The soon to be released update for Left 4 Dead includes a new campaign ‘Crash Course’. Crash Course delivers new single-player, multiplayer and co-operative gameplay to both platforms, and bridges the gap between the end of the “No Mercy” campaign and the beginning of “Death Toll” in the original game.
According to the usual news site(s) Crash Course will be out next tuesday! (no doubt released just at the point of Mike’s bed time) 
It’s the same age as me!! (Nearly 
)
The game that got me hooked into computers. I remember going round to my friend’s house all the time to get to play the original on the BBC Micro. I even once got attacked by Thargoids while warping (that was really really rare).
I bought it (at least I pestered my parents until they bought it for me), played for probably as much time as I’ve spent playing WoW and eventually Commander Zaphod made it to “Elite”. A major milestone in my gaming history.
The only game that has the same scope is Eve Online. I want to like that sooo much and every year I try again but it’s too late. Maybe Jumpgate Evolution will be the one….I live in hope.
Ladies and Worms, celebrate feeling old and worship at the feet of the buggy but totally brilliant Elite.
btw…The Guild Episode 4 is out!!1!!1!! Oh yes…
Subject says it all…. well ok there is more.. look at this:

(No, not our Neil)
I have found more awesome things to watch on the interwebs, while I’m waiting for Guild S3E2. (And also while I don’t have my fdhsjdk&*^ iPhone).
The Legend of Neil is another of those webisode things all about a man who….well, gets transported into the Legend of Zelda game. Those who played it to death will really really enjoy this, those who didn’t will laugh as it’s just very funny. Definitely one of the best written and produced webisode series.
S1 Ep3 has Felicia Day in it. I’m definitely not stalking her.
No, I’m really not.
Although apparently she’s also going to be in the next season of Dollhouse 
Following my (wordpress’s) fail at posting the Guild music video….I thought I’d give it one more try.
The Guild Season 3 – Ep 1 is out!1!!! If you haven’t noticed I’m a bit of an evangelist of this webseries. This season promises to be just as good… If you haven’t watched season 1 and 2 yet, why not?? Those of you with xb0rgs can watch all of them on your big screen televisions via xbox Live.
