I'm guessing it'll keep me busy for the next few months since I got the bundlepalooza from Amazon which includes 1, 2 and all DLC. Any suggestions before I start?

Game was a lot of fun when I played it on the 360 although I did never beat it. Tried getting into it on PC but the UI is horrible.

Find a friend to play it with. I thought it was REALLY boring playing solo, but had a lot of fun with my friend

On pc sniper was great fun.  Upgrade critical damage have fun.  If you hate sniper the Combat/Assault class will keep you alive with the special thrown out shield.

only problem with the sniper is if you upgrade Bloodwing he just ends up raping everything

don't go into another person's game despite the suggestions, Gearbox never fixed the bug that caused all the host's missions to copy on to your own save file, predominantly causing a stand still in the main story quest line if they were far beyond a certain point in the story.

Im actually thinking about starting Borderlands 1 too, is it related to BL2 as far as plot and story goes? or should I skip it and buy BL2?

Plot is definitely related, tons of characters from BL1 carry over to BL2. With that said, I don't think it's an absolute requirement to play BL1 since they are so similar. Both are really fun games though, either one (or both) are well worth your time if you enjoy ARPG's with lots of stuff to kill, loot to find, leveling up, and big open-ish worlds to explore.

Borderlands 1 was not a bad game. I remember absolutely loving it. Played it straight through to the end and wanted more. That is, of course, before I played BL2. 

 

If you want any tips on how to improve the graphics or add in a little color, this is what my game looks like.

I concur. I played with a friend which is the only thing that made it enjoyable and even then both of us burned out before finishing the game. 

 

It's just *very* repetitive and it is just not made for solo. Essentially it's like playing L4D solo...you don't do it.
