    I love playing Borderlands online, but can rarely find a good game/lobby.

    My steam account is: Rec0n85
    or email: [email protected]

    Feel free to add me, I'd be down for some co-op. Would also live to go through the portal 2 co-op with anyone. I keep telling my friends how awesome it is, but no one believes me hehe.

    borderlands online is the only way to play it. enemies are much harder, but they spew out more and more guns.

    ^^ Def BFBC2 is a fun game and worth the $20 price tag it has now. If on sale even better buy. If you like MMO's I play League of Legends, it is F2P and can become addicting.

    Change your download region (in Steam settings) to somewhere remote e.g. China or New Zealand, that usually works in getting better DL speeds.

    I have a decent few Co-Op games, Portal 2, LFD2, Magicka, and of course a decent bit of straight multiplayers, including Starcraft 2 (non steam).

    So add me if you want, name should be Tree_Burner

    We can try hamachi with Trine. It's worked for me with C&C Generals.

    Edit: Nevermind. I thought there was a LAN option with Trine, but it's only multiplayer on same PC. Why in the world wouldn't they at least implement LAN?
