I can't lieโ It's a crushing disappointment. I'd thought about possibly being in the movie for years. I love Borderlands. I love Claptrap. It's absolute joy to be his voice for the games. Congratulations, @jackblack, I know you must love him too. Please take good care of him.

Met in 1988 as proxy for a friend who was afraid to ask her out. (That didn't last.) Exchanged phone numbers at punk/new wave 'teen night club' in '89. Dated through high school. Moved in together for college in '91. (Scandal!) Engaged in '92. Married in '97. She is the best. ๐ฅฐ
Met in 2012 in a study hall lounge at our college. I asked him out, we dated for 3 years, engaged in 2015. I moved to Hawaii for work, long distance until he finished school. Married in 2018. And the rest is history. Heโs my best friend and my everything.
