I’m thinking most of you readers already have L4D2, but just in case, Valve’s running an offer where both L4D games are 66% off. Anyone who orders or already has L4D2 will get a skillet and an Ellis hat in TF2 the following days.

Speaking of which, a pretty bad patch came around. I’ll spare you the bother of reading the wall of text, and tell you that the Sydney Sleeper ain’t so much of a railgun anymore.

The sniper is one of the most powerful classes, 100% critical hit once charged? I’m there. That’s why my main class is Sniper, because I know a secret. I know that a sniper can kill any class in the game in one shot. You knew that already, right guys? I don’t think you did. Otherwise I wouldn’t hear Mr. E-Cop telling me to switch classes. You know what? Screw you, a sniper could kick you in the teeth. Continue reading »
