Well, all I can say about my performance tonight is that I was glad to be an annoyance as the Smoker in the finale of Dead Center today. Otherwise, I've played better.

Good game, though... close to the very end.

I kept thinking that entire time "Please don't catch me, please don't catch me..." when you were alive for so many smokes. Ha.

Yeah, I think I picked on Evilseed the most there. Not intentionally, mind you, but he seemed to be the one caught the most.

Smoker was always my best infected. Boomer has almost always been consistently my worst. L4D2 has not changed this.

You killed me. And you think you picked on evilseed the most. What are you saying?

I could have sworn I got him the most overall though... hmm. Oh well.

When I was the tank, who was it that took the chainsaw to my back while I was blinded by boomer bile? Damn you, whoever it was

I notice people play the smoker differently then I do. I see a lot of people go after one of a group of four and try to create choas while some are boomed. My tactic is to try to wait for someone to make a mistake such as moving to far from the group when chaos is happening, or looking for items without backup and punish them for their mistake. I feel the game is more about pestering the survivors until they make a mistake and then capitolize on that mistake. I have yet to see a team that doesn't make at least one mistake a round.

I think that is why I like the jockey. He is great for jumping on a trailing or leading player that is too far from the group, or even the only one without bile. You then play a mini game of keeping the survivor out of sight. In one game I kept the survivor on the other side of a pole until incap.

Good one. That gave me a nice snicker to start the day. You can really be clever sometimes.

C'mon, man - this is Team Jerk, not Team Everyone Have a Flower and We'll Hold Hands and Sing Songs.

(At least not since that last awkward group retreat [shiver])

True kudos to Wired, Bonus and Demon for helping to maintain our good cheer while getting stomped. I felt somewhat better after Demonbox pointed out that we had inadvertently gone up against a seemingly competitive clan team (I also checked out their website and it was pretty elaborate).

Serves us right for going in all cocky. At least they seemed to appreciate our Xmas carol warbling over snare-speak. Good call on that one Demonbox.

I think the special infected are like the survivors in that there is only really one of each of them. You know how a survivor will die but later on the same survivor will be in a closet somewhere waiting to get out. I think the special infected are the same. So the reason they all look the same is because all of them are the same. Every tank is the same person. Every witch is the same person.

I really like this idea. It’s as nonsensical as the rest of the game, thus fits perfectly into the rules of the experience.

The guy in the church in Death Toll clearly transforms directly from human to special infected, but that might have just been put in for gameplay purposes. It might even be that there are different strains of the infection that result in the different infected types.

Alright, so I guess this is from this Left 4 Dead game I’ve never played before. I know I’ve never played it because I always wondered to that man in the church, I thought he just disappeared. He becomes SI? Wow. How do we know this? Does he come out when the door opens? I’m usually too busy trying to stay alive to notice.

It was sad, but so very funny. We didn’t win a single round. It’s not that we were horrible, but more that A) they were playing well and B) for whatever reason our chemistry wasn’t great last night. We just weren’t really playing together good enough to take on a team of any competency. But yeah, good way to remember humility—to get pub stomped in that way.

I wish that one guy hadn’t followed us into the next game, which was Vs. He was ok except for the yelling after a round and the music files he would play (which I repeatedly told him to stop—I do not friggin understand why that’s a cool thing to do).

It doesn’t affect the difference between the two words “affect” and “effect,” Camni. Until you learn that difficult lesson life will always be more difficult for you. Also, you’re a jerk for posting that I was failing at Scav in the GWJ L4D Steam group. Always with the jokes, aren’t you?

Is there anyone out there who still hasn't done co-op? I ask because I anticipate getting L4D2 over Christmas and would like to go through them all before I hop into vs. I'm assuming there are a bunch of people like me who will be getting the game as gifts and I'd like to set up some matches in advance so I don't mis the post-holiday boat like I missed the post-release one.

I've actually never done a full co-op game yet, so I'd be glad to run through it with you. I'm sure there's others that wouldn't mind joining in, either.

How about everyone who's interested PM me and I'll organize some matches after I'm done eating ham and opening presents.

I'm always down for some co-op; I prefer playing that to Vs generally

I'll gladly join you if possible. I've gone through all the maps on co-op once, but that's it for some and no more than twice on any others (I think).

I blame my performance on it being my first time playing Scavenge. Yeah, that's the ticket. As for the music, the guy was a /b/tard, and it's sad that I know that just from his music. Our music, however, was awesome.

I'll never suggest a pubstomp again, until the next time.

I'm up for it. Still haven't played Hard Rain, and have only been through Swamp Fever on Co-op.

Voice cue through to door imply he has been bitten. I always figured Quasimodo in there was physically turned SI for a while and his mind finally gave out. We never do see him as a human beforehand.

I just meant I don't think they're all telepathically linked or something. They're more like ants or termites.

Edit: It would be pretty creepy if Valve released DLC or another sequel in which the infected actually started performing some group task like building a big nest or something.

That would be pretty awesome, actually.

I dunno, it sounds kinda like Half Life to me.

I think you're an admin on the server you could have always booted his a$$ and sent me an invite.

Oh man, that sort of thing is the worst. If I'm online, send me a PM when you run into music piping morons. I will gladly drop what I'm doing to come boot idiots. I know I'm not the only one who would, either.

Long story short - you don't have to put up with that on GWJ servers. Really!

I've never seen this on a GWJ server but if I do I'll just tell him I've heard better. Then he'll keep trying to impress me, but he never will. Then he'll leave the game feeling inadequate.

Well to be fair to the guy, we started it by singing christmas carols loudly through snare speak against his team. Then i geuss he just kept it up the next game.

Good thing we didn't go with the bible quotes as originally planned. The only one I know is "In my father's house there are many tits."

Ouch, remind me never to cross Bill_Lewis.

A new update was released today, but it's just some minor bug fixes. GWJ3 has been updated.

You want a joke?

How'd Dairy Queen get pregnant?

Spoiler:

Burger King forgot to wrap his Whopper.

Also, effect can be used as a verb...so that's my defense.

PM me for more jokes.

Maybe he was saying that the economy causes everything to happen. You know, as in "the CEO effected great change within the corporation."
