hahahaha, Wardryer has.

We found out that you can use Hamachi to get around the ridiculous difficulty of getting your firewall just right to host a server. Hamachi is a super-simple VPN program; basically it makes it so that we're all on a LAN together even if we're behind firewalls and NAT devices. So everyone who plays Borderlands should install Hamachi and set it up like this:

1) Download it. No need to register, just download it. https://secure.logmein.com/products/ham ... nload.aspx

2) Install and run it. It ran fine for me on Win 7 and Agent on Win XP, and didn't even require a reboot after installation.

3) (I think this step is only necessary if you're hosting a game.) Go into the Network Connections portion of your control panel, the one where all of your network connections are listed. In Win 7 you can get to this by searching the Start menu for "View network connections". A new connection for Hamachi should be listed along with any other ones you have. In the menu bar (you may need to press the Alt key to see it), go to Advanced -> Advanced Settings, and in the top window in the "Adapters and Bindings" tab, use the green arrows to move Hamachi to the top of the list, hit OK, and move on.

4) The first time you run Hamachi, join an existing network. (Since this will bypass firewalls and connect our computers directly, I'm putting the network name and pass in the priv forum. Go ahead and give it to people we know, but I'm gonna keep it off the public forum in case viraL is lurking.) After you're on the network, go into System -> Preferences -> Settings and switch Encryption to disabled. We don't need our Borderlands traffic encrypted and it would just add overhead. Use the power-button thing in the main Hamachi window to log out and back in, and you're all set.

5) Once everybody is in the Hamachi network, host an Online Game (not a LAN) and do invites as usual. Or as the usual way would be if the game's matchmaking didn't fucking suck.

This way nobody has to do voodoo rituals or make their computer drop trou on the internet in order to host a game.

k done

Agent sez:

[22:19] Agent_137: found a fix
[22:19] Agent_137: start a single player game first
[22:19] Agent_137: then host online private game
[22:19] Agent_137: don't need hamachi though i'm sure it would help
[22:19] Agent_137: (help if you fucked up port forwarding or have a router that makes it fucking retarded like i do - i had to forward all 6 rocommended ports as both TCP and UDP as 12 different entries)
[22:19] Agent_137: i did not post this please post on the forums if it works for you too

I didn't have a chance to try it tonight, but it's worth a try as Hamachi can introduce some lag.

This is supposed to allow you to skip the intro movies. In your My Documents folder, open My Games\Borderlands\WillowGame\Config\WillowEngine.ini . Find these lines:

[FullScreenMovie]
StartupMovies=2K_logo
StartupMovies=Gearbox_logo
StartupMovies=NVidia
StartupMovies=Loading

and comment them out, like this:

[FullScreenMovie]
//StartupMovies=2K_logo
//StartupMovies=Gearbox_logo
//StartupMovies=NVidia
//StartupMovies=Loading

Change your font to see 5 lines of "bonuses" on certain items, instead of the visible 4.

All kinds of tweeks

Some items have 6+ bonuses, just fyi. Game's broken.

Dont read the next post unless you've beaten the game. It contains spoilers.

WORST ENDING EVER

Have you forgotten Halo 2?

Halo 2 was probably the inspiration for this ending.

So obviously several of you have made it through the game once already...I guess I'm wondering if I should even bother with this one or if it'll be essentially and extinct guiltly pleasure once l4D2 comes out.

Frankly there's a bunch of new upcoming games I'm interested it, but kinda seeing it this way:

L4D2 --> hell yeah
Borderlands --> Eh...don't know yet
Modern Warfare 2 --> Single player probably rocks, multiplayer (espically PC based) has been extremely nerfed. Either acquire for minimal cost on the PC for the single player, or just say fuck it and go for the xbox copy of it.
Dragon Age Origions --> Definate Xbox...absolutely no multiplayer = go with the 'I play alone' machine.

I don't know...basically I'm a fan of purchasing for the xbox if I expect to play with friends on the same tv screen. If there's a massive difference in graphical settings or it's one that we will all play together regularly I'll go the pc route.

And lastly I've been drinking a decent bit tonight. The origional purpose of this email was to gather other's opinions and maybe someone would actually pursuade me to purchase borderlands bwefore wednesday (gov't holiday - whoot!). As of right now I'm kinda thinking this email is wasting everyones time more then anything. I can hear u bitching now assrot. ANd happy making another smartass 'i'm-better-then-you' comment. Fuck you all. I'm gonna go play mafia wars.

You got it all wrong, man. I'm not better than you, I'm a lazy gov't employee too! Here's to sleeping 'til noon on Wednesday.

Huh?

I'd say stick with L4D2. Border lands is fun but I'm guessing that most of us are probably over it. I hear Dragon Age is cool *shrug* talk to Dime. He really likes it.

I really like it.

I've quickly lost interest in this game. I feel bad too because I strong-armed my buddy in to purchasing it and we did play through about what I would guess is half... maybe a little more then half and I'm just done.

Shit does nothing for me at this point. It's fun but not fun enough to keep me coming back for me.
