Red Flavor Text

[Enfer]

I'm quite curious of the community's opinions and thoughts on the red flavor text in Borderlands 2 in general. What are some that you like? Do you think there are any that fit the description of the item in any way? Do you think they are any that have something inaccurate or wrong about the item or falsely advertises something about what the item is or does itself? Why doesn't the Legendary Mechromancer class mod not have one? What's your favorite?

(My favorite is "Flak The World," because it seems like the Flakker's own response to all the hate/dislike it gets (the poor thing is a bit bitter).)


Here's the wiki link for what red flavor text is, and also most of them in Borderlands 2. [borderlands.wikia.com]

It's actually "In. Not unlike Errol." Also, what about it?

That much is already clear. I just wanted to see your thoughts/opinions and such on the matter.

Love is a Lady Finger. True Love is a Lady Fist.
Oh, sorry, was that your head?
Slippery when wet.
The gun of the Bulls.
Sometimes lightning does strike twice.

It could be taken as a guess at how the fans would react to it, but it is also a reference to Flak and Flak Cannons "from the German Flugzeugabwehrkanone, aircraft defence cannon;[3] also cited as Flugabwehrkanone" according to Wikipedia. Basically, you are using an Anti-Air Cannon in the form of a Shotgun. Proper use of the thing is bloody scary effective, especially in the hands of Anarchy Gaige.

I personally like the red text for the Hellfire, which I think was "We don't need no water"
"Sometimes Lightning does strike twice!" is referencing an awesome gun from Borderlands gun, which acted like an Infinite Ammo Shotgun that dealt Shock damage. It was an Eridian gun with the red text of "Lightning might not strike the same place twice, but it can strike freaking everywhere!"

I bounce back & forth between 1 & 2. I have that shotgun in 1 & I always thought my game was slightly glitched in my favor. Funny to find out that's what it's supposed to do!
