He probably lives in Germany where L4D2 was censored. He's asking somebody to gift him a copy of the uncensored version and he'll pay the person gifting via Paypal.

Aussie's got shafted with a bloodless zombie game as well.

Even the the idea of such a thing is lolz.

I hope MNC has longer legs on the PC. You never know with these indie shooters - Lead and Gold and Shattered Horizon seem to be dead these days.

I don't think Lead and Gold ever had a constant userbase. It had a great deal of problems on launch and by the time of the first round of sales it was dead in the water.

To be honest, I haven't played either in ages myself, so I'm part of the problem. :lol

I liked Lead and Gold, but the lack of good dedicated servers (even if that was just the impression I got) probably hurts it, which is in turn partly due to the lack of popularity and configurability maybe?

I also would have liked an option for anti-aliasing. I don't think TheOctagon ever took up the challenge of trying to make it look amazing. It looked decent even without AA, and I seem to recall the lighting being especially nice.

since the last free weekend, i've always found atleast one full server in l&g. breaking double figures in a simultaneous playerbase isn't exactly reason to crack out the moonshine and start playing banjo, but it's serviceable.

Maybe. I just have no idea why some live and some die. It could be the smaller indie studios just can't survive long enough to keep a small but dedicated user base.

At least Lead and Gold has a working Mulitplay, I am still very disappointed in that while Sega turned off the servers for Outrun 2006, they could not of bothered to simply put in a way to just put in the IP address of the person you wanted to play. But they also delisted the game from steam, so I doubt they give any damn.

I have a wishlist of 40 games. Now I just need my PC so I can play them. I've been spending a lot of time on my account, just fuckin around and trying to get everything set up right for when I have my rig good to go.

Steam seems pretty nice. I have about 10 games now and I'll keep chomping on all the big sales so I'll have an even better library to start with. I still can't get over how cool it is that I just bought Left 4 Dead 2 for only $5, that's a crazy good deal compared to where I'm coming from.

Be very careful then and start working extra or whatever you can to earn some extra money.

The winter sale is coming

With only 10 games in your library you will be more vulnerable then most.

Good luck and no matter how cheap, don't buy project freedom.

bring on the Winter sale

they will all be Chrimbus presents to myself, I'm just hoping Dragon Age, new Fallout, Mass Effect 1/2 or The Witcher or Stalker (I'm not adding the periods again) go on sale.

I have to rebuild my faves and catch up with everything I missed.

Can't wait, I hope the Chrimbus sale rocks my shit just so I have a ton to play when my system is a-go.
