A big THANKS to the Borderlands dev team from a PC gamer!

I was talking about adding @Theoldman75 to that list. :dukecigar:

I’m 59, does that qualify me for an honorable mention somewhere? :duketease:

I hope I’m still gaming in my later years - I certainly have no plans to stop! And if you’re lucky you have more time to play the older you get. I have to laugh at the Blizzard devs when they say they’ve made the game more friendly to players with less time because they’re all older and now have jobs and families. But, what about the millions of players that were already in their late 20’s, thirties, and older when they started playing WoW? I was 48. At that age the kids are getting out of the house. The average age in the guild I was in at the time of The Burning Crusade Xpack (2006-2008) was in the low thirties. We had a semi-retired fireman member that was 75 at the time.

Anyhoo, big thumbs up @Theoldman75, you’re an inspiration to gamers everywhere! :dukeaffirmative:

Just read this post. Yeah it’s old, but it’s wrong, so I’m going to respond.

I never said “4000 hours on the forums”. I said over 4000 hours playing Borderlands. I actually have 2 Steam accounts and 2 entirely separate copies of Borderlands 2; according to Steam, these are the numbers for each account:

First account:

Borderlands: 287 hours

Borderlands 2: 3256 hours

Borderlands The Pre-Sequel: 352 hours

Second account:

Borderlands: no info

Borderlands 2: 756 hours

I did not buy a second copy of BL:TPS so there is nothing on this account.

So, yeah, when I wrote that I was pretty much just thinking Borderlands 2 alone, not including my time in the other games. You can see the total play time for BL2 is 4012 hours. Including the records Steam has for all Borderlands games I have 4651 hours playing all versions of Borderlands.

Bu that’s wrong, because Steam can’t have records for what I played of BL1 before the game got officially attached to it. My guesstimate is that my total play time for all of the Borderlands games is closer to 6000 hours. I played a lot of BL1.

As far as the numbers you’ve displayed for these forums - seriously, you are going to bash a long-time fan of Borderlands and Gearbox, question his integrity in public, with numbers from a forum that’s been up for months, a small part of the total time Gearbox has had Borderlands forums? I was an active participant, mostly a reader, and even though I didn’t post that often I think my post count was something like 3000. I have no idea how many hours actually spent on Borderlands forums, but one thing I know, it has been too many.

Mostly I was just kidding. Sorry if it was taken as serious.

Yup. Foot-in-mouth disease. Not you, me.

I went back and re-read it in an effort to find the humour - because, I admit, I can be a bit humour-challenged at times (aren’t we all?) - and picked up that it was about blut’s post. It still wasn’t funny, but it wasn’t about me. I apologize for my misunderstanding. As PH can confirm I do on occasion take things personally that aren’t about me per se.

It would have helped if you had posted as a reply to his post and/or quoted him. I mean, that’s what the new forum system is about, right? Helping people communicate better by using the tools it offers? :dukecheese:

CodingHorror did reply to Blut using the forums feature. You just cant tell. If you hit the reply button at the bottom of someone’s comment and you are the first comment following theirs, it will not show it visually that you are replying to their post specifically. Despite no indicator showing on the comment, blut did receive a notification about the reply to his comment.
Same goes for this comment of mine. I hit “reply” on your comment, but since i am the first comment following it, it dosnt show that its a reply to said comment.

Did any of that makes sense?

Of course there is always quoting. But i just wanted to make that first part clear.

Thanks Kitty :smile:

Some posts have a thing at the top right that tells people that the post is a reply to a specific post. Some don’t. I’ve always assumed that because the “Reply” button at the bottom of the page was used instead of the “Reply” button in the post being referred to.

Is this not the case? And if the notice is only there sometimes after the correct “Reply” button is used, why does it show up on some posts and not others? There is no sign of any post specifically referring to blutfatal’s post in his or CodingHorror’s.

Is it because posts made directly following the one being referred to aren’t labeled? That sort-of makes sense to me, but it does make it easier to misunderstand what someone is referring to later on. Maybe this could be changed?

It looks like a quote to me…

Hah! Trying to test my sense of humour again, are you? Well it won’t work! I’ve re-wired my brain so I can now recognize codinghorror’s horrible wit!

Take that! My [size=24]4000 hours[/size] trumps yours because it was first!

Well okay it would be better if I knew how the magical mumbo-jumbo of creating stuff on these forums worked, but, mark my words, one day I’ll figure it out, and then you’ll be so inundated by pictures with circles and arrows and paragraphs that your head will explode! Literally! Like, Tiny Tina explosion explode! [size=24]BOOM![/size]

Playing Borderlands 1 again after having rounded the two later installments. controls were obviously more primitive for the first game, and that really accentuated the smoothness and ease of the BL2 and Pre-Sequel system.

Both were no problem whatsoever, but the later games just had smoother reactions and much more flexible gameplay, I think.
