  • Curt : The big Xbox update is today, for those with Xboxes. I haven't checked it out yet, but I've heard it's pretty slick.
  • Curt : Sweet. We will patiently await your arrival.
  • Neil D : i'll be picking up left 4 dead some time soon, won't have time to play t'ill december though.
  • Curt : Woot! If you get the PC version, we can play online together!
  • John : I played through the demo finally last night. Left 4 Dead is awesome. I'm so gonna buy it.
  • Curt : Yay! Left 4 Dead is out today!
  • Curt : Yay! My Wrath of the Lich King Collector's Edition arrived in the mail today!
  • Curt : Sounds good to me. I'll send out an invite, then.
  • Neil D : Ok, how about we just pencil in for Thursday then? Looks to be the only day Joe is not crazy busy this week. If i can get things rolling with my project then i can easily take Thursday off to play.
  • Curt : Thus far, I'm free every night except Monday night, as long as I've got enough early warning to set aside the time, that is.
  • Joe : I have a date on wednesday, friday I will more then likely be heading back to whitby. Work is going to be really busy Mon & Tues, I don't want to be a zombie for the first game but if we want to play then I will make the effort.
  • Neil D : So starting this week i need to start my class project. It will nearly dominate all my spare time for the next two weeks. So if we plan on playing during this time i need to know well in advance when people are free. i figure i can spare atleast one evening a week. So lets figure out what days the most people are free and i will take that day as a break from my project.
  • Curt : No worries, I figured it was pretty last minute so not many people would be around.
  • John : Crap, didn't see that post until this morning. Not that it would have made a difference, I didn't get home until 9 last night because Deb's dad has been in the hospital since Saturday and only just got released yesterday, so we were over there for supper.
  • Curt : I'm actually around tonight as well if people want to play. I'll aim to be on Skype around 8, just in case.
  • Neil D : So for D&D this week i am free tonight or tomorrow. This is the one week i am not free at all on the weekend. Next week i am good to go almost any day except Saturday the 22nd. i know Chris expressed interest in playing when i talked to him on Sunday. Would like to get the ball rolling.
  • John : As for Left 4 Dead, I downloaded the demo last night but didn't get to play it, spent all night on the phone with XBox Live support trying to find out where my Fable 2 code is. Final word, MS has stated there is a delay and that no ETA can be provided.
  • John : No D&D again this week, then?
  • Neil D : I can't wait to try Left 4 Dead, as for D&D, Saturday i have class and then we are going out for the evening for a belated birthday dinner for Angie with her friends.
  • Curt : I can see that if you don't intend to play Left 4 Dead online, then there's little incentive to purchase it. I was a bit leery at first as well, until I played it online the other night and now I'm much more certain about my purchase. The randomness that the Director adds is pretty amazing when you're playing on a higher difficulty with a group of players.
  • Joe : As for D&D, Thursday is no good cause we have the concert, Friday I have three things to do that I am already trying to juggle. If you guys want to try for Saturday or Sunday I would be up for it.
  • Joe : Left 4 Dead is great, but I might pass on purchasing it. Doesn't seem like the kind of game I see myself playing after a week of blowing up zombies. Suspenseful as hell though!
  • John : AGH! I STILL don't have my Limited Edition DLC for Fable 2!
  • Curt : Oh yeah, the Left 4 Dead demo is out today, and even if you don't like Zombies, or have a computer, or play video games; I highly recommend checking it out!
  • Curt : It's been so quiet lately, are you guys going to schedule another session (or attempted session) of D&D?
  • Curt : Thanks for the link, Joe, that's awesome.
  • Joe : I like the new blue, check out this link «link»
  • Curt : Changed themes again cause I discovered the last one's comments were broken.
  • Curt : Yay, I beat Gears of War 2!
  • John : Yeah, if I get it, it'll definitely be for the PC.
  • Curt : Hehe, well, I've got it on the PC, at least. After the (lack of) support for TF2 on the Xbox, it's made me a bit leery of getting it for anything other than the PC.
  • Carl : But then again if everyone gets it I don't want to be the odd one out lol
  • Carl : Ah ok then. I didn't have time to look at system req but assumed it was the next level of upgrades.
  • Curt : It's also primarily an online game (4-player co-op!), so on the Xbox you'd need to get Live Gold.
  • Curt : Actually, if you can run HL2 or TF2, you can run this just fine. It's just the Source engine.
  • Carl : My computer is out of date and likelihood of upgrade is not good
  • Carl : Yeah I will probably end up picking it up for 360 at some point
  • Curt : Left 4 Dead is awesome. If you preorder it now, you can play the demo right away. Otherwise, the demo comes out on the 11th, I believe. The game itself comes out on the 18th.
  • John : They say 10 business days, actually. Which I think places it as next Tuesday is the time limit.
  • Curt : I haven't gotten my 20 free songs in Rock Band 2 yet, either, which was supposed to be yesterday.
  • Curt : Well, they say 10 days, which will be Friday. There's still time!
  • John : Yup, the day they put it up (the 28th).
  • Curt : Really? Did you register your LiveID to get your codes? «link»
  • John : I still don't have my LCE content for Fable 2. The game is still awesome, though.
  • Neil D : Got my EEEPC it's pretty groovy!
  • Curt : Yay, I beat Dead Space!
  • Curt : Yeah yeah, we all know you don't have any time for us anymore. *sob*
  • John : Yeah, it was great seeing you all again, even if it was only until 1am Saturday morning, for me. I still had a blast. Sorry I didn't get to meet Elly, Curt. Next time hopefully.
  • Carl : Thief!!
  • Curt : And Carl, I accidentally stole a facecloth from your bathroom, it seems.
