I has a mic! (Actually it's on a webcam, but it works pretty well.)
I've been using it w/ my friend to play Magicka, with hilarious results.

Online games + voice chat is always a good combination.

Valve's asking players to test Left 4 Dead 2's Cold Stream campaign. If 20,000 players finish it by Sunday, they'll release the Dead Air campaign early!

Earlier this week, Valve issued a challenge to the Left 4 Dead 2 community: if 20,000 players beat the in-development "Cold Stream" campaign by Sunday, they'd get the re-release of "Dead Air" early. That goal was met in about four hours.

That means Left 4 Dead 2 owners will get the tweaked Left 4 Dead campaign early. No later than July 22, Valve says—barring an outbreak of Valve Time, naturally. The developer says its testing and finalizing the "Dead Air" re-release, as it's not yet ready for prime time.

Also interesting is that the Left 4 Dead team says it's "working on and testing a new version of the 'Dark Carnival' finale and some gameplay changes for finales in general." Dark Carnival clearly has its own final quirks, but I'm interested to see what Valve has planned for other finale changes.

I wonder if the Dead Air release will be PC only. And finale changes? Very interesting.

Masa, Shirenu, Stryfe, Pika on the rare occasion of us actually beating this level

Watch in HD to see what we were saying :DDD

notes: I manage to duck a trash can, and apart from the marriage song, I'm all out of Midnight Riders songs for future videos xD

Been playing through L4D2 custom campaigns in alphabetical order (the ones we have) and making notes because we tend to forget which ones were which etc.

Anyway, so far:

2019 - OK! Pretty fast campaign; should be on advanced; anti-climatic ending; Masa iirc had a graphic bug with the walls
25 to Life - OK! Short-ish; should be on advanced
2 evil eyes - seems like we don't have the same version so... deletion period for me
7 Hours Later - frustrating stumbling around in the woods with tons of hordes; a long and challenging campaign even on easy. If you die, there are hardly any closets to get saved from

Finale is difficult (or we haven't found the right strategy yet); Masa had graphic bugs

MORE CAMPAIGN REVIEWS

Blood Tracks: Huge areas in maps, so can be on the heavy side -> laggy. Bots don't always understand the map layout -> get stuck when everyone else is in the safe room lol. The finale is lag hell, with tons of specials spawning. But hey. It's passable.
City 17: Pretty fun! Lots of witches. Advanced means advanced. Not bad lag most of the time. I think our consensus was that this is challenging (on advanced), but in a fun way.
Dam It: Awrite. The finale is challenging and even bitchy at times, we've passed it a few times but it was only easy during the Hunting season mutation :3 (Probably because no spitters or chargers)
Dark Blood: Hoards are HOARDS. A few frustrating bits where they just keep coming and it's a pain to get forward. The finale is just RIDICULOUS, this quite open structure with various levels and constant hordes where you have to collect fricking cans. No matter where you go, even if you try to stick together, you're pretty much screwed. TBH if I deleted this, I wouldn't miss it

Thanks to your hard work a few weeks ago, we are releasing a beta version of Dead Air for Left 4 Dead 2 today. This will be available on the Xbox 360 later this summer as part of the full Cold Stream DLC.

Besides adding melee weapons, we have made some changes to the 4th and 5th maps of the campaign. Give them a few play throughs and let us know what you think. Make sure to try some different strategies – especially in the finale.

We have also tried something new with the Scavenge map in this campaign. I won’t give away the experiment here but it should be interesting to see how people choose to play the map.

Cold Stream and the rest of the Left 4 Dead 1 maps will be out later this summer as part of the Cold Stream DLC.

Hipsters assemble! Play it and let us know what the differences are! I'd love to hear about them.

I managed to beat the Dead Center campaign on Expert last night!!

Nice to play with someone who knows what the hell they're doing. So that's that plus Hard Rain and I think Swamp Fever as campaigns I've passed on Expert. Want to see if I can clear the other two now!
