Tales from the Borderlands and Musical Sequences

Besides completely lacking any willpower when it comes to not purchasing games, I'm also a sucker for great video game music.  Whether it's a kickin' soundtrack--Deus Ex:  Human Revolution, Transistor--or just fun music placed the right way or that captures the mood perfectly, there's a very good chance that I've purchased it and it now lives on my iPod (circa 2008--I have an oldie).  The Borderlands series did a great job of finding some cool songs like "Ain't no Rest for the Wicked" by Cage the Elephant or "Come With me Now" by the Kongos.  Tales from the Borderlands seems to be continuing this trend of great music and has improved it by placing it into action-packed sequences.  I had completely forgotten about this until I read about it on Kotaku!  (I've been having some anger issues about how long the delay between episodes has been and may have inadvertently forgotten about this).  Here's a musical sequence from episode 2:

Perfect!  I'm already Googling this song so I can download it on my ancient iPod.  How cool is this sequence?  Just watching it makes me feel cool--like someone who would normally listen to music like this.

I can't wait to see what they do in episode 3.  Hopefully I don't have to wait four months.  See!  Leftover rage.

On a total aside--GTA V should now be fully downloaded onto my computer and ready to rock tomorrow.  I've intentionally avoided learning anything about the storyline so I can truly enjoy it.  Mayhem awaits.  Yesssssssssss.
