Nerdist Industries Announces the first-ever Nerdist Laser Tag featuring Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel with 2K and Gearbox

July 21 2014 – Burbank, CA – Lock and load and prepare to have your faces melted by fun, suckerbutts. Nerdist Industries, the multi-platform creator of genre and popular culture content, announces its lineup at San Diego Comic-Con today. Nerdist is primed to make a major impact in San Diego this year, teaming up with 2K and Gearbox Software for the first-ever Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel Laser Tag at Petco Park.

 

NERDIST LASER TAG: BORDERLANDS: THE PRE-SEQUEL

Thursday, July 24 – Saturday, July 26 11am-5pm Petco Park (100 Park Blvd, San Diego)

While we can't take you to the moon of Pandora for insurance reasons, Nerdist is teaming up with 2K and Gearbox Software to bring you as far inside Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel as humanly possible through interactive laser tag. What better way to celebrate a game with bazillions of guns, than by pew-pew-pewing your friends and other Comic-Con attendees with lasers? Priority access goes to SDCC badge holders and free to the public, Nerdist Laser Tag will let two teams of 25 players each go head to head to prove who's the baddest Vault Hunter of them all. With special guests like Chris Hardwick and Gearbox president Randy Pitchford, along with prizes for Borderlands cosplayers, a Nerdist stage with Jessica Chobot interviewing some of the hottest talent in town, a moon-ready oxygen bar and so much more, this is the most fun you can have outside the cold, unfeeling reaches of space.  

"I AM GOING TO DESTROY YOU WITH LASERS, RANDY PITCHFORD." declares Nerdist Founder and CEO, Chris Hardwick.
