i hate movies.

[ToonyMan]

luks good guy

Yeah, I saw the trailer for that movie, funny stuff.  It was the only bloody comedy trailer I saw in the theaters, the rest were "horror" AKA that thing is going to pop out at you with loud music junk.

Interesting news about L4D2, there's a campaign "Dark Carnival" set in a fairground with zombie clowns being revealed this weekend. But what's more important, the last Special Infected will be The Jockey, who jumps on a survivor's back and starts tearing him up. The twist is that while he's at it, he controls the Survivors movement. Should be rather hilarious in Versus.

There's no pictures of him yet, but I bet there will be a lot coming during the weekend from Penny Arcade Expo (PAX), where all this is going on.

[Jakkarra]

The Jockey sounds like the most destructive Infected yet, as long as they don't have any friends nearby.

I assume it's either a Dwarf or an actual Jockey then?

[Jreengus]

Sounds ripe for annoyances in versus. I expect most jockey will wait till the survivors are near a ledge then just drop them off.

[Nilocy]

Wow, now that is a cool special infected. I wonder if they'll be programmed to make the survivors run as far away as possible from the safehouse, or steer them into fun traps, like mud or something.

[Jakkarra]

i'm guessing they will either just force them to run around randomly, OOOOOR they will be made to go wherever PLAYERS usually go. (in versus i mean, people who play as jockey, and the Director Learns)

Wow, now that is a cool special infected. I wonder if they'll be programmed to make the survivors run as far away as possible from the safehouse, or steer them into fun traps, like mud or something.

Face the wall, so nothing to shoot at... or hide alone, like a bad teammate, where they can't help their allies at all.  Still taking damage over time.

Great in critical moments...

I wonder if its going to be total control of movement... or would the player be able to fight it, jerking off course or something.


EDIT: Hilarity ensues in a finale where 2 non-mic people are playing on advanced, when they had no business being in there in the first place.  They were the bait.  Keeping em alive was the hard part, but we did it.  Too bad one of the bait died... but we made it.

So, Valve has finally put a date on Crash Course, unsurprisingly, it's in the very end of the release month. Shacknews article

Also, Valve has announced that the L4D2 demo will available for pre-orderers in a bit more than a month at October 27th. Shacknews article Apparently non-orderers will have to wait a week longer.

Pretty exciting news.

The Boycott of L4D2 has officially ended, after the leaders of said boycott got to visit Valve and saw what they had in store. From DToid:

"The recently released Crash Course was just the start. Future updates will continue to roll in, and 4v4 matchmaking is first in line," writes boycott leader Agent of Chaos. "Valve has confirmed to us that it’ll be available before the release of L4D2. Also don’t forget, we have another DLC pack confirmed for sometime in the near future and of course, there will be bug fixes. This is as good as it can get people."

[Ioric Kittencuddler]

Wow... talk about good PR.

[Solarn]

So... anyone online now and up for a game? I'm Solarn87 on Steam.

[Megaman]

I wont buy L4D2. Ever. In my worthless life. EVER. Mostly because the original's AI director and expert mode together makes your hands become zombiefied already. *shiver*

[Nilocy]

Demo is awesome.

[LASD]

Demo is awesome.

It is, now that they finally got it out, after five delayings.

I just arrived from an expert game where we first lit the tank on fire and then hurled a boomer bile canister on him. We still took a heavy beating but managed to keep going. In the end I crawled to the safe room with 1 life left, no ammo, slicing zombies with the machete and barely evading a wandering witch right next to the safe room door.
