Hey Patrons,
We're back with another film review here on the /noclip Patron Feed. This time we travel to July 2001, a prosperous time in the new millennium where fully CG movies are but a twinkle in the eye of some film making radicals.

Hey folks!
Don't worry I won't make a habit of up-selling all of you handsome and honorable Patrons but just in case you missed it in this month's Patron Show we've got some promo codes for noclip_2 - exclusively for /noclip Patrons -running for the rest of the month.
We just passed 500 Patrons which is fantastic news. It's about half of our goal to keep noclip_2 sustainable with the current output we're working on.

Welcome to a brand new style of patron-exclusive video for supporter tier on /noclip.
Too often we do documentaries on games and don't prep our audience on the game we're about to talk about. Especially those who haven't play the game, and don't plan to.

As you know we are enjoyers of fine cinema here at Noclip. So apologies for us taking to long to get around to talking about Eli Roth's video game masterpiece; Borderlands.
In this episode myself and Jeremy discuss the bizarre blocking and questionable casting of this box office bonanza. Spoilers are everywhere, though if you haven't decided to waste your own time watching this, you probably weren't planning to.
