Before Borderlands was one of 2009’s breakout hits in the video game industry, its world was the setting for the Claptrap Web Series, a collection of four episodes starring the Claptrap robot. Borderlands 2 has been out for almost two months, and developer Gearbox has decided it’s the perfect time for Claptrap Web Series to make its return. The first episode of a second season will debut soon on Gearbox’s Facebook page.
Claptrap Web Series chronicles the adventures of the game’s robotic assistant as he takes the role of a pushy director on the game’s set. Though the first episode centers around a now woefully outdated Christian Bale parody, the series features the same brand of humor that was present in the game itself.
Borderlands was also the medium for a music video from The Crystal Method that was released via Machinima. That video also featured Claptrap in a prominent role; consider him (her? it?) to be the game’s breakout character.
The first season of Claptrap Web Series was a huge hit; the four episodes combined to draw in over two million viewers, which may have been one reason why the open-world shooter won critical acclaim and branded itself as the ‘Game of the Year‘ within a few months of its release. Borderlands 2 has already won similarly positive reviews, and Claptrap Web Series can’t do anything but increase the praise the series receives, so long as Claptrap keeps his dancing to himself.
