Just when you thought you’d be able to keep your fictitious game characters separate from your, ahem, characters, there’s a bit of bleedthrough, as reported at Destructoid, about General Knoxx and his newly discovered Twitter account.
It looks like he’ll be taking a bit of a tweeting breather for an unspecified bit. It’s likely that the activity will resume as the launch date for “his” content approaches.
N.B.
Yes, yes, we know: it’s a good way to drum up interest in the third Borderlands DLC, which still hasn’t materialized yet.
Still, getting a Twitter account for one of your game’s NPCs… Is this just a fad, or a new trend? And who is “alphonso”, again?

And what is Gearbox Software’s fascination with two X’s in names, anyway?
