TELETUBBY ZOMBIES: MOST DISTURBING L4D MOD

September 21, 2009


Did you watch the Teletubbies growing up? Or were you like me and you were already an adult when this show first aired? If an adult already, did you watch this show in horror, not understanding how anyone else could watch this and not get creeped out? What was up with all the bouncing anyway? Some things I just won’t understand.

If you were like me and did indeed get creeped out, do not play the video above. It could give you nightmares, or at the very least, bring back bad memories you thought you had once forgotten. You see, someone decided it would be a good idea to add Teletubby Zombies to the game Left 4 Dead. As if the bloody undead and screaming witches clawing at your face wasn’t enough, now you have to deal with colorfully bouncing demons from the depths of hell. Watch at your own risk. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

VALVE ANNOUNCES LEFT 4 DEAD 2: AWAKENS GAMERS INNER HITLER

June 8, 2009


Left 4 Dead 2 was recently announced at E3, and well.. all hell broke loose I guess you could say. If by hell you mean a 10,000 + strong army of boycotters. I’m really surprised to see that Valve did not see this backlash coming. Of all developers in the world, Valve knows and understands their audience better than anybody. They have had some of the most hardcore fans any developer could ever ask for. Maybe even too hardcore. But I think it’s understandable. Valve makes superior games which makes them easy to sell because let’s face it, not many developers can make a well polished, quality title quite like Valve. That is, until Left 4 Dead came along.

All was well at first, but then complaints started to arise. For me, it was mainly because there wasn’t enough campaigns to play through. “Only 4 campaigns Valve? Ahhhh.. no worries! It’s Valve! They’ll put out a couple of patches to improve gameplay, and surely they would at least double the amount of campaigns I can kill Zombies in. Watch.. just watch. They’ll announce all the DLC they will have coming out for Left 4 Dead at E3.”

Wait.. what? Left 4 Dead 2 was announced instead!?

And that’s when 10,000 + Left 4 Dead fans’ inner Hitler came to the forefront, and the video above is what happens when a developer lets down some of the most hardcore.

And if you have not tried out this game yet, I do have to admit it’s a pretty awesome game to play, but I’m done with it now and I have it on sale at Glyde.com. It’s cheaper than buying it used from GameStop so get it before someone else does. I just put it up.

UPDATE from Valve: ‘Ton’ of content makes Left 4 Dead 2 too big to be DLC…
