Borderlands
as it has no thread of its own

Hooray! I have encountered a bug on the first mission. Oh blessed be.
I might actually do a trade-in for this.
Dim Dims has viral achievement, he does. Shall infect anyone he plays with.
By the power of Greyskull, there are already 3 people who have maxed this game. :S

Also: this game is very hard.
I really want to play this more, but am loathe to do so as I don't want to get too far ahead before Canuck and South join in :S
So, Dimrill, Dave, Canucklehead... and this game supports four. My wallet just twitched.
Four glorious chums romping around.
What's over that lovely rendered hill?

Why it's Dimrill hiding behind a rock being a scamp. Pershaw!
Damn damn damn! me wants now!!! but too many games to be played and not enough time! Woe is indeed me!
Having played all 4 characters up to level 5, I prefer the soldier and brick's special powers. Soldier's turret guns things down good, and brick's you run around listening to him go "Bleurgh! Huwooga bluergh boooglah! Hungerdy bunga!" for 15 seconds.
I want this now but I really must wait until I have cash.

Prolly a crissy prezzy this one.
Has it hit the Bargains thread yet? I'm interested in purchasing.
It's doing my nut in waiting for An Dave and An Canuck.
Paint an fantasy man then. Or do markgs birthday picture from last year x
My muse is not active at the moment.
Besides I've got a lovely story about some nice cakes to draw first.
Then Bob Carolgees having barbed wire rammed up his arse.
Go Dimrill! Go!

I should too I suppose.
I should be back in action Monday night, provided reassembling my lounge doesn't kill me.
You'll have to make do with me, Dimmers. I've bought it.
So have I! So it's Zardoz and Meaty who will be the latecomers.
I won't be on tonight, however. I have been awake for going on 30 hours again and I've just taken my bye bye tablets.
'Sfine by me, I think Forza 3 would win tonight anyway.
I might have it tomorrow morning, possibly, if I can be arsed to get up early and go into town with some trade-in fodder. But then I'd need to gold myself up again to play with you lot so, um... yeah... I dunno.
You know what you should be doing tomorrow, don't you?

Indeed. But, apart from everything else, I really don't want to leave the cat alone for long when she's poorly.
Ordered. (and Forza 3)
Oops, my wallet slipped. Does this have jump in-out co-op (as there are more than 4 people who have it), or is it the sort of thing where you all have to play it through together?
It's jump in and out. The review says how you can drag a noob along for a while and powerlevel them.
It sounds a bit like a non-M MORPG. Is that valid?
Yep.

I like it, not sure I love it. However I took it for a whirl at around 4 with the intention of only playing for twenty minutes...nearly three hours later however.

/EDIT: Having now played some co-op it is vital that the characters are at the same level or within a 1 or 2 level tolerance. If you are the lowest level char then you'd better get used to losing all your cash re-lifing as there is no scaling up of damage but there does seem to be a scaling down of XP.
Change of opinion...I love it, it scratches that MMO OCD thing while providing an interesting game. Gotta love a bit of gun porn.
I just got back from the hell of Saturday afternoon Cwmbran with a copy of this in a nice card sleeve, also Forza 3.

Will get going after the football and join in the online fun once I've got the hang of it.
HYOOJ BUG ALURT!!11!!11!!!11ELEVENTYONE

Fair warning and shit, yeah?
Gah, I'm having one of those 'stuck at the start' moments - killed the raiders in the first villagey place, now my little robot is stood facing the doorway of a lace, there's various controls that lok clickable but aren't, mysterious hallucination woman has said 'now go' and I'm ot sure where. My thing still tells me to follow robot dude, but he's uncommunicative and going nowhere.

I can has clue?
IT's a bug. I got it too. You have to restart and hope it dun't happen again. it did 3 times with me
That's what I thought. If it's successful, he'll start talking to the guy in the house after the last raider pegs it, then a door will open. I found the best policy is to wade in quick at that last area. Holding off and picking them off one by one meant the bug happened again.
At least you get to keep the spondoolicks, xp and equipment you picked up though.
OK now I'm happy, the bug did not reappear and I got to double my takings and XP from the first little phase of the game. Cheers Dimrill, I'd have been on to Forza 3 by now if I hadn't learned this.
How would a bug like that make it into the release?

Small things are really putting me off games lately.
It's a good question. Doesn't seem to be a rare one, either.

Can you not progress if that bug occurs?
Nope. You're in a locked yard.

Christ. There really is no excuse for letting that through, then. Do people just not test games these days?

Still, you all think it's stonking great fun overall?
Oh ar, it's bostin.
It's brilliant brilliant. I has a car.
Shouldn't you be on holiday photographing orangutans?
It's really really brilliant!

I was having decent enough fun until the moment I went to get grenades and decided to shell out on a pistol twice as powerful as anyhting else I've got, thus enabling me to one-shot-kill the little armoured rat dog thingers. Now the whole thing has clicked into place and I'm hella happy. I wonder what direction this was taking before Fallout 3 was released, though ;)
