While the choice of the color purple derives from her artistic color code, it also denotes an affectionately strong feeling which plays out all through the album.

Borderlands Is a Video Game Movie Made for Absolutely No One

On the surface, a Borderlands movie makes perfect sense. When video game mega-publisher 2K released the first entry in 2009, it quickly accrued a fanbase—one that only grew over the next 10 years, during which developers Gearbox Software and 2K Australia pumped out a total of four entries in the franchise.
