"Big Iron" is a country ballad written and performed by Marty Robbins, originally released as an album track on Gunfighter Ballads and Trail Songs in September 1959, then as a single in February 1960 with the song "Saddle Tramp" as the B-side single.[2] Members of the Western Writers of America chose it as one of the Top 100 Western songs of all time.[3]

It tells the story of an Arizona Ranger's duel with a 24-year-old outlaw named Texas Red in the "town of Agua Fria".[a] The townspeople predict the death of the ranger; an unconcerned Texas Red having already killed "one and nineteen" men, but at the moment they meet, the ranger kills Texas Red with the swiftness of the "big iron on his hip." The ranger's draw was so swift, that Texas Red had not even "cleared leather,"[b] killing the outlaw in one shot.

Robbins's version of the song reached number 5 on the Billboard Country chart and number 26 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in April 1960.[4] The B-side, "Saddle Tramp" was not included on Gunfighter Ballads,[2] but was later placed on Robbins' 1966 LP The Drifter.[5]

The song is also featured in the video game Fallout: New Vegas on the in-game radio stations, 'Mojave Music Radio', ‘Black Mountain Radio’ and 'Radio New Vegas'. The popularity of the game helped spur a revival of interest in Robbins' music in the 21st century. In the decade following the video game's release, "Big Iron" became an Internet meme, gaining popularity through remixes and Photoshop parodies as well as its use on YouTube.[6]

Inspiration Edit

The eponymous "Big Iron" was built by Andy Anderson in his Fast Draw Holster shop from parts. It was on a Great Western frame with a 12" barrel made from an 1892 Winchester rifle or carbine barrel in .44 WCF. Andy was 6'4" with large hands. He put Colt 1860 Army grips on his personal SA revolvers, and this gun has an original grip frame from an 1860 Army. The cylinder is a Great Western cylinder chambered for .44 Magnum.

Robbins happened to be in the shop the day a customer bought the gun. The customer was also a very large man, and Robbins was fascinated by his fast drawing the Buntline. One week later, Andy Anderson received in the mail a record of Big Iron; Robbins wrote the song after seeing this gun. Andy Anderson additionally had a personal gun he called Big Iron, a Colt S.A. .44 Special with 7 1/2" barrel out of his own favorite rig, the "AA", a high rise version of his Walk & Draw Western.[7]

The gun that served to inspire this song currently resides in a private collection.

^ slang for drawing a firearm out of its holster

I've seen people say that and the lyrics don't make a lot of sense to me, either. "Big Iron" is so distinctive because it feels like an artifact from some kind of post-apocalyptic future, a relic of a bygone age, when humans were more powerful than any physical force of nature, when the only way you could truly conquer anyone was with an iron armature like the one that made the gun Big Iron

But Big Iron is also a country song. It has references to farms and farming and ranches and a "cowboy" with a "bronze gun," and if you look at it in a post-apocalyptic context, you won't be able to get it. If you look at it from a country music perspective, you'll see a lot of references to "a cowboy" and the "big iron on my hip." The song is about someone named "TEXAS RED" with a "twisted face" who "shoots down the sky / like a comet on the sun."[15] And it's easy to ignore the fact that there is also a part about someone called "RANGER RIDER" who "tries to catch him, but he keeps on riding." We are told that "his eyes look dead" and he is "[c]all[ed] 'BROWN TOWN BULL.'" [16] But the song also references "rural farming communities" and "corn and wheat and cattle and hay" and "the sun going down over the Rio Grande." What the hell are we supposed to think, if this isn't a country song but something else?

And that's the important point: the song doesn't come out and say it. The song only exists when you take a country music perspective on it. You only get the sense that there is some other "unspoken reality" behind the words, that the song is "about" some kind of supernatural force and not, say, people and horses and corn and farms.

This is actually a pretty familiar experience, for me, as someone who has a lot of experience with listening to pop music that's "subversive" of whatever cultural context it was written in. In the post-punk and hard-rock worlds, you would be more likely to encounter songs that talked about "subliminal messages," "unspoken realities," or "forces beyond our comprehension." These kinds of songs tend to be popular, because there is always a listener for whom the song's message is not about a particular culture but "about" everything.

GTA buttons looks uncomfortably clean

I mean yeah, I agree but...

Last time you saw Fallout Buttons in all his glory, he’s been recently beat up, locked up, starved, crying for days and freshly knocked in the head by a bottle:

You look at GTAO Buttons after that and he looks like this:

Is there such thing as good sonic media outside of the games

Do I have to put a giant blinking sign on this blog that says “I DON’T HATE ALL OF THE ARCHIE SONIC COMICS, JUST SOME OF THEM.” Like I wouldn’t be doing this blog if I wasn’t fond of the series

Also like every Sonic cartoon is pretty good except for Underground. SatAM, Sonic X, Boom, the OVA. Even AoStH has its charm. And the IDW comics rule. And people still swear by the Fleetway comics. Honestly as a whole the tie-in media probably has a better track record than the games

[foulserpent]

Just realized that after separating from sheogorath Xikeel has can’t cast spells without a staff and one of sheogorath’s artifacts is a fork that prevents the wielder from casting spells did I uncover secret lore or is this purely a coincidence

yea this is actually lore so secret that i didnt even kno about it..

nah yeah thats a coincidence, thats pretty funny.. the actual reason why thats a thing is that i feel like that situation and the strain of being separated from the sheogorath entity should have lingering effects, so xikeel lost her ability to cast magic like she used to. kind of a physical manifestation of how these traumas dont really get healed, and you instead just become a new normal with new tools. etc

Buttplug is a unique pistol in Borderlands 3 that is manufactured by Jakobs. It is obtained from the mission Dump on Dumptruck located in The Droughts, if the optional objective is completed.

Special Weapon Effects

You plug 'em, and they'll be on their butt. – +110% melee damage. Fires multiple pellets per shot with reduced damage. Does double melee damage when used from behind.Usage & Description

The Buttplug is suitable for melee oriented characters with its melee accessory and increased melee damage for rear enemy hits.

Trivia

A buttplug is a sex toy that is designed to be inserted into the rectum for sexual pleasure. This fits the general theme of the quest that rewards the weapon, as it focuses on butt jokes in general.

The Big Succ is a unique assault rifle in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Vladof. It is obtained from the mission Skag Dog Days.

Special Weapon Effects

What dat underbarrel do? – Underbarrel grenade launcher as the alternate fire mode.

Usage & Description

Apart from the fixed grenade launcher attachment, the Big Succ is identical in utility to generic Vladof assault rifles. Its main purpose is to introduce the player to the new alternate fire mechanics of Borderlands 3 and to provide splash damage needed to complete the mission.

Notes

Trivia

The weapon's name is based off a popular online phrase used to describe oral sex in a humorous manner, typically in meme formats that include a picture of a person giving a questionable expression.

Moxxi's Bouncing Pair is a legendary grenade mod in Borderlands 3 manufactured by Pangolin. It is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.

Special Weapon Effects

Prepare for trouble, and make it double. – Throws two grenades at once, one as incendiary and one as shock. Grenades bounce 4 times producing an explosion on each bounce and the final landing gives a health Transfusion effect.

Usage & Description

Moxxi's Bouncing Pair is extremely effective for bombarding enclosed spaces with explosions, especially against fleshy shielded targets. Its transfusion effect on the last bounce also gives the character some extra survivability, most notably on Moze, who can focus into grenade healing through the use of Vampyr.

Notes

The incendiary grenade always spawns on the left side and the shock grenade always spawns on the right side.

Trivia

The flavor text is a motto of Jessie and James of Team Rocket from the Pokemon series. Appropriately for the grenade's dual elements, Jessie has red hair and James has blue hair.

Like many weapons titled around Moxxi, the grenade's title is an obvious euphemism towards her well-endowed bosom.

Pounder is the title of a group of common shotguns in Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. They are manufactured exclusively by Torgue and feature the double (Jakobs) barrel.

Usage & Description

As the Pounder fires from a double barrel, it has an increased pellet count that comes at the cost of ammo consumption, recoil, and accuracy. It is a decent Torgue shotgun available early in the game, but is easily outperformed by the Hulk and Ravager which unlike the Pounder, are not available in white rarity.

Notable Variants

Borderlands 2

Landscaper – Unique explosive shotgun that fires pellets which behave like landmines, exploding when an enemy approaches.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

Moonscaper – Unique explosive shotgun that fires pellets which behave like landmines, exploding when an enemy approaches.

Notes

The Pounder is obtained randomly from any suitable loot source.

Trivia

The title "Pounder" originally belonged to a group of combat rifles in Borderlands characterized by semi-automatic fire, a 6-shot magazine, and increased damage per projectile.

Reblogging the Buttplug and the Bouncing Pair.

Also, I think the Moxxi and Jessie reference was supposed to make it sound like she had big boobs and was nicknamed the Big Succ for it, but I've seen multiple fanartists draw the gun without her tits and I still have never gotten a clear answer about how the name of the weapon was decided or why people are so bothered by her "big breast" nickname
