You Heard Me. A Mixer.
See, I reckon a lotta ya’ll don’t have too many plans as to what and where, and most importantly, whom you are to be playing this fine game with on the 18th (21st for Europe), and I think that’s a cryin’ shame, I do. So I am postulatin’ here that us fine folk at the GB Gamin’ Hub can provide this service unto you, a service that will provide you with some fellow fine Giant Bomb folk to cavort and cajole with come the games' release.
Now, the way I see it, this can go down two ways. Firstly - one may formally display ones steam account right here, tell us where you’re from, what platform you're on, give a rough estimation of a time that’s good for you, and we’ll do the footwork in partnering you up with other duders. Keep an eye out for steam friend requests, as we’ll contact you on who to add through there. Come the games’ release, there will be an event on our steam group that will be the starting gun - buddy up with the people we’ve put you with and jump into the game. If it is convenient for your group that is - but we'll sort that all out for you.
And yes, players on consoles can sign up too, provided they have a steam account for us to contact them on.
Now, I posit a second mode to conduct this - because hey guys, this is the internet. The internet is pretty good for talking things through and stuff. If you’d like to simply party up in a less formal way, on the 18th (21st for Europe) we will be congregating in the Gaming Hub mumble server and the Gaming Hub chatroom as according to an event that will be posted on our steam group to awkwardly proposition each other for game-playin’ good times. We’ll make sure everyone gets sorted out nicely, so if you show up we’ll make sure that you’ll be playing some Borderlands with some friendly folks in no time.
Now, it is my sincere hope that with either of these methods you make a concerted effort to attempt to play through the entire game with these people. So when it’s all over, I hope each group will take the initiative and setup another time that their group can play.
So, anyway, I will list the names here and we'll hook you up in the near future. NA have until the 18th to sign up, EU has till the 21st (next Friday).
For time preference, please list as vaguely as possible so we're more likely to get you all together.
EDIT: Groups have been assigned and sent out for NA - but by all means, continue to sign up. We'll do our best to fit you in somewhere.
EDIT#2: We're contacting you through GB PMs. Keep an eye out!
EDIT#3: This list is no longer being updated,
as it was meant for organizing groups before launch. There are other threads to list your GT/PSN/Steam. There are always plenty of duders in the GB Hub however, so if you're looking for a game, inquire inside. Thanks for all who participated, hope you all had good times groupin' up!
