Back before Borderlands hit PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in October 2009, developer Gearbox kicked off a short-lived webisode series starring the shooter-RPG's foul-mouthed robotic companion Claptrap. Well, guess what? Episode 3 is here!

This time around, we see Claptrap's tongue-in-cheek response to the AIAS's 13th Annual Interactive Achievement Awards, which saw Borderlands nominated twice--under "Role-Playing/Massively Multiplayer Game of the Year" and "Outstanding Achievement in Online Game Play"--but not in "Outstanding Character Performance."

  He is nothing like HK-47, but I couldn't say whether or not he is like PAL-18

  I just wish the character that we are watching in the video was in the game.

    The acting and style of delivery the Claptrap in the video beats out the Claptrap in the game.

  I've been playing BL for ~10 days on PC and really like the clapper. Strangely, I recall not HK-47 but Emkay from X-Wing Alliance. Also, the typewriter from 'The Electric Company' (TV).
