Damnit, now I'm kind of torn -- I was planning on trading in Borderlands towards the New Super Mario Bros. Wii (because I really didn't have much fun starting to play through it a second time and I don't care for the MP), but now I kind of want to hold on until the DLC. #borderlands
@Taggart6: I don't always drink beer, but when I do...: Failed promises? They never said there will be a variety in character models or vehicles. You are putting words in there mouths. #borderlands
@Stuart Bradley Newsom: ACtually it was and was in posted in kotaku. In fact, 2 models were being shown though only 1 made it to release. The vehicles were also going to incorporate a greater "tuning system" with which to customize your ride. #borderlands
@Taggart6: I don't always drink beer, but when I do...: not sur eif you saw, but you can also edit your inventory value in one of the ini files. i've been rocking 50 slots. been awesome in multiplayer, it's a shopping spree!! #borderlands
@cihx: Yeah I'm trying to avoid that ATM. All I'm playing with are basic thigns we should have control over like disabling the in0game mic, disabling mouse smoothing, and some other performance related issues. #borderlands
@Slagathorian: If you're definitely going to play with friends then the 360. It's perfectly alright in single-player in small bursts but online co-op is far more fun if you've got some good friends. It does seem a little easy in co-op though... #borderlands
@Slagathorian: If most of your friends are on the 360, then naturally, get the 360 version. Borderlands is a game that you have to/will want to play with friends.
You should have gotten the game when it first came out- it was only $39 at walmart, futureshop and bestbuy here. Oh well, maybe try the flea market! #borderlands
@Slagathorian: As I said, it's okay in single-player. Certainly more of a challenge. But it's a lot more fun when you've got a few of you. You get better loot too (enemies are tougher but I haven't had a problem) and you can always just carry on in single-player if you so wish.
It's also kinda handy if you have a friend who has gotten further than you and can pass on some great items they find. That's part of the enjoyment too: sharing certain weapons and items which people/classes favour that you might not. #borderlands
@Slagathorian: I never thought it was anything but. The game, like any of Valve's games, is built from the ground up for multiplayer. If you try to play it like Fallout, it might get tedious. Friends are always better. When I found out this game had split-screen, I almost jumped out of my pants. #borderlands
@Slagathorian: Haha, they barely had any ads out at all. Kayce saw it in a Walmart flyer first in Toronto, then I found out Futureshop and Bestbuy were matching it and had it up on their site for $39. Went into the downtown Futureshop on the morning of and picked up two copies. They had a huge stack behind the counter. But by the late afternoon I think it was all sold out in every location. My brother wasn't able to get in on the deal because he had class.
:(
I'll send you a tip next time I hear of any deals!
I guess Jack White likes paychecks too. You know, being one of the first people to come out and say people need to pick up a real instrument rather then playing a game and all...
@BoomingEchoes: He never said that. He basically said that it's a sad thing if you need to be in a video game to get your music known these days. He never said that people shouldn't play the games, nor did he say that they should pick up an instrument. What White said was more of a stab at todays youth rather than the games they play. #rockband
@Gorilla Snow is Maximum Risky: THANK YOU. Jesus, people don't understand shit anymore. I could say "man, it's too bad chili fries have to have beans" and chili fry fans will think I'm attacking the chili fries or--even worse--fries as a whole, then see me consuming and call out my name under a banner of hypocrisy. It just bugs the hell out of me. Why can't people understand that Jack White just wishes his fries came bean free!? #rockband
@Stoli: Or "Black Math". 'Girl, You Have No Faith in Medicine" was my least favorite on Elephant, but having said that, it's still a solid track. #rockband
@robpe36: he never said he was against them. he said he didn't precisely like the way they introduce people to music.
you have to understand his bias. for him, learning to play the guitar, writing songs, and becoming a liked, then well-liked, then famous, then world-famous musician was a process that he might call the greatest feeling in the world.
i've played a two-minute guitar solo of my own composition in front of two hundred people, a small fraction of his audiences, and i can totally begin to understand where he's coming from (without forgetting where music game fans come from).
for him, for a person who loves creating and exploring music so much, it's hard to understand why someone would want to just pretend to play it. it's maybe hard for him to understand why you wouldn't want to be making it yourself. he finds it silly that people like these music games. it might not occur to him that some people don't want to create music of their own. they're happy just pretending, and listening, and appreciating.
though he probably, somewhere in his heart, understands that it brings them pleasure, and figures he shouldn't deprive them of that. (or himself of money lol)
I think I'm more excited to see Kasabian - "Club foot" on there more than I am to see any of the The White Stripes tracks. Not to say that I dislike The White Stripes or anything, I just happen to be a bigger Kasabian fan. #rockband

Work on unlocking the damn PC graphical options via in game menus.
Rewriting the ini files gets old after a while. #borderlands

Totally agree. The port process was a damn rush job for Borderlands and it shows through and through. #borderlands

I still enjoy the game, but the failed promises are disapointing. #borderlands

Most of my friends are on the 360 version. But I prefer the PS3 controller.
Your input would be greatly appreciated. #borderlands

21: But its a French song. Street cred with the indie crowd. The Damned do a cover of it.
24: Then we should be The Damned! Its a way cooler name! #rockband
