There are still some loose ends that need to be wrapped up from a gameplay perspective, though. Dude seriously still can't quite let go, which I surprisingly understand. If there's one thing that Tales from the Borderlands has done a good job with for the most part, it's establishing relationships between the various characters, whether it be the dynamics of the uneasy alliance between Rhys and Fiona or even the relationship issues between Sasha and jilted lover August. As a sentimental sap, I can certainly relate to the impact of seeing once treasured mementos, so seeing the sisters deal with or even try to escape the new reality of their familial issues was a nice touch. Players get a dose of poignancy, for example, as Fiona and Sasha return to their old stomping grounds at Hollow Point while trying to deal with the shocking betrayal of the previous episode.

Not that everything is all fun and games, however, as the game lays down some serious moments, too.

Chill, guys, I've got it all under control. Granted, I've got the sense of humor of a 12-year-old doofus sometimes, which meant Atlas Mugged had me laughing out loud in my living room several times while concerned relatives walked in to check out if I was OK. From the sharp, snarky dialogue and goofy situations our anti-heroes keep finding themselves in to the amusing fourth wall-breaking stuff, Atlas Mugged is easily one of the funniest games I've ever had the pleasure of playing. The addition of the disembodied hologram of one of Borderlands' iconic characters adds even more wackiness to Tales from the Borderlands, which continues to serve up generous heapings of hilarity for its second episode. Universe starts off on separate paths yet again, with poor Rhys also gaining an extra tenant in his already messed-up head. With the hectic Death Race of ' Episode 1: Zero Sum' now officially history, our ragtag group of shysters, thieves and one Mr. Telltale's, um, tale of frenemies gallivanting around Pandora continues yet again with 'Tales from the Borderlands Episode 2: Atlas Mugged.' This I gotta see.
