Yep, for the first time I'm not only uploading a video on Christmas that actually acknowledges that it's Christmas, but I went and made sure it was a completely Christmas-themed video! Nothing captures the Christmas spirit like ihearing "Fuck Santa" within the first 3 minutes.

When I said that this DLC was meant to be done later, I didn't mean that I went ahead and uploaded it early. I mean that I actually did this DLC earlier than I was meant to for the story. It's weird that they let you do that... But that's why I deviated from my usual 1-2 videos per day and hauled ass with 3-4 videos per day instead. It was so I could get through all of my recorded clips and get to this one in time for Christmas.

If you were confused by the "Uniting humanity with velociraptors" line, don't worry. You will get context for that.

And just like how I mentioned that the first DLC required me to use a power that I didn't have at the time (Telekinesis), this DLC also required me to use one that I hadn't gotten yet (and still don't have as far as this playlist goes). But because I made myself look like an idiot in the first DLC, I kinda figured I had to use a super power on the pole (though at first I thought she'd have to pole dance).

Didn't stop me from looking like an idiot while battling Claws, though, or when I accidentally killed Santa with the Abduct-O-Meter in the park...

Anyway, we see all of the Saints aboard their ship as if they'd all been rescued from Zinyak already, when along comes another Terminator reference in the form of yet ANOTHER version of Shaundi. I feel like it's a wink to how our normal Shaundi is a lot more uptight and "bitchy" than she used to be in the older games (which was being a very loose and mellow hippie), with this Future Shaundi being another progression in that direction by going full steel cyborg. Basically Future Shaundi is to current Shaundi what current Shaundi is to past Shaundi, if that makes sense.

In any case, it makes sense that they'd portray The Boss as the Grinch/Scrooge of this whole thing, until she comes to fully embrace Christmas and Santa after her heart warms and grows a few sized.

Wasn't a fan of the sweater, though. I apologize that my normally topless character was not only forced to cover up, but with something that... hideous. Luckily it was only for the first part, and she then makes up for it by taking things a step farther than in any past video by going barefoot AND TOPLESS in not only the snow, but the arctic snow of the fucking NORTH POLE!

THAT is a true "Welcome to the Salty Spitoon. How tough are ye'?" moment.

And I mean, who can blame her? Would YOU wanna fight someone who had pretty busty swinging boobs with nipples that were like small daggers from the cold? That in itself is dangerous enough, without adding in the super powers.

I'm also assuming most people have seen A Christmas Story (hard to find someone who HASN'T), so they'll appreciate the reference with the Crimson Cowboy rifle I got near the beginning of the DLC. They really weren't kidding. The Boss actually shot her eye...

In fact, I didn't notice until I was putting this together in editing that the shots were actually ricocheting off of things to hit multiple enemies. You'd think I'd have noticed that. But speaking of editing, this DLC is actually done in 3 parts. When you finish each part, you're given a rewards screen and taken back to the ship, and you have to go back to the marker to enter the next part of the DLC.

Well I edited those parts out to make it all look like one whole event with nothing to break the flow, which also means I cut out the first two reward screens. You actually get a TON of shit for doing this DLC - new weapons, outfits, vehicles, homies, weapon skins, and more.

I'm also impressed that people were able to stay in the Christmas spirit with The Boss running around massacring them while trying to spread holiday cheer around to them. But it's what she does best.

And besides, we got the perfect Christmas ending - Santa stranded and naked on Zinyak's mothership out in the depths of space. What more could we ask for?

This will be especially a nice gift to the butthurt dislike botter I've acquired as of yesterday morning.
