This news comes via Big Download, who point out that "purchasing Gearbox Software's FPS-RPG hybrid via Steam nets the user a code for the Duke Nukem Forever First Access Club web site", the 'site', however, is only populated with Duke wallpapers at the moment. Still, this is good news for early Borderlands adopters worried they'd be left out in the cold.
Brisbane-based readers can, of course, get hands-on with the game early anyway, as Mana Bar are holding a special Duke Nukem Forever event in just two days; October 16. If you head down, be sure to drop a line after with your thoughts.

Also: Game of the Year *edition, not addition!
Unless of course only owners of an awesome new maths-centric Borderlands game and patrons of a gay bar are going to be able to play the DNF demo?

The "Raven Software Layoffs" report has an extra "though" in it, in "First Details on DoTA Developer's Valve Software Project Expected Tomorrow" "recently" should just say recent, and in "Valve Announces DOTA 2" cartoony has been spelled "cartonny"... Can I have a job as editor now?

I ask because I prefer the Steam integration and I've read the retail version is not full integrated. I've been burnt in the past by BF:BC2, which had no Steam at all.

I don't care for achievements. My main concern is the Steam friends list and the ability to join a friend already in a game. Wasn't able to do that with BF:BC2 retail and Steam :(

Actually you can manually add any game to Steam which allows you to use the Steam overlay (shift+enter) while you play. And your Friends will also be able to see what you're playing, even if it's a non-Steam game.
I enjoy adding non-games like Word so my Friends can see when I'm word processing. Although I'm still waiting for the real-time co-op version.

I dont think bc2/borderlands on steam even have this feature as thats something thats part of steamworks afaik (niether title has this ). So im pretty sure you not missing out on anything,

Yeah, I'm aware of the ability to add non-Steam games. Sadly, you can't join a friend, who's already playing, if your version of the game is non-Steam.
I did some further research and it seems that Borderlands uses Gamespy in-game for connectivity, anyway. So no Steam integration is not a biggie.
