_FFC_
Been rather uneventful gaming-wise so far this year, mainly due to a lack of regular players. BW has been traveling a lot on his job, Hock is now out on his annual beach-bake-bingo vacation, Semp is still fight'n medical problems, Gonz spent a fun-filled week+ in scenic OKC, and so on. Luckily the faithful few of us left holding the fort have had L4D zombies and the COD Pezbots to keep us company. Definitely not as fun without the full gang around but better than reverting back to online solitaire.
Speaking of L4D, the "2" version released in November and Valve has announced that "Left 4 Dead 2" has gone Double Platinum in just two weeks. Yes, that's 2 million copies sold! Have to watch for discount sales on the new version but doubt we see any deals until maybe Xmas time again. From vids I've seen, it doesn't look all that different than what we are playing now...just more weapons and some altered models...maybe a bit better graphics. Schultz just this week scored the regular L4D on eBay, so we look forward to having him join us soon. He doesn't get in as much gaming time as the rest of us but hopefully can at least be a second stringer since we seem to often be short a full 4-player squad these days.
BF:BC2 is still looking great, as evidenced by this new SP teaser trailer. As mentioned, I already have my pre-order in and looking forward to the PC Beta if/when...
Nothing new on the COD front lately. The patch for the COD5 Vietnam mod is still pending but should be out RSN. Zeroy is, as usual, the main dev force on that and now that the Galactic Warfare mod is out should have a bit more time to return to other projects. Speaking of the GW mod, there are some great looking maps and models forth-coming...can't wait!
Mamba, out
