Borderlands Steam Sunday Run!

Progress is prolly going to be pretty slow. It will take us ages to finish the game, if at all. But it's more about the 4P co-op fun, raising hell as a group and warming up for Borderlands 2.

I'm going to update this thread after each session with the group's current level. People interested in tagging along should try to have/keep a character very close to the group's level. It should be pretty easy to catch up since, like I said before, the group's progress will be pretty slow.

Current level is 4.

I'd be up for some L4D 1 and 2 or some co-op Portal 2. Depends though, i may not be able to make it every sunday night but hey, sounds like fun

I usually work on Sundays, but I'd be up for some L4D2 or Portal 2 when I'm around.

I'd propose the starting time of 20:00 GMT, 3:00PM EST, 12:00AM PST, with cross region fun in mind.

I think you mean 12:00 PM PST

Yeah I'd be up for some, I think, that would be 2pm my time which is CST just about the perfect time of back home from church.

I realized this mustn't be a Retroids group exclusive thing, many podcasts on the network got their own Steam group and we could totally hand Steam Sundays around like a filthy whore. Kinda like Steam Sundays hosted by GameCrashers, by InDis, by Retroids, etc.

I tried, man. I tried

[hedges1001]

i'd be up for some killing floor if thats on the table

[fergus1001]

battlefield 3 counter strike team fortress count me in

[Ross]

+1 for Killing Floor.

I've also got Battlefield 3, but I've barely played it because Origin is a steaming pile of crap.

Count me in! Be warned, I'm a complete noob of Steam multiplayer gaming, but I'd love to try some L4D2 action (my current fave). Look for "Evil" in the Retroids Steam group (ID kenmstrs). Feel free to add me! Since I can actually afford the occasional Steam sale purchase, it's easier for me to hang with Steam gamers than console gamers. In that regard, is Killing Floor a good game? Sounds like a couple of you have it. I almost picked it up during the last sale. What are some other good, inexpensive, multiplayer titles on Steam?

On a side note, I'm in the process of beefing up our Retroids Gaming Network forums, so be on the lookout for a Steam section where we can organize our gaming days/nights!

I'll do my best to jump online this weekend for a while.

Great to see so much interest. Plankfan was kind enough to make me Retroids group admin, I'll schedule a group event for tomorrow. Let's gather in the shoutbox and we'll take it from there.

I'm a m/kb noob myself, so you're in good company. Team Fortress 2 is free to play, Alien Swarm too. Magicka seems to be a hoot and a bunch of Retroids already own that one.
