2009-04-26T15:41:00.001-04:00

YOU play everyday? Ya right.

2009-04-19T01:05:00.002-04:00

Alright, I play almost everyday... or a lot at least.

When I played tonight... I ended up with one teammate that ended up killing us all........

AoMxPoisnAngelz

Yup... It was the rooftop finale, and we were up by 800. (It was a hard-fought 800 points, you'll hear about it later)....

So after we made it to the top, we all bunkered down and took corners inside the building. We all ammo-ed up, and I healed as well as Jordan (Jordan and I were hurt from serious attacks that AoMxPoisnAngelz didn't help us from). But Louis and PoisnAngelz had green health (80+ each). So we have two packs left... And PoisnAngelz heals up! And takes a med pack. Suddenly a Boomer comes and gets Louis or something and Louis loses a lot of health. Jordan and I are guarding the doors from incoming hordes, and AoMxPoisnAngelz just sits there, letting Louis get hurt. No help. IDIOT. So Louis had to heal, and as an NPC he takes the last medpack. I didn't know AoMxPoisnAngelz had healed yet, and thought there was one pack left.

I called in the chopper, and we all bunkered down. AoMxPoisnAngelz ran to the roof, alone. Even Louis didn't go upstairs.

I hear a Hunter upstairs, so I run up to save AoMxPoisnAngelz, but I get pinned and then he does. We both get boomed, and the horde shows up. Yee-haw. By this time I'm upset. Jordan runs up and saves AoMxPoisnAngelz, who only took about twenty damage. I'm surrounded and can't get rescued easily. So I lose sixty health. I heal up, and run downstairs to get the "last medpack." It's not there. I'm mad. No pills, no pack, and the first Tank hasn't even spawned.

Here is where I get boomed again, and try to hide in the building. Louis and Jordan come back down, but not AoMxPoisnAngelz. So I throw my pipebomb, and reload. After the horde dies, I get ready for the Tank. (I took some damage so I have about 70 health). Tank spawns, and I run upstairs to help AoMxPoisnAngelz. Well, when I get upstairs I'm pinned. Louis saves me, thank you Louis. And then AoMxPoisnAngelz jumps down and runs towards the Tank. Idiot.

So I run over to the Molotovs to flame up the Tank. But, I get pinned. Louis runs over to me but gets hit by the Tank... and Incapped NEXT TO ME, but on the OTHER SIDE of the crate. So he can't shoot off the Hunter. I'm losing health fast... and am Incapped. AoMxPoisnAngelz is there, but jsut stands there shooting the Tank and not helping me. When the Tank runs after Jordan AoMxPoisnAngelz shoots off the Hunter, but leaves. Luckily the Tank chases him now and Jordan heps me up. I help up Louis, but am smoked off the side. Jordan tries to come to my rescue, but gets boomed then pinned. Luckily, he had already shot off the Smoker. So I shoot the Hunter off Jordan, and he is left with about ten health.

Louis is dead. Jordan heals. AoMxPoisnAngelz is being chased. Jordan finishes healing, and the SMOKER SPAWNS AND GRABS HIM. Ok, that's stupid. PoisnAngelz is pinned, but Jordan is healing. I shoot off the Hunter from PoisnAngelz and the Smoker lands where I am... I die. This is when Jordan is smoked. AoMxPoisnAngelz could easily have shot the stupid Smoker even though he was incapped. But he sat there. Jordan went from around 75 health to incapped due to his inaction. By this time the Molotov I EVENTUALLY hit the Tank with had killed it. Jeez.

Afterwards, we play as the Infected, Jordan fails to do what he said he would and we end up needing AoMxPoisnAngelz's help. But he sucks. He really bites. He is terrible. He ends up being the worst. The other team bunkers in the building, and stay together and kill us easily. They killed the first Tank (Jordan) easily. Then the second Tank, AoMxPoisnAngelz, did no damage. He threw random rocks at the worst times possible... GOD!!!

So when I'm the Tank, I'm stuck in some glitchy area and can't even move... When I finally can move, they're all in the Copter. DAMN! I totally blame AoMxPoisnAngelz for the failure.

Of course, we ended up losing as they were all GREEN when they entered, I don't think Francis healed ONCE!!! Damn!

The other team was actually good, if only Jordan and AoMxPoisnAngelz actually did something. If Jordan did what I told him and AoMxPoisnAngelz actually incapped one Survivor we may have done better.

So I sent AoMxPoisnAngelz a message telling him he did terrible and should either stop playing or learn how to play. He replied that he has been playing everyday for a while now and that I was a newb and sucked. I laughed tremendously, and examined the play. Given what I said above, and the intelligence I gave in previous posts, who was the newb? Ya, AoMxPoisnAngelz sucked and I couldn't win alone... But maybe if he did something I wouldn't be trashing him so much.

In response:
- Never Leave Someone Next To You For Dead, Turn and Save Them
- NEVER GO ON THE ROOF ALONE!!! NEVER!!!
- Do not APPROACH the Tank, He Is Stronger Than You
- When Incapped, Try to Save Your Fellow Survivors if You Can... You Can Still Shoot
- If There is a Tank And He's Not Attacking You, And You Can Save Someone From A Hunter/Smoker... DO IT! The Other Person Can Help You Kill the Tank!

So I leave you with this: Stop being a NEWB AoMxPoisnAngelz and leave me the heck alone!!!

Well, I've had the red circle of death before, and it's starting to make the same sounds it did when it died last year. I hope to avoid this again...

But that means no Left 4 Dead for a while. I guess I'll update you guys about Easter Weekend L4D games a bit later.

No Mercy for Anyone

2009-04-07T11:03:00.002-04:00

Last night was epic: 2 Rounds of No Mercy Versus
The cast was the same both times.

AlNeezo11: Me (wow)- Louis
NeeKiller: Uri- Zoey
Baconautor: John- Francis
Baconautor(1): Jordan- Bill

Round 1:
Scores:
1- 1120/ 59
2- 58/ 16
3- 1557/ 20
4- 1506/ 18
5- 2160/ Missed
End- 6401/ 439

I'm trying out a new score layout... but I'm thinking it takes up too much room... Hmmm...

During level 1 we all made it, naturally. But when it was their turn I smoked Louis before he had a chance to jump down the hole in the apartments. He died. It was epic. And then I ran out to go and help my friends on the street... Uri pinned one person, and I smoked the "rescuer." I was the Smoker the whole time and never died once that round. Yay!

When we were playing level 2 I told people to molotov the Witch, but Jordan wanted to try and get CROWNED with a normal shotgun... He was killed by the Witch when I got pinned and everyone else got horded. FAIL. Then, when we made it to the large "basement" room with the pillars, the Tank spawned, Uri was incapped, and John and I were boomed. We got pummled afterwards. The Tank died, but John had too little health to fend of the rapid spawning Boomer. (It spawned every 5 seconds! I swear!) But they didn't do any better, they did worse.

Alright, I don't know what the logic was during level 3 but after the Tank I went to inspect the "secret room" above the gas station for weapons, everyone followed me! I said I'd do it alone and run back to the lift... But oh well. Then, Jordan goes and runs to the lift, without telling anyone. NEVER DO THAT! He got pinned and we didn't know where he was. What happened next was beyond me: we jumped down, and SOMEONE (we believe it was Uri) shot the gas tanks!!! C-R-A-P! We scatter like ants and boom! We barely survived, and barely reached Jordan before he died. ALL BEFORE WE MADE IT TO THE LIFT!!! Damn.... While we ran across the roof John got smoked, and each time we tried to cross something happened. So I just ran downstairs and opened the door for them. When we finally made it to the sewer John Jordan couldn't get down the manhole. It was actually pretty funny... but eventually he made it, after yelling for about a minute. And when we were safe inside the safehouse... the door closed and Francis threw a molotov. The whole room was on fire, thanks a lot. But during their turn I incapped two in the lot, and yellowed Francis... they all died outside of the diner.

Level 4 was pretty good. We encountered the Tank right away in the first open room... and he chased me all over the place. But we unloaded and beat it pretty easily. During the course of the level I ran out of ammo twice (Assault Rifle) and forgot to restock at the elevator... oops. But we all survived. They weren't so luck. They felt the WRATH OF URI!!! Mwah ha ha ha! In the same room we had the Tank, they were attacked. Uri incapped three of them, and the last one was a piece of cake. It was blatant they stunk that round.

Finale: Ah the epic finale. We all escaped and found that if someone acts as bait and 'tovs the Tank, and someone is up top with the minigun, then the Tank falls fast. It worked pretty well. They, again, FAILED. All four of them stunk! The first guy around the block I smoked off the side into the elevator shaft. Then they got boomed. Then they got jumped. Then they got boomed again. And somehow three of them made it to the roof. Then they got jumped. And smoked. And then boomed again. And one guy JUMPED off the roof onto the ground, and incapped himself. Idiot. And the last two got pinned. It was an EPIC FAIL.

Like we normally do, we won.

Round 2:

Quickly after the game ended I hit START GAME since all four were still in the lobby. We began round two, mwah ha ha ha!!! To my surprise they actually tried the first level without quitting.

Scores:
1- 1164/ 72
2- 1368/ 4
3- 1372/ 40
4- 1434/ 47
5- 2040/ QUIT
End- Us: 7378

Pissed that they quit in the middle of the final level. If you're at the finale, at least finish it.

The only person who stayed on board to level 2 was senojxxx, who only played because he bowed to our superiority. He must have seen us as a diety. (He quit level 4). We decided to SPEED ROUND each level, trying to get through as fast as we could... and we did amazing.

At the end of level 1 Jordan and I BOTH had 97 health... and I never healed once. LOL. I had the most kills to, 32. HA ha ha! But NeeKiller did the most ZOMBIE DAMAGE: 761. Respectable for the first level and without a Tank. We no lie finished in about 1 minute flat. Maybe a few seconds more, but no more than 1:20. It was amazing how fast we flew through that level. Naturally, they all died. I got that sneaky bastard who tried to run for the safehouse. LOL!

NeeKiller did the best level 2, with some triple digit kills. I don't know how. But we ran through the level again, and never gave them time to set up. We even killed the Tank really fast. We ran through, set off the car alarm, ran into the safehouse, healed, and won. They started one of the worst rounds ever. I was the Tank a few seconds after they exited the safehouse. And I ran into the area right below the safehouse, and incapped THREE of them. Jordan, I think, incapped the last one. All four were incapped right under the safehouse... scoring only FOUR points! FAILURE!!!!

Level 3 was interesting. I think what we did regarding the lift was the best thing we have ever done, well, since we can't beat the door down. Uri and I ran through the diner immediately and straight to the lift. John and Jordan ran to the back room to check for weapons. Uri and I rode up the lift and ran into the building really fast, while John and Jordan came out to kill any possible Smokers. Uri and I grabbed some ammo, ran downstairs and opened the large door. By the time the door opened, John and Jordan were just reaching it. Everybody was green and the horde hadn't even arrived. We blew through the rest of the level pretty quickly, and no Tank spawned. I ended up with 196 kills, it was pretty wonderful. When we were the INFECTED I jumped Francis off the roof while he was alone (it was Francis, an NPC)... then I got to kill him down below. They made it to the room above the ammo room, but that's when Zoey got jumped and died. Yehaw!

Considering the Tank was in the first large reception room we made it fairly quickly. If we didn't have to fight the Tank almost immediately, we would have made it to the elevator in about a minute instead of two and a half. But once we made it up top we breezed through the level. Only, Jordan got smoked off the edge of the hospital and I had to save him. Ha ha. But then, two more people joined... and the two that were already on kicked them. We were confuzzled. As the Infected I tried smoking people off the ledge in the first large reception room, but I couldn't get them for some reason. Two more people joined, and were again kicked. We laughed because you need three votes to kick, and two people would be together and for some reason kick themselves. Weird... So John was the Tank and stirred up commotion upstairs in the second reception room. I was surprised by the appearance of a new player, and I screamed their name: "KINKYSLAYER!!!" I thought it was funny, nobody else did. I smoked him off the ledge I was trying to for so long, and he was the last one. John tried to Tank punch him out of my grasp... but somehow missed. Ha ha. Eventually he killed me, team-killing noob. ;)

The finale was epic. We literally OWNED them. They did so little to us, and all four of us lived. They quit right after we entered the helicopter, lame-ohs.

Ah well, that's what happens when you rock.

Untouchable

2009-04-07T11:01:00.001-04:00

Well, I just got the Untouchables achievement. (Where no survivors take damage after contacting the rescue vehicle). I took my hints from YouTube, ya I'm lame like that.
And the best part, I beat it WITH bots on the XBox.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYIvN1f7ex8

That describes, essentially, what I did. I played a bit differently though.

The Story Thickens

2009-04-05T18:44:00.001-04:00

Alright, it may sound funny, but I may start writing a Left 4 Dead style story. Ya, laugh all you want people but I'm being serious. I'm interested in writing, but I don't think I'd make it in the real world. So I'm gonna test out some ideas and my writing style on you guys Mwah ha ha ha!

Thanks, I'll update you guys via blog posts!

Hunting Lessons: Tips and Tricks 1

2009-04-05T17:05:00.002-04:00

Some Hunter Tips and Tricks:

- Distance Travelled, not height of jump or air time, is what affects the amount of initial jump damage.
(For example, check this video) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9rNGsnfdm5k
- To wall-jump you must pull a 180 turn at the wall and jump again when you hit it. I don't wall-jump a lot but I can do it if I really need to.
- Never jump into a group of Survivors, always try to pick one of them off if they are alone or the others are boomed and surrounded.
- Lighting yourself on fire may cause more damage, but you definitely lose a lot of health fast.
- Instead of jumping on someone who is surrounded by a horde, join the horde and beat him down for more damage (unless he's the las one standing)
- Jumping above a Survivor helps when they are beating down
- There are usually two Hunters, but sometimes there are three. Try to keep coordinated if there are multiple Hunters around to get the most effective results.
- You scream when you jump, and growl when you're crouched... they will alert diligent players of your proximity.
- Hunter have the most health out of all Special Infected, use that to your advantage!

I found this one video that kind of summarizes my own points. I think he's a pretty good Hunter, probably better than me. ;) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SDV_2w4NU_s

This isn't a guise to being the Hunter, but if you keep these tips and tricks in mind... you may just come out on top!

Red Mist

2009-04-05T10:08:00.003-04:00

Well, after a long and hard road... I got the Red Mist achievement.

I needed 250 kills with the Mounted MG (exactly) and played two rounds of the rooftop finale and one runway finale... each time I chose RANDOM but ended up as Zoey, a strange happening indeed.

FEAR MY RED MIST!!! 1000 Kills with the MMG

Smoking

2009-04-04T20:44:00.003-04:00

That's right, it's time to talk about this year's Number 3 Villain of the Year (according to Game Informer): THE SMOKER.

Seriously, who would want to be dragged along the wall of a building and be unable to move? The whole time a giant tongue is crushing you! It's really embarassing. I continue to say: I'd be running for the rescue vehicle, and right when I am about to enter, I'd be smoked and killed. It's true.

Anyhow, these past updates have seriously hurt the one-shot kills of the Smoker. Before, you'd be able to wait outside on the roof of Mercy Hospital and one-smoke the first person off the ladder to a certain death. Now, it's just about 20 damage. I like that a lot more, but it's really annoying for Smokers. Also, dragging someone off the edge usually leads to them grabbing the edge, not falling like they used to. Good again for Survivors, bad for Smokers.

The key to being a Smoker is not to be seen, until the last second. You also want to be in a position to single out a Survivor and reduce the chance anybody has of rescuing them. The Smoker does much less damage than a Hunter, so location is key. A Hunter may be able to do 10-15 damage in an open area, or even next to the Survivors, but a Smoker cannot. Stealth is your biggest weapon. Finding the right place with the right distance is the first step to becoming a great Smoker. Heck, I don't ALWAYS get into the best spots and sometimes it is strategic to be in the open... but not most of the time.

The best spots are ones in which Survivors cannot return: i.e. The Giant Hole in the apartments in No Mercy, Level 1. Or maybe dropping into the sewers in No Mercy, Level 3. Other great spots are ones that drop Survivors great distances, and thus inflicting great pain immediately: Such as off a wall or off a cliff. Trying to incap them by pulling them into an abyss doesn't work as well as it used to, but it is still very useful. Another strategy is to key to use the Smoker to trigger key events: such as smoking someone into the Witch (which angers her) or smoking someone OVER a car (which sets off the alarm).

Timing is also important: if no zombies are around, you're an easy target. If you wait until the last second, you may miss your chance. If you strike to early, you may have to wait to recharge (which is a pain). The best times are when someone is left alone, they are in a group and you want to pull one away to pick him/her off, they are about to heal themselves, or they are all boomed. When they are boomed they can hardly see... which grants you the time to pull them far away, and get a few hits in BEFORE they can see you... and by that time it is likely that a horde is on top of them and they can't get to your prey. Having a Hunter to protect you is also a good idea as he can jump any "rescuer" before they beat your prey out of your constriction. We use this tactic a lot.

Finally, remember your weaknesses. As a smoker you have less health than a Hunter, so catching on fire is a very bad idea (you'll die really fast). You also cough every few seconds which signifies that you are around: camping near Survivors may be a bad idea. You also give off a green smoke, so if you're waiting around a corner, any competent Survivor will notice your smoke and be ready for you. Keep this in mind when choosing your smoking location.

Well, I hope this has helped you in your Left 4 Dead quests, I just hope you all have a great time and get out there and SMOKE!!! Ha ha ha ha ha ha *cough* *wheeze* ha!

The Lame, The Awesome, and The Stupid

2009-04-04T15:43:00.007-04:00

Two Games to Catch Up On:

Blood Harvest: Versus

AlNeezo11- Me - Zoey

NeeKiller - Jordan - Francis

Baconautor - John - Louis

Baconautor(1) - Uri - Bill

Level 1:

Naturally we ran through the level quickly, and as cleanly as possible. Well, nothing special happened at all. We ran through killing everything and scored 1036 points.

Our opponents weren't so lucky. I killed Francis with the Smoker... before they crossed the bridge. And my teammates took care of the others pretty quickly, leaving our opponents with 282 points.

Level 2:

How we got through so quckly is beyond me. We ran and ran and even made 2 people quit. When we reached the safehouse Jordan and I both had 85 health. It was pretty epic. We ended with 1451 points.

Again, they weren't so lucky. They started to run through the level... But after three quick incaps I eventually killed Francis... again. That made him quit. So the last dude tried to make it on his own, but after those 3 incaps by moi they really had no chance. They all died and barely scored 45 points.

Level 3:

Typical end to a typical Awesome-Squad game. We ran through the level, and when we reached the train and the bridge section I ran ahead and started the train. However, when the train hit the bridge it collapsed on top of John, incapping him. Everybody got swarmed quickly and John died. The rest of us made it up the ramp and to the safehouse, scoring 916 points.

Right inside the safehouse at the end of our turn the last guy quit. The level started and 4 NPCs plauged the starting room. We were about to quit, after three minutes of nothing, when someone joined. They left the safehouse, and quit immediately. The end to a typical game.

---

Then I played a few solo campaigns with some random non-LIVE users on my X-Box... it was alright I guess. Then Jordan and I played some co-op campaigns and beat them pretty effortlessly. (Dead Air and No Mercy)

---

No Mercy: Versus

So here comes the Lame and Stupid part...

AlNeezo11- Meh- Bill

NeeKiller- Uri- Zoey

Baconautor- John- Francis

Baconautor(1)- Oz- Louis

Level 1:

We made it out of the apartments just like we normally do, relatively unscratched and unharmed. We walked out into the street and tossed a pipe bomb. Cleared the streets. We go through the back rooms and just as we are going outside... I toss a molotov... but am pushed by someone jumping out of the window. And I throw the 'tov into a wall. Oz and I got stuck. Behind a wall of flames. Just as wee get outside, I run towards teh subway, along with John. But Oz is Smoked back pretty far and John is pinned. I shoot the hunter off, but the body lands on the car and sets off the alarm. Stupid stupid stupid!!! I start down to the safehouse, assuming Uri will save Oz as he's standing right next to him. However, Uri gets pinned... John gets swarmed... I get boomed... and Oz dies. Somehow, I managed to heal up in the safehouse and rescue the other two. Score: 702 (LAME)

But, we redeemed ourselves... sort of. Francis ran downstairs immediately and I smoked him. The only person downstairs with him gets pinned... and the two people still upstairs get boomed. They save the pinned person (Zoey) and then rescue Francis, who I incapped myself thank you very much. They made it downstairs to the kitchen, where their fates were sealed. It was over once they reached the giant hole as Louis had died and Francis was incapped. We killed them all before they left the apartments. Score: 29

Level 2:

A much better showing thank you very much. We made it through relatively easily. However, I saw the Witch and while my team was horded... I shot it on impulse. (It was in the middle of a mandatory passage subway train). I got incapped instantly, if you know how the Witch works... and had about 30 health by the time anyone actually shot it off me. My fault, my stupidity. But the rest of the time we were pretty epic, killing the Tank rapidly or more so... he was so stupid he stayed in one spot and tried to throw rocks at us, while he was on fire. He died. We ran through the last part with some ease, which was a nice change of pace for us. UNTIL SOMEONE SHOT THE CAR! Who did it? I dunno. I just know it wasn't me. Score: 1295

Again, they stunk. One dude quit, I think. Well they made it to the station where we jumped, smoked, and boomed them simutaneously... and then another guy quit, leaving two. We incap one... and then he dies. They make it to the actual subway tracks and Uri ingeniously smokes a guy towards the Witch. Intelligently, the guy (I think it was godinme777) shot at Uri hoping to kill him. Got the Witch, killed Uri, and was killed by the Witch. Same spot as it was for me. Ha ha ha ha!!! Two guys left... We boom them, and incap them at the same time. One more guy leaves, leaving godinme777. Score: 36

(Oh ya, during this level they continuously tried to vote us out of the game. A "Kick Baconautor" vote was voted down fast, followed ten seconds later by a "Kick AlNeezo11" vote, voted down too, and then I laughed and told Uri he was next... lo and behold "Kick NeeKiller" followed, and was again voted down. We were all like, are they stupid or something?)

Level 3:

At this point we're expecting a normal end to our game: where the final guy quits. However, he is joined by SHAWN WAN. So, I guess it gave him some confidence. Later on through our turn two more joined up, which ended our hastily made remarks. The Tank spawned once we left the diner, and I tried to draw him towards the gas station... he didn't follow me. So I just killed a ton of zombies, then ran up and helped finish the Tank. Oz got incapped, however, since the Tank focussed exclusively on him. Dumb Tank. We hopped up the lift and got into the ammo room. The rest was relatively smooth sailing... until the tank room. We usually head to the side room with its manhole and jump down at the same time. However, Oz fell into the manhole and I followed to make sure we were all covered. Uri and Jordan (Ya, Jordan was switching in now for John). stayed up top as Jordan healed and got a medpack. Just as Uri was jumping down he got smoked. I tossed a perfect 'tov, which lit the Smoker and killed it... but it was too late for Uri, he was incapped. If he had had about ten health more he may have survived to make it. I tried Uri. We made it through the rest of the level, and got horded at the safehouse. I locked myself inside, healed, and then saved my teammates, who then healed. Score: 761

Alright, SHAWN WAN led to the quit of godinme777 and would have led to me quitting as well. They ran into the parking lot with the gas station... killed our Tank... Jordan, you're the worst Tank, LOL. They then blew up the gas station, hid in the "secret room" above the station, and SHAWN WAN ran out... and into the flames of the gas station. I-D-I-O-T!!! Hunter jumps him, incaps him, and he dies really fast. How much stupider do you get? They make it up to the roof... but not much farther as the rest of them are easily picked off. (During this time godinme777 and one other guy quit). Score: 38

Level 4:

CommittedTEDDY becomes my new archrival for this game. I choose him to hate. I rush outside, and am immediately smoked. Nobody comes out to help me and I lose 50 health. Right outside the safehouse thank you very much. >:( Anyhow, we get upstairs and move out pretty rapidly. We rushed up to the elevator and fought off the horde. I was pinned three times and smoked twice... boomed twice as well. How I lived, and only took about ten damage, I dunno. Inside the elevator we waited for the next surprise... As we exited, there was the Tank. Boom, boom, boom. He throws John off the side (Jordan is in for another person now) incaps me, and incaps Jordan. Uri tries to live but is incapped by a horde, a Smoker, and the Tank. I was a bit ticked. Score: 138

However, I made it my goal to attack and kill CommittedTEDDY. Shawn WAN, the dumbass, was quickly team-killed after some more stupid actions that made him a liability. We weren't doing too hot until they reached the elevator hallway. (SHAWN WAN quit by then.) I smoked then, Jordan pinned them, etc. We did incremental damage (with me focussing on CommittedTEDDY of course) until they barely made it into the elevator. I climbed up the side as the "unspawned" Smoker (since you travel faster if you haven't spawned yet) and when I spawned at the top... I slipped off and fell all the way to the bottom. LAME!!! But, they all died right there at the elevator. Score: 84

Finale:

Here's the STUPID part. I hate quitters, I really do. So I run up the stairs and up the ladders. We make it easily to the room on the roof, asside from the fact I tok fifty damage for intelligently jumpung off the wrong side of the roof. I heal up, and just as I finish... I call in the Chopper. My three teammate all jump off and leavethe room. I'm alone with two controllers: NeeKiller (who died) and AlNeezo11 (who will never quit). So I'm alone, trying to fend off the horde by myself. I do alright, until two Hunters both try pinning me down... and one gets me. Rats!!! I didn;t even bother recording the score it was so bad. It makes me mad when people get all egotistical and think: We're going to win! We're up by 2000 points, there's no way they can do it. So I vote to kick Baconautor, and I don't know how... but I managed to kick him (which kicked Baconautor(1) as well)... Leaving me with my two controllers.

Unlike my dumb comrades, I have seen people score 2000+ points on the last level of No Mercy. And given the skill I have seen from them as Survivors, I wouldn't have doubted that with a lack of Special Infected that they would have scored 2000+ points... So I took it upon myself to at least kill CommittedTEDDY or someone, keeping it to only three at most. It was a hard fight as I could only send one Special Infected at a time after them, and they all ganged the Tank and killed it within seconds. Well, to hop on my high-horse I did pretty well. I did smoke Louis (CommittedTEDDY) for 20 damage, and incapped Bill with the Tank, but the real genius showed when I incapped Francis. I chased Francis to a remote corner of the roof with the Tank, and incapped him in a corner. I chased Bill for a bit, but then got killed. Bill rescued Francis and ran back to the room in the middle. Francis stayed to heal up. He was really close to the helipad, and ran up when the helicopter showed up. I Smoked him (with green health) as AlNeezo11, then NeeKiller spawned as the Tank... right under the helicopter. CommittedTEDDY jumped out of the helicopter to save Francis, but guess who was right behind him... the TANK. I shot him into the wall, and chased him down until he got incapped... Only two people survived!!! And I was working all alone my friends... All alone.

We won: 3090 to 935

Mwah ha ha ha ha!!! Mess with the best and you go down like the rest.

MOVIES FTW

2009-04-01T11:49:00.002-04:00

Though these guys appear to SUCK at Left 4 Dead, this movie is still REALLY funny.

I love the epic fail at 2:13
Also, the smoke at 2:20 is almost identical to what happened to Jordan when we played Expert that one time, and won.
I would die the same way Bill dies at 2:47... I always say that.

APRIL!

2009-04-01T11:14:00.004-04:00

Hey guys, it's April! Only a few weeks of school left, but I digress. TO L4D!

Last night was mayhem, we started at around 11:20 pm, ha ha. So Jordan and Uri fought over NeeKiller, but Uri was more mature and gave up the fight. Way to show him up Uri. And I finally got some batteries (thanks John) for my controller. I need to buy some more, or there'll be no more Left 4 Dead! LES GASPOS!!!

Francis: "I say we just do it."

AlNeezo11- Me (who else?) - Francis
NeeKiller- Jordan- Bill (Long story short: He called Francis, I got Francis, and he was too late to get anybody besides Bill, who he hates.)
Baconautor- Uri- Louis
Baconautor(1)- John- Zoey

Blood Harvest: Versus

A typical Awesome-Squad victory... you'll see the pattern.

Level 1:
We ran super fast, as is typical in Blood Harvest 1... and we made it through relatively unharmed... until the end, where I ran into the safehouse alone to heal up and left my team behind. I usually do, it's nothing special. Score: 1092

They weren't so lucky. At the begining of the level, someone was smoked back towards the starting camp area... and then someone was forced off the cliff. Another person came to help, but was shoved off. Two people just hung there... someone was already dead, and the final person was pinned. I laughed so hard at the fact they made it about 10 feet... and then fell to their deaths. Score: 14 (LOL!) I did 495 damage to survivors. I also got FIVE Hunter jumps in ONE life, 3 were Francis 2 were Zoey.

Level 2:
Much more epic than level 1. (Have you ever noticed how Louis says "RELOADIN?" It's pretty funny!) So we made it pretty far before we ran into the Tank... and when we did we were at the train yard. The Tank followed me into a corner, but for some reason I was able to just run right past him. Lame Tank. Though John had low health, we made it fairly quickly to the safehouse from there. We healed up inside, as is our custom... and I stood in the door... and it closed on me.. I WAS STUCK! Stupid door... so I opened it again. Jeez, that hurts when a door is closed on you, especially giant heavy-duty metal doors! Score: 1116 (Me? I got the most kills: 119)

Has anybody noticed we usually score 111?

During their turn, two members quit leaving Amitch2744 all alone, but he went for it. At the bottom of the starting stairwell a Boomer jumped down and was blown to pieces. Jordan, in all his intellect, was pretty impressed. "That was a GREAT boom by the Smoker..." Naturally, I gave him crap about it. "Ya, the Smoker is great at booming Jordan." Anyhow, when Amitch made it to the room with the alarmed door, he refused to open it for a good five minutes or so. So we just kept attacking for fun. We assumed he was hoping someone would join, but then changed our opinion to the idea he didn't know how to OPEN a door. Eventually he opend the door and we threw him a party. Unfortunately, I got really sick and threw up all over Zoey and Louis. The party animals followed up and incapped someone... When all four of us were dead I was stoked: "Hey, we're all dead! Horray!" Anyhow, when he made it to the train yard we killed him... and it was round over (NPCs don't count in Versus). Score: 77 (Not bad, considering I boomed all four of them about 3 times)

Level 3:
It was an epic race to the finish! We all ran at full speed to see whole would make it to the safehouse first. I made it to the train-handle first and moved the train... but I got smoked and Jordan saved me... barely. But John and Uri ran ahead, up the fallen bridge. Uri got stuck with a zed and John won the race to the safehouse. Uri followed closely behind, and then somehow I made it up next. Jordan was all like: "If I didn't save you I wouldn't have come in last." I replied: "If you didn't save me you would have come in last, as you would have been third... and there would have been no FOURTH." Jeez Jordan, get with the program! The most surprising aspect was that John laid low the whole time... with Uri up front almost the whole time... and at the last second, as Uri raced me to the handlebar... John crept into position to take the lead... SNEAKY BASTARD!!! LOL. Anyhow, we all survived... but when we got to the safehouse... Uri ran outside... and GOT INCAPPED RIGHT OUTSIDE THE DOOR BY A ZOMBIE!!! LOL... And then we closed the door on him... and then saved him later after laughing a lot-> Score: 1496

Amitch quit.

As I said, a typical ending... the Awesome-Squad kicks so much butt that they force the opponents to quit... EVEN IN BLOOD HARVEST!!!

Does Anyone Remember This Glitch? I Remember When I Found It... John Was Yelling At Me To Drop The Canister, So When I Got Inside... I Dropped It... And Ironically It Landed On Him... He Meant For Me To Get Rid Of It BEFORE We Entered... Cuz He Already Knew About It!!! LOL!

Last Night

2009-03-31T12:39:00.011-04:00

Last night was nothing special at all. Two rounds of L4D with one ending in its typical style: they quit.

Uri was late, and he almost ruined our plans to work together. Thanks Uri.
AND my batteries were low, so my controller would randomly stop working and disconnect! NOES!!! And nobody had batteries to replace them. MEGA-FROWN...

AlNeezo11- Me- Zoey
NeeKiller- Jordan- Francis
Baconautor- John- Bill
Bacon(1)- Uri- Louis

No Mercy: Versus

In level one I got 107 kills (the most of course) with the shotty. And we all made it to the Safehouse... During the level Jordan punched two hunters at the same time... and killed them both! Two hunters, one punch! It was pretty sick. Score: 1112

We rocked them, and they got out to the road and we killed them all... nobody on their team survived. I had this epic boom where I jumped from the roof, into the alley, and they shot me... spilling bile over all four of them! Mwah ha ha ha ha!!! Score: 68

But Wait There's More!!! Before they quit on level two (at the start) we found out we were robbed of four points in the total score!!! We went from scoring 1112 to having only 1008!!! What the heck!? Anyhow, they quit in the face of our awesomeness... a fate we're used to by now.

ROUND 2:

No Mercy: Versus

Same characters, same players...

This round was much more epic than the previous round... believe me. We played against this guy, Spaghettidinner, and I gave him crap about his name the whole time... while focussing all my attacks on him... just 'cuz I liked his name. Anywho, we fight brilliantly through the apartments, and then we suck in the alley... no lie I think we all got jumped and/or smoked at least once in the alley. John got hurt from the flaming barrel, awkwardly... And so we fought our way to the street. Here's the kicker: I was using an UZI!!! Yup, no shotgun this time... and I ran out of ammo before we even reached the police car with the second pistol. Great. But the duel pistols worked out for me. We all made it to the safehouse and here is the serious kicker: SCORE: 1112!!! I am not lying, we scored the exact same amount!!!

This time the opponents were actually partly competent... at least for the most part. They moved slowly through the apartments, with us raking on the damage. They had used all their med packs, minus one person, when they reached the room with the medpack inside. They slowly made it to the car, with the alarm, and SET IT OFF!!! Mwah ha ha ha!!! That sealed their fate. One person, I believe it was Spaghettidinner, ran to the safehouse, healed, and came back out... One person was still alive by then and was running for it... But Jordan jumped Spaghettidinner and got the Lamb 2 Slaughter achievement (thanks Jordan!) and Bill was taken care of by the Smoker. So they all died outside the safehouse, LOL. Score: 93

Level 2:

We all did fairly well into the subway... but when we made it into the giant basement, I got smoked, and Jordan startled the witch... I tried to save Jordan but I couldn't move. Luckily, John Field had a Hunting Rifle and sniped me free. Nice shot. And we barely rescued Jordan. The swarm upstairs hit us hard and we all took tremendous damage. But we healed up and moved on upstairs. When I ran down the stairs, the boomer was standing randomly right there at the corner... Somehow, before he even got a chance to puke, I blasted him... FASTEST REFLEX EVER!!! And to top it off, nobody was boomed, not even me. EPIC FAIL. When we finally made it outside Jordan and I ran up ahead, but Uri kept getting pinned... until they both got boomed. Jordan and I ran back to help... But then I started to get smoked each time I moved... THEN the car alarm went off... MY GOODNESS! But we all made it inside, somehow. Score: 1378

Unfortunately for them, none of them made it to the safehouse. LOL. It was almost so bad that I laughed. They barely made it to the subway trains... and only had thre medpacks left by then!!! One guy intelligently ran ahead alone, abandoning his teammates... and he got pinned and killed easily. As the other three entered the large basement, we gave them a hard time. We didn't kill them all until they made it upstairs, and they didn't even get to open the door. Mwah ha ha ha!!! Score: 189

Level 3:

This level was bad for us... But we still did alright. We struggled to try and break open the large door, but ended up using the lift. We started taking a lot of damage, and nobody seemed to ever help me when I got pinned... So I was in the orange the whole time. When we made it inside the ammo room upstairs we constantly were attacked by hunters, where the heck did they all come from!? GOODNESS!!! So we barely made it into the warehouse, even though I threw a pipebomb inside before entering (I usually do to clear the room) there were still a ton of evil zeds!!! I hate them so much. (Dude, my mom's all like: "Why do you love Zombies so much? What redeeming value is there in being obsessed with zombies?" and then I laugh each time she asks me and answer: "I HATE zombies, but I LOVE to KILL them!!! The redeeming value is that I'm saving and protecting the world from an immoral evil!!!") Anyhow, The Tank spawns and freakin' owns Uri (threw the lift at him) and punches me (now I'm red...) I run, and Jordan turns to shoot it. He incaps Jordan. As I run, I get pinned... and Jordan somehow shoots it off me. I have like, 7 health now. In that time John got incapped. I was all alone, with 7 health. But the Molotov I threw must have finished the Tank off, as well as the constant pistol fire. I was about to be smoked, but Uri killed it. I was healing at the time the Tank died. I then revived Jordan, Uri, and the John. Somehow... the forklift that fell on Uri glitched him. He was stuck in one spot for a minute, then teleported on top of my head, and the forklift disappeared! It was strange. We made it to the sewer, where Uri died and John Field failed (again) to get the CROWNED achievement. LOL! But I ran ahead of the rest and got to the safehouse, and when Jordan entered he had 1 health!!! And the smoker stupidly runs in and incaps him. I laughed, and then rescued Jordan, who healed a bit. 3 Alive. Score: 752

However, we did better than they did. My favorite part was when Jordan smoked Francis (then an NPC) out the ammo room window and I stood in front of him as the Boomer. Yup, they shot to save him and killed me. He was swarmed so fast it was HISTARICAL!!! He died in like, ten seconds. They made it to the area with all the fuel tanks, but they were red and orange. So we got a tank and incapped the freaks, and that was it. A pretty simple task that perfectly executed. Score: 62

Level 4:

Here is where everything turned south. We failed to work together and the Tank just constantly wrecked us. John went up to the Witch to try and get a headshot, and Jordan starts shooting it! John gets all ticked, and Jordan get incapped. I'm so busy laughing I almost forgot to save Jordan! LOL! But we got him and made it up the hall. Suddenly, a horde strikes and swarms down the hall behind us. Jordan, Francis with an Auto-Shotgun, turns around and is all like "Oh my God! Here they come! There's so many of them!" He pulls and holds the trigger, and about fifty zombies die in about ten shots. Yup, absolutely WAXED!!! We survive into the elevator, and Jordan is smoked and the door closes on the tongue, but he is still stuck. It was weird. When we reached the top and the elevator stopped, a dead body suddenly floated through the floor and into the elevator. It was strange. Gotta love game physics (DAMN GAME PHYSICS!!! I boom and there was a tension wire in the way, so it blocked by bile! DAMMIT!!!)... Well we get out and the Tank appears. Incaps one, incaps two... Hits me. I'm in the red. I sneak behind the elevator to heal. Now I have 85 health, and come out to shoot the Tank... He hits me into a wall, and I get incapped. DAMN GLITCHES!!! I went from 85 health to 97 incapped... Darn it. Of course, he destroyed our last man. Score: 111 (Lame)

Our turn: I vow to kill Spaghettidinner for the sole fact I want to. So each time I attack I made a conscious effort to try and get him. But a lot of times I just hit Zoey instead. I just keep hunting and pouncing the losers, but they freakin' still live!!! I did 1235 damage as the Hunter alone that round!!! It was pretty sick if you ask me. They slowly made it up to the elevator, before that one guy got hit by the Witch, and I laughed. Anyhow, when they reached the roof I was the Tank, mwah ha ha! I took the power generator in front of the elevator door and threw it inside, incapping two. I got 'toved and killed, but that hurt them a lot. One person ran ahead, and was easily disposed of. The last three almost made it to the safhouse, but at the final corner we boomed them and killed them all, since they had all been incapped twice. (Funny story, Oz comes in for a few minutes to watch us. I had done so much damage to the Survivors as the Tank, that when I spawned as a Hunter, I ran into the elevator whilest the were reviing two members and ran through Zoey, beat on her, and incapped her in one fell swoop. Ha ha! Take that! But then stupid Spaghettidinner killed me, how ironic.) Score: 138

Finale:

This was probably one of the biggest EPIC FAILS in my Left 4 Dead arsenal. We fight our way to the top, but in the upper hallway, John sees the FINAL Witch and creeps up on it, but then Jordan says "On the count of three... 1, 2, 3!" And opens fire, naturally it incaps Jordan. Weirdo. John gets all mad at Jordan again, I was surprised he didn't headshot Jordan... LOL. We make it to the roof and seem to struggle with our health as the hordes come. But we somehow manage to beat the first Tank. However, the second Tank killed us all. I was one of the last two running, and I had green health. I got stuck with a zombie pounding my back (I really hate that tribute in the game, that you STOP when hit from behind. Ya, you'd naturally be slowed a little bit, but not THAT much! It makes running impossible!!!) and the Tank got me. Yellow... So I tried running, he hits me into a corner. I know if I unload a clip into him he'd die (he had been shot so many times he'd HAVE to die!) So I begin, and lo and behold I have three shots, and start reloading. I drop the F-bomb and get slashed across the face, and get incapped. The last guy gets smoked and its over. Score: (Failure) 198

I'm pissed now and will stop at nothing to stop Spaghettidinner, I even tell my teammates to focus solely on him! "Do not let Spaghettidinner live guys!" I freakin' get ready for the throwdown!!! I get into the old Auto-Kill Smoker spot on the roof and get ready. I smoke Zoey, and she gets stuck on the ladder, DARN!!! They save her, and are quick to kill me... I noticed that the Smoker moves WAY slower after he's been shot... it's true, pay attention next time you're running away with the Smoker and get shot, you slow down. NO LIE. Or maybe it's my X-Box smiting me again... DARN YOU X-BOX!!! Anywho, we attack, and attack, and get them all into the red and boom them. I'm all like, SWEET! We can do this! But they all get revived and healed! I'm the Tank, and they freakin' destroy me in like, twenty seconds! When I spawned, I got stuck in some area and couldn't move (anothe glitch? or just pooer placement of the Tank?)... So I lost 50% health immediately due to that!!! DARN YOU L4D!!! But when they were running I saw Spaghettidinner limping his way up the ramp, yellow... I screamed: "KILL SPAGHETTIDINNER!!! KILL HIM!!!" And when I had spawned, they were all inside the Helicopter... DARN IT!!! HE LIVED!!! Score: 1680

Final Score:
Us- 3537
Them- 2069

Ya, we won again. Score one for the awesome-squad!!!

Ya, so my strategy worked. Every once in a while I'd switch between NeeKiller and AlNeezo11... But most of the time I was NeeKiller...

So AlNeezo11 wasn't "healed" ever, since he was idle the whole time, until the last level. ;)
And NeeKiller got CROWNED. It was a good time... good time....

2009-03-28T02:50:00.000-04:00

AlNeezo11: Me- Bill

NeeKiller: Jordan Geenlee- Francis

Baconautor: Uri Frazier- Zoey

Baconautor(1): John Field- Louis

(Later, Uri is replaced by Jon Oz, and then Uri replaces Jordan.)

No Mercy: Versus

Starts off like most of our games together-> Survivors, thinking we're gonna kick ass.

I use the shotgun in the first level, I think that since most of the level is close quarters and doesn't eat up ammo that it's the best choice. Uri and John had uzis, that's ok. It's good to mix it up.

Today we went down the stairs and waxed everything until the giant hole. I jumped down, and the rest followed, and we got boomed. Typical. We all made it to the street, where I got smoked time and time again. I threw the pipebomb to rid the streets of zeds (zombies). We normally go through the building and we did. We made it through relatively unharmed, and came out the other side. Like I normally do, I ran for the safehouse as the last three fought off some special infected. I cleared the lower levels for my teammates and we scored freakin' 190 points for the health bonus alone (1160 total points for the first round)!

The other team, well, though they had four players... they sucked. One person tried to jump off the edge, one person tried to save them but was pushed over the edge, one person ran down the stairs, was jumped, and then killed... and while the last person was lifting their teammates off the edge I pounced him. They scored a measly 5 points in the first level, and didn't make it off the roof. OUCH!

Level 2:

How we all made it, I don't know. After the first subway train we all got boomed, and were caught in confusion... and left like, one person behind. We all ran back though, to make sure he was OK. I forgot ammo, but luckily there were new guns on the table. Naturally I grabbed the Assault Rifle. The only one who didn't was Jordan (he grabbed the Auto-Shotgun). We ran up the stairs, and somehow the smoker smokes Jordan through the closed door... IT WAS CLOSED!!! So two of us run down and Uri is pinned... I run back up and shoot the Hunter off. How annoying. We run into the chamber, after killing a bunch of zeds, and get boomed! Uri gets pounched again and goes into the red, and I'm swarmed and spray fire... Uri heals and we go upstairs... where I'm brought to the red and heal up. After the epic door showdown I run up the stairs, pop a Hunter with a headshot... and startle the freakin' Witch!!! I'm all alone at the top of the stairs... and the Witch is beating down on me... I have two pistols, but what good will they do me? Luckily, Jordan pops around the corner (like four seconds later) and drills some shels into her throat. I went from 80 health, to 43 incapped damage... Three or four more hits from the witch and I would have died. Jordan healed me, thankfully, and we all finished the level.

During their turn some idiot ran solo to the door, and Uri jumped him, killed him, and moved on. I boomed them in the giant chamber and that sealed their fate. They raked up so much damage they were all yellow or red... without medpacks. They died quickly after. Right, we scored 1025 and they scored 73, barely.

Level 3:

This round was embarrassing... We barely got out of the diner and up the lift... (We use the lift nowadays as the "door" breaks so much slower than it used to and is a waste of our time) when we're attacked! Jordan is smoked off and I save him... but we both lose a lot of health. When we rendezvous inside the building, we're boomed and horded... and without warning (no music or vibration) the Tank appears and kills one of us off... We all run, but are killed in the parking lot.

They were just as bad...

One guy ran ahead, alone. As he runs to the lift he startles the witch, but his teammates are just entering the diner! Stupid man. Three on four. We give them a hard time on the lift, and kill one of them before they get to the top. John jumps Bill and I boom everybody, and they all die... almost... Bill survives and runs into the warehouse room somehow, and is followed by Zoey... How she lived I dunno, she was and NPC... Jordan was the Tank and killed them off.

Score: 49 to 44, us

Level 4:

We ran through Round 4 really quickly. Though I got jumped once and smoked... and boomed... we all made it to the elevator relatively quickly. We did what we normally do: Hide in the corner behind the ammo cart and beat down... with me standing on top unloading my favorite Assault Rifle into the heads of the zombies... We rush into the elevator ("Game Over Man!"- Zoey) and right when the door opens, there's the boomer. I blow it up, and two people get boomed... but no zombies enter the elevator... weird. The witch is outside, and Oz goes up to startle it... but two fast auto shots from Francis were enough to kill it almost instantly. It was a fast and easy kill. We struggled to the safehouse and scored 1380 points.

The stupid freerider who does things on his own ran all the way to the elevator, before his team even finished the large room downstairs. He starts it up and is pinned, by yours truly of course, and killed easily. The final three are caught in the stairwell... and when they exit Jordan booms them. Oz and I jump two and the Smoker finished off the final survivor. GAME OVER MAN!!!! (Again, they barely score 66 points.)

Finale:

We don't care anymore, they can't win. We run up the ladders, and I'm smoked... but I live... barely. I have about 50 health, and heal up... We call in the chopper and hold off the horde. Though the Tank did hurt us A LOT, we managed to kill it each time and escape. All four of us made it out alice for 2104 points.

Our opponents were not so lucky. After failing to try to return to lobby during our turn (3 to 5 vote down) they were forced to play the Rooftop Finale... They all died. They put up a good fight, but Oz as the Tank sealed their fate. They scored 196 points... the most all game.

The final tally was 5713 to 372... Us of course.

At least this time the opposition didn't quit during level two or three... but poor Uri ddn't finish the level with perfect health. (Once, Uri was Bill and during a versus match he wasn't hit once during the Finale. He literally ended the level with 100 health... it was pretty amazing.)

Good night folks,

If you have played Left 4 Dead you know that numbers play a nice factor in versus mode. Four on Four is the best, three on four is a bit skewed, and two on four is outrageous...

Well me and my friend Jon Oz decided we wanted to play Left 4 Dead, maybe we'd get some decent teammates... we were wrong, seriously wrong.

Blood Harvest: Versus
AlNeezo11- Me
NeeKiller- Jon Oz

Well, we started as the zombies, and only Oz and I made it to the safehouse. Our teammates were so bad that they before the bridge! Oz and I barely made it to the railway. Score: CRAP.
All four of the other team made it, so we were down by about 850 right from the start. Yee-haw.

So the next level we want to see if our team can actually accomplish something. And, lo and behold, I made it to the safehouse with all my teammates. Score: OK
Three of our opponents made it into the safehouse, I think Oz was the only one to kill anybody. So we made up like, 200 points. Now we're down about 700 points.

The Third level stunk, our teammates quit almost immediately, leaving Oz and I to finish the campaign alone. We got tagged about halfway through and got about 73 points as Oz left me alone and ran, making it about five feet.
Here comes the awesome part, they make it to the warehouse, and since it's two on four, they have four human players and we only have two special infected. Right when they leave the warehouse I get the TANK. I run up and incap this one loser who had been attacked by Oz so very many unsuccessful times and was in orange health. Bam, down. Three to go. I punch one player into a corner and incap him, two left. One person revives the first guy and they run back towards the warehouse. I re-incapacitate the first guy and throw a car at Zoey, who was running back to the 'house. Incapped. The final guy, I think Francis, runs outside the warehouse door and I drill him with the car, bingo! All four are incapped. And guess what? I got the All 4 Dead gamer achievement. :)

Alright, they scored 74, one more point than we did.

Fourth of five rounds: Amazingly, me and Oz make it to the safehouse... though our NPCs died outside...
The real amazing part is that one of their members intelligently runs out on his own, and we kill him... And then the final three get caught up in their fight and slowly, but surely die. Actually, one person ran at the end and made it to the safehouse. We made up about 120 point... Down by nearly 600 points.

Final round: we're nearly sure that our adversaries would all make it to the rescue vehicle and that at least one NPC would die. If we didn't get all four of us in the rescue vehicle we would surely lose...

Part 1: Our opponents have a strangler, he quits... now it is three on two. Odds are still highly against us. THey rampage through the level and make it to the farmhouse: nearly unscratched. We're doomed.
Just as it all seems lost, we start smoking and dragging survivors outside... Booming them and jumping them when they're alone. We put small amounts of damage on them and as they run back INTO the house, Oz becomes the TANK. He incaps one or two of them and they waste the remnants of health packs, minus like three.
Part 2: The rescue vehicle arrives, but before it opens to allow entry, I, as the tank of course, toss a large concrete slate (somehow) at Francis and incap him. They try to save him, and I die. I jump the "savior" (Louis) and pin him next to the vehicle, and when I'm killed he goes straight into the armored car. 3 Survivors make it out... Oz and I are pumped, if all four of us make it then we could-
Part 3: We walk outside, and start getting pummeled. We barely make it to the cornfield alive. Oz and I are both yellow, though the NPCs somehow were still green. AWKWARD. We struggle along through the field and eventually reach the farmhouse.
Part 4: Here is the final kicker: we heal up at the farmhouse, and use up two medpacks. We call in the rescue, and go upstairs. The NPCs follow. I'm boomed, and at the same time Louis is jumped and Oz is smoked out the window. Somehow, I sprayed all the zombies around me and saved Louis (Francis was boomed too). We all ran outside and saved Oz, who had about 30 health left. He heals up and the Tank music starts. We run through the house, and though he pounded on Louis a few times we manahed to avoid serious disaster... Louis, the stupid NPC, heals. We hold out until the next Tank, who beats on Francis this time. I don't know how but Francis had no medpack and only Oz and I had ones left... Francis had about 30 health left as the thrid and final Tank approached... I healed him up and risked being pelted by concrete... Luckily the giant stone missed and Francis and I ran through the house and Molotoved that bastard. The final Tank dies and the horde comes, as well as the rescue vehicle...
Finale: We're running to the rescue vehicle and as we're about to enter Francis is horded and boomed. His health drops so fast he enters yellow in about five seconds... If I hadn't healed him he'd be incapped. Oz is inside the armored van and Louis is helping me beat the zombies off Francis. Somehow, all four of us made it into the car... and all but Francis had green health.

To wrap this game up:
We score a huge bonus, and end up outscoring them for the thrid time... And we outscored them enough to WIN!!! We WON by about 75 points!!! Can you believe that? A serious come-from-behind, odd stacked against you story. Ahh... The Sweet Smell of Victory!!!

It was truly amazing, and will go down as one of my favorite Left 4 Dead games ever... And my best Tank performance!!! BY FAR!!!

Blog 4 Dead

Welcome to Blog 4 Dead, my Left 4 Dead blog.
Ya, I know it's not creative but I felt a sudden urge to blog my Left 4 Dead experiences. And in my haste, I couldn't come up with a creative blog name.

In this blog I will chronicle my Left 4 Dead games: stats, gameplay, experiences, the works.

Please expect a biased and somewhat sarcastic opinion on all games, and some of my memories may be a bit exaggerated. Nonetheless, I hope you enjoy this.

Oh ya, all my Left 4 Dead games are on the X-Box 360, what a sweet system!
