>people say Borderlands is "cel-shaded"
>people say cel-shading are those black outlines around everything
>even wikipedia says that Borderlands is a cel-shading game
Holy fuck. It's really like I am the only person in the world who knows what cel-shading actually is. I very rarely get mad at anything, but this whole cel-shading deal drives me crazy to an undescribable extent. This is for everyone of you who thought that Cartoon-style = cel-shading:
It isn't. Cel-shading = no gradient shadows.

Team Fortress 2 is Cartoon-style.
Borderlands is Cartoon style.
LOZ: Wind Waker is cel-shading.

This is the closest that TF2 can get to cel-shading, and those outlines are not even obligatory for that look. It's just the shadows.

Please, never call Borderlands cel-shaded.
