    Hey guys. I am pushing the envelope on my LP videos and moving into Co-Op territory.

    My largest project yet is my newest one Borderlands. I picked up the DLC during the Steam Summer event and formed a party to play the game with.

    We are a full 4 person party and we plan to get on and play every Friday for about 2 hours. So that gives me enough content to give you 1 or 2 videos a day throughout the week.

    One of the members is our very own Deagleson here form NBR! (and of course me so thats 2/4) The other 2 members one is Jenna a follow YouTube LP caster I met and teamed up with, and Jeff a friend of hers that she introduced to me.

    Check out the playlist for a easy way to see all the videos in the series: ‪Let's Play Borderlands 4 Player Co-Op‬‏ - YouTube

    Here is the first video just to get you all teased and wanting more :D

    Subscribe to get updates when new videos are out, thumbs up to say thanks, comment to give feedback.

    Most of all ENJOY!

    P.S. I bought the Magicka DLC during the sale as well so I would like to do a series on that just like this one. If your interested let me know. Must have a mic of good quality and be willing to meet up at a regular time to play and get on my Mumble server for conversation during recording.

    Incredibly Jealous, as usual.

    Wish we had 2 other people to play borderlands with us. I prefer local co-op though, as it's easier to diagnose networking issues and remove internet speeds/latency completely from the equation.

    Anyone in upstate NY up for a bi-weekly lan party? :p

    I'm up for 4 coop Borderlands, I'm in NJ/Manhattan area, so if we keep it in our area, it shouldn't be so laggy :p As for my mic quality, I'm going to be getting a new headset when i get a laptop, which is in the timeframe of now and mid-August if you want to do a LP. If you want to do just co-op that's fine too :D

    Also bought Magicka + All the extra DLC when i saw the sale. :3

    But if you guys want to play Borderlands, its best to just skip GameSpy and use GameRanger.
    It tunnels a LAN game over the net and feature friend list, lobbies ect.
    Even does Terraria now too.

    I am so angry at Magicka. Can't even get past CH 11 because the game crashes to desktop. Indefinitely :(.

    Nice videos, I like co-op let's plays, it more fun to hear the banter between people than just one person.

    I look like a terrible FPS player in the YouTube series. D:
    But do note that since im from Norway im geting a lot of network lag because of the distance.
    ViciousXUSMC did a pingtest to a server near me and he was at 150ms.
    Hopefully next session will be better if we ditch the horrid GameSpy.
    (GameRanger has native support for Borderlands.)

    Yeah 160ms it was and that should be pretty manageable for borderlands. Under 100 is great for those fast paced fps but borderlands is not nearly as demanding and you have full auto weapons :D

    Been looking forward to this weeks game all week so hope everybody is on time and we have no issues getting things going.

    I have had the kids all week non stop and cramming for a certification course I am worn out! Luckly I should be able to rest up some before the game since it starts at Midnight for me and I will grab a couple of energy drinks or something.

    Did a shoutout for Borderlands Coop on Raptr.
    Hopefully you got even more views from that.

    I never find any good rifles, all of them has some sort of scope attached.
    I did find a overpowered revolver and a high dmg sniper rifle so this friday we gonna slaughter skags with ease.
