Inappropriate invasions of personal space? WILL THE HORRORS OF THE APOCALYPSE NEVER END?!?
Who Broke the In-Game Economy?
Why are RPG economies so bad? Why are shopkeepers so mercenary, why are the prices so crazy, and why do you always end up a gazillionaire by the end of the game? Can't we just have a sensible balanced economy?
Civilization VI
I'm a very casual fan of the series, but I gave Civilization VI a look to see what was up with this nuclear war simulator.
Shamus Plays LOTRO
As someone who loves Tolkein lore and despises silly MMO quests, this game left me deeply conflicted.
How I Plan To Rule This Dumb Industry
Here is how I'd conquer the game-publishing business. (Hint: NOT by copying EA, 2K, Activision, Take-Two, or Ubisoft.)
This Scene Breaks a Character
Small changes to the animations can have a huge impact on how the audience interprets a scene.
I haven’t seen a metric from Valve for who gets the most heals, but I’ve seen one that says Zoey takes less friendly fire damage. Probably because she’s both smaller and more brightly colored than the other survivors.
So if Zoey takes a bit less damage on average it might end up evening out as far as who gets healed more.
Congrats on getting BoingBoing’d this morning. Not my fault, for reals.
Oh, come on! You guys forget who we are here!! You KNOW Zoey’s getting healed 200% more often than anyone else! Just Google for “l4d zoey nude patch” (er … not that I have).
I’d be interested to see if there’s anything in the versus data for who gets targeted the most and by what.
As soon as I saw this strip, I thought of this ctrl-alt-del: http://www.ctrlaltdel-online.com/comic.php?d=20081117. I’m not sure I want to think about what that says about me.
eMonkey:
It says that you read CAD. So yeah, it says a lot about you.
Yeah, I thought of that CAD comic, too. So true. XD
Uh, I mean, I don’t get it. >.>
I wonder how often The Tank goes after Zoey, as opposed to Francis, Bill, and Louis? Do people hesitate to beat down the 20-year-old girl, or do they instinctively go for the weediest target?
Just Google for “l4d zoey nude patch” (er … not that I have).
I did and sadly it does exist. FFS What is the matter with these people
Interesting fact: I’ve been reading Left 4 Dumb so much that I’m convinced Francis is a total moron at all times, hence resulting in more friendly fire.
Or maybe it’s because that stupid bastard dresses in black in an already dark game, where I don’t really have time to stop and ask “Hey, dude! Are you a zombie?” after every time I hear a funny noise.
The expression on Zoey’s face is priceless: perfect bemusement.
