    david Left 4 Dead Zombie & Steam SKD Talk Feb 26th, 2009 2:47:35 am - Subscribe
    My talk with a fellow zombie fan. Here we are talking about the game Left for Dead, for more information on the game go to the website in the link below.

    Creative210: hi its David aka Creative210 from the other night. Thanks for the games there.

    ExGentleman: sure, man. my name is david too

    Creative210: hah, awesome. Thanks for your techs on the maps...no way on beating that map on expert with out your help.
    Creative210: Cheers*

    ExGentleman: yeah, they're all tough on expert. just remember to stick to corners when you think you're gonna be surrounded soon. and try sticking to walls when you're walking

    Creative210 best fuqing idea ever. yea. I usually wonder in the middle for access out of tight situations. but agreed, when there is a hoard coming at you its best to corner and check your angels. I wait for my members to reload, then I blast the shoty.

    ExGentleman: even when you're running into a room/area to clear it out, find the nearest corner, blast your way to it and then camp there to clear the rest. better than just running in blind and you take a lot less damage, if any

    Creative210: Another great idea, whats funny is I personally think 'real life', and I can tell you this I would never camp, but in L4D it's a must...for every 70% you shoot out...the other 30% belongs to camping and exploring.

    ExGentleman: weird, i've thought about it too. my first reaction would be to camp, but the game offers the ability to know the horde is gonna stop coming at some point.
    ExGentleman: in "real life" i'd just fucking run

    Creative210: agreed, what do you think about the sound actions? Good for gamers, bad for real life action? Agreed? Can you imagine a horde coming for you with out warning? I think it would be awesome.

    ExGentleman: It absolutely would make the game harder. It would be cool for Valve to offer a "super expert" mode at some point in a patch that takes out the music cues.

    1-4-1 Zero music all enviromental sounds...perhaps even wildlife giving warnings, birds, deer, surviror screams, etc...they make it too easy for the non zombie mainstream fanatic.

    ExGentleman: how do you do that? can it be reveresed easily?

    ExGentleman: reversed

    Creative210: Nopes, it would be a davidpolanco hack...(my last name is David Polanco) perhaps I can work with a team on this. I have experience in Half Life 2 SKD...that would be awesome if they released an SDK for L4D I would work hard on it.

    ExGentleman: i think they are

    Creative210: I created a map on my condo using HL2 SDK

    ExGentleman: next patch/release from what i've heard. in the spring

    Creative210: Epic. I will polish my skills in HL2 to perpare. I'm a big fan of zombie horror movies. It's nice to give back.

    ExGentleman: same here. seen all the shitty ones. and the good ones. keep me up to date on your progress after the sdk is released

    Creative210: I will Ex. thanks for the help, msg me anytime...my wife and I are expecting so sure things are going to be a little tuffer but I can always make time. If it were possible you would be the only one to shoot me in the head in this really happened. LOL. Your lucky. hah.

    ExGentleman: congrats, man. we'll play again soon

    Creative210: My pleasure, expert only.

    ExGentleman: of course

    My song to Nikki. A song short song...Slick Shoes So Much More.



    Lyrics for the non softcore punk literate.

    quote:
    I see my future in your eyes
    but I never thought I'd know
    what it was to feel this way
    but you've taken that away
    there was no one else like you
    when I first saw your smile
    I never thought it'd be you
    to change my life this way

    but now I'm yours
    and I feel so much more
    I want to be there
    the rest of your life
    but I just can't see
    how I deserve you

    I could not have picked a better
    person to be you

    funny when I had the chance to speak to you
    I fell right to the floor in a wave of insecurities
    I never know why you came to me
    someone people talked about but few would talk to

    and now I'm yours
    and I feel so much more
    I want to be there
    the rest of your life
    but I just can't see
    how I deserve you

    I don't know what to do sometimes
    I just want to be all I can for you now
    I'll be there when you need to be held
    I'll be there when you're tired

    I could not want more than what I have in you what I have in you


    I love you.
