Blarg-a-rant to the spambots that "read" this stuff.
Been tearing about in Borderlands The Pre-Sequel some more. According to their website, legendary drops have been tweaked for this game and for B2, but I'm not seen any real increase in the orange glow. That said, I've only done 1 1/2 playthoughs, and all of it normal difficulty thus far, so I can't expect too much.
That said, the rate I've seen them in vending machines is absolutely epic so far. I've managed to find two Moonlight Sagas, an Oxidizer, a Whiskey Tango Foxtrot, a Nasty Surprise, an Avalanche, and a Logan's Gun (I tragically couldn't afford that last one, *sob*), making for a whopping seven legendaries on Normal (and five of those solo). That's a ridiculous amount compared to my long B2 run with at least six playthroughs, including True and Ultimate VH difficulties. All together, two Bitches, a Quasar (!!!), a Sledge's Shotgun, a Fastball, and...I think that's it actually. Five legendary pieces in regular vending machines. (NOTE, this doesn't include the Torgue machines, which have a guaranteed legendary Torgue item)
While the actual drop rate is still somewhat ambiguous right now, the vendors in PS seem to have been tweaked for the better thus far. I really hope it stays that way.
Tell you what, the vehicles in PS are crap, though. I want my damn Truck-a-pult back!

Why Torgue Should Love Lasers
It's actually very simple. A weaponized laser actually delivers thermal energy to the target, and happens so fast that things explode. While Borderlands PS laser weapons don't do that, so what? They're also used in, y'know, rock concerts.
Fun fact: did you know that the "sandwich" coins (in the US these would be dimes, quarters, and half-dollars) are actually exploded during the initial process. The copper and nickel parts are rolled into sheets, explosive gel applied to each side, and BOOM! This forces the layers together. Then the sheets are cut into round blanks, and minted into coins.
See, even making money can be badass!

Moonstruck Brain Barf
HaHA, you spambots will never be rid of me!
Been tearing about on Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. I'll talk about that later, mostly because I'm pretty frustrated with the game. Whoever did the vehicles probably did programming work for Battletoads' Level 3. Thanks a lot for making moon buggies suck.
In other vidya game news, I've also gotten my hands on Shining Force EXA, better known as "Sega Really Wanted To Make Diablo." It's actually pretty damn fun, and has a distinction of being challenging in a fun way, which I haven't run into lately.
It's actually kind of weird. Both games have a habit of randomly kicking my ass, they go about in different ways. Borderlands PS really comes across as trying to steal Dark Souls fans. I'm hoping it gets better down the line. 2 could be really damn hard at some points, too. And to be fair, this shit is still awesomesauce. LASER SHOTGUNS! YOU'RE WELCOME!
Shining Force here, when I die, I know I screwed up. I can go back and do the right thing (or grind) and I just jump aboard the train to PwnVille. Oh and you can smack things with spellbooks. I don't mean use the spellbook to burninate things (though you can do that too), I mean physically beat people with metaphysical literature.
Dammit, now I want to watch...oh...Raistlin and Snape whack the hell out of some Twilight characters now. Preferably with copies of The Simarillion. With Yakety Sax blaring in the background.
Oh, and I'm planning on writing a semi-intelligent post on a semi-serious topic. It will be entitled "Metallurgy, Mineralogy, and Monster-Mashing."
