We’re… Please, give me a moment to catch my breath and collect my thoughts. We’re holed up in the basement of ICHQ. I’m writing this on the last computer with power. Luckily the UPS has enough battery to power the router and computer long enough to let me write this.

I don’t have much time, so I’ll just say it: they’re everywhere. Everywhere. We don’t know what to do. I know we have to get out, but I’m afraid they’ve left us for dead…

  • Yeah, so the public demo of Left4Dead is now available. GET IT. I am almost 189% positive some IC people are going to be playing this tonight in lieu of TF2…
  • Sony is trying a new tactic in the console online shopping arena: a store for a single publisher. The Capcom PSN Store will be released this Thursday, and will feature Age of Booty along with all other available Capcom content for the Playstation 3.
  • Yes, yes I know. I KNOW ALREADY. Wrath of the Lich King is coming out! I saw it, of all places, on the front page of a major Detroit newspaper. But anyways, Yougamers has a very thorough analysis, in two parts. It’s a good read.
  • Hey Australia! Microsoft loves you, mates. Take the extra cash you saved on your new Xbox 360 and buy yourself another jar of Vegemite! (Ed note: bahahahaha)
  • Casual game of the day? It’s like a Braid, Sonic the Hedgehog, You Have To Burn The Rope mashup… Thank me later.

    It is.

    oh. It is.

    I played with three doofuses for 10 minutes. They weren't even team players, wouldn't heal me even though i was about to die, wouldn't cover me as I manned a chaingun which ultimately helped us all, blah blah blah. They were playing "ME fortress" if you catch my drift

    And I STILL had a blast. Playing this with 3 of you guys is gonna be EPIC.

    DO WANT

    The demo is amazing. And terrifying. But loads of fun. I'm wondering how much replay value there would be in the full game.

    Just played the 2 level demo through. Fast action. When those hordes come in it reminds me of Serious Sam but better.. The only thing I didn't like is you cant duck so the guy behind you can shoot over your head. Didn't try the co op.
