and can go down to 1 bullet for perma anarchy
Man never thought gaige was that much of a badass but damn concrete?
The addiction to Margaritas is the same as my grandma
I love Gaige.
This is why I main Gaige.
Okay but she is my favorite character.
💯
In my opinion gaige was the 2nd or 3rd most powerful vh if u ran the right build
I agree with your assessment. Sal is at the top no question, but is kreig above her of below gaige? And do we bring the buck up glitch into this equation?lol.
@@RepressedMemories16Gaige can output more damage than krieg with anarchy and weapons like the hive, fibber ect.
I felt no emotion for DTs death. Cause, it's a robot, just repair it with new parts.
new robot parts might not have the same memories of original DT.
also Gaige treat DT like her lovely pet dog. so if DT dies it feels like her dog just gone forever.
Wanna see history of the company from bounty of blood
Marcy got her just dessert.
I build a metel to smash concrete *hears a smash* me: daym
Wow, she really is a modern day college student
Spoiler
I play the Borderlands 3 DLC about Sir Hammerlocks wedding atm and must say I like the fact that Gaige is in it. From Vault Hunter and Merc to an Wedding Planer. What a career.^^ I dont judge her for this accident.
