18th most searched for term on the interweb today is 'left 4 dead demo'
Looks crap

They aren't zombies you spaaaaaaaaz
::rolleyes::

I'm buying a 360 :)
Somehow managed to find time for this just now. Wow! Really good. Lots and lots of zombies. They're quite fast too. The undead hordes seem to pose almost a secondary amount of threat to friendly fire though. It's almost more a game about not shooting things... which makes a nice change :)
They're not zombies.
ffs.
Oh. They are. They really really are.
In so much as vampires and werewolves are too :)
I don't think traditional Simon-Pegg approved slow zombies would make as much sense in this context.
Seriously... suprised DB hadn't got on board with this. Surely your PC could handle it? It's only HL2 level tech...
This could be the first game in Deadalfs history that could be played by everyone... DNM???

Well, the only reason I'm being a dreadful pedant here, apart from the fact that I'm a total nob, is that, like 28 Days later, these critters are alive, and infected with a 'Rage' style virus. Fast or not, zombies are always dead.
Yes, I'm tempted by this, zombies or not.

It reminds me of the very best AvP sessions.
Don't go into the dark.
Stay in the light.
Etc.
The swarm effects are very Alien-esque - a mod swapping the Zombies/Undead/Plague-infected for Alien models would be most welcome :)

Wow...that'd rule. It'd last about a day though, and then it'd get 'Foxed' :(
What do they have the (c) on - beasties with conical heads, 4 pipes on their backs etc?
Call them "demons", give them 6 tubes on their back.
Fox can SMB.

I can see a Dear John letter going to The Asgards if this game is as great as I'm guessing

With the demo been made public today, there was some confusion over what time it was to be actually available.
The following link was posted in the forums to try and explain things:

Heh, sounds about right ;)
Due to unforseen circumstances I won't be able to do any gaming this week :(
No worries matey. Was feeling a bit bad about the peer-pressure...
Full game next week, so we should have a greater sense of achievement when we all die horribly after walking through the second door right by the spawn point :)
/excited
ps. will still be about tomoz if anyone else is up for it. Let me know if you need or want TS2 details :)

I don't have anything else on ... Except fallout 3 of course :)
Watched the first 15 minutes of it on video. It looked like shooting fish in a barrel, with infected people as the fish. I couldn't really see any need for the other 3 people, as one guy seemed quite able to scythe through the enemy with his uber-shotgun, and the A.I. seemed non-existent. Maybe it gets better when the big bosses come in?
Are people still hooking up with this tonight? Let me know details...
I'll be there between 8-9pm.
Ts2.
Lobby for Expert game.
Much cowering and trembling and "ouch... is that my blood on her face?".
Rah :)

Was going to try and say something about Alfcons and fair notice and "hey, at least you weren't sitting there like a carrot waiting for me".
Then thought... meh, the irony will be lost under a tedious flow of "yeah but FALLOUT THREEE!!!!".
Looking fwd to next week (or whenever) when the triumvirate of reliability can bash some zombies and have a laugh :D

Sorry for being so massively lame.
Check out the schedule I'm working to at the moment though:
Saturday - Fallout 3 - all day. Might get interrupted by the need to go out and get p**sed tomorrow night though. Depends how p**sed I get tonight lol.
Sunday - Gears of War 2 all day. Co-op.
So so busy...

Thats fine mate, but if you're not going to attend an event, of any description, that others may be expecting you at, its sort of polite to let them know if nothing else. Ebow may have had other things to do I think is the point.
You have an iPhone, you have f**k all excuse.

Hmmm. s**tload of game files in my left4dead in /Steam, but the Games list still show it as "Pre-load starting..." and 0%.
Silly.

Coolio. Any nights good for me next week after 9pm. Or at 8pm with notice :D
Looks I'm on for Thursday boys.
Cool!
Will be able to do Thursday.

Excellente!
As the game proper is released then, perhaps find a slightly less insane difficulty level so we can have some enjoyment and sense of achievement, and maybe get a level done?
Maybe :)

Sounds good. I wasn't able to even look at the demo (have deleted it now) so I have no idea what to expect. I'll be the guy who awakes from a coma 28 days later....
Yep, up for that! As good as the demo was, I`m eager to see more of the levels.
If we find it easy going, we can vote in game to increase the difficulty on the fly, no probs.

FFS been patching LOTRO since 6.45pm. Ho hum :) A load of non-Moria specific updates in the Moria patch though, so looking fwd to that.
There was a small break while I tried not to be very scared of some not-zombies in a wood. Failed.
Is it Thursday yet? :)

Wow, lots of veeeery happy people in LOTRO this morning.
Have to say am more excited about Moria than L4D.
That may make me a twee little hobbit lover...
Hopefully my Play-ordered copy will arrive today, or I'll have to go into work tomorrow to pick it up. Schoolboy error :)

Stop it damn you. You are in danger of creating an excitement bubble of Bobish proportions
Did succumb to a quick glance.
Will meet you on the roof of the apartments later tonight. :)
