life in the borderlands
« on: August 19, 2010, 11:18:15 PM »
I notice that a few of us now own Borderlands (one of my favourite games of the year) and as i purchased (legal) versions of the DLC with steam mayhaps lets try and do some multi action

Mad Moxxi for instance is IMPOSIBLE solo and is more fun MP, plus better weapons drop in MP ;)

connection wont let me put up an event in steam so how about

Sunday evening 6pm? if you guys who own this agree we can make this a regular thing until we blast everything the game has to offer to kingdom come :) If you enjoy it solo i assure you MP is 10x more fun :)and more challenging ( i found solo easy personally)

Sunday, premiership started again last week.

Sundays are a touch more busier - more so since im one of a handful of folks with ESPN that I know.

Do like the look of this game for MP mind you - love the cellshaded look it has as well.

Gamepad isnt a good as mouse+keyboard though, will be switching back.

Dr Zeds is fun especially Old HAven full of Zombie troopers, Mad Moxxi is infuriatingly difficult at times, secret Armory has some nice vehicles :)


but on another note just got a text telling me im busy on Thursday evening now, so Friday instead?

MP is the Online stuff yes? I'll need to dig out one of my Gamespay logins it seems.

Or do you mean the option to invite people to an SP game and co-op it? (i assume its co-op)
