Be Excellent To Each Other

Dave's now an Hunter and I'm an Oowunga De Bunga.

I've played split screen. It's fine, works well - except that it doesn't resize the menus, so you end up doing a lot of scrolling about.

I'd guess it doesn't do split screen online shenanigans, mind.

Hmm - never tried.

Y'kna, I'm going to buy the DLC I love this game so much.

Is that what the kids call it these days?

It'll be me laughing when I buy this for £15!

In Summer next year when no one else is playing...

I take it that Dr Ned is Dr Zed's twin brother, meaning they could save on voice actors. And no doubt the zombies will just be more axe-Gaywoods.

Hmm, I got a guilty feeling when I was thinking about buying it because of my shopping spree yesterday and my haircut I have booked for Saturday plus I'm going out for dinner on Saturday and I'm still trying to convince Jen I need another Xbox so maybe I should try and resist

But you can play as a ginger psychic tattooed Sophie Ellis Bextor with an exposed midriff!

Odin curse you Mothrakk! Again!

We had a bit of an episode earlier when we disturbed a Gaywood sanctuary. Fair shit me up, it did.

You lots all need to shut up about this before I go and do something stupid like buy yet another game I don't have the time to play.

We are rubbing off on you.

It's polite to just ignore it.

You'll be hearing from my lawyers shortly.

You need to dash for the little hut with the bandits in and quickly dispatch them. You can then hide underground and rush out to take a pop at the winged cow.

Oh yeah, killed him twice now. Doesn't stop me cursing the bullet sucking abomination though. If I hadn't got my fancy alien infy ammo gun I'd be really upset.

Just got into the second area. This game just gets better and better!


Also, I laughed hard when "Skullbugger is online" appeared on my screen last night.

Poured a few more hours into this last night and hit level 20 with my Roland. Specc'd to Infantry and achieved the Support Gunner moniker. Deploying the turret on Sledge nailed him in no time without me taking any damage huzzah! Yet again this game kept me up well past my bed time.

It looks as though I am due to move into another area pretty soon. Going to complete all of the missions in the starting zone for the achievement first though.

What's the level cap on this thing, assuming there is one? I just need a context to your "I got up to level 20" etc.

I think that the level cap is currently at 50.

I guess I should add to that, I've easily spent 18 - 20 hours playing already. But I would point out that I am incredibly slow (insert obvious joke here) and spend a lot of time ambling about, getting lost and generally dithering over inventory choices.

Do you know if the game essentially ends at the level cap right now, or is there a host of other stuff to do once you reach it?

I would guess (and it is only a guess) that the story ends but you could probably go back and do other things. We'll have to wait for an expert to pitch in [cue Dimmers/Mr Dave]

Level cap is 50, but apparently you'll struggle to reach it on the first playthrough. I don't know what happens when you reach the end, mind.

I haven't actually heard that there is a cap, as such. I know the last achievement is level 50.

Had a mentil time in Old Haven last night with a Dave. Good lord those Infantry/Engineer/Defender guys are tough.

How quickly do The Hut tend to get games to you?

I've stuck a couple of my games on ebay, so I reckon I should be able to make up the £30 Borderlands costs, and just buy it slightly in advance of getting the money.

They are complete bitches, especially the defenders, it took an age for my addled brain to realise that they were zeroes bouncing off the buggers, just before I walked into the bright light.

Had an Owungaing good time last night with Dimrill and Older Dave. When I joined, I was level 11. When I left, I was level 20. EVERYTHING we encountered had a big flashing skull next to its name. You know what happens when you're level 11 and you shoot a level 26 bandit with a level 7 shotgun? SWEET FUCK ALL, that's what.

So I spent most of my time dying and being revived by the most kind Dave and Dimdims. And laughing my pants off. The downside to all this, as Dave's pointed out, is I will now return to my own playthrough (where I've only just left Fyrestone) and be totally unstoppable.

Han a pathetically tiny amount of fun last night with Dave and Dimrill, as it was mostly spent getting owned by Mothrakk... then after they buggered off, I did some missions, though nothing spectacular.

That's Mothrakk for you. TBH, I doubt he'd be much easier at level 30+.

I have ordered this. I will perhaps play with some of you for some shooty fun.

I hope my eBay games sell well.

Dave and Dimrill are nearing end.

Dave will be around late again, for fun and games.

I'm never going to start Forza 3 at this rate!

I see no downside to that.

Looks like another night of single player then.

I'll be on later when Dave's on. I don't wanna get out of sync character wise for story related stuff.

That's sort of my thinking. I want to do the thing through solo, but I'll happily do earlier bits in coop right now. I think we'll get more in-out coop play once most people have completed it once.

The gits in Old Haven are officially gits.

Managed to rescue all the claptraps earlier, so I may a supah boffo 42 inventory slots now. Old Haven gits show up later on in the story too

I am looking at this right now, and have been for two nights. I'm busy, though
I really should play it.

Is this the grot thread, or did I miss something?

Seems a bit daft, its not like the story is earth-shattering or anything, its just an excuse for a load of quests.

I'm betting that the Vault contains Sealed Evil in a Can™. Because that would be highly original. Not.

well, Sir Dimrill and his Knave have finished the story. One of the reveals made us all chuckle.

Now we're both level 38, and my main weapon is still my awesome exploding pistol that I've been using since level 21! (It's a very good pistol)

God damnit, system update!

*dusts hands* That was indeed that. I certainly don't see any need to play it further.

*tosses game on pile*

What am I now, level 27? 28?

I doubt it will be chucked on the pile for a good while yet.

I dare say I've teh fuxx0red my own game by hanging around with you guys.

The thing is, though, the drop-in drop-out co-op only works if you're near each other in levels. During all of our adventures I was mostly a nuisance (as always, arf arf) and observer as I couldn't really help you out beyond activating the area transitions and trying to revive you. Bullets from my guns bounced off the enemies like raisins off an Oldsmobile, not fun.

Gerroff have you. Invite us to your playthrough next time and we'll wallop through your story arc instead.
