HAH.

Nice one, really. There's also a Flash version here, with better quality.

Well known US player Surgica1 grouped up with philogl to release a frustian's like server config for L4D2.

I've later become involved in the project by packaging and releasing a couple of version with bugfixes, updates and such.

I've also managed to set up the official google code page where the project is located, so if you want to know more about it just click the link above.

The main object of the config is to balance the game by removing medkits, defibs, special ammo types, reducing the ammounts of item spawns and so on. There are also reduced spawn timers and for all the hardcore l4d2 players, there's an additional "special infected buffs" config that you can enable, which improves some of the abilities of the infected.

Even though there has been some discussion about the actual need of the additional SI improvements, i would reccomend everybody to test out the changes before expressing their opinion.

Many of the teams i've played against were happy with the changes added to the game and it seems like confogl is being accepted well by the community.

I've added the config to all of our servers, and it's reloading automatically, so if you want to try it out without installing it first on your dedicated nest go ahead and use one of these servers :)

Last but not least, the config has a dedicated steam group, which i encourage all of you to join to get updates and to eventually find pcws with people that want to play with the config.

You know they said there will be weather variations on the upcoming title, L4D 2? Remember?

We all were gazing at the sunset in the daylight maps footage we seen.
We also were told weather was gonna affect the infected. The witch will wander around when the sun is up, for example.

But what about rain? Well, from the picture above, it doesnt seem the infected are happy when the weather is bad.

I mean, who is anyway?!

Team Fortress 2 devs sure know how to keep the buzz up. First we get the announcement of a new Sniper Update, then the UI is patched to support future items, and now all this RPG stuff.

After the mentioned update, the internets went all crazy because of kotaku saying that the new features would make our TF2 look a lot more like the classic RPG Series Diablo, using items to differentiate the player's skills.

Then, an impressive Garry's mod mock up was made here, and the minds of the TF2 fans flew higher and higher...

Latest news is the devs have gone so far, that they included little traces in the code of the last update:

//—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—-—--
// TF2 MMO
"TF_MMO_LFG" "Looking For Group"
"TF_MMO_Quest1" "You must kill %s1 %s2 to complete this quest."
"TF_MMO_Monster1" "Boars"
"TF_MMO_Monster2" "Rats"
"TF_MMO_Monster3" "Bats"
"TF_MMO_Monster4" "Wolves"
"TF_MMO_Monster5" "Spiders"

Wouldn't it be amazing to see a MMORPG with the looks of TF2?

A lot of gamers are Nintendo fans, and a lot of Nintendo fans are also Mario Kart fans. That would be the only game i played on the wii, an i admit it's fun.
I also love Team Fortress, as you can guess, so here goes the perfect map if you like these two games!

When you read about these news you always get a little excited, dont you? Well, i do for sure!

We all know Team Fortress 2 is a wondefrul game, but we also all know that the guys at VALVE just cant' stop making it better than it already is.
Yesterday they posted a sneak peak that hinted at some strange pee jar, but it turned out to be a prank for april fool's day.

But today a post on the official Team Fortress blog revealed that they indeed are working on a sniper update (my predictions were correct, yay!), here's the quote from the announcement post:

I bet this one is for the sniper!

(Well played VALVE, this was a nice prank!)

Especially if you have a group of 12 survivors.

It'd be fun to try out, but hey, this totally misses the point of playing an expert campagin, doesn't it?

Uh, and, by the way, good job with the dance party at the end of the video, that one made me laugh :D
