A few performance tweaks, I think, but nothing major.

I remember some custom maps for Borderlands 1. You had to install the custom Oasis hub to get to them. Most of them were unfinished or had some problems with optimalization.
There was a great fast travel mod for moving through the DLC's locations. Unlike in the base game, you had to travel or drive through the whole maps to the destination. This mod saved me a lot of time. After this, Craw farm map, plus my favourite mod for farming - Fifth Column. Plus there are of course custom weapons and shields/mods for all of the characters. Most of them were just one shot killers but you could find something interesting if you really wanted to.

Here is the link to all maps.

Humble Weekly Bundle: Eye Candy 3

$1
Tengami
Where Is My Heart?
Back to Bed

BTA (currently ~$3)
7 Grand Steps: What Ancients Begat
Deep Under the Sky
Valdis Story: Abyssal City

BTA + $1
The Dream Machine: Chapters 1-5

Pretty good one, I think. Valdis Story (which is supposed to be a decent Metroidvania) alone is below its lowest past price, and there was high praise for The Dream Machine's music and art direction in the Adventure Gaming forum a while back. Some of the others look interesting, too.

To add, only The Dream Machine is limited to Steam, all the others are available as DRM-free downloads from Humble Bundle.

Boringlands. Its for the crowd that likes to grind. It got level scaling too.

Its a +1 to Steam library, nothing more.

Something being fun in multiplayer is not really a selling point for a game, though. Everything can be fun if you do it with your friends.

Where were you guys before I made the purchase? Oh well... $6 is a fine price for me to discover the problems on my own.

Finding some coop buddy is the first thing you should do. After some time people will join you and then Borderlands will be the perfect timesink for you. Only 4 players online will give you maximum item drops and fun factor. I would play with you, but the timezones are too deadly too me, and I've already sink 500h or more in it with all items in my belonging. Never played any MMO but it was a great experience for me. Lots of solid groups that I've been in, talking and killing in-between. Borderlands 2 lacks a proper itemization and it's too easy to die even if you have high level. You probably will spend more time laying down waiting for help from others than enjoying it. I finished base game and never looked on the DLC pack, it was just too much for me.

New weekly bundle at Humble Bundle, consisting of kickstarted games.

Pay what you want tier:
- Guns of Icarus
- AR-K
- Full Bore

Beat the Average tier:
- Among the Sleep
- Retro Game Crunch

13$ tier:
- Lords of Xulima
- Warmachine Tactics

Are any of the lower tier games worth it? I already own LoX and am mildly interested in Warmachine, but not sure if it's worth the 13 bucks.

Aight men, lay it on me. Lords of Xulima has been $10 before, and I think there's a good chance it'll go to 7 or 5 this winter.

With that said, do you think the other games combined are worth $8?

Lords of Xulima is currently on sale on GoG. You can buy it cheaper than $13 (it's 8.29 Euros in Poland) and it's the Deluxe edition with some extra stuffies.

For anyone else who's been holding off on picking up Moebius, it's confirmed to be in the Groupees Be Mine 21 bundle, which you can preorder for US $2.50 - a third of its lowest past sale price. Usually Be Mines are split into $1 and $4 tiers once they go live, and I'm guessing that Moebius will be in the $4 tier.

(Kingdom Wars 2 and Clandestinity of Elsie are also confirmed to be in.)

Full Bore is a decent puzzle game, but nothing outstanding. It's enjoyable enough to be worth installing if you do pick up the bundle, but it's not worth picking it up for on its own.

I haven't played Guns of Icarus Online or AR-K, but they get bundled fairly often. For what it's worth, I've heard that GoI's playerbase has dwindled to the point that you can expect to have to wait quite a while on the matchmaking screen (though I expect that being in a Humble Bundle will help with that for a while).

sexbad wrote a little about Among the Sleep here; sounds like good atmosphere and environments wasted on weak gameplay.

Don't know about Retro Game Crunch.

Yeah, I need to know whether Warmachine Tactics is worth $13 too (Steam says its base price is $39 so it would take a 66% discount and only if you aren't interested in LoX as well)

GoI seems to be bundled for the umpteenth time here just to sell their new DLC. You get a 33% off coupon for that one, and base price is $19.99.
