Hate to be a party pooper, but did anyone else realize that Vaughn is not in any of the screen shots? even the one with everyone walking towards the camera?
Wait, since the cover in the menu features 2 Loader Bots fighting and one of htme is our Loader bot almost for sure, what if he gets upgraded with the guns he didn't get in episode 1? Like, if in EP1 he was given the Machine Gun and Rockets, in here he'll get the Shield and the Grenades and vice versa
I'll make a bet that episode will end with either the Stranger revealing himself as Timmothy.
Or, the more far fetched... Jack takes over Rhys body and we find out he's been trying to act like Rhys the whole in the present scenes. I mean it would explain why in present scenes some of his dialogue options are quite different from rhys in the past
He announced it over the ECHOnet numerous times after her death (when he rescinded the bounty on the Vault Hunters saying he wanted to kill them himself).
Me finding out about the new screenshots: The Handsome Jack cult is real. Hyperion makes eridium sacrifices to their Buttstalion idol awaiting the return of their leader. One day he will be ressurected. The day is coming.
I just discovered (ty Lilacsbloom) that on top of the image to cult of buttstalion, hides something else.
This is Rhy's robotic arm! jajajaja He must be stuck between the horns or the crown, or perhaps falling from somewhere.
Well, he's only seen fighting another loader in the title card, who is probably this douchenozzle.
God, I hate these. Plus BUL Loader… mores (except Loader Bot, of course), ION Loaders, RPG Loaders, Badass Loaders and EXP LOADERS. FUCK EXP LOADERS. FUCK. THEM.
@Handsomejack looks like we are going to find about what happen to your pet.
If they add a reference to Timothy and Angel on top of Butt Stallion, I will honestly spend the entire episode squealing (which considering the episodes release late at night in my timezone, and my apartment has paper-thin walls, my neighbours are not going to be as happy as I am)!
I had to create an account FINALLY! hello to everyone!
(the first thing is that I'm from Spain and maybe I make a few mistakes when writing… more. Sorry in advance)
soo, that's the point. I'm the only one who is worrying like hell for this capture?
Those eyebrows are from Vaughn?
i mean, at first sight appear yours :S maybe it's just a silly thought. I'm just too hyped to think clearly

I just found that a lot of this episode focused on Vaughn's insecurities (much more obviously in the "choose Jack" playthrough - but enough to be a notable theme in both), and how he doesn't feel like a badass when compared to the people around him. He feels worthless in comparison, and he had that tiny glimpse of power in episode two before realising that even in the badass wasteland of Pandora everyone still sees him as a geeky sidekick. He may have felt more powerful than when he was tabulating figures on Helios, but no matter how many awesome things he does on Pandora he still plays second fiddle to everyone else (hell, people think the two robots are more capable than him)!
I think he wants to make a power play to prove that he's smarter, stronger and tougher than all of them combined - and the only way for him to do that is to conceal his appearance (which he speaks about a lot in the Jack playthrough - noting that Rhys is every bit as nerdy as him, but gets away with it because of the way he looks/his confidence). Like everyone else on Helios, his role model is Handsome Jack - and what does Handsome Jack's story tell you? Put on a mask, act confident and you'll rule the galaxy (or die trying). Isn't that exactly what The Stranger is doing?
I also think that this very likely means that he's set himself up a nice little deal with Vallory - and perhaps that there was more to Vasquez's deal than meets the eye (what if he had something really dodgy set up with Vasquez and now that he's dead he's screwed and needs to do something drastic?)
And I kind of sympathise with him. I made sure to be super nice and promise him that I wouldn't leave him - and then literally the next scene I'm (admittedly forced) to ditch him and go make kissy faces at Sasha - that actually disappointed me a bit, I made a promise and the game forced me to rescind that promise - not cool.
Sadly, I think the height discrepancy between the two disproves it, though...

Okay, the Twitter replies helped a bit. One person said: "I hope this is a Dr Strangelove reference". So, I searched up [Dr Strangelove step… more 3] and it gave me (in the description of a website): " (3) shoot first and ask questions later.
In terms of borderlands, this makes a lot of sense.
You guys... I freakin LOVE seeing the excitement for this episode, it's so contagious that I'm desperate for it to come out too just so I can hear your thoughts!
Really He's always been the greater cult, it's just that His followers never truly realized where they belonged until this moment. It has now been revealed to all the Handsome Jack fans that He is not only deserving of love, but is truly a god worthy of worship. Hail to His Handsomeness! Hail!
*cough cough * Or at least that's how I imagine HJ fans would react. If I were one. But I hate him. What a... horrible guy. Yep.
Ugh, I do too - but after frickin' Felicity and our Loader Bot I find myself apologising every time I pull the trigger on one.
Actually, … morethe same can be said about psychos and bandits -I'VE KILLED SO MANY MEAT BUDDIES, FORGIVE ME!!!
Goddammit, TT, stop humanising the canon fodder...
Ah shit. Now we're gonna have to deal with a Gang War between the cults. Just what Rhys and co needed-to be caught up in the middle of a nasty turf war.
Perhaps, for the creepiness factor, there would be a plaque going "In loving memory..", accompanied by a portrait of Angel and...uh...her open casket.
As for Timothy, how about Wanted posters of him everywhere, or past propaganda posters featuring him that have graffiti scrawled all over them and words like "TRAITOR", "TREASON", "COWARD" and "UGLY."

The thing that would make me literally geek out is if that Helios is FILLED with 1984 references.
BL2 already has a crapton o' references to the book, and Jack's pretty similar to an (egotistic) Big Brother. But IMAGINE. THE POSTERS! THE SECURITY CAMERAS! RANDOM WORKERS GETTING MURDERED FOR NO REASON!

He is, in a form of this lovely psycho mask. (speculation)
some are speculating that that psycho's mask is Vaugh's face....

Whoever forgot to feed her is going to be thankful Jack no longer has strangling capabilities (unless he uses Rhys' puny arms)...

Fuck, I remember that Episode. Good times.
Pandoracorn - note the dual horn.

I definitely see boots more than Rhys' arm - they do kinda look Hyperion Yellow©, though - maybe part of a loader?
Dat swagger, tho...

F17
SCREEEAM THAT'S WAY TOO DARK STOP IT. WE WOULD FUCKING RIOT.
Damn, for a sec I thought this was legit.
I dunno the chin looks kinda weird, maybe it had to be shaved off in the mask-ifcation process.
Nah, there's no way it's Vaughn. There's no way...
:P That would be golden
I speculated that at the end of ep 3:

Vaughn is not going to turn into a Psycho...He's not a Psycho...He's fin-
@The_Greasy_Broccoli is going to be pissed that he and Ted have competition...
Don't we normally have a hint about the episode length by now?
:unsubtly stares at @puzzlebox:
COUGH COUGH
Also, the screencap itself can be seen as a reference to Dr Strangelove's most (in)famous scene:
We would be even more excited if someone at TT would ,,accidentally" push the release button

FUCK
the face on the psycho's mask looks a lot like Vaughn
WoW I knew It iOS Should Take 2 Days To Be Available... ;-;
It doesn't exactly look like him.
I have beaten so many Engineers, LWT Loaders, Combat Engineers forced into battle and Midgets to death that I feel kinda bad.
Then I remember that they were trying to kill me.
You can usually get it a day earlier on Android, not sure about ios.

Both of those are so awesome (and so messed up)!
I was right too.I predicted that like 4 days ago.I got right episode 2-4 the release date.
try this: http://agar.io/ or you could start watching my little pony. just an idea.
not...quite. even if it would be vaughns face, rhys wouldn't smile in such a way

Please tell me the episode isn't drastically cut down in length because of the shorter release date
He actually made a joke about accidentally releasing FNAF 4 real early. Again.
Luckily, he also had the Halloween DLC as his Plan B for once.
