I'd be up for that, but for some reason; everytime I go to purchase the game, I put in all of my billing info; I hit submit and it gets stuck on "Working..."

Are you trying it in steam or in a browser? you try different browsers? When I first tried to buy TF2 off steam, It wouldn't work for me either, I had to use it in my browser. Pre-purchasing L4D, however, was the other way around. I couldn't get any of my browsers to work with it, but ordering it in steam worked. Try all your browsers, install new ones if you need to, and remember to check for steam updates and restart it afterward.

I tried to do it in steam, I suppose I could try it in firefox. Thanks for the idea.

Edit: Thanks, that did the trick. I hope this game is worth the price.

i liked playing it and i will not buy the full version and that is all. sometimes i contribute to the discussion but usually not.

would have been nice to play it with some other people though, probably would've made it better. kind of like RE:CB if that had not been terrible

Yo starts in an hour and a half and none of my boys got it yet, so who's up for playing with me?

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

Would anyone here care to meet up tommorow afternoon / night? I'd love to stay up for the release; but I have to get up at 5am tomorrow for work. As interesting as it makes the day going on two hours of sleep; I'm trying to watch my health a bit more these days.

The Steam page for Left 4 Dead no longer says when it unlocks as far as I can tell and the counter in the Steam menu for the demo went up an hour, did this happen for anybody else? It says 3.1 hours for me. They may have pushed it back an hour. ??

They didn't push it back an hour; it's released at 12:01 EST tonight.

okay just wondering cause my Steam demo thing still says 3 hours and I'm pretty sure they were going to disable the demo when the game went live and it is kinda weird that the demo says it'll last longer than that.

EDIT:
It's out!

Man I preloaded this before the release. My Pre-load went to completion... Game Released, Decrypting Files. It's now been updating for TWO FUCKING HOURS and is only on 9%. (Downloading at 60kb/s) What the fuck kind of update is this and why has nobody else I've asked had it. So much for fucking play at release.

First impressions: the game is even better than what the demo shows. I haven't tried versus yet, but I'll get to that. Game seems harder than demo?

Don't say that :(

Me, Rowain and Esh just played through no mercy.

Verdict so far: fun.

The demo doesn't begin to do this justice. Clearing the mercy hospital and two of us died at the last moment to the third damn tank that popped out. Intense and great fun.

wow local_dunce, 60K/s? X_X
I usually get ~800-900K/s on steam with my connection, so that's gotta suck :\

And yea, this game is pretty fun. People were bitching about how easy the demo was in Advanced, but the levels get incrementally harder, leading up to the finale that would no doubt routinely crush the heartiest 4p groups in expert.

Versus is pretty crazy, I thought there would only be one boss type at a time, but they seemed to relax that. Now there's only one of each type except hunter, so seeing 2-3 hunters at a time is a common occurance in versus. You really have to be quick with saving teammates and sticking together as survivors, or attacking in groups and isolating survivors when playing as infected. Never thought I'd see a zombie as a team mate (fuck you Stubbs The Zombie, and your shit ass gameplay).
