Indeed, to each his own. I can't remember exactly what I played in 2009/10 (YES I did check the dates, for your edification), but Borderlands was a real standout. Regardless of whether or not I was playing single or multi, I had a blast. I won't nit-pick your comment and suggest that you were really using some arbitrary "best" measurement in regards to its multiplayer, but I sincerely cannot remember a bad time I had while playing that game. Sure it wasn't the "best," but what really is? I have only ever had so much fun in a co-op online experience as when I played Diablo 2 back in the day. Was that the best? Hardly. But it was damn fun. Shame on me for liking something you didn't.

Maybe you should stop playing games and check a calendar...

Ahh yes, I'm very glad you pointed that out. This entire website might have ceased to exist had you not mentioned that. Bravo.
On an unrelated to the above but still related to gaming note, has anyone here tried Gemini Rue? If not, it's a super-cheap indie game, pretty much created single-handedly by this one dude. It's a totally faithful early/mid 90's point and click, if you're into that kind of thing. Video below will describe what I can't.
This idea might have come out before, but if anyone's interested, why don't we set up a book clubesque game club. You know, we all play a title for a few weeks or a month or whatever - old or new - and then have a conversation about it. A real conversation, full of thoughtful ideas. I know, it's about games so that probably isn't possible, but who's with me?
