I would say the opposite, ventrilo is fucking useless like sv_alltalk. Why have radio chat when the other team can hear you? Kind of takes away from the whole point of radio being faster than typing for quicker team responsiveness and communication, in exchange for... being able to smacktalk? Also, EVERYONE in the game with a mic has access to source radio, where as only people who have vent, are connected to your server, and are in the same room, are able to hear you in ventrilo.

There's channels in Ventrilo and thats basically just like different teams on Steam Voice except the sound quality is 10x better because you can change and edit your settings A LOT and also you can do stuff like MORE / LESS volume to individual people, not just the entire channel. Also I find Ventrilo to be extremely stable as even if your comp is lagging like shit vent still works just fine and it takes barely ANY bandwidth at all.

Does left 4 dead have actual zombies in it? or those faggoty ass running mutant things people like to call zombies. if real zombies this game will be so cash.
Also I'm asking if it HAS regular zombies, and not just running faggots.

theres a really cool website called youtube and there are other websites that review games. check 'em out! peace

A conversation with my former boss from Sprint:
BOSS: Hey Jerry, I couldn't help but notice your desk is always so messy compared to everyone else.
ME: Well you know what they say. Cleanliness is next to Godliness.
BOSS: *confused look* Uhm... wouldn't that mean you're further from God than the rest of us?
ME: *mischievous grin* Exactly!!!

If you want to be completely technical, they're not zombies, they're "infected". But we all know they're zombies. Just like they weren't zombies in Resident Evil 4, they were just parasite victims. If they walk, talk, act, and explode into gooey bits like zombies, who cares what they actually are? They were designed to BE zombies, but they just changed their reasoning for zombies as a more plausible "rabies that drives people mad" other than "dead people come back to life". Even the details on "actual" zombies are pretty shoddy. They love to eat brains, but a head shot kills them? So how do zombies increase their numbers if they eat the brains of their victims? Hell, zombies in this game run faster than in just about any other zombie games I can think of, I think I prefer these to the slow, lumbering types we've become used to mowing down with such little effort. I welcome this new "zombie" type, even if they're not full blooded zombies, they're just as fun to slaughter, and that's all that matters to me.

There's some graffiti on the walls at certain points which say things like THEY DON'T EAT... THEY DON'T SLEEP... WHAT KEEPS THEM GOING? and I SAW ONE GET UP AFTER TAKING A SHOT TO THE NECK AND KEEP GOING so while they're not dead, they pretty much share a lot of the traits of zombies including being supernaturally resilient! they die from body/limb shots though so apparently they bleed out like normal people.

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.

Playing with morons is awesome. We were doing that second level where you have to wait for a boat to pick you up at the house... Yeah, I was always the last one alive because I defended the upstairs room while they went on the deck or wandered off. You gotta hold up, bros.

EDIT:
They usually wandered off at the "we'll be there in 2 minutes" mark. Then we lost every time.

My favorite is when some idiot ALWAYS wanders into a middle of a pack of zombies, and instead of running to a corner or something, he just stands there shooting and getting destroyed. You know your team sucks when people go down killing random mellow zombies.

I think that would be the last thing on people's minds as they are trying to get away... On the other hand; that doesnt stop them from being stupid.

this one actually has more to it at the end that you missed which is the part that makes it REALY FUNNY. underneath all the argument in very small marker pen writing is the phrase: "i miss the internet."

anyway we played some amazing games last night. We had a huge four hour or so game on expert and the server crashed during the finale. We played quite a lot of vs too as PEAK TIME rolled around and I have to say, no other game has ever beat this on a scale of epic intensity. Watching Sare, 13 feet from the safe room trying to run from a horde on 1HP get mauled down in seconds and all of us sent back to redo the level. Never before have I been so on the edge of my seat. When you're all on miniscule health and the tank comes...

Wow that dude has terrible aim.

Also

*I'll Just backpedal and fire through my team mates.*

In that situation, run like fun and let your team-mates do as much damage as they can because she will ignore them while you make trails and when you get to a safer spot, turn around and unload into her.

Do you have to play this online or does the online just enrich the games experience?

Also Local, in the time it may have taken to post that.. You would have probably found your answer with Google.

It's probably better to play online, but there is a Single Player mode for the campaigns. You can't play Versus offline.

has gamingworld really degenerated into arguments over spelling...

Anyways, hopefully we can get some good versus action going again because last time was BS when we didn't get a tank spawn on the second last level which let you get all 4 runs, haha.
