  Jane to All: Hang in There, Another Couple of Weeks 

  Jane Wells posted earlier today about the postponement of the WordPress 3.0 release, and how the WooThemes’ navigation modification feature fits into the postponement and the revised schedule.

  Admittedly, it’s tough to compete with the excitement that we all know as Borderlands and the release of The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, but then again, getting more details about WordPress 3.0′s eventual release is nifty, too.

  And let’s not forget last year’s (year-end) management consideration post about WordPress over at Javamancy … (If Jane was in our buddy list, this would certainly be one of our famous “Hey, what’s going on about this?” moments…)

  Borderlands: The Second Siren 

  Remember in the main game, the satellite “angel” acts as a plot advancing entity. In The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, you are greeted by Athena, who appears to be a fugitive Siren from her former comrades, the Crimson Lance’s female assassin squads, using the same sort of voiceover plot advancement.

  So maybe this will fill in more background about the Soldier (default: Roland) and Siren (default: Lilith) characters? Hmm…

  Borderlands: The Monster and the Racer 

  One of the early missions in The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is to fetch the parts for Scooter to build the “Monster”, which is a new vehicle that he was designing. Once you complete the mission, it becomes the first (and only) vehicle type that you can fetch from any of Scooter’s teleporters.

  There’s an early mention during a cutscene load screen about another vehicle type, the “Racer”. It is supposed to be the fastest vehicle available but with less weaponry/armor and a shorter-duration booster.

  Borderlands: A Lot More Driving 

  There’s a lot of driving involved early in the 3rd DLC for Borderlands!

  And what’s with those floating “probes”? They look like R2 units.

  The Secret Armory of General Knoxx… Not So Secret Anymore 

  The third Borderlands DLC, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx, is now available for 800 MS points on Xbox LIVE Marketplace.

  Get ‘er done!

  And, oh, yeah: the level cap is raised to 61… Presumably because a measly +10 levels is not enough.

    From the intro to the new DLC, it looks like Athena is an ex-Lance Siren who has a grudge against the Crimson Lance and is using the Pandora invasion as her way to get revenge.

    Also, it looks like several of the red-type chests in the main game’s maps, like New Haven, have been converted to the lesser white-type chests. This means that the ammo panels aren’t available anymore.

    Wow, inadvertently ran into the first (of five, apparently) Red Lance assassin squads… And there’s apparently a new Specter class mod, for Sirens.

    Almost needless to say, once you arrive at T-Bone Junction, the first of the new locations, scout around for all of the chests and other goodies.
