Joltz, are you a fan of PotatoAnus? Does breakdowns of the WR Any% for popular games. Cannot recommend the channel enough!

[@Boomerville1945]

bruh we ain’t interested in these. we want stream gameplays.

[@ImpeccableRainn]

Let me just say man since you've been taking breaks your content has gotten better and better. Don't over work yourself and continue making content you enjoy and not content that burns you out trust me you'll love it and so will all of us can't wait until all the wonderlands content when that comes out!

[@Deeplycloseted435]

I love the mood in BL1. You feel so isolated, alone.....no talking over the echocast the whole time. No big cutscenes. Go here, kill this, then go there, and kill that. Love most of the music also.

[@shish7308]

Nailed it man.

[@JazzDB]

EXACTLY! This describes perfectly why I love Borderlands 1 so much. The mood is unparalleled..

[@zerabidotter1755]

Yea, take into its settings and the fact that it was MUCH easier than borderlands 2, and you've got yourself a great game to play for nostalgia

[@Erbmon]

​@@zerabidotter1755 Borderland games are all prety easy I don't thing thats a factor for most people.

[@galensmith9396]

@@Erbmon Borderlands 2 at least has some moments that shut people down without certain weapons. BL1 and 3 are honestly too easy. 3 literally requires highest difficulty to be hard and 1 I can’t remember well, but I do remember that 2 gave me a lot more trouble.

[@cooldude8570]

Logic for Lilith "she moves faster so she's better for speedruns" Logic for Mordi "throws an incredible amount of birds"

[@drthmik]

Lilith: Run Fast, Do more damage, Jump Far, Be invisible, Everything that needs to die dies and easily skip the rest Morty: Birb _but what about?..._ More Birb! _but this other thing?_ *MOSTEST BIRB!!!*

[@fumikagetokoyami3226]

If I had to choose between running fast or spawning an incredible amount of birds I will totally choose spawning an incredible amount of birds

[@HyperionSultan]

I mean, *B I R B* of course they’ll go with that!

[@cheeseburgah563]

I don't know why Mordecai was so upset when he loss one bloodwing. He has like a billion Bloodwings in his pocket.

[@selfsustainedautocannibalVampi]

That was his favorite, the girl one.

[@HarmonySword]

Those other bloodwings were paid actors

[@jenniferdunne9474]

i’m really loving these type of videos of you talking about borderlands out-of-game lore (e.g., the krieg speedrun and this video) that you’ve been giving us. really cool with your commentary too! :)

[@ReBoRnXGolden]

Exactly! Hopefully he keeps up the heat 🔥

[@MakeWeirdMusic]

I like what you’re doing with this content. Sets an expectation with the title and thumbnail. Loses some of the live excitement from the streams, but these are fun and you’re enjoying it!

[@Joltzdude139]

It is different, but I like it and it seems like many others do too according to the massive jump in the analytics. The day 1, day 2, day 3 playthrough video style hasn't worked as of 2021. In fact, it was slowly killing my channel. I don't want the future of the channel to be only live reactions where the same jokes are made over and over and the same drops/farms are done over and over. I want to make videos more professional. Playthroughs will return once my hands heal, but I will be taking a different approach on how I make playthrough content. I'm gonna make it 100x better

[@arksecret]

@@Joltzdude139I'm glad you made that change. Views and stuff went up with these types of videos and I'm happy for you that it worked out

@@Joltzdude139 I'm actually glad to see this comment since I was curious when we were going to get our first Playthrough 2.0.

[@bottlecapchap]

By far my favorite game in the series, glad to see this speedrun analysis on it, brings back some good memories. Great vid as always Joltz!

[@nobusinesshere]

The infinite bloodwing is something I remember fucking around with back when the game came out and something I would always tell people about whenever we talked borderlands. It's kinda surreal to me to think that was considered lost tech when it's practically the first thing i think about with BL1

[@gigidyify]

This game blew my mind back in the day, spent a whole summer dedicated to it and the community and was fun to watch tho sad alot has been forgotten

[@theomarzona7421]

Hey Joltz, just wanna say I've been really loving these 'history' videos. The way you present them is just very engaging to me and I want to tell you that hey, good job man. Looking forward to more!

[@mateysaber]

Hey Joltz!!! ❤ Im really thankful for all the videos you have been making and i have been going through things and your vidoes make me smile and forget about the bad days. You and the other content creators are awesome! ❤😊 Ly Joltz!

[@j3ster131]

I've been loveing Speedruns for as long as I first found out what it was when I was in like middle school so seeing you do stuff now some 7-8 years later is amazing, there's something cool about your favorite content creators making your favorite kinda content/gen

[@kacybuller5900]

You’ve been my favorite channel for so many years and it helps getting through a broken wrist

[@JaredTG.]

I remember running into bone head the first time I ever played the game haha. I thought he was the most OP boss ever for about a day.

[@jjbudinski8486]

Until you met Captain Flynt :) I had so much trouble with Flynt I ended up cheesing him outside his arena eventually

[@JaredTG.]

@@jjbudinski8486 Weirdly I never had too much trouble with him, I know lots of people did though. The first time playing a game in known to go very slowly and explore everything, so I think I was a bit over leveled for my entire first play. That exploring habit is the same thing that led me to run across bone head, I was exploring around fyrestone whenever i first got to leave the town. He was at least like double my level.

[@triledink]

I just remembered I also own one of those borderlands 1 discs. No internet required so its patch 1.00 on the disc, bought it the same year the game got released back in the day.

[@nathantuttle7885]

bro you and deceptix are the only youtubers I can actually sit down and watch a full 1,2 maybe even 3 hour video been watching since the Minecraft and since you were recording your TV you've grown so much and I am super proud love you bro don't ever stop what your doing or ever get discouraged.

[@M4SKED2001]

I'm enjoying these videos a lot Joltz. I hope you're having a lot of fun with them!

[@Venus-yt8dd]

Hey speaking of sledges shot gun I've heard a few ppl over the years say you could actually glitch back into the armory using sledges shotgun by i believe using it to lauch yourself but no one ever elaborated, do you know anything about that?

[@Joltzdude139]

It's a co-op only trick. You can duel a friend and he can launch you to the roof of the armory with Sledge's Shotgun.

[@avocadoarms]

I believe Joltz made a video about it a couple years ago, could be wrong

[@bloodsuckinflea]

Single player you can buy a* load of first aid kits and throw them against the wall. Rendering starts to become an issue and you can eventually penetrate the wall to gain access. I prefer just leaving the armory undone and falling in without touching the elevator to farm as long as I want, though.

[@ZombieWarfare200]

There was also a few hybrid weapons that did negative damage but had high knock back like I remember a negative damage sniper with the Dahl penetrator barrel and Hyperion invader scope and mag so that you had a blisteringly high fire rate 5 round burst and you could pair that with a double shredder shredder prefix to add an additional 4 projectiles to increase how far you got flung, I remember it being able to send you out of tbone junction safely without dying but then again yiu could just use the car glitch to survive that too

[@QuantemDeconstructor]

wobbling through the floor is probably still better if you don't mind the quest UI

[@RiderBreaker]

Imagine Mordy turns into a bad guy in BL 4. There's no way any Vault Hunter can fight a guy with billions of deadly bird. Worse if they make him Mordecai the Invincible. Gonna be the only unbeatable Raid Boss.

[@xoxogrim3973]

Like many others in the comments, I really love these videos Joltz. You’re capitalizing on a very good and entertaining idea. Also, thanks for showing BL1 some love with this video. People today don’t know about the glory of BL1.

[@M3ga1nf3rn0]

Honestly is amazing to see the history of speedruns for borderlands...it crazy to see how the runs develop over time

[@bananaman2]

That's pretty funny that the infinite bloodwing glitch helped push the speedrunning community further. I remember playing around with that glitch on the Xbox back when the game was first released. Looking at the insane footage, I never realized it had THAT much potential.

[@yokuutsu9097]

Joltz, you should try doing Borderlands weapon reviews. That'd be a cool video concept. You take a weapon like the Flakker from Bl2, and talk about the weapon and tricks you could try with it.

[@humblehubris7319]

Love this whole series, and my lord at the birds.

Hey Joltz! I knew absolutely nothing about BL speed running, and this was super interesting! The production quality on these is great, and I would love to see more of this content.

I don't enjoys these videos that much. Most people seem to, but I enjoyed the awesome playthoughs the most! It's why I subbed to this channel. Joltzs personality is what makes those playthoughs get so many views and I don't feel these videos have that. But I'll still watch and support you!

[@Brandon-zp4zp]

joltz i got to say everytime i take a break from borderlands i always watch your vid and get right back into it

[@NRV0]

Never been a fan of the series personally but I always like to watch others play. I remember I use to see my XBL friends play this. Its really crazy to think how 09 came and went like that.

[@Thebdog37]

Been loving these type of videos lately, keep it up man great content!

[@shish7308]

I'm so glad people still play the first Borderlands

[@jokroast6912]

I'd say that maybe Scorpio turret jump has potential if only there was a glitch to make the turret itself more combat capable for easy takedowns and big skips. A Co-op category with a Roland and Mordecai where they both use the Scorpio turret jump, while being a separate category, could maybe pull off some insane time saves maybe.

[@_Samm]

This new change of content is really good Joltz, please keep it up

[@thesoggyserial4938]

Overleveled bonehead was the first raid boss

[@slythehedgewolf1577]

Joltz got a challenge this run spans all games, You have t9 use your worst character in each game you choose the weirdest skill tree set up you know and your chat decides which manufacturer of each weapon that you can use like jakobs only pistols, hyperion shotguns vladof ar's etc, I feel like this would be a great challenge for you co op if you wish , also chat decides class mod and shield manufacturers aswell

[@robertromeromrpuffers1238]

you're like a borderlands history channel now haha I love it

[@plabcentral630]

Not only are we getting amazing content but you are saving your hands. Smart man

[@Zerek592]

Man, I'd wanted so badly to beat the heck out of BL1 with Inifinibird "only" ever since I started seeing your BL2 challenges for the first time. Unfortunately, by that time I no longer had a game I could play on launch version, but a friend and I still have the memory of me doing that to Bonehead: I got there first and started prepping all the birds (console, so crouching + look at ground only), and as my friend (a Brick player) walked in, I stood up and looked at Bonehead, and all my friend sees is this cloud of birds wipe out everything. I wasn't allowed to do that for the rest of the playthrough. Good times~.

[@captainacab1312]

i don't know anything about borderlands speedrunning, so there's a good chance this is well known, but i remember accidentally finding a glitch on ps3 with brick where you would start his action skill and cancel it immediately, you would keep the speed you had during the action skill. i got so used to it that it felt weird playing without it. im sure speedrunners know about this but i figured id share it anyways. one of the only glitches i've found in a game all by myself. also dope video dude

[@atacstringer8573]

As I turned the corner I see a wall of birds slight towards me all with murderous intent I instantly died of fear

[@XAlted1]

Yeah, me and my brother played BL1 for the first time in quite a few years. We forgot about a lot of things and boss fights became bullet sponge fests but once we learned, we started handling everything with gods luck that we got some good legendaries that carried us.

[@jakefromstatefarm422]

So glad to see The original borderlands continent in 2021 😁

[@sagedavis7095]

I finally figured it out. Joltz’s alien mascot reminds me of the protagonist from a game called Timez Attack.

[@somefoo6806]

Wow I remember playing this game for the first time and enjoying the hell out of it. My best friend and I pulled a all nighter playing this game for 13 hours straight from beginning to end. Man those were great times

[@thefallguy1997]

Got an interesting idea: How about a manufacturer allegiance run where anytime you die and log back on stream to play (like how chat chooses a name for the character), you'd swap manufacturer in Borderlands 2

[@kx543]

Darksmoke11 and Deceptix still dominating BL2 speedrunning even up until yesterday. Darksmoke's 52:50 UVHM run showed that a couple of minutes can still be shaved off the best time. His run (again) between Bad Maw and the end of Tundra was full of mistakes. Whilst his Frostburn and Angel to Warrior were as good as I've seen. A sub 51 is entirely possible...
