Archived News:
Gearbox Software announces that ESCAPE PLAN BRAVO, episode 4 of
Tales from the
Borderlands, will be released on August 18th for Windows, OS X, and
various PlayStations. The new adventure chapter will come to the Xbox versions
of the game on August 19th, and on August 20th for various mobile devices.
Here's word on the episode: In this penultimate episode of the season,
captured by Vallory and her goons, Rhys and Fiona are forced to continue the
search for the Vault beacon - at gunpoint. The beacon is on the Hyperion moon
base - Helios - while our heroes are on Pandora... so there's the pesky cold
void of death known as 'space' to overcome. Even with assistance from a familiar
face, and with a worryingly helpful Handsome Jack hitching a ride in Rhys' head,
getting on board the ominous 'H' is going to take every drop of guile, and quite
possibly all the spunk you've got. Sacrifices will be made - can you make the
tough choices needed to succeed?

Is it really a surprise that the Jets had to cut a player for
punching out their quarterback? Seems more of surprise to me that this
hasn't happened several times over the years since Joe Willie Namath hung up his
spikes. Joking aside, that is one wild story. The good news for Jets fans is that it's not
hard to
make the case that this will make them a better team, at least in the short
run.
