Played it at the weekend co-op mode on my mates machine. Brilliant fun. Nowt scarier than waking up a Witch though.

Having a Tank land on you comes close for me.

Or when you set off a car alarm in a crowded area...

The 45-50 euros that Steam charged you put me off, but I've noticed the price has dropped to as low as 27 quid on Play.com.

Might get it soon if I figure out if Source runs on my machine!

Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with the flick of the pen they will create enough deposits to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for this would be a happier and better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, let them continue to create money." Josiah Stamp (Governor Bank of England 1928-41)

Left 4 Dead 2 takes place in the South of the USA, beginning in Savannah, eventually reaching New Orleans. There’s four new characters to play, each with back-stories to be hinted at in their conversations. Coach is a high school football coach from the Savannah area, used to leading the kids, comfortable in his life, and perhaps not enamoured by the arrival of a zombie attack. There’s Rochelle, from Cleveland originally, working for a cable news network. She’s producing a segment on this strange story occurring in Savannah, and gets caught up in the events. Ellis is a Southern boy mechanic, an enthusiastic but smart guy with a “Southern flair”. Finally there’s Nick, a gambler and a conman, unsure of his company and cynical about the events.

Not much more info yet beyond a Nov 17 release date.

Yay for E3 being held again and oo shiny factor :)

I'd be up for a L4D game (haven't played it in ages though, so I'll suck!)
Pretty busy atm, but I'm keen to see if I can join if a game gets planned.
