Arrested Development reference.
"There's always money in the news stand!"
Or something to that effect. Made me lol when I heard it.

That's happened plenty of times in this thread...
You didn't notice that golden chest and the key symbol on the pop-up before opening it?

As a level 12 Gunzerker who just 6 shot a boss in a 4 player game with ~1400 damage rocket launchers, I'm going to have to disagree
Haha! From now on - I shall be known as the pimp of pandora.
Ok - so even weirder - I logged back on to play and the number of keys I had went from 45 to 75. This is just getting ridiculous ( in a good way)

So I'm not even done with BL1 and the DLC (got them with Plus) but I'm seriously considering getting this since I'm totally hooked on the franchise. Without preordering I just miss out on a golden key and some golden guns, right? I won't miss the Mechromancer, will I?
Nope. I'm a rabid looter. I run up and mash the loot button to open all chests around me then start pilfering. Totally my fault, but damn.

Is there some switch I have to hit to make Midgemong appear? My objective simply says to kill him and there's a diamond on my map but there's not a single enemy around.
Edit: Never mind, missed a ladder.

there's no top or bottom level to that area?
I had a Game of Thrones reference. Guard at Sanctuary said "Winter is coming" as I passed him.

Climb as high as you can and look for a door you can open. He's inside.
Personally, I like gunzerking. I thought it was kinda lame at first too. But then you realize you get: free full health, damage reduction, and fast regenerating ammo for 20 seconds! I use it more as a utility skill or when an enemy sneaks up on me and melees me to low health.
I haven't had to buy ammo once. I can't imagine doing some of the longer story missions without it. I'd be out of ammo every 2 seconds running back to the machine.

He wasn't alone.
Is their any reason to save up badass tokens or should I just spend them as I get em?

Man, the Siren starts off slow, skill-tree wise. End-game Siren is going to be a beast, though. I think I'll drop the support act and go all offense.
Just spend them right away for stat boosts.
Oh, and random tidbit: this was my 3000th post.

Is there any objective way of doing loot for co-op rather than "whoever clicks first wins?"

Anyone done 'Too close for missiles' yet? HALP!
I can't light the volleyball net on fire inside that compound. I have a few different fire weapons and nothing seems to do the trick.

When it comes to gaming, boredom and hate are the same thing.
Gaming's one and only purpose is to be fun AKA the exact opposite of boring.
Did you douse it with gasoline (pressed E right next to it) first?

You will have to pay 10$ for necro if you want her. Also your not missing much on golden guns. They just help you plow through the first 30-45 mins. Plus you can find better guns than in the chest. Your really not missing much cept for necro which you can get on release for 10$

Well, there are essentially an infinite amount of them so spend away!
It has to have an instant ignite. Try a fire SMG or a sniper.
Damn. She's not in the Season Pass is she? I was probably going to get that as well.
Still bitter that I forgot to pre-order and will miss getting her for free
On the bright side, I did get the game for $38 so I suppose I shouldn't complain.

Initiate a duel with the player and put up the weapon in question. Whoever wins keeps the weapon.

Yep did all that it just won't light up.
Cool, I'll try the next one I pick up.

This is how not to do a spoiler.
You could do it better, such as *story spoiler 8 hours in* In regards to the Sancuary,
after it is in the air
When you have an immediate spoiler or and then a somewhat general question, people could click it having read your general question and in trying to help answer something that is sort of vaguely asked, could spoil their story. I'm much farther than you so it hasn't caught me off guard but, c'mon, a little but of effort goes a long way.

At a high level, since the equipment in there will scale with your level.
And the choices of upgrades you get to pick from are always random too, so you can't spec out a certain way.
Level 24 Zero now. I'm really enjoying the writing, and the boss fights are fantastic. I had to switch out of the melee tree and into Cunning, though. I'll try it again when I can spec all the way down to the bottom, but one super-charged melee attack every so often just isn't competitive when I can exit Deception by applying a shotgun to the face.
For people who do like melee builds, though - you should be doing these weird crime-solving quests in Sanctuary. There are two that I've seen so far. The first gave a unique revolver with +100% melee damage. The second gave a unique shield which gives life-steal on melee attacks if the revolver from the other quest is equipped.

Happened to me.
1. The chest isn't gold-colored. More pale yellow/white. Wasn't even shiny!
2. This is Borderlands. If you see a chest you open it!
I'm level 11 now, but the level 3 orange pistol I found still beats all the purples thrown my way.

Last night was my first experience with a borderlands game. I haven't even read up on it other than I wanted to play a melee zer0. I got to level 6 and it wasn't really my thing.
This morning I started up Maya and I'm loving her. She's more to my play style I guess. I really like her special ability. I think I'm going to level everyone up to 10 or so then make my final decision but I think I'll end up sticking with maya.

Zero is a pleasant mix of the Infiltrator and Vanguard classes from Mass Effect. You can cloak and snipe but you can also deal out a huge amount of damage up close and personal.
I still can't get enough of going stealth, rushing in, and blasting dudes point blank with a shotty.
I've been soloing it and it's fine.

You can get a second by signing up for Gearbox Shift in game.
Actually yeah, thats probably the best way to do it. Grab whats in front of you asap and then just ask if anyone needs *insert item name here*.

Yu-Gi-Oh as well. Zero said something along the lines of "You've activated my trap card" when I used his special ability.
Needless to say I was delighted.

You guys build a shield or gun with your AI core? (for those who completed that side quest)
I wish I could have seen my options, but went with a shield because most of them suck while guns are a dime a dozen and could have been a gun type I'm not building up for. Shield is pretty great.
Also, game is just amazing. Boss fights have all been fantastic.

There's also a challenge called game of thorns. Think it involves killing people with shield blasts.
what's the shield do?
the gun
is annoying as fuck. AI talks even when you don't have the gun out.. basically non stop. the gun is pretty good but I can't get past the AI talking all the time. even talks over quest dialogue...
Lighting bolt action.
Stealth to get distance between you and large enemy groups, or to score a high damage critical/melee attack. Its really situational. He has some really nice sniper skills, but depending on how you set skill points, you can constantly mow through enemies.
I'm still only level 13 and just specing towards guns but so far it's been my "Oh shit, gotta bail" button
