TheOnion.com is not funny

It seems for once the Onion has managed to write something informative, corredect, and sadly not funny. If only we would have heard them out 7 years ago back in January of 2001.

"My fellow Americans," Bush said, "at long last, we have reached the end of the dark period in American history that will come to be known as the Clinton Era, eight long years characterized by unprecedented economic expansion, a sharp decrease in crime, and sustained peace overseas. The time has come to put all of that behind us."

Thought i'd share this with you guys. I know you guys probably don't need the wireless adapter but they are also selling the red wireless controller with the plug and charge kit thing for <$45 which is a great deal. After all the madden games I've played i'm due for a new controller, i don't know about you guys.... So check it out. Just make sure i get mine first!

L4D update

http://pc.ign.com/articles/945/945150p1.html

It will be out on the 360 in the coming weeks.

Sounds good for the most part. Some notable changes:

Campaign
- Fixed several map exploits. (probably won't be able to do the door smashing shortcut now)

Versus
- Made the Tank and Witch spawn directly on the escape route. (this might suck)
- Increased chance of getting the Tank or Witch. (i'd welcome this on campaign, gonna make vs even harder)

Hunter
- Easier to pounce a Survivor who is meleeing. (thank jebus)

Smoker
- Smoker now has to be killed or the tongue destroyed for the tongue to break.
- Survivor's cannot bash someone off the tongue until the Survivor being pulled is paralyzed or hanging

Tank
- Bashable objects now appear with a red glow.
- Reduced autoshotgun damage against Tanks.


Overall, it seems like most of the changes will beef up the Infected. It'll make playing as them even more fun, but I can definitely see it causing some more frustration as survivors. Also, no mention of changing exploits in VS mode.

Start training now boys!

In case you guys haven't seen this yet, I just wanted to share it.

http://kotaku.com/5127350/fallout-3-level-cap-getting-dialed-up-to-30

This Fallout DLC info just gets better and better. Turns out the level cap is going to be bumped all the way to 30. Considering the original cap is at 20 thats huge. Considering I finally reached level 20 last night; and the level progression bar showing level 21 is just sitting there in the bottom corner of every loading screen mocking me I can't wait for this change to come. Seriously! Why have that bar and not let it move? Its torture! Anyway, This stuff all looks great. If you haven't yet. Check out the images for the first DLC coming out. Ninja suit? good. Sweet Tank thing? good. Giant snowy Warzones? GOOOOOOODDD

Piecing together the story of Left 4 Dead

This is an interesting read:

I never really noticed that it is set in PA and that most of the in-game landmarks represent real places. The map of where each campaign probably takes place is pretty cool.
