Borderlands 4 is chock-full of more loot than you'll know what to do with during your time on Kairos. From ordinance to weapons to shields, the amount of loot you can acquire in just a brief playthrough is staggering. Of course, most of this loot will end up sold to a vending machine or left on the ground for some wandering Psychos to pick up. However, the same can't be said for loot that you receive from a Golden Chest. Golden Chests offer extremely rare items in Borderlands 4 that will...

The TV adaptation of Naughty Dog's The Last of Us on HBO is a big hit, but could the developer's next game, Intergalactic: The Heretic Prophet, leap to TV or the big screen?
