Most of the bits with Handsome Jack, he's become one of my favourite villains of all time. From taunting you from start to finish, to finding out ALL of the shit he has caused to others, I mean holy hell...

Also:
The part leading up to fighting Jack and the Warrior, teaming up with Brick and Mordecai to cut a through all the Hyperion soldiers and bots to get there, it was just awesome.
That part would've been more amusing if it wasn't for
Brick being so damn annoying with his "HEY SLAB" bullshit.
. :(
I'll forgive him for that because he has a giant fuck off hammer.

Everyone is forgetting the best and bravest character in the entire game. He had to balls to stand up to the toughest meanest ************ in all of pandora, and no weapons too. He didn't need weapons, he just needed his bare hands.


Sarcastic Slab, i salute you.

I also have a Torgue Minigun AR called Rhythmic Spitter that the Bee makes into a scary, scary exploding bullet hose.
You think THAT is fast? Just wait till you get the Shredifier AR. It just melts everything in a rain of lead.

Or rather, you spend ten hours farming Bonehead 2.0 in order to get the damned thing... lowest drop rate indeed...
The shredifier isnt actually Bonehead 2.0 drop. Its just a random drop. BH2 drops the Bone Shredder [http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Bone_Shredder_(Borderlands_2)].

Anyways, my moment was when the game arrived in my mailbox. Didnt even need to play it, already knew I was gonna joy puke my face off...

Though getting my hands on a Skullsmasher from Son of Mothrakk was also pretty awesome.

Saturn was one of the easiest bosses, if you ask me. o_O Sure, he has a fuckton of HP, but I managed to take him out several times without even getting half health.

Speaking of which, did anyone else think Handsome Jack and the Warrior were ridiculously easy?
Thats pair the course.

Oh yeah, the best bit with Brick; where you get the optional objective to not look and just walk away when you blow up the Buzzard so you'll "look like a bad-ass".

Acquiring the bee + conference call combo and seeing Terramorphorous the Invincible melt away in seconds. Made all the more satisfying by the fact that I hadn't found a legendary since lvl 33 and was using seriously underpowered gear the first few times I fought him. Overnight he went from one of the toughest boss fights I've had in gaming, to having the durability of paper mache.
Game breaking? Maybe.
Awesome moment? Fuck yeah!

I believe my game glitch one time but it was a awesome on at that. A friend and I were playing through Vault Hunter mode and we just got to the bunker fight. It was at 98% health and I threw my Tediore SMG (It deals acid dmg) and BOOM he died right there. It was pretty funny we just called it Ork Logic.

I haven't had any, to be honest. A couple of my friends and I are playing through it when we have the time, but I haven't really had any moments like the OP described. I mean, I'm having fun, but I'm just sort of underwhelmed. I had a similar feeling with the first game: there's a lot there, and running and gunning is fun (up to a point), but it's just not clicking for me at anything more than a really basic level. It's a decent enough game, but it won't be on my GOTY list, let's put it that way.

Wubwub might be part of the problem. I nurse a deep hatred of wub, and whenever I'm in the middle of a fight and things start wubbing, I get annoyed. Or whenever I walk by Claptrap in Sanctuary, and he's like 'Check out my new Dubstep song!' I just want to punch him right in the eye.

I will say, though, that Rakkman (is that what they named him? It's what we call him) made me laugh really hard. So, yeah, I guess that would be my memorable moment for now.

Although my 'awesome' might be someone elses 'Oh God please kill me now'.

I know that feel. But at least he's not whining that "there are new bounties available at the X bounty board!" every FUCKING time you'd zone, and he wasn't the only one. That really annoyed me about the previous installment, together with the ridiculous enemy respawn rate, repetitive foes and environments and NPCs being nothing but boring, soulless quest dispensers, all of which has been improved significantly in B2.

Yes, it's basically still the ol' shoot and loot, kill stuff to acquire stuff that helps you kill even more stuff, and opening lockers one by one like some passive aggressive panty sniffer, and yes you will spend a lot of time checking if certain loot you found doesn't make things x percentage more dead, but it also evolved past shooting bandits in dull environments for 12 hours. And it still doesn't take itself very seriously, or anything for that matter.

Whether or not this is enough for B2 to call itself a true sequel, rather than a very very big and well written add-on, is purely subjective. I do, however, know it was enough for me to buy the game

I'd say B2 is the game B1 should've been from the start.

While I don't think I've had any super serious ZOMG moments (because hell, the game is just made of that), leveling up phaselock to the point where you can wipe out a camp of bandits without even firing a shot was pretty awesome.

Oh, and also
tipping Moxxi enough money so that she gives you her favourite gun, which makes the control pad vibrate... uh, yeah. Sweet.

I also love most of the incidental dialogue from enemies, especially when they die. I've probably poured about 100 hours into this game, and I still sometimes hear the occasional new line.

When Gaige got enough Anarchy stacks to one-shot everything. That was fun.
That would be awesome if I could actually get my anarchy stacks from disappearing for no reason.

When I found a Jakobs sniper rifle that does 35000 damage with explosive element. Combine with The Bee to one shot everything except theinvincibles.

Mine is similar to the OP's but instead of being solo I was in a full group. Since there were four of us there were more and tougher enemies and one of us apparantly knew that there was a time limit so we pushed forward hard, obliterating everything in an orgy of bullets and shattered robot parts. We felt like the badasses the game claims you are.
I also have a solo Bloodshot moment. It was the first time I siced Deathtrap on a base full of baddies with the ability to extend his duration with each kill. I basically just followed him around in awe while he cleared the place from the front door to the cutscene. I think the only person I fired a shot at was Mad Mike. Jerk! Shoved the rocket launcher up his ass.

I loved the fight up to the Control Core up to and including BNK3R and every part of the fight inside the core. It felt like all the things that make Borderlands fun came together there. Relentless fights, tense cover situations, a wicked boss, and just a ton of loot.

Also, that deep throaty wub'n battle track makes me grin when it kicks in. Always gets me in one of those proper kill-everything-that-moves kind of moods and generally I just start tearing things to pieces. Not as big of a fan of the one in the new DLC, though. It simply lacks that magical aspect.

I liked the Saturn fight a lot, as it just comes out of nowhere. You see it beam down and think "double-yew tee fuck is that?". That whole area has the whole nostalgia thing going for it. It wasn't till I found TK's house that I realised it was Fyrestone. The bit where you fight Saturn is of course where you end up for the last fight in the Claptrap DLC.
Funniest thing happened to me there: My brother and I were comparing loot with the chest on the roof of the building and we didn't see him spawn or attack us. We started losing health and turned to be greeted by... A huge loader. Death was had.

OT: Finding the Conference Call...and abusing it. So fun.
