o777777777777777.

I think pretty much anyone I know who owns a PC will be buying this game and their Grandmas but yeah, I am sure more than a few State games will come together.

And I think 30 pounds for a game is very reasonable, you should try owning a few consoles... then you will pay a premium for your games (I refuse to pay for games on release anymore, but that is different for the PC ofc). :P

Has anyone noticed that they have changed the Biker dude's face? This sadens me :< . I wanted to be the big hair smelly wind-swept brute, now I have to be a big angry handsome smelly brute.

Oh well least I get to shoot zombies.

Yeah, t'is really good, but trying to get a dedicated server between friends is really difficult 'cause of the demand.

Aye.

I did a quick test of a self-hosted server with Arq, and apparently he was getting some lag or desync or something when a lot was happening (i.e. while getting swarmed with zombies).

Which is not ideal.

There's been a patch today which has reportedly fixed a lot of the problems with the matchmaking server choices.

Yay.

We are getting a $2400 sofa for about $400 less than that, so I asked if it would be ok to get L4D. It is, yay!

It is totally funking sweet, but I can see myself getting bored of the demo quite quickly. Expert mode can be completed reasonably easily now as long as you don't have someone completely daft on your team who insists of shooting the vehicles and startling the witch (which makes things more interesting granted but also means you end up dying... allot). I know it will be more of a challenge to play through all five chapters of the map but I reckon an Epic mode will have to be modded if I were to have any long term interest. I could always try playing with my 360 pad, that could makes thinks more demanding!

Also a mate of mine has created a dedicated pub and he is getting around to making something more private. I think once it becomes easier to directly connect through the lobby system he wouldn't mind us bumming around on there when it isn't being used.

(Edit: I just realized playing on Expert through all 5 chapters in versus mode without the AI bosses could really be tough so maybe an epic mode won't be needed for quite some time yet. Might be worth creating a promode for clan games though.)

Yeah, I'm loving the demo so far - we were running around killing the witches in expert just for fun!
