Woo, so fun, playing as the infected is really tricky, but so enjoyable when you get away with something nasty (I love jumping on Zoey as a hunter, mmmm, yeah). Playing the Tank is awesome. =)
The versus mode really makes it alot more intense, you always need to be ready for an attack.
Still having some server probs though, kinda hard to find good ones with friends.

Shambler yeah I think you need to friend people before you can talk to them. 

You can't just stick your dick in everything. It doesn't work like this... 

The demo level was kind of fun, but $50? I don't thinks so. 

There is apparently a deal where if you buy 4 copies of L4D you get the 4th one for free. So that's 4 for $150.00 or so. Which turns out to be... $34.00 or so? Something like that. 

[nt] 

Whatever, rough day. $38 or something. I give up. 

Also, your friends list is integrated into L4D, so you can instantly join a game your friend is playing without any searching for servers or messing with IP's etc. You can also make a friends only game that only people in your friends list can join. 

when I was on steam it told me every time that scampie was playing TeamFortress 2 (roost)
i think he was my only freind. I killed a few random people on HLDM and HL2DM, and that was it... 

or...

3a) Save the sheriff when the guy tries to kill him. 

I tried that but I wasn't quick enough
Then the guy left the bar and dissappeared.
The sherrifs son gave me the house key when I defused the bomb! And really acted as though he had lost his father, and inheritted everything...!

Fantastic! 

If you're not in it, but want to be, just post your Steam ID and ask to be added. Most of the members can add you. 

is SleepwalkR, please add me! 

Tried and failed to add you to func. Someone with skillz will have to do it.

Add me as well. Still playing through the campaigns without a completed achievement so far, but managed to get Dead Stop.

crate-stacking puzzle game 

I got up to level 19 pretty quickly, but then got sort of bored...it was getting fussy. 

Anyone played it? 

a few pages ago. 

This mod is remaking the entire Half-Life game in the source engine and bringing everything up to date. They just released a trailer on their website and I was very impressed, very professional quality stuff.

nice find! 

Undeniably impressive. 

Wow, amazing work! New voices, animations, etc. Just awesome! 

Does anyone know much about it ? Here

is the only news i've read. It'd be great to see valve do it, but they're a more practical (ie dollar) company than id... and i dunno if it's likely. 

Yes, it is bullshit. The files are for the Steam server on Linux and it's nothing new nor exciting. Phoronix is the The Register of the linux world.
