A couple days ago Alex from comml4d and e-rev posted a thread advertising a shout cast set to take place this Thursday between vVv and TT for cevo.  Both teams are 6-0 and this match will decide who makes it to the playoffs from their group, so it is certainly a match worthy of being casted.

The thread got derailed pretty badly by a troll named BROfest who claimed top teams could be beat by a random group of friends who simply played for fun and never competed in anything.  It turned into a lot o…  More

Before I start talking about this blogs subject,  I would like to introduce myself. I'm Kyiz but also known as "Agent Smith" as my steam handle. I've been playing l4d since release and played it in my free time with WoW. Recently I've been getting in the competitive scene and doing a lot of scrims vs. some good, bad, and in between teams. As of now I'm looking for a team but I'm trying out for a couple teams atm and hope that changes soon. You'll find my blogs I'll be posting filled with spellin…  More

So gameriot put in a new cool twitter module for the different portals and I just enabled mine.  It's usually me just putting up funny stuff conversations or one liners that I come up with or come across so you won't be bombarded with stupid twitter spam if you decide to follow me on it.

So if you like the zombie twit bird, as well as my raunchy sense of humor feel free to follow me on twitter.

Here are some of the dev walk through videos from E3 (Including the retarded comments on incendiary roun…  More

The good, the bad, and the ugly Left 4 Dead 2.

 

Let me start by saying, I am very fond of valve. I have played their PC games for almost 10+ years starting with Half-Life. In the past valve has a very good track record with their customers in regards to supporting their titles. You wouldn't have to look much further than TF2 to see this, as a game that retailed in a bundle it has seen a lot of love from valve in the form of numerous updates and patches that added a ton of new content to the …  More

Valve and Left 4 Dead fans are preparing to boycott (lol) the sequel to everyone's favorite zombie-filled game.  I wanted to sit and stew on this piece for a few days because my initial reaction to the game was utter shock over the rapid turn around on a sequel and because it looked quite nice. 

If you haven't followed the boycott news I will catch you up real quick.  This forum thread started it off over at the Steam forums.  This thread's list of complaints and the supporters moved on to creati…  More

Tanks tend to be the single most defining point in any map, and often times will drastically alter the momentum of a match based on the outcome of the encounter.  On one hand you can end up with a situation where the tank able to completely demolish the survivors, and on the other hand there are situations where a tank can be kited around and not even get a hit on any of the survivors.  This article should hopefully serve as a primer of the strategy on both sides to be successful with as well as against tanks (this article will be infected based).…  More

Thanks to Maximum PC, here is the first look at Left 4 Dead 2.  Set in Louisiana and Georgia and yes, there are chainsaws!

I don't have time to write up a full rant atm, I have to run some errands before work.  I will write up the full post later, but for now here is a link to the news release.

So the ladder finals have arrived, and have brought together in my opinion the best two teams in L4D, exigent and area51.  Unfortunately in a sour turn of events, the sponsors of L4DDER.com dropped off the face of the earth and there will no longer be prize money for the #1 and #2 teams, it is simply a battle for pride as well as the winners right to call themselves the top team in L4D.

The match starts at 8:30 EST and can be viewed over at http://pwnage.tv/ .  Also there will be a special guest …  More

My 9th and final video compilation is now released and HD ready!

I really want to thank everyone who was involved in the production of this video. These videos really signify how I feel about Left 4 Dead as well as the Hunter in general.

The small snippet trailer to my 9th final edition compilation is up and running and can be viewed here...



It's very short, but it displays the general video effects I'll be using as well as the colorization and fog inputs.

One part of my game that I always felt wasn't up to par, and I had a hard time figuring out how to fix it.  I'm talking about skeeting hunters mid air.  I would be able to follow them pretty well but my shots still weren't as accurate as they needed to be.  After watching the dpv video I decided to mess around with my crosshair settings, and the results have been very very good. 

Here are a list of the settings you can mess with:

cl_crosshair_dynamic (adjusts based on moving/firing)
cl_crosshair_t…  More

In a joke post over at http://www.l4d.com/blog/ apparently everyone has been fired from the Left 4 Dead team.  In addition to this they are now hiring, and the job application is an L4D cross word.

I've gotten the majority of them, post here if you've finished it and want to brag
