This blog is left dead...NOT!

Never realized I have not updated for over a week, definitely due to some new games I bought and downloaded into my computer =P

Nothing really interesting happened, aside from the commencement of a new semester in my college. Apparently the lecturer for my Drama (Yes, drama) class is a very strict one. Since I decided not to show up for the first lecture, I got some info out of my coursemates. It appears that attendance is taken during the very first lecture (attendance is usually not taken in lectures), of which a lot of people, myself included, did not turn up. My name is the first to be called, darn it, I don't like being on top of the list. Okay then since she's so strict about attendance, I shall see how she does in another important aspect which is punctuality.

There's a bloody lecture in...about 4 and a half hours, and here I am blogging. It's a freaking lecture too, of which the lecturer decided not to show up when I did. Feel so lazy to attend since there is practically nothing for me to do once the lecture finishes. The bloody office staff is doing such a horrible work in preparing the timetable, sucks.

I've recently watched a gameplay video of a highly anticipated survival horror game from Valve, Left 4 Dead. It included commentary from the game developer himself, playing with some other people during an event. I can't help but drool over it because it is simply magnificent. The gameplay, the graphics, the physics, everything. This is possibly the only one game where you can never think to complete alone. Teamwork is essential, and you need to be understanding, calm, resourceful and analytical. Thanks to the AI "Director" in the game, players will never know what to expect. Although the architecture will be the same, enemies will not appear the same place twice, or at least will be different every time you play. The Director will also adjust the difficulty level according to the current team situation, if the team is plowing through the level, it will add more enemies, even bosses, into the round. If the team is low on health and ammunition, it will reduce the enemies instead.

You might think this is a typical survival horror game which you can clear with a lot of firepower, but you will be proven wrong. The enemies are not walking corpses, they are merely humans infected with some virus, making them practically mindless and hostile towards any normal human. They can climb walls, and instead of walking slowly, they charge at players as fast as they can once spotted.

Left 4 Dead is scheduled to release November 19th in US, and 21st the rest of the world. More updates about it coming soon. I expect a lot from this game, and I would not mind spending money for it.
