It's time for a new challenge run! QOTD: What is your worst injury?

This run would actually be considered canon, seeing as Mordecai managed to win a sniping contest using a revolver.

Worst injury: My wife and I were snorkeling in Hawaii once and saw a sea turtle. We decided to watch it, and ended up floating really close to some big rocks of coral, which are extremely sharp. When we came up for a breath, some big waves crashed into both of us and slammed us up against the coral multiple times. My wife was actually sucked up underneath the coral rock and blacked out and I had to go underneath and grab her. We ended up climbing on top of the coral rocks to get away from the waves. We came out with tons of gashes and bruises, black eyes, ripped off toenail and fingernails, a concussion, and some broken ribs.

In my opinion, BL1 has the most satisfying revolvers in the entire series. They just lost some of their "oomph" in BL2.

This is gonna be the easiest run of all time

My mother used to sell Tupperware and knives when I was a little younger and I sat on one of the containers that had the blades in it and the lid collapsed, causing a knife to go through my left knee and almost remove my leg. I was 3

Mordecai was the first character i played as in borderlands, it was a co-op playthrough with my dad and bl1 will always have a special place in my memories

Two words... Testicular Torsion... When i was a kid, balls were supposed to drop, but instead, the first ball got stuck, so they had to open the sack to pull it down, however, if you had it first time, there is a chance the other ball gets stuck aswell... It did... Needless to say, it kinda hurt...

My worst injury is when I fell off the side of a mountain and tumbled about 3/4 of a mile through boulders, trees, and bushes

QOTD Answer. I work in the steel industry and had a 100+pound black of steel on a magnet hanging up in the air. The magnet disengaged while I was cleaning under it, and it fell and crushed two of my fingers, resulting in a pretty bloody mess. They look kind of funny now, but I can still feel them for the most part.

My worst injury has been 3 dislocations in my left knee leaving me with a stiff knee I couldn't bend for an entire year until I finally got approved for surgery. After finally getting surgery I was stuck on my couch with nothing to do and that's when I found Borderlands 2 and most importantly your KZfaq channel!! Yes I spent 120 hours of my life stuck on a couch farming for the 94% Sham with Zer0 because I could. I loved every second of it!

I was riding my friends bike to school. Long story short, the brakes didn't work and I hit the curb and I fell on my arms against said curb, breaking them both at the same time

The first time I did that dlc, I instinctively grenade jumped over the hospital fence and skipped hank. I legit didn't even realize I had skipped a boss.

Alright my worst injury was when I was a kid I was playing in the back of my house bare footed and I accidentally kicked a piece of rusty old metal roof and it sliced my toe open, never told my parents anything and dealth with it on my own and I low-key thought I was gonna lose my big toe or even my whole foot because of it, luckily that didn't happen but being a kid when it happened had me scared beyond belief.

Just started my first ever bl1 run on Mordecai, so I am excited to watch you play! My worst injury was when I accidently pulsed an immersion blender on my finger.

It feels GOOD to see the OG borderlands again. Makes me want to pull it out and start another run

I had been binging the past bl1 playthroughs on repeat recently. This is just what i needed 😭

Can’t wait to see a lil mashin’ Edit: 4:55 no way this is amazing

Got my finger caught between a boat and a bridge and my finger exploded

Awesome challenge run. Thank you jolts for helping keep the borderlands community alive

Yes! Borderlands 1!!! The Revolver QOTD a couple days ago makes sense now

My worst injury is one people can't see, my depression. It prevents me from doing the bare minimum like going outside without getting stomach pains and cold sweats and having a job because of fear of failure. I just can't be happy :/ Love the videos Joltz!

This game is the best, I'm happy someone is playing this in 2024! I miss the Crawmerax & Knox base runs, makes me want to DL it again just to do runssss. Oh the good ol' days

Damn. This is gonna be an enjoyable series. QOTD: My worst injury would have to be the ripping, tearing and dislocation of my middle finger. It required Stiches, a Metal Rod through to keep it straight and 8 weeks of not being able to move a majority of my right hand.

My worst injury is bad stomache ache from eating some chili with bad cheese, definitly worse pain than fracturing my collor bone

YEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! Favorite Borderlands, favorite characters AND favorite gun type! This is gonna be hype! No other Borderlands game has captured just how CRUNCHY the revolvers feel!

I recently dislocated my shoulder, and because of the way I dislocated it, I was forced to leave work for over 6 months. (your videos have helped a lot and gotten me back into borderlands during the healing process so thank you!)

i see a lot of challenge runs that im like no way i can do this but this challenge is one that i love to see how far he gets and how far i can do it too. thank you joltz for the amazing content

Joltz, the day I decided to revisit my absolute favorite game BL1, you start the video series with my favorite character in game! Love your content ❤

My worst injury was in a car crash when I was 15. Was taking a nap with my foot on the dash.. Woke up and lo and behold the driver had also taken a nap, and we drove straight into a One Way sign. It slammed through the windshield and nearly cut off my foot from the ankle. I was helicopter lifted to the best hospital within 100 miles and had surgery that night. Thankfully I have my foot and full functionality due to a great doctor. Pretty wild experience.

My WORST injury was back in elementary school on the playground, we had a wire fence that separated the basketball court from the grass field, the fence had sharp metal that was curved to resemble a heart shape well… I was playing with some class mates and I wrapped my hand around THAT part and from the base of my pinky to the tip the fence FILET my pinky and bone was exposed. It was great explaining that to the doctors while in shock, they gave me 20 stitches and pain killers.

Joltz for a QOTD you should do like "What's your favorite Borderlands games art style and why" type of question. I always forget how awesome BL1 looks even though it is so old.

I buckled fracture my forearm when I was 15 worst pain I ever felt especially seeing my bone break so clean it was scary and disgusting huge fan keep up the great work

My worst injury isn't as extreme as some of the other ones around here, but once, back when my brothers were in scouts, I tagged along for a hike they were going on, and at one point was standing near our (sadly gone) very hyper/eager dog. He noticed something, and sprinted *full speed* behind me, and dragged his leash across the back of my knees, rug burning the *crap* out of them. I then had to walk the entire hike with the *pits of my knees* rug burned. I still remember the hike so vividly because of the pain I was in forcing me to focus on everything I could to distract myself lmao.

After i dont even know exactly how long of not playing i finally decided to get this, bl2, and tps again on switch and have realized that i forgot just how much i love this game more than the sequels

When I was a teenager I was a big bushcraft nerd, and for my confirmation, I was given a really nice axe! On my second tree the axe slipped and went right into my leg and cut 4 inches wide and down to the tibia. Bled like hell, but luckily I wasn't alone in the woods, otherwise I might have died from blood loss

My worst injury just happened last week, I got sucked into a lathe and broke my arm,wrist and fingers. Your videos help with my long recovery time

Fractured my skull. When I was a kid, I slipped when walking down the polished wooden stairs we had at the time while in my socks. It was at night time so it could have been pretty bad if it wasn't for my parent's bedroom being at the bottom and me waking them up by hitting my head into the door.

When i learned the Doc-Mercy Skip existed, Krieg was out and was the only character i played, I learned 8years later that it was indeed not my fault i could not do the jump, that lead to some heavy annoyance back then.

Super excited to see my favorite character played again! QOTD: a few years ago i was in a four wheeler accident i suffered a concussion, brain hemorrhage, and a hairline fracture in my arm, lost a major amount of motor control of my left arm but after about a year of physical therapy i was able to recover to about 95 % motor function and no other major issues!

Worse injury you say? Well the one I can think of off the top of my head is when I was in third grade I had a metal toy airplane, I was running around playing with it when another kid ran into me. I fell face first onto that little toy plane, and it went straight into my eye. It misses my eyeball barely but SHREDDED the daylights out of the surrounding tissue, and I had to have the injury glued shut.

YAY lets go baby! This is gonna be a fun one! Might take awhile though with the world drop only legendary weapons. BL1, despite it's jank, is still my favorite of the games

Just got out of a really long shift and theres nothing better than a joltz video to relax to ❤

Been waiting for a Borderlands 1 playthrough. Even though Borderlands 1 is the oldest borderlands I feel like I've seen more people playing bl2 or bl3 and just forget about it even though it's one of my favorite games

Back a few years ago my Mum had a rather large, heavy, ornate porcelain plate hung above a door frame for decoration. Fast forward to me doing some renovations and carrying a step ladder through the house, vertically, thus causing this plate to get knocked off the wall and onto my head. Wound up with my skull cracked, my head glued back together, and a few days in A&E lol

my worst injury: i went to bootcamp for marines & broke my femur in half due to a hairline fracture i had for 5 days. got surgery 2 hours afterwards & now a rod in my entire upper leg. was in a wheelchair for 3 months, on crutches for 3 weeks or so. it’s been years since then & i’m happy to report that my femur has fully recovered

Chipped the bone that your patella tracks in. Fully opened me up and put two screws to put it back in. I also had a high chance to dislocate my knee afterwards so they cut my quad muscle and wrapped it around my knee to make it stable. 4 years later and one quad is still smaller

Worst Injury... Probably when some bullies doxxed my location irl after peeking at my assignment where we were making resumes for a life readiness course in high school. The older siblings of those bullies ended up pushing me down a hill that was very rocky and jagged, resulting in me breaking my leg, a rib and my left arm. Yet I somehow dragged myself up enough to watch my dad beat them senseless to protect me, and this story has a happy ending as we took them to court and won as well as me making a full recovery with those bullies getting expelled from my school. Bit of a wall but there ya go!

Hey Joltz! Been a longtime viewer and actually got my hands on BL1 playing through for the first time I am very excited!

I broke my nose while running sprints for wrestling. We had to sprint across the mats, lean down, and touch the edge of the mat, and then sprint back to the other side of the mat. We had 80 boys running all at once, packed in a room that did not fit all 80 of us. Being just that touch faster than the two guys next to me, I leaned down to touch the mat, and right as I did, the guy on my left had the top of his head slam right into my nose. Best part is, he made my nose more straight with the break XD

One time in school I was taken by the hands spun and thrown onto the ground. Of course there's always a catch, and this is no exception. Right where my head would land there was already something. A wedge shaped rock. Oddly enough the part that actually hurt was the weeks after in which I had to deal with the glue used to seal my noggin stuck in my hair.

It's hard to believe this game came out about 15 years ago. I remember playing through Borderlands when I was 11.

There's a couple injuries that are kinda on the same level, but I think the one that was the worst was when I was younger, I was sliding down our stairs in a sleeping bag for whatever reason. Until the last time when my feet hit the floor at the bottom and flipped me up, slamming my head into the edge of the radiator on the wall. My parents describe it as "It looked like someone broke in and tried to split you in half with an axe."

I remember the first time I fired "Patton" and it felt POWERFUL. Wasn't used to "feeling" weapons in games until then.

In terms of worst injury... It's a tossup between the time I ran into the corner of a table running from a decidedly dead bee and my forehead started bleeding, (real dramatic like, too, fell to my knees and had the blood drip onto my arm before realizing it was my forehead) or it's the time I cut open my finger trying to chop up a bell pepper. Still have the J shaped scar it left on my finger.

Got an underground wasp sting the upper corner of my eye socket in middle school and now I'm traumatized to anything that buzzes and passes by my ear. Had to also get a wasp out of my apartment today so that was nice.

I loved the squiky chair montage , real ytpoop vibe

Worst injury, of all time, was getting my left leg *accidentally* amputated. Happened back in ‘09 of the 20th Century, cause was a John Deere lawn mower. Fully conscious for it all, foot and ankle comes clean off, calf ripped to shreds. Aftermath was being airlifted to hospital and surgery done. Rest is history. Was 5 at the time, 5 1/2 to be more specific.

When I was around 8 years old, we were at a park that had wooden swings. I was standing on the swing and jumped off but didn't jump far enough away, so the swing ended up hitting me in the head and gave me a 6 inch gash on my scalp that needed 8 staples to close.

I always loved going down to the beach in zombie dlc and just power leveling my weapon proficiency and challenges. Good times. My worst injury was getting a pencil in my eye when I was 5 years old. Somehow I managed to get the best vision in my family.

My worst injury was when I fell into a fountain that had rocks at the bottom, except there was no water. One of the rocks gashed a really big hole on my head that needed me to get stitches for weeks. Even today, 20 years later, and I still have an indent and scar there, though thankfully high enough that it's covered by hair.

When I was a kid, I fell off the monkeybars and landed on the top step. Had a bruise a little bigger than a baseball on my chest and couldn't raise my arms for X-rays.

I remember my brother telling me about the Doc Mercy geyser skip. We had no idea why my brother could do it but I couldn't. We later learned that Krieg is just that much thicker than everyone else.

My worst injury was a big scrape on my left knee when I was 7, which didn't heal completely until months after, because the wound kept reopening after other trips and falls. I swear I had a personal beef with gravity when I was younger. You would still be able to see the mark where it was now.

Broke my hip and ACL in a motorcycle crash, and hit my head hard enough my day got reset xD, was a super fun conversation asking the docs what were they doing in my room and where was my cat lol

The amount of times I quote joltz during my daily life is getting out of hand at this point 😂😂😂

Revolver only Mordecai will forever be my favorite way to play borderlands this BL1 masher are just too good

My worst injury was when i was 10. There was this thorn bush with a hole at the bottom you could crawl through, and when i was crawling through i friend grabbed my leg to scare me, and i freaked out. The thorns ended up ripping most of the skin on the back of my neck off, and i had a stay in the hospital for a few weeks. Thankfully, the cuts weren't deep, but it was traumatising for younger me.

Back in 2004, I was skating home from a friend's house and tripped on a rock. I fell with both of my arms in from of me, right arm farther out, so when all my body weight hit, my left arm snapped in half and both bones were push out and over where they broke off (though, luckily didn't break skin)

Just started a bl1 run like a week ago, good timing 💪

When I was around 7 I was coming home from my birthday party and tripped on a step, landing on a party bag I was carrying. A lollipop stick pierced through the back and my forehead all the way to my skull. That was a fun way to spend my birthday lol

QOTD: Though I dont actually remember it happening, when I was around 5 or 7 I was attempting to climb over a fence that I had accidentally locked myself into, and since it was a fairly worn down fence with those spike - like things on the top that were begining to split open, I caught my leg on one on the way down and I carved my left leg straight open and left a mighty scar, pretty gnarly

This is my type of play through. Did this one and it is so much fun! Injury, broke foot while working at Abercrombie. I’ll let you use your imagination as to how😂

I had facial reconstructive surgery, two years ago, and my jaw was wired shut and for about a month or two I had a liquid diet through a straw. I also still have numbness in my face and a numb spot on my thigh, where they took a bone graph off of my hip, but now I can smile confidently

yay i caught a Joltz vid within seconds of it getting posted!

I work as a variety performer and while practicing fire lasso the flaming rope wrapped around my legs and gave me 2nd and 3rd degree burns up to about my knees.

Was jumping on rocks at the bus loop in middle school, misjudged one jump and gashed the front of my leg open so bad I thought I was seeing bone. The scar still hasn't healed almost 20 years later.

Torn medial meniscus during the Army. Blew my knee out during a 10km ruck march and proceeded to ignore it for two years. Now, post-surgery, my knee dislocates if I squat on my left leg

I was playing hide and seek with some neighbors. Another kid and i cut through the small horse pen, but it was in the shade so i didnt see the wire. I ran right into it fling me backwards onto a car bumper that was left in the pen. I required 16 stitches to the back of my head.

Got into a car accident 7 months ago at work and still out on workers comp. Can’t stand or sit for longer than half an hour at a time, love the videos ❤

Worst injury for me was when I broke my arm the second time. Got pushed while standing on a piano bench, landed on my arm, and had to not only get it put in a cast, but pins put in as well. Not a fun summer at all, and you can still see the scarring from the pins near my wrist.

2 motorcycle accident. Broke the metacarpals on my left hand, both wrist/forearms, fracture my right side of my hip (3 screws), hairline fracture on the left side of hip, dislocated my right knee and tore 2 ligaments, slightly tore my left knee ligament, fractured my left ankle, dislocated my right foot. 750k in medical bills (insurance covered 99% including the helicopter ride since one was 20m south of hoover dam). 4ish plates, and a couple of screws as souvenirs

Joltz I been watching you for a min now and I jus wanna say I love your vids man keep it up

Idk my worst injury, but my most recent injury is from bombing down a hill with my girlfriend on my skateboard. We were going at least 35 mph and hit a bump so I wrapped her in my arms and caught all the damage for the both of us. I tore open both my knees, my left shoulder, my hands, my hip, and my thigh. Even though I was badly injured it's a treasured memory now and she trusts me to protect her from any harm.

My worst injury was a motorcycle accident. I broke my pelvis in four places, shattered two vertebrae, full compound fracture in my right arm. And stress fractures literally everywhere because I got launched off my bike at 70 mph and no joke from when I got launched off my bike to where I ended up was 150 ft. I was in a wheelchair for 4 months and I couldn't extend any of my extremities because of how gnarly the impact was. But I'm all good now somehow

I once dropped a 45 lb plate on my big toe at the gym one night. It was the worst pain I've ever felt and then a couple of days later my toenail decided it was time to fall off and I did it without any assistance from a doctor. It's actually almost fully healed now it happened in November of last year😊

The worst injury I've ever had in my life is when I was six, I used to sleep on the top of my bunk bed... But without the rails... One night, I rolled off of my bed while sleeping, landed and snapped my left arm so violently, I let out a blood gurgling scream due to how much it hurts. When my parents ran into my room and turn on the light to see what happened, I can see that my arm is mangled and arched... My mom almost fainted and I immediately screamed even more, not even in pain, but in pure terror.

That one time when I accidentally locked myself in an apartment on the vacation but really wanted to go out so I jumped off the balcony (it was the second floor), broke my wrist with risk of amputation, damaged my leg and spine. Everything's fine, have no regrets, was totally happy

QOTD: Once I nearly shattered my left wrist after falling off a 2 meter tall rock. My wrist was held together using ligaments and tendons yet was still able to function. Oh and it dislocated too in that same wrist.

Super stoke for some Chimera gameplay. It’s my favorite gun in the Borderlands series and is a concept I’m surprised hasn’t been revisited

I like how the reload at 10:50 was in sync with the music.

My worst injury was quite a recent one happened only a month ago, I broke my foot in 2 places while in a mosh pit which lead to me having to have 2 screws and a metal plate put in, all I need now is blindness to cosplay as Tk baha lol

My worst injury: I worked in a warehouse and I was cutting the angles of the box (to make it smaller) with a utility knife. The blade got stuck and I started to use force to get it off and then I cut myself on the palm of my hand (I was holding it with my thumb and first finger) because the blade was way too much out. Wound required 9 stitches to patch up. Doctor told me after a exam that I was kinda lucky because it didn't damage any nerves.

Worst illness for me is that when I was a few months old, maybe a year, I walked outside to see my dad and faceplanted his very hot motorbikes exhaust pipe. My face and hands started peeling off. Now I have a slightly more reflective skin on my face and palms. No major damage though

Giving some homegrown vegetables to my neighbor and slipping on the porch, causing me to fall and hit my shin slicing my skin to the bone. Did not need surgery, just needed 3 butterfly closures and a big bandage…took nearly 10 hours to fully stop bleeding

Idk what it is, but there’s just a certain charm about BL1 that the other borderlands games haven’t been able to replicate. Same thing also applies to Halo CE compared to the other Halos.

I actually have a really dumb worst injury. When I was in like 3rd grade, I went to this afterschool program with a bunch of other kids my age. One day, someone brought out a slip-n-slide that we were taking turns using. When it was my turn, another kid decided that he wanted to slide the wrong way, towards ME. We ended up crashing into each other, which resulted in me getting a bump on my forehead that hasn’t gone away 20 years later, and somehow, a broken pinky finger. The people running the program thought it wasn’t broken, so they started pulling on it to try and somehow fix it. As far as worst injuries go, it’s pretty tame, but the scenario was just so dumb and (annoyingly) avoidable.

Dude I had the game when it was year one and I figured that jump out first time I got to that map. It is a classic now.

I remember back in elementary school we went on yearly bowling trips and the first year we went… I got a warning sticker put on because of me! I got my hand stuck in a ball return and broke a finger and a knuckle. In first grade btw, still have the scar!

Man I love pistol only runs in the borderlands series. So many great options available.
