Would You Like To Play A Game? Left 4 Dead Edition
Boing Boing Gadgets had originally opened up the floor to doing community gaming sessions well before Offworld had launched, but now that it has, I'd like to kick off an official regular weekend group-play feature. Seeing as how it's just dropped and is by all means terribly smart and perfect for actually gaming together, this week's Would You Like To Play A Game?.. err, game will be Valve's Left 4 Dead.
Here's how to play:
Steam: Join the Boing Boing Steam Group to play with us or other Boing Boing readers.
Xbox Live: While we work on getting Xbox Live Gamertags linked off of Boing Boing profile pages, you can leave your own via the comments below. Mine is brandonnn (as with Steam), and the 360 is likely where I'll actually be fighting back the zombie onslaught. BBG's Joel is Joelev, and BBG's Rob and John still may not have fully joined the console era yet. In the meantime, you can check that earlier post for other community IDs.
Just please remember, what we're trying to do is not startle the Witch.

The demo ran great for me for about 10 seconds, then zombies appeared and my machine couldn't take it anymore. I'm sad.

I still can't decide which part of L4D is more enjoyable- versus, or campaign?

I need some smart people to play with me, anyway.

I too have co-opted frieze in as many non-art capacities as is reasonable.

ah! i'd love to play with some people that try and use teamwork! the last few nights of playing have been wrought with uncooperative people that charge off on their own and then yell as they get mobbed. i'll be looking for brandonnn this weekend on live, i'm "atomo84".

A bit off topic, but...could please use your magic blogger-fu to investigate the rumors about a linux port for Steam/Source ?
I can't wait to play this game. Having a bad connection sucks hard.
