The lights are on
I mentioned in my print review of Borderlands that I'd be offering a rare achievement and some nice weapons to our readers, so here's the info. Send me an Xbox Live friend request at ExileOnMassSt with "GI Borderlands" in the message, and I'll begin sending game invites to readers starting at 10pm CST on Sunday, November 22nd (I cleared room for about 24 people, so if you don't get added that means it's filled up). I'll be online until midnight at least, and I'll keep rotating participants every 30 minutes. Immediately upon joining the game, you'll receive the "...And They'll Tell Two Friends" achievement for playing with someone that has played with an employee of Gearbox. In addition, I'll be giving out plenty of free loot and weapons. This will be on a fairly high level playthrough, so bring your best character if you're interested. See you in Pandora!
Email the author Dan Ryckert, or follow on Twitter, Google+, Facebook, and Game Informer.
Nice Dan, just added you via Xbox.com. I had to send you a separate message from the actual friend request. Hope you see you then.
I already got the achievement. I think I joined a game with a gearbox employee and they booted me right after, because that's what happened. Anywho, free weapons, I'm in!
why did they make such a hard achievement to get?
if i owned the 360 copie i would sign up,it sounds realy cool.
and even better than the trophy is you get to play with a game informer editor.
BUMMER. I totally am one of the 1st to see this too... I will be driving with my friend from Georgia to Iowa, and won't be around a 360 w/ Live on Sunday... FuryOfTheFro if you want to, out of the kindness of your heart ;) send me an invite some OTHER time :D
Seriously though, this is awesome that you'd do this. Kudos.
Sadly I do not have borderlands. Suppose I'm missing out on a big deal. =[
Blarg! I'd love to play with ya, but alas, I'm a PC Borderlander.
Already got the achievement but alwaysdown for free loot.
Nice, curse my PS3!
Already got it so it doesn't matter but the free guns would be good i guess as long as they're level 48-50.
This story is also called "See How Bad Dan is at Borderlands."
GAAHHHH!!!! I DONT HAVE BORDERLANDS BECAUSE I DONT HAVE ANY CASH BECAUSE IM GOING TO COLLEGE THIS SPRING!!!
We'll I just ask anyone who has the acheivement then....D
cool, too bad i don't have Boarderlands...
Well Dan hit 50 Reiner, he can't suck that much y'know.
How many Gs is it?
Sick! I'm in.
I plan on being there. Should be fun.
A big middle finger to the PS3 owners of this game. Thanks...
As I am looking forward to mooching the sh*t outa some sweet weapons I just have one question, what is there to stop all the freakin jewbags (pardon my French) from spaming the X button over top of all the fresh weaponry before I can even look at them? Seriously! All I saw was a yellow flash of what appeared to be the most bada** sniper ever, followed quickly by the realization that I would never get a chance to witness said awesomeness because the jackass has no mic... Obviously this has never happened to me via XBL and if it had I certainly would never whine and b*tch about it to the masses, I'm just saying. I guess if all else fails I'll just attempt to BFF exile's entire friends list.... thats what 25 year olds do right?
Is one of the staff playing the ps3 willing to help us with our trophy?
