i really like them. the graphics are the one reason i haven't gotten sick of the environment yet. plus, i don't think that realism would have worked when rendering screaming midgets throwing themselves to the ground with shotgun recoil.

Hmm yeah, true. Guess I am just not a fan of the look is all :)
One of my friends asked me this morning if I had it (for PC) since he apparently is looking for folks to play it with as well.
i dunno. i probably would have bought it for pc, but i knew of three people that i see on a daily basis that were going to get it for xbox, so i went that rout. i think it plays pretty well. i wish they would union xbox and pc so ama could play it too!
Well, I have yet to get it--so maybe for the multiplayer (on/offline) the xbox would be a good choice *ahem* roomie has teh X-boxing mutation.
Then, once my other friend gets his Xbox fixed we can do L4D in the same room (bleh~on the same screen)

ZOMG! Borderlands is so much fun!
Do you know if console peeps can play with people using the PC version?
HAI MEEEEEEEEEEPPP!
I still don't think we're well acquainted, but everyone on Ama is part of a single entity imo (but, like, different sides of a D20--gotcha?). So, many more high's and 5's!! WB!
*ahem* Some of the above may be the rambling of an "Eye-opener" coffee with 4 shots of espresso I had today. Well, maybe not.

Erm. If we're all part of a single entity, I'm very confused. There is no way I'm as hairy as vas.
Not all of the entity is hairy! It's just the mental association of people on the forums/WoW is organized into the same area giving it a similar quality to a blend of personalities.
What, borderlands? I heard it from Timmy that it's sort of fun, but not really after a while. I've been spending my time playing Empire: Total War, reading books, and trying not to look creepy while hanging out with some of Tim's friends. Oh, and driving taxis and studying for the subject GRE.
I seriously haven't been really putting in more than like an hour a day of video games, max. Just been sort of busy doing shit. But if I free up more time, maybe I'll get this game and start wrecking sum shitz with you guys =D.
woot! everybodies in!...chris and i are all around like 18/19 i think...i have a melee anorexic siren that is mad frail...i think i did the wrong shit with her but w/e...its fun to punch things...i like punching
Multiplayer seemed like it was just 5000 hours of looting after killing everything instantly, though I only played with one dude. And I'm extremely OCD about looting EVERYTHING.

The single factor in making Fallout 3's length multiply by at least 30. I'm the same way here too, Tim!
i never really considered how much time looting plays into it...honestly i dont think we spend a whole lot looting...we spend more time ccing then anything else...also trying to survive...i guess we just suck too much to be one shotting shit =)
Trumby, the drop rate increases when you're partnered up, and much more ass can be handed out in a shorter period of time. I didn't feel quite as overwhelmed by the amount of time I spent looting vs time I spent killing shit in single player, (though in single player, other things bored me).
Not that it's a shitty game or anything, it just takes too long to do things with a lot of time spent on not kicking ass, so I prefer to play something like Killing Floor where it's undiluted asshanding from start to finish for my quick fix of violence.
On a related note, you should all buy Killing Floor. It's awesome (but takes some time investment b/c leveling).

I miss gaming with you guys too! I still haven't had a chance to install and test Borderlands. Kate's 30th birthday was this weekend and it's been hectic the whole time. On the plus side, I got to take her here, which was one of the most impressive and delicious meals of my life.
Holy shit, 21 new posts in this thread....apparently I need to pay more attention.
Looting in Borderlands is so easy, everything falls onto the ground and you can see from a distance if you need the ammo and if so just mash E as you run over it and you pick it up. I don't really see what the problem is. It's way easier than, say, WoW looting, where you have to actually interact with each killed mob in order to loot them.
Well, my gunslinger is 23ish, Janet and I have been playing on and off and trying to get Em involved. I have a 'working copy' loaded onto my website if anyone needs it. Lemme know! >_>
alright, i'm going to need some gamespy ids or whatever, so i can test out the multiplayer. did you guys just use your WoW names? mine is Fapfapfapfapfap : )
My gamespy id is Kaest. I have a lvl 23 gunslinger and a lvl 5 or 6 uh, whatever the melee dudes are called, berserkers? I'd be down for playing whenever as well, I have dinner plans this evening but will be available later in the evening, and same with tomorrow night.
You and your mornings, Fap! I'm not usually up in the mornings on weekends if I can help it. :)
FAP. Janet and I are around, and ready for ACTION. Do you have gchat, steam, or any other sort of IM? We use Steam for voice chatting since Borderlands' in-game chat kinda sucks.
It's only 24.99 on Steam! (Sale!!)

Woohoo! This game is fun! I was a bit disheartened when I saw it was on the UR engine (I don't know why I didn't like UR: III), but it's really a great game! I haven't explored the online/gamespy stuff yet, but how do I check my ID for it?
XD, yea I have a rocket launcher with a zoom on it. It's accuracy is decent, but it shoots like 5 rockets at once and when zoomed in I'm lucky if I see one rocket hit anywhere within the zoomed area.

kaest and yuresis....I have YOU as a friend on Steam (I think), how do you not have me? Weird.
You have to actually create the account within Borderlands, iirc, it's not the best system.
Also, haven't played in awhile, Janet's been busy w/school and I've been doing other shit, do we want to set up a time to try like a 4 player game or something? My gunslinger is like 27 or 28 and my berserker is 19.
I would love that. Finals are coming up though, so I may or may not have time in the next few weeks. I think my hunter is in the mid teens or something.
Ok, I have a lvl 33 soldier and a lvl 2 Siren. Ditto on the finals--2 weeks inc! Oh, apparently I do have kaest on my firend's list....I just forgot who it was! >.<
I expected a vault full of amazing loot and some sort of explanation tying all of the random plot stuff together, as opposed to what we got which was more Claptrap hilarity. >_>
Aye! Also, there was something really comforting about the computer lady's voice. I dunno if it's because it was one of the only things that advanced the plot or not but it was a cool character to have in it.
The Soldier's comments seem to keep the two entertained with the fresh variety in the game's vernacular. I also got lazy and stabbed a skag for most of its HP to try and earn another melee kill (for achievement-ing) and Chris was befuddled while watching me do so. The Zombie Island expansion is really fun too--especially so with the loot zombie sneaking up on Chris. Pesky zombies!
