it was me but it was more like he was standing on a roof and shooting stuff at random after us asking him to drop down 5 times in a row

sorry mcdohl

the drop-down is one of the most basic tenets of safety

Yeah, bal was mean to me in tf2 and it made me sad. I think he's just an asshole, personally...

I spy check him, and he obviously thinks I spychecked him too long, he yells at me over voice, "I'm not a fuckin' spy, put your medi-gun on and heal me. Stop being a dumb-ass."

See, nobody called for me to drop down out of that thing.  It wasn't until after I had hit the witch.  Unless I was just off in la-la land, which I won't discount.

And later, I thought I could get up the ladder despite all the goo that was around it.

Bah.  Versus mode is for people who like to be dicks to other people.

The goo thing is misleading, and understandable. If you're standing on a table over a puddle, you're fine. But with ladders, stairs, and ramps, the behavior is a bit weirder.

Bah.  Versus mode is for people who like to be dicks to other people.
This I will have to disagree with. Only about as much as TF2 is about being dicks to people wearing different colored uniforms.

Left 4 Dead is, at it's core, knowing when and when not to shoot. Friendly fire does make it a lot different than most action games today. You have to pay attention to not shoot your teammates in the middle of hordes of humanoid zombies, not to shoot the boomer when it's next to you or anyone else, and to make DAMN sure that you are shooting a generic zombie and not a very similar looking wandering witch.

I just don't think you should be so upset about those two incidents when you're just learning the game. I mean, I had people yelling at me for being terrible when I started playing L4D1 too, and I did horrible things like not punch a hunter off of someone standing in front of me and wake up witches and jump off the roof of Mercy Hospital by accident. There's only one way to learn, and that's to get out there and finish that shit up!

After all the shit witches gave me in L4D1, I have found nothing quite as satisfying in L4D2 as taking a chainsaw to one and killing it instantly.

I don't remember this, but it probably happened. I only hope that in the following months you learned that 30 seconds is too long for a spy check.

L4D versus mode is serious business. Don't take it personally if someone yells at you.

If Bal is mean to you, you are:
A) His friend, and should therefore know to take it in stride
B) Legitimately awful at what you are currently doing (and probably continuing to do it after he has offered advice nicely two or three times)

B is the reason I laugh pretty heartily at Bal's reputation as worst human being on the planet.  I wouldn't even put him in the top 5 voiceragers.

Yeah ironically as fun as L4D is, VS mode and Advanced Realism or Expert(Vanilla or Realism) is when everybody has to really sit down and become a serious bad-ass to pull it off.

Luckily L4D2 is a good game and there tends to be amazing fun to be had while doing such a thing.

I've definitely never felt as tense and pressured to perform in any game ever made as these modes. Or as satisfied to pull it off.

That was a good round.

We should try to get some in-house Scavenge going. Full campaigns are a little exhausting, but the bite sized chunks offered by scavenge, and the ability to switch maps constantly, should make for a bit of a different experience.

There is a way to import L4D1 maps (i.e. Crash Course) onto L4D2.

I understand you want to play scavenge for a change, I'm just saying you can get shorter campaigns to work if you really feel the regular-sized ones to be too tiresome. That is, in fact, the point of Crash Course.

Hard Rain puts a couple of good twists on what otherwise would be goddamn boring maps. Needing to conserve health packs is great, as is the rain mechanic. Not to mention the rain in this game is simply beautiful, even with zombie limbs flying through it.
