There is great news for you Left 4 Dead fans out there today and I can hardly contain my joy for all of you.

The Left 4 Dead 2 boycott has been a stunning success.  You may remember way back when fans first announced they would fight the oppressors at Valve and offered up a list of demands.  Valve went on to quell the fears and they insisted they would continue to support the original game.  The launch of the Crash Course DLC seems to have appeased the rising power of the boycott and they got wha…  More

I'll try to beat the haters to the joke, "wasn't the demo Left 4 Dead 1, ahuhuckhuck".  With that being said it is almost time to gear up for some new means of zombie destruction. 

Today at an EA press conference in Tokyo Valve's Kim Swift confirmed that a demo for Left 4 Dead 2 is on the way.  This should be awesome news for fans of the series and further haterade for those rallying against it, if they can even stick to their guns at this point.  The show will go on however, boycott or not, lea…  More

Remember all that *****ing and whining around the time of E3 over Left 4 Dead?  Remember when Valve was "abadoning" all the Left 4 Dead fans for the greener pastures of the sequel?  Remember how they promised DLC and wait... did deliver?

Yes a new campaign is coming from the crew at Valve for the original Left 4 Dead.  Crash Course is the name and Destructiod has an exclusive preview.  I doubt this will quell all the complainers as surely the next excuse will be "it's not enough", "we deserve mo…  More

Pills here!
Not much needs to be said about this one, and every L4D fan may relate to it. Surrounded by a horde, it's little wonder Louis and his clone need his painkillers.

"Quit your *****ing!" (Sorry, censors.)

Everyone's favorite video game journalist Adam Sessler discusses the amazing sense of entitlement that gamers seem to have with L4D and encourages us to give Valve the benefit of the doubt. Valve doesn't have a habit of screwing us over, so I don't see why we can't give them a chance.



"It's kind of juvenile," concludes Sessler, and he refers to the entitlement that Diablo fans with their sense of entitlement about t…  More

Many people were worried that Left 4 Dead was left for dead when the sequel to the game was announced just a few weeks ago. With over 30,000 complaining gamers in an ongoing campaign, Valve has been quick to step up to defend themselves and urged the anxious masses to have a little faith in them.

Today, they've made good on their word with the announcement of the full Left 4 Dead Authoring Tools, which they plan to release next week, in addition to new key features for the game that will undou…  More

Etsy designer SaltyandSweet has come up with mobiles for Valve's Left 4 Dead and Team Fortress 2.

You might be wondering, "What the hell's a mobile?" Well, not to be confused with mobile phones, mobiles are those hippie things like wind chimes that you hang beneath an archway or above a baby's crib. The artist says they aren't recommended for children, though -- but I'd argue otherwise*. Every child could use an introduction to Team Fortress 2 at a young age.

The character silhouettes are cut…  More

We're all used to little annoyances and setbacks every now and again, but some of these things happen often enough that they start to grow on you, like a bad rash, and you'll even find yourself missing them if and when they don't happen as you expect them to. Everyone needs an itch to scratch, right?

TheGr4yFox over at Deviant art has drawn up this awesome little piece of L4D meme-morabilia. Do I smell a new campaign once the SDK is released? Heck, even Valve would be crazy to not take up the challenge:

The much anticipated Survival Pack update for Left 4 Dead is finally out in the wild, and the new Survival mode will definitely keep you on your toes.  In addition to making Dead Air and Death Toll finally available to the majority as Versus maps, the new mode includes most all of the crescendo events from the normal campaigns, as well as one new map, The Last Stand.

The Last Stand features a small lighthouse with four confined rooms and a tower of sorts (complete with destructable railings, no l…  More

I was just cruising around the internet today and discovered a very neat little illustrated story entitled "The saddest bear of all" that both warmed my heart and put a smile on my face.

Credit for the pretty illustrations was given to an artist by the name of Minkee, whose website I decided to peruse, whereupon I made a discovery that I'm sure each and every one of you fans of Left 4 Dead would truly appreciate.



Be sure to drop the artist a line in the comments page for this illustration!…  More

Dear Zoey,

I write this letter with the purpose of sharing with you my thoughts on the feelings we have between us, and where things are going. Though I've tried to strike up conversation with you, you've turned me away somehow or another - citing threats of zombie hordes and other monstrosities - so I felt it best to apply myself to writing and bind my emotions to something more physical than whispers and spoken words.

As of late, you never ask me how I'm doing anymore. You opted to say "Whatev…  More

As if this wasn't an almost completely pointless blog entry. The biker dude GTA IV's Lost and The Damned DLC shares more than a profession with Left 4 Dead's Francis. He even resembles him to a startling degree.



What's missing? The vest.
