Direct2Drive apparently only allows 3 downloads (with a new OS coming out, that's a terrible idea, not to mention just a terrible idea) - also, it's run by IGN.
Just saying. IGN.
You stay classy IGN...No different from that TV commercial where there's a fake News Desk 'reporting' on the mortgage crisis, and offering up douchebagloanmodifier.com as the solution. I think people who do deceptive advertising like this should be deported. Caveat Emptor indeed. Not if I'm President. |

I don't find "fake news desk" to be that horrible, it's an obvious gag due to timeslots and how TV works. I do however mind when news channels run "field reports" that are by a PR flak pretending to be a journalist for the network that winds up being a fluff piece on whatever the company wanted. Fucking horrible practice. |

In the Steam forums they're clear to say that those are specs for the base ut3 engine, not necessarily for Borderlands. Just seems like they're hiding something, not releasing them yet. Where's my tinfoil hat?

Really, who cares? It's not like spec recommendations have a history of being accurate, anyway. The game runs on consoles, so it's not like the pc version is going to be some crysis style nightmare where you won't be able to run it on reasonable settings for the next half decade.

It is really obnoxious that they haven't come out and released specs though, since its ut3 and a console game we can pretty much give a good guess but that doesn't excuse the fact that they should have come out and stated them on record months ago.

This is becoming fairly common. There's a lot of games that don't officially release specs, they either get "leaked" by a review or boxshots from retail employees who have street dated copies.

I'm about 98% 100% sure I'm in for this. How do you want to handle payment?
Just cancelled Amazon preorder for this, so I'm in. (and no worries if it doesn't work out - can always put the preorder back on at amazon)

I mind, you hooker, $33.75 is a steal, I would totally do it. |

A couple people have PM'd me. You don't need paypal. We'll just do it through the f13 donations buttons. If you're getting me the money via paypal it'll actually be a tiny bit more because they save a bit off the top. It'll be like $35.50 or something. If you're still cool with that, I'll poke a few of you by PM today.

I was going to spend a Best Buy gift card on this but if there's a threesome that needs a fourth I'd be down with that.

I'm assuming that means we'd have to coordinate payment outside of F13, correct?

The funds, I mean. The $135 payment to steam has to come from one person I'm assuming. That leaves four of us coordinating money transactions between each other and not from the donation button.
I'm honestly not trying to be obtuse, but I'd rather not hand off $35 to someone that has no vested interest in keeping a good name for themselves. It's the tinfoil hat talking again.

Gotcha. I'll see what shakes out over the next few days when folks get back into the office.

My guys saw this also and went apeshit. We're working on our 4th 4 pack. If we have any leftover spots in one I'll let you cats know.

Also interested in this. I'd need my one gifted as well. Caveat longstanding member, etc. I'd coordinate a 4-pack myself but they're not offering this deal directly to Oztrayans. edit - oh wait, they are now.  hm.. I'd coordinate one, but you'd have to take into account 5% paypal fees, plus money changing fees from US$->AU$ for PayPal, then AU$->US$ again when I paid Steam. Simpler all around for me to go in with others, methinks. |

Loot. Do you see? *click* Numbers. Do you see? *click* Mutant Holocaust. Do you see? *click* Loot. Do you see? *click* Post-Apocalyptic Type Planet. Do you see? *click* Guns that burst fire bullets that in turn burst in to flame. Do you see? *click*  Edit: Felt the need to explain it for those who were wondering. |

Normally I like buying games on Steam, but for whatever reason I want to pick up a physical copy of this one.

I would if it were a collector's edition with a nice box that'll actually last.

They do know that when you have a gun there's no pressing need to close distance on your target, right? It's like they're trying to add a little extra oomph to the forward velocity of all their bullets or something. My favorite was when the player ran into melee range and then turned on the sniper scope just to be extra sure of getting those headshots. Do love the damage numbers though. |
