Idea for L4D2 mutation

How about this?

“Realism Realism”. When you play either campaign or VS, when a character die, they die. Sure, you can use defibs, but if you leave Bill dead and behind on level 3, he’s not going to be there on level 4.

For Versus that should mean that it’s a lot scarier to play and easier to immerse the zombie threat. It should also mean that infected will really focus fire down one survivor to increase their advantage on following levels.

Has it already been done?

Starcraft streaming and t-shirts

 

Me and J watched this weekends live Starcraft 2 tournament, which Dong Rae Gu won. All top three were Zerg players by the way.

So, we wanted to dress up for the occasion and decided to make our own Sc 2 shirts, using stencils, paint and a iron.

Here’s how it turned out.

OnLive Viewer for iPad

Bloody hell! Have you downloaded OnLive Viewer for iPad yet? Well you should; it is nothing less than fantastic.

This app lets you watch games being played live on OnLive’s servers. Even though I’ve played through Batman: Arkham Asylum already I’m right in the middle of watching player “Sere” experiencing the wonderful introduction of the Joker.

What we’ve got here is the start of a new gaming era and and a change in how video games are perceived. Televised gaming started it off, and game commenters such as HDstarcraft on YouTube took a step further but this means you can watch games being played live, any game you like (from OnLive’s supply) without having to have the game installed on a computer or console.

Christmas came early this year.

Gamers at Gotland

I was at Visby last week talking to the GAME students about some of the things we do at Burning Man Studios. I had a great time and finally got to see Steve. Check out this link to see some shots of us before our presentation!

The party afterwards was lovely and I just loved seeing the staff again and a few old mates from back in the days. That education has really shaped up the last couple of years which I think is thanks to the work of Don. Well done, buddy!
