Ever wondered how the damage you do as a hunter when you pounce is calculated? Wonder no more, for the good people over at The Survivor’s Diary Podcast have you covered. Read their article about hunter pounce damage. It’s got diagrams and everything. Good stuff!
For those of you who like moving pictures, there is also a rather nice video that demonstrates the same thing:
The Survivor’s Diary is a great Left 4 Dead podcast that I started listening to a couple of weeks ago. Their site has been down for the last week or so because of arcane technical issues, but now it’s back! I thoroughly recommend going over and checking it out.
It was only a matter of time… Someone has made a Left 4 Dead porn movie. I’m not going to go into details here, but you can read all about it on Destructoid. For the record, I haven’t watched it.
Definitely worth a thousand words:
Valve is putting Left 4 Dead on sale for 50% off this weekend:
This Friday the 13th brings us a little closer to the zombie apocalypse. Whether or not you’re superstitious, Left 4 Dead is 50% off this weekend only. So grab a shotgun and make a run for the next safe room.
It’s the zombie apocalypse. Bring friends.
If you’re reading this blog, I suppose you already have a copy… Hmm, maybe you have friends who would be able to take advantage of this?
Breaking news: The upcoming ‘Survival Pack’ downloadable content for Left 4 Dead will be free for both PC and the Xbox 360. If you couldn’t figure that out from my cryptic post title, shame on you. Go away, and don’t come back til you’ve learned your TLAs.
Anyway. This is good news for 360 owners, who typically get stiffed with this sort of thing and have to shell out for any extra content for their games. It is also good news for Valve fanboys (such as myself) because the announcement shows that Valve have considerable weight behind their position, even when dealing with giants like Microsoft.
Hot off the press from L4D411: Valve press release detailing an update that will drop in the Spring. It is reported to contain the SDK, Dead Air and Death Toll as versus maps along with a new mode called ‘Survival’.
I’m hoping for defence style gameplay with the Survivors holding out against waves of zombies and player controlled Special Infected. Maybe we’ll even get some sort of barricading mechanic. That would be pretty awesome in my opinion.
This post over on Geekologie was pointed out to me by a co-worker today due to zombie content. I was especially pleased to see an apparent reference to the movie trailer I posted before on the same subject. Either that or they’d been playing a lot of Call of Duty: World at War.
Some creative soul has put together a music video that heavily features Francis’ “I hate” sound clips:
Ahh, a man after my own heart…
Who let the furries in?
