There’s some good news for the PC players of Left 4 Dead 2. You no longer have to worry about whether Valve will be bringing the original Left 4 Dead campaigns into the sequel. You see, crafty modders over at l4dmods.com have already implemented the original maps into Left 4 Dead 2. Valve hasn’t actually released an SDK for Left 4 Dead 2 yet, so making this mod work will require users to change some files in the original game (and yes, you do have to own both games to make it work). There are some known issues and bugs and, needless to say, it’s not the most user-friendly mod out there, but it’s probably a small price to pay for the dedicated users.
So, if you want to see a Spitter on the roof of Mercy Hospital (and we know you do), you can. Watch a video of the mod in action after the break.
One of the people in the video used the words “F#%king Awesome-Sauce” to describe this, I have to say I couldn’t agree more. This song is great no matter how or where its played. As a gamer, you should know it and love it!
Now may be the perfect time to come up from the deepest bowels of Torchlight’s dungeons to take a breather from all of your greedy hoarding, as Shacknews reports the game’s mod tools are now available. Runic Games originally announced the tool set would be a separate download following the late-October release of the game and the dev has made good on that promise, gifting us all with TorchED.
TorchED allows one to manage all aspects of the game, from creating custom levels to modifying skills right down to quest construction. For you budding quest composers out there, Runic offers a list of tips to get your mod on that you may wish to check out.
Boy, we’ve seen a lot of real-life custom Halovehicles lately. First there was a tiny, completely huggable Warthog, then a full-size Warthog and now we’ve got a working, custom Mongoose. The vehicle was spotted on Craigslist and, according to the seller, it was originally used as part of a Halo 3 launch event. A modified 2007 Kawasaki KFX 700 ATV, the seller claims it was won in a drawing, but now he has to sell it. If you could use a “mint condition” Mongoose — and have $9000 laying around — this baby can be all yours.
Once you pick it up, all you’ll need is a buddy and a (Nerf) rocket launcher and you’ve got instant good times.
The next time your friends complain about soccer being boring, you can do something slightly more productive than silently mocking their boorish lack of sophistication. You can show them this video of “Football Hero” (after the break), which consists of soccer players kicking balls into a gigantic, vibration-sensitive screen to play Frets on Fire, a freeware adaptation of Guitar Hero’s core gameplay.
Then, just for us, make sure you convince them that every soccer match is exactly like this.
