Left 4 Dead ate my pancakes.

This game ROCKS. I have to admit, on Normal, i was able to blast though it in two evenings of play (long evenings, mind), and I'm not a very good FPS
gamer.
So.
However, my friends tell me that the multiplayer is 'where it's at', and i should get on the coop servers or vs. servers. We'll try that.
VERY VERY pretty game.
No surprises, this game is practically scripted by TVTropes.com, but that's fine.
It's cast by trope, too - you have the Woman, the Black Guy, the Office Dude, the Old Man, the Grizzled Military Vet, the Biker Dude...
but it works. This isn't about delicate and sensitive characterization. This is about ZOMBIES. and the slaughterization thereof. I broke a mouse trying to
rapidfire dual pistols into an onrushing horde..
I approve!

Gah. So many things to get, and yet I have no money to spend. ('Job'? What do you mean 'Job'? )

my friend picked up this game and I greatly enjoyed it.
I have to say that the AI is insanely good at NOT hitting you with friendly fire. Better than I could ever be.
but yes, lots of fun and hooking up with 3 friends (who know how to stay together, it all about STAYING TOGETHER) can rock the zombie apocalypse.

I feel compelled to point out that if you consider WORK to be a four letter word, well, the same applies to PAID

Poor College Girl has no place to work. I need to talk to some people and see if I can't rustle up something on-campus.

Good point... the On campus jobs tend to make allowances for working around class schedules, etc.
Probobly why there is always such competition for them

That sounds nice. The Survivor AI in Dead Rising seemed to be very good at shooting you. '.' (That game sometimes had really strange AI...)

What platform do you have L4D on, Morgan?

I'm guessing that Wire has L4D on a different platform and had been hoping to team with you online.

Well, given that Xbox's are, in Gryphon's words, "really stupid PCs," I think the difference is getting smaller.
