Yep. Most of the intro lines were ad-libbed. (Imagine writing for a living and managing to shit out such a self-indulgent blogpost where the "jokes" read so heavily as seething, holy shit)
Jim's the new guy, David Eddings is the old voice actor. He wasn't just treated like shit, Pitchford straight up refused to pay him. He said he voiced Claptrap in 1 and 2 completely for free, and when he asked to get paid and receive past royalties before he'd voice him in 3, they fired him. Pitchford also allegedly assaulted him.
I looked into it because I was curious. Aside from DMing for a D&D postcast called "Dungeons and Daddies" and making some guest appearances on random shows and podcasts, he got a writing credit on New Tales. Also wrote a 300+ page book about what happened after TftB but before 3, the quality of which is apparently middling, at least according to the very few people who cared enough to read through it. It just came out in June of this year. Gearbox (or more specifically Pitchford) must really be struggling to cope with the shit reputation of the franchise if they're trying this hard to exhume the corpse of a 10 year old game they didn't even write.
Also he wrote a gay porno, lmao (link is an archive of his tweet, I've cropped it a little in the embed to be sfw)

Imagine how desperate you have to be to be in a gay porno written by Anthony Burch.

That explains why Handsome Jack is the only tolerable part of the second game.

Yeah, when I play BL2 I notice marked differences in the quality of Jack's dialogue in different parts of the game. I think I specifically recall the Bloodwing rescue mission and Opportunity. It sounds like his dialogue there is written by a different person, the character starts acting cartoonishly evil like some Rick & Morty gag character to the point of cringe instead of being funny. I guess those are two of the parts the VA didn't get to adlib lol.

Fucking Uwe Boll is taking potshots at Borderflop. This is the level of disaster we're on right now.

I'm having doubts about whether Handsomefags even played the second half of the game (not like I'd blame them) where he just starts being tryhard evil and the game treats you like a retard by having another NPC tell you not to believe the le wacky reddit CEO man who's been describing how he shouted YOU'RE THE MAN NOW DOG after murdering an orphan or whatever it was.
What did he adlib again? The old meme references?

The particular adlibbed line Randy was whining about was apparently a crowd favorite from Jack: "these pretzels suck."
That's it. That's what Randy is most incensed about, because it's a fan favorite and he didn't write it. Admittedly the way the actor delivered the line was pretty damned good, but it's obviously a throwaway joke (and they didn't have to keep it in, either).
He's just such a petty piece of shit for being angry about that.

We've had non stop shitty movies and ugly women since he was removed. I say bring him back and feed him all the whores he wants.

He writes for the National Review. Most of his film reviews usually contain his love for Morrisey.

Oh goody, I can't wait for another Borderlands game that trivializes the playable Siren and/or the playable Siren is fucking AVA, the most "beloved" not-at-all annoying character since Tiny Tina.

Borderlands 2 shit all over Roland and Borderlands 3 shit all over Lilith.
I'd ask what popular character is going to get utterly ruined by Borderlands 4 but I don't think anyone likes the franchise or any of the characters enough to care anymore.

Maybe they'll literally spray piss and shit all over the cast just like in the movie? Wouldn't that be just so funny and quirky?

I can't wait for your Vault Hunter to not matter in the fucking story at all and spend the whole game being led by the nose while not even showing up in the fucking cutscenes. Seriously, if you're going to charge money for ingame cosmetics, I expect to at least see my character, you know, exist in the game world. But no, Stiny, get me a danish.
Or how no one really reacts to your character in any way. Seriously, in BL2, you can have the Krieg roll into the camp and everyone reacts to this ripped as fuck 7 foot Psycho being in Sancuary like water being poured into more water. TPS, for all it's faults, at least made the effort to add small details like, if played the Claptrap, having Jack say he removed your security clearance.
