Thanks to everybody that pointed out where we could find this in this thread. Video below. Randy is a pro. He sells the game really well here.

His gaming suffers a bit though. His character keeps nearing death while he talks.

Yup

I agree, he does a great job of talking about it and he gives us some solid info like a 15hr story plus the 100+ side missions.  He also said that when people join, the monsters get harder and there is more of them but you get better rewards.  So a great video, thanks!

Everyone kept dying, which

Everyone kept dying, which revealed a 'downed/incapacitated' state like Left 4 Dead's which I liked.

Also, it seems that LB (L1 for PS3 presumably) will be for Brick's Rage/Lilith's Phase-walk/Roland's Turret/Mordecai's Bloodwing and RB (R1) seems like you can have a secondary skil and that's where it'll be mapped. It's hard to tell but it looks like Brick's is a healing one, I saw a cross so I'm just assuming there.

Awesome. I really enjoyed

Awesome. I really enjoyed this footage because it shows a more difficult side to the game than the E3 footage did. I also liked how he walked up and fell off the stairs for no reason at the end, haha.

I thought it showed that RB

I thought it showed that RB was to throw a grenade or I might be thinking of another video.

Wow.

"Literally millions of guns."

So, now it's over 2,000,000...sweet!!!

Lol.  I'm just glad that Pitchford's design skills are better than his gaming one's.

I need to downplay the guns slightly.

Depending on their counting scheme, it could be something as big as a totally different model, or as little as a different paint job. But do you know what the difference between 650,000 guns and 2,000,000 guns? 2 extra attributes. Thats it. >.>
Each attribute basically "doubles" the number of guns. For instance, if an attribute made a gun glow, thered be two versions of every gun. One with glow, one without. That doubles it.

The numbers get a bit more riduculous if you count guns as "different" if they're stats (like damage) are different. i.e.this gun is 13 damage, this is 14, so they're 2 different types.
Mathematically, You start to realize why after a certain point, it kinda doesn't matter anymore. Just look at it like "Oh cool, the number doubled, they added some neat new feature or ability to guns, like maybe this bullet breaks into 6 in mid-flight, or this gun shoots backwards AND forwards"

Yeah.

I know, I did the math at one point.  But still, 2,000,000 is A LOT no matter how small the differences are.
