Yesterday Mike wrote up his impressions of a motion-control enabled version of Left 4 Dead 2 running on a PC with the help of Sixense TrueMotion wireless motion controllers.
Now take a gander at a Razer rep playing a bit of the game with the dual, black sticks.
Bad enough that this sucker's set in Louisiana and still features a cricket bat - I've truly never heard of anyone playing that game south of the Mason-Dixon, outside of university graduate students from India.
This viral vid across the pond for Left 4 Dead 2 furthers the European co-opting of the zombie genre - as American as the Fourth of July, apple pie and loud mufflers - by applying all sorts of Euro words to zombie-fightin' weaponry. You don't have a chainsaw but you do have a what? "A ... 'strimmer'"?
The hell is a "strimmer"?
Looky here, beefeater. My great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great granddaddy kicked your great-great-great-great-great-great-great-great granddaddy's ass back in 1812, and then my granddaddy, forgiving all of that, bailed y'all out in the big Dubya-Dubya-Eye-Eye, so that I would grow up in a world where I had the inalienable right to call that goddamn yard tool by its proper generic name - "weedwhacker."

In this video, the Valve boss Gabe Newell takes questions at the Park Hyatt Hotel in Sydney and discusses support for Left 4 Dead and why he honored the deal to fly to Australia to see a modder's campaign
Newell was asked about support for Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, relative to other Valve titles, and the chief offered that "Team Fortress is the benchmark and that's the level we intend to bring all products to.
We're going through transition, which I think is interesting. We call it "entertainment as a service" and Team Fortress is furthest along, in terms of rapid regular updates, and moving into movies with the 'Meet the Team' shorts, as well as we're starting to do some stuff with comics. So, Team Fortress is really the model that the rest of our products are gonna be following as we move ahead.
As to why he honored modder Joe W-A's request to get down to Brisbane and see his Left 4 Dead campaign:
We recognize that we really are part of this community. We talk about it a lot, that we're not up here and the community's down here, and the games snowflake in. We really are part of it. We look to that community to see what we should do. ... It was pretty clear that this was one of those things that the community fell in love with the idea. They wanted us to come down here and meet with Joe and give him feedback. And in our experience, it's been very bad idea when we get such a clear signal from pc gaming community, if we ignore it.

There's a bustling Left 4 Dead mod community over at L4Dmaps.com, whipping up also sorts of custom maps like this Super Mario Bros. 64 map created by modder DoritoClock. Who knew Princess Peach's Castle could be so nightmarish?

For those of you wondering what I was talking about with generator-camping — that's exactly what's going on in this clip.
The level is set in an abandoned motel and the generator is in the drained pool at the center of the complex. Now these Infected are mostly just mobbing the back right hand side of the pool where the ammo and health items are. But at about the 26 second mark, you can see green acid and fire just covering the generator area while some poor sap gets hauled off by a Smoker.
See? Generator-camping!
