Did Gearbox make a game specifically for me?  Probably not, but I've been searching for a game like Borderlands for years.  
 
Sorry, Hellgate: London... you came close, but just did not cut it.
 
In an attempt to create a new blog post weekly, I've decided to continue my trend of talking about what I've been playing... and what I've been playing is alot of Borderlands.
 
An unreasonable amount of Borderlands given that I have unfinished (and unopened) games on my shelf that desperately need attention and the new release of Final Fantasy XIII and God of War 3 are just begging for my hard-earned cash.  And somehow I have to still show up for raids against the nefarious Lich King.
 
And yet, I picked up Borderlands on the PC (along with all the DLC) through Steam.  Damn Steam for making it all just so easy.  
 
A friend of mine online was chatting about the newest DLC released for the game, General Knoxx's Armory, and how there's like a raid boss, all kinds of new quests, 11 new levels, a whole new tier of fancy cyan-colored weapons, and literally as he is talking about all these new features I'm purchasing the entire game off Steam in preparation for a weekend of playing it with him and the rest of the guys online.
 
And we definitely did.  But I've also started playing Borderlands on my 360 again.  My main reason for that?  Achievements mostly.
 
So the draw on the PC is that my friends are on there and 4-player Borderlands is beyond fun (Kudos to Gearbox for actively ramping up the difficultly, i.e. spawning more enemies, as more players join).  The draw on the 360 is my (probably futile) attempt to complete all of the available DLC solo.
 
I am playing a Siren though so I have a good chance of achieving at least the single-player goal right?... right? >.>;;
 
As an aside, has anybody else bought essentially two (or more) copies of a game to play it on multiple platforms?  I just wanna gauge where I fall on Crazy Gamer scale this week.

I bought Marvel: Ultimate Alliance for my PSP first then my 360, because I wanted achievements and it was free after buying two Christmas presents for my family.

I have both PC and 360 versions of Borderlands, as my initial plans to play with a friend on XBL fell through, and more of my friends are into the PC gaming scene.
