Left 4 Teletubbies: Infected Teletubbies!
September 18th, 2009
Ever watched those annoying kids programs where everyone sings, dances and are just always in a good mood? Ever wanted to just take a gun and make bolognese of their brains, making the kids cry when their favourite TV character is on the floor with his guts pooring out his sides? If you are this sick and twisted, you will love what we have in store for you today. If you're just like the regular gamer who wants to make his/her Left 4 Dead a little silly and fun, you might enjoy this as well. Crasy modder flameknight7 spent the last few months changing all the common infected into Teletubbies.
Valve Interview Sheds More Light on Left 4 Dead 2
August 30th, 2009
There’s a great interview with Valve writer, Chet Faliszek, at Offworld about Left 4 Dead and Valve culture in general. Very interesting conversation about the larger Left 4 Dead world, which has some surprises in store for us.
Interestingly, Faliszek mentions that the recently announced L4D1 DLC, Crash Course, was supposed to be released before E3 and the Left 4 Dead 2 announcement.
“I think in this case we just didn’t message correctly,” said Faliszek to Offworld. “We didn’t make it clear that Left 4 Dead was still going to be updated. We just didn’t think to mention it, we were focusing on other stuff.” “We, internally, always knew we were going to do cool new stuff, so we didn’t say anything about the original game,” he added. “Of course we also intended to get the Crash Course DLC for L4D out before E3, but some things held us up.” “I think if we had that out before the Left 4 Dead 2 announcement, then it would have been clearer for our intentions. Losing the opportunity to get that right hurt us, but I think we made the right choices otherwise.”
While I really enjoy what Valve is doing here, I’m not entirely convinced this is true. It all seems like damage control. From the outside looking in, Crash Course seems to be a short Left 4 Dead experience, one easily concocted between E3 and its September release. I’m hoping I’m wrong!

August 28th, 2009
We’ve played “The Parish”, we’ve played “Swamp Fever” and soon we’ll get a chance at the new “Dark Carnival” campaign from Left 4 Dead 2. That is, if we hit the Penny Arcade Expo, where we can see different chapters in the Microsoft and Valve booth. Also we should see some more new items featured in the game. Worse, we can see that scary clown zombies will be out for blood!
Still leaves a new boss infected and an unrevealed gameplay mode unaccounted for! What will it be? Flying creatures? Free-for-all zombie/survivor deathmatches? What do you think?

August 17th, 2009UPDATE: The campaign is actually titled “Dark Carnival” it seems. Left the rest of the post as is:
GameTrailers revealed some video about Left 4 Dead 2′s “Fairgrounds” campaign and the pending DLC for Left 4 Dead, Crash Course. In Left 4 Dead 2, there’s a cool amusement park scene, and an eerie carousel, but I’m hopeful for a working rollercoaster. 
Crash Course opens with a helicopter crash, as it bridges the gap between No Mercy and Death Toll, and yes, confirms there are only two maps. Boo hoo, but still fun!
Silent Hill Mod for Left 4 Dead Videos
August 8th, 2009I love the modmaking community. I wish I had one-tenth the talent they do. Now some clever group has created a mod in Left 4 Dead for Silent Hill! Check out these videos to see if you want to explore the fog!

August 7th, 2009This one’s a bit odd. Valve’s releasing new DLC for Left 4 Dead in September, free for PC owners, but $7 for Xbox 360 owners. Not bad, we’d gladly pay $7 for a full movie to one of our favorite games… but there’s a catch. It’s NOT a full movie. It’s 2 chapters of a movie, where normally a Left 4 Dead movie is 5 chapters long. What gives? This feels like the “deleted content” from Valve’s archives, not the carefully, meticulously designed levels that we thought we’re coming.
I’m still happy that we’ll have more Left 4 Dead to play, but I wish Valve cared a bit more. I would be fine if they bundled the best of the best fan content and sold that to me on my Xbox 360, as there is no way to play the user-created content outside of the PC. I suppose this will tide people over until November, when Left 4 Dead 2 comes out. But it feels a little cheap. If people really want a 20-30 min. Versus experience, why not just start on one of the later chapters?

August 4th, 2009Valve announced today that a new Left 4 Dead downloadable content campaign, Crash Course, would be coming to Xbox 360 and PC this September. PC owners will get it free, but Xbox 360 players will need to pay $7 (560 Microsoft Points) for the campaign. Within the campaign, players can expect “new locations, new dialogue from the original cast, and an explosive finale.” Valve also stated that Crash Course is meant to bridge the gap between “No Mercy” and “Death Toll” storywise, and includes new Survival maps.

The Winchester from Shaun of the Dead in Left 4 Dead form
Yes, that’s the Winchester from Shaun of the Dead, rendered in Left 4 Dead glory. A team of geniuses is re-creating many of the famous locations from Shaun of the Dead for a 5-chapter Left 4 Dead campaign (that’s hopefully compatible with Left 4 Dead 2 down the road!).
Unfortunately, no sooner is this mod discovered than the creators are getting cold feet. One member of the team is concerned with creating a campaign based on the Shaun of the Dead movie. While we’d think that would be a bad idea if you were looking to sell the campaign, creating it freely should be totally fine. But those people gotta do what they gotta do. Hopefully, we’ll still get to play it in Left 4 Dead or Left 4 Dead 2!
