Borderlands (360)

[Karzee]

Was Disciple's gamertag Penguin Lad? We should let him know.

[BossSaru]

I sent a message, but will chase him up about it. Feel free to add to the peer pressure also. Threats, comments about his manhood, whatever you feel is necessary to get his attention.

[Karzee]

Schnibbles: If you haven't played this before then I'll give you the choice of being a Soldier or Berserker, I really don't mind which one I am.

[McSpeed]

I've added you on Live, MrMonkey.

Schnibbles, what's your Gamertag?

[Schnibbles]

Schnibbly. I think. Haven't used my own gamertag in an age.

Also, I have played through Borderlands four times, once on PC as Mordecai, twice on 360 as Mordecai and once on 360 as Roland, and I've played and completed all the expansions; fear not.

I would much much much prefer to be Roland over Brick.

Disciple's lurking account here. I replied to the Xbox Live PM a while ago; are you guys really going to kick me out of the 4 after I tried to get it running a few times?

[Karzee]

Awww man, I wish we could have got hold of you sooner but FTDave said you'd left the forum. I'll step down if you want in, after all, you were definitely up for it six weeks ago whereas I said no. Let me know so I don't waste money rebuying it.

[BossSaru]

Sorry Disciple. Did not have a chance to get back onto Live until a few moments ago, just saw your message from an hour ago. If Karzee is nonplussed then fair dues to him, a gentlemanly thing to do. I am happy with whatever foursome we can muster up. Lets work something out. No hard feelings whichever way we do this.

[Schnibbles]

If I have this right, you guys were playing Borderlands in a group before, so by rights it should be me that steps down. It's only fair.

[McSpeed]

Same here really, it's my first time in this group as well.

Already spoke with Karzee about revisiting Borderlands in another co-op campaign. We'll figure something out either way.

[Billy Brown]

I fancy a co-op Borderlands run at some point so I'd be up for teaming up with whoever drops out of your group and anyone else interested.

[Oral Thigh Clean]

Apologies guys I've come across as a bit of an arse, Saturdays hangover is just starting. Oh, and I am an arse

Might we have enough for 2 groups of 4? I'd happily mix/match go with new people - make it a different experience after all! (is that 7 or 8 with interest now).

[Oral Thigh Clean]

(Also due to my idiocy I got confused and thought Dave was back (because I heard his name).

Could we get FTD back into it, he seemed a bit reluctant before. Another shout out in the main thread? There's got to be some people who'd be interested...

[Karzee]

Awesome if FTD could but I think he's still got too many games to get through.

Looks like we're up to six people now.

[Oral Thigh Clean]

Well unf 1) I'm not supposed to be posting etc (my own rule) and 2) I can't send PMs! So if you could try another call to arms in discussion, I'll ask some other ppl I know too...?

[Karzee]

There's a Rllmukker called HeyMykie who has just told me he'll be interested in playing, so that's a possible seven people.

[HeyMykie]

And mastacraker for an even 8

[Schnibbles]

That would work quite nicely.

[Karzee]

To see how best to split the groups who wants to play the campaign from scratch and who wants to go straight for the DLC.

I'll be playing from scratch.

[Schnibbles]

From scratch here, not least because I don't have the DLC on this profile.

[BossSaru]

From scratch also. I have the DLC, would rather play the regular mode for at least a while first.

[Oral Thigh Clean]

Id prefer to play from scratch also

[HeyMykie]

ill play from scratch

[Mastacraker]

And mastacraker for an even 8

Oke then special for Mighty Mikie Frannypants will join up in The Borderlands. Mikey I'll hear then from you how and when

[McSpeed]

Scratch too.

[Karzee]

Any ideas how we split the groups then? Are there certain times people people can't start till? I.e. McSpeed doesn't usually come online until 9:30 (uk time). HeyMykie is American and 5 hours behind, etc. Or do we split in the order people came and said yes? i.e.:

MrMonkey

Karzee

McSpeed

Schnibbles

Oral Thigh Clean

Billy Brown

Hey Mykie

Mastacracker

Any thoughts?

I'm not fussed who I'm with. I'll go buy this today with a preference of starting tonight.

I like this set-up.

And I can manage to come online around 8pm UK time, as suggested in the communication among group 1, so no worries

[BossSaru]

That listing seems fair to me. How is your connection for hosting Karzee? IIRC you used to host in the past and the connection was solid. I'm on an 8Mb, so happy to host (and send invites) if you prefer. I will be on from 8ish at the latest, so lets rendezvous later.

[Billy Brown]

I'm not normally able to get online until 10pm or so at the earliest for any kind of sustained gaming so if that's going to be a problem then I'm obviously happy for somebody else to take my place.

[Karzee]

Just picked up the Game of the Year edition with all four DLC packs so I'm good to go.

That could work out ok actually. Being from the US HeyMykie doesn't usually come on until that time.
