FYI
Between actually doing homework and reading my brains out I've gotten back into WOW for a bit. I can now say I've gotten two char up to 60. My Shammy just dinged and omg it was too easy. I'm glad they're made some changes but damn I only died when I went balls out and took on groups of 4 or more. I remember outlands being crazy and awesome weapons right off the bat but really things seem a bit outta hand. I can go from battle too battle generating more mana and health than i know what to do with. Pretty sure I could still rock mobs with nothing but my daggers and undies.(picture not included) Anyways I'm kinda back up and on but still gotta get shit done these days (for another month!). Let me know any thoughts.

RUN!!! and shoot!
Hey all, how are things? Life treating you well? I'm here in my batcave writing me a program to blink some LEDs...sure, it's not fabulous, but still kind of amazing in and of itself.
Anyways, been keeping up with my gaming news and one in particular has come under my radar...
LEFT 4 DEAD
It's quite simple, you're one of four people who find themselves in a zombie apocalypse! I believe there are a series of four missions with different objectives in which you have to consistently beat the onrush of zombies.
Things become more hectic in that there exists this somewhat enigmatic figure called "The Director" which I'm not quite sure weather or not has an in game avatar...or if it's just an AI. Regardless, it dictates when / where the zombie rush will come and seems to know the right time to hit you and quite unexpectidely.
To add to the craziness, there are four types of "boss" zombies, which are playable in a 4 vs. 4 match where teams take turns playing as survivors or infected. Even while playing only as survivors these badies come up. Apparently, the infected act as griefers, dashing the hopes and dreams of the survivors. For example, when all is quiet and you've strayed a little to the left of your team, BAM! you get pounced on by "the Hunter."
Here's the intro clip:
If any are interested, the demo is up on steam.
I've been following the game via Rock, Paper, Shotgun (RPS). Here are some articles that really perked my interest in the game:
Walkthrough of the Left 4 Dead Dead Air campaign.
A narrative of the RPS team's adventures in versus mode.
Some first impressions of the game.
I'm planning on trying the demo out first, because I don't know if my hardware will take much of a liking to a zombie apocalypse. Luckily, the game is developed using the source engine which as we all know, works fairly well on some older hardware. Now let's see if def was able to download it, LOL!

Humor dump...
It's monday! Yay! More work! Wait...wha?
Mephistopheles meets the EULA...
Makes me think that any of those "make a pact with the devil" type stories could have been easily solved with an EULA...remind me to carry one in my wallet...just in case...
It's surprising how years later, I can still watch a Matrix spoof and be entertained. Who would have guessed? So what would have happened if the Matrix ran on Windows? Screw that, I wouldn't want a USB device driver somewhere in my head to run the USB port...
Hope everyone had a great weekend and is having a good day!
