will i tease you console players
spent about 2.5 hours trying to setup borderlands just to play online with a buddy. the amount of arcane port forwarding settings changes we (and thousands of other pc players, juding by the gearbox forums) had to make, with way too much trial and error, to connect via the crappy gamespy client that gearbox chose to use, was just ridiculous. setting up pre-allied force falcon 4 or even free falcon for online play was never this tough.
with support like this, i say let pc games die, or become increasingly irrelevant.
ps- gearbox deserves to be shot for how shoddily they implemented the online setup for the pc version

For a moment I thought that this was going to be a drinking/hangover thread

Oh, so Gamespy is required for online play with Borderlands? I've played some other pc games that required a third party match-making service and I never had the kinds of problems you had.

You mean you actually tried to play a game?? I thought all we did around here is install/uninstall, setup, configure, mod, complain, mod some more, uninstall, reinstall, defrag, uninstall windows, reinstall windows, damn motherboard, reinstall windows, dammit I scratched the disk, ebay find another disk, $49 are you crazy??!, reinstall, dammit, that wasn't the problem, new RAM, Windows 7 woohoo!, what do you mean I can't delete that file?, I'll look it up on the internet, no internet connection tonight, Time Warner sucks, wait, reboot, corrupt registry? WTF!, reinstall, drink beer. Everything better. Porn requires no drivers. Woohoo!

Took me all of five minutes to forward the correct ports (listed in the manual) and get an online game playing, gamespy is integrated into the game so that's all good even if it could do with a few tweaks.
The only issue I can see being caused is if ports are not forwarded correctly or if a firewall is blocking traffic.
