His vibrant yet existential personality helps drive the narrative of the games, setting a tone that is at once comedic yet bleak.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Originally meant on being a key feature of the first game’s player tutorial and little else, Claptrap has evolved into something of a <em>Borderlands</em> mascot. Regaling the player with tales of his journey and providing helpful advice as the story progresses, it’s hard to imagine the <em>Borderlands</em> games without the presence of this annoying yet lovable character.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>With the <a href='https://www.polygon.com/2020/2/20/21145872/borderlands-movie-eli-roth-director' data-mce-href='https://www.polygon.com/2020/2/20/21145872/borderlands-movie-eli-roth-director'>announcement of a </a><a href='https://www.polygon.com/2020/2/20/21145872/borderlands-movie-eli-roth-director' data-mce-href='https://www.polygon.com/2020/2/20/21145872/borderlands-movie-eli-roth-director'><em>Borderlands</em></a><a href='https://www.polygon.com/2020/2/20/21145872/borderlands-movie-eli-roth-director' data-mce-href='https://www.polygon.com/2020/2/20/21145872/borderlands-movie-eli-roth-director'> movie</a> in production, it was clear from the start that the cast would have to be stellar if the movie were to succeed. <em>Borderlands</em> is a series absolutely driven by colorful over-the-top personalities, Claptrap being one of them.</p><h2><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h2><h2><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h2><h2>What Will the Borderlands Movie Feature?</h2><p>Not much has been released yet in regards to information about this movie. There is certainly more than enough content to draw from, as the line of <em>Borderlands</em> games has a massive storyline that spans the course of 3 main games, a prequel, and numerous DLC.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>A bit of background for those who may not be entirely familiar with this Gearbox Studios hit, the Borderlands games take place on a strange, desolate planet known as Pandora. Promising a wealth of minerals to be mined, an expedition to this planet in the year 2864 turns out to be a bust, leading to subsequent pandemonium as the companies in charge of the project strand the colonists and criminal labor force together to fend for themselves.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>In this dystopian sci-fi setting the player gets to experience a long and winding FPS / RPG adventure that involves everything from alien beasts to supernatural-power-wielding Sirens, along with a seemingly neverending horde of bandits and machines. It’s anyone’s guess as to what direction the movie will choose to go in, although judging by the current cast and various rumors, much of the source material will like come from the first two games of the series.</p><p><br></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>It is likely that the plot of the movie will not follow the games step by step, in line with most movie adaptations from the gaming world. However, Jack Black will be a welcome presence as Claptrap, who will almost certainly serve in a sidekick role, doling out oneliners and contributing to the general mayhem.</p><p>What’s worth noting is that Eli Roth, the director of the Borderlands movie, has worked with Jack Black in the past and is <a href='https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-02-11-jack-black-joins-borderlands-movie-cast-as-claptrap' data-mce-href='https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2021-02-11-jack-black-joins-borderlands-movie-cast-as-claptrap'>excited to reunite with him</a> for another potential blockbuster.</p><h2><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h2><h2><br data-mce-bogus='1'></h2><h2>Diving Into the Borderlands Series With a CLX PC</h2><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>Although the original <em>Borderlands </em>was released over 10 years ago, you are going to need a decent gaming PC if you want to experience the whole series for yourself. <em>Borderlands 3</em>, the latest installment of the series (and arguably the best), was only released in the fall of 2019, and requires a fair amount of processing power, RAM, and graphics capabilities in order to run smoothly.</p><p><br></p><p><em>Borderlands</em> combines fast-paced FPS action with RPG-like character progression that makes for some intense gameplay. There’s never been a better time to immerse yourself in the Borderlands series, but to do so, a high-performance CLX PC might be your best option.</p><p><br></p><p>Here are the recommended specs for playing Borderlands 3, to get a gist of the level of performance you are looking for:</p><p><br></p><ul><li>Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 2600 or Intel i7-4770</li><li>Memory: 16 GB</li><li>GPU: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 / AMD Radeon RX 590</li></ul><p><br></p><p>While not earth-shattering by any means, these specs are what will be needed to play the game at recommended settings. If you really want to experience these incredible games on the best graphics settings and still achieve a buttery-smooth framerate, you will want to go bigger with a <strong>CLX PC</strong> equipped with the latest and most powerful components in the world of PC gaming.</p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p>","id":"p0","sort_index":0,"type":"paragraph"},{"alt":"clx-gaming-pc","content":"clx-gaming-pc.jpg","id":"img1","sort_index":1,"type":"image"},{"content":"<p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p><br data-mce-bogus='1'></p><p>For instance, if you are looking for an impressive mid tower configuration that sports industry-leading components, our <a href='https://www.clxgaming.com/gaming-pc/gmhorus00045mk/configure' data-mce-href='https://www.clxgaming.com/gaming-pc/gmhorus00045mk/configure'>CLX Horus</a> offers everything you could ask for, including liquid cooling and a variety of other customizable options.
