While I'm personally a bit disappointed that L4D2 isn't going to be an expansion for the original, I wouldn't go quite so far as to shit myself about it. There are some truly awful, paper-thin arguments for boycotting the game being cited by that group. "Spoilt whiners" seems about right to me, though you could argue Valve made a rod for their own backs--what with the embarrassment of riches TF2 continues to be, and you being able to give away parts of The Orange Box you already own to other people. But, if we're still playing Left 4 Thumbs every Sunday by then and people want to move over to L4D2, of course I'll buy it. I do not object to giving talented people money for stuff I like.

Heathen.

I wanted to road test our new, gang-banging 4x4 properly--into a tree!

Yar, much hilarity this session. But then there's never been anything less than moderate mirth to date. :tup: I even impressed myself, bailing out of our flaming mob car and into the loving front wheels of the pursuing cops at approximately 60mph.

Coming to PS3, Xbox 360 and - rather surprisingly (for Capcom) - PC. GameSpot has the exclusive. Never played the original, but I'm sick of people raving about it. Thoughts?

I'm already making my arse ready for another severe kicking. The bruises have just about healed from last time, though none of you basts'll catch me on four wheels!

Only 65GB on my single HDD atm. Need to upgrade.

Unhappy at the unexpected and sudden announcement of Left 4 Dead 2 at this year's E3 as a standalone product, fans of the original game are mounting a boycott on Steam. Personally, I'm not thrilled about L4D2, particularly as Valve's spokesman at E3 seemed to be saying "we're releasing the L4D SDK soon, make your own updates" when pressed about support for the original. There was also much speculation about additional content before E3 - particularly a new campaign ending at the lighthouse, which appears in the new Survival mode - which has since fallen silent.

What is Left 4 Dead?

You're all massive bastids. :\

Oh... fucking Internet!

Wouldn't

Sorry, you're right: 100% accurate.

...although he did appear to be made out of a mixture of plasticine and raw beef burger.

Perhaps you could both buy me a second hard drive..?

This really got to me by the end, so much so I was gnawing on the arm rest of my chair. Surrounded by squalor and the pulverised detritus of modern civilisation, Connor's wife in particular has shiny, flowing red hair, Tipex-white teeth and a different, style-conscious pregnancy outfit in every scene. So fucking stupid! Speaking of which, The whole film was precariously too close to Bay Country throughout for my liking.

I was having some rather alarming performance issues yesterday, too. Having just switched to Windows 7 RC1 in the week, I hadn't thought to manually update the bundled Nvidia drivers to the latest "proper" feature release from Nvidia themselves. So I did this after we finished last night and, while the framerate is higher and smoother, it doesn't seem to be anything like as slick and detailed as it was on XP.

Terminator Salvation was disappointing, as I'm sure the Whole World (plus however many canine friends he has) knows by now. It had very little ambition to do anything with the whole Terminator story, other than the banal plot vehicle in dumps in front of you right at the start. It's wasn't horrible, but merely OK.

See? Clearly the hallmark of a class act.

Sorry, I posted in haste - and shame - whilst really bogged down at work. I know it should just be the ID. Yeah, right--like you don't sing your own echoes!

Thing is, his plebby persona is what's made him famous. But you can see hints of self-deprecation here and there, and he smirks at the stupid shit he comes out with quite often on camera. I couldn't stand him for years, but - and I can't believe I'm about to type this - watching Pimp My Ride UK it was clear he knows exactly what he's doing, how and why. And that he's deliberately (re)presentin(g) as a total knobhead. You may now ridicule me to the point I take my own life in shame. Time for a musical interlude, methinks: Pw8sNoodIDk
