Looks like they just patched it.

Fixed several issues with matchmaking and password protected servers
Tuned matchmaking to provide better search results
Fixed bug where servers could stay reserved by matchmaking forever
Performance optimizations and fixes to networking layer
Fixed issue where game could cause Steam executable to use too much CPU
Fixed music resetting when changing video settings
Fixed some issues with not being able to chat and/or connect to other users

Gonna try it now, hope it works.

The intensity this game brings to the table is unbelievable. We stopped playing half an hour ago and I still haven't come down off the adrenalin. The demo only contains the first two maps (of five) of the first (of five) campaigns in the final product. I cannot fucking wait.

Word on the street is you can still put "openserverbrowser" in the console and get a normal-style server browser.

That is so, but it's hardly an acceptable fix.

I was just messing with the review build for the last six hours or so, and it inspired me to write kind of a rant.

Wait, is that the ETA for the game itself or just the download?

In your article you say you love/hate/are ambivalent toward zombies.

I concur.

Everyone beyond that gets filed under "that thing what takes the garbage away" or "those human-resembling fuckers who don't know to stand to the right on an escalator so people with shit to do can keep moving." Wouldn't it be grand if I could just shoot all of you in the head with a thirty-aught-six whenever you get in the way?

I'd be hesitant to publish things like this.  Tends to make people think that, you know, you want to run around shooting people.

The rest is... inspiring?

...but he probably DOES. For that matter, who here doesn't?

I'm aware that I'm unhelpful.

Listen, man.  Everybody wants to run around and shoot people.  In the heart.  Flay off their skin.  Drag them into the street.  Bathe naked in their blood.  Masturbate with a cheese grater.  Screaming with laughter all the while.

But we don't talk about it.

The demo will expire when the game is released. That's why there's that days amount.

I'm going to try it because the gameplay really, really interests me, but I can't commit a buy yet because frankly I loathe zombie games/movies/books/radio plays/operas. It'll need to be awesome enough to counteract its setting.

I'd agree if this were a 1up feature, but it's just part of his blog, and who cares what anyone writes on their blog?  I'm too happy to see it actually updated to complain about it, even if he talked about killing me personally.

::(:  I dunno, the gameplay seems to be pretty zombie-centric, I don't see how that could counteract your ridiculous zombie prejudice at all.

What the hell. I love this game. How did that happen.

Next thing you know I'm going to drink beer and smoke pot and move in with a guy named Sparkles Blue.

Out of sheer curiosity, I checked out the 360 demo too. It looks so much worse. I was surprised at how badly it looked in comparison. I might check out the PS3 version as well.

Alright, this is basically "Leeroy Jenkins: The Game". That said, I still love it. I just spent like two hours unsuccessfully trying to beat Expert with random people and I'm still not sick of it. There were always at least two hordes and two bosses in the first building and we were lucky if we even made it out in the streets.
