XD you got me on that one. I was going to defend myself with some of the promotional stuff from the movie, and then I realized how very silly I would have looked. /bow to you sir.

You can obviously tell that the “Upsell the Strategy Guide” was the corporate mandate at Gamestop, I had the same pitch… though at ZERO percent off. You can tell the guy who worked at our suburban mall, though, believed in them as much as I did. He asked me with this look in his eyes that was like “You are a 30 something gamer and intelligent and experienced, and I know dang well you know better places for information than this but I am going to ask you anyway.” And when I told him that is what blogs are for, his eyes lit up and he extolled the virtutes of GameFAQ (and I refrained from mentioning how 2004 that was! :-) )

You really need to consider doing a world tour, Bear.

And what, there are other games? Eh?

OK, I’ll grant you that I know nothing of the game Left4Dead… if, in your opinion, it looks to be a fascinating game with lots of substance, excellent quality, and a huge potential for fun, I shall certainly not stand on a bucket of ignorance and say thee nay.

I have always enjoyed the ‘Valve’ mark of quality, so I’m sure you’re right. Valve has made some truly excellent games.

I still think there is a marketing dude somewhere that ought to get smacked, though.

Okay, okay! I’m letting it go! Sheesh.

Don’t write Left4Dead off due to the name. You can download the demo now on Steam and try it out. It’s a great co-op shooter, one of the best. It’s not you vs. another team of players, it’s you and 3 friends vs. hordes of AI zombies trying to eat you. Much more enjoyable.

Love, Love, Love the pally song!

Its a bit derivative, but I made a druid song for you:

I’m a night elf druid, tall and fat.
Here is my my bear form, now I’m a cat.
When a hunter comes round, I scream and shout
Leave me alone, I’m not a mount!

I so would have been there. Had the route up there picked, verified which Gamestop it was… and then realized we had a timing conflict.

There was this little Shindig called VGL (www.videogameslive.com) in Chicago just a day or two later, see? And we HAD to go. We’ve had the tickets for two months now.

Next time. We’ll be there next time.

I agree that the 4 in Left 4 Dead is pretty silly (probably some marketing guy’s idea) that fact that it’s from Valve means I’m willing to give it the benefit of the doubt.

This was an awesome blog. oh… I meant, awesomest. Seriously – I can just feel how you had a great night out and I guess, it surprised the hell out of ya. Funny how RL can catch us off guard like that sometimes. Sadly, I’m too far away to make it to your next get-together of awesomest fun but I certainly wish you more awesomest times to come!
