User blog:Zikkun/Racism, Money, and Valve.

How does three unrelated words end up being together? This week we'll be talking a little about Valve making more money, RAWRRRRR boycotting and racism related to the upcoming game Left 4 Dead 2.

Racism

So, are we really racist regrading Left 4 Dead? I've recently read an article in GamePolitics about racism in gaming, apparently the fact that the Survivors will have to fight black people doesn't make them happy. Yesterday I was undoing an edit on Louis' page I saw saying something like "In Versus Mode all Infected attack Louis before the others.". That was just racist in my opinion.

''Louis. "Pills here!"''

Other than Louis, we also have Coach and Rochelle in Left 4 Dead 2 and some people say that they don't look fun to play with, I think we should just be quiet and let Valve do as they wish, they did so in all their previous games and successed by a lot. Maybe they won't make a good PEELZ HEER for them, but at least we'll have a little Cricket fun killing Infected.

Money

Money, we all use money for at least something every day, on the other hand Valve is just keeping getting money. :D

Do you remember H.A.V.E. Online? That online FPS that Valve developed in 2007? Oh that's right... Valve didn't developed such game, but they sure did make all it's content, that is... Team Fortress 2's content, and it's been somewhat "stolen". A new online MMORPG so-called H.A.V.E. online has gone Closed Beta last week in South Korea and Team Fortress 2 fans are... kind of pissed off.

''H.A.V.E. Online and Team Fortress 2. So similar yet so different.''

Seems really similar, doesn't it? There's also a trailer and a gameplay if you're more interested about it. Oh and... it's totally free, you can expect it to come to North America in at least 1 or 2 years depending on population. ...unless it gets sued by Valve. ;D

Valve

There isn't a lot news about Valve, we know that they still have a planned Downloadable Content coming up this summer, and in 4 days they will be in San Diego Comic Con from 23rd July to 26th July 2009 to showoff their new campaign Swamp Fever.

''Swamp Fever. Woooo spooky! D:''

Other than that, the L4D2 Boycott group has reached 40,000 members, so congratulations to them and hopefully Valve will notice they want something other than free content, because that's all I think Valve is thinking about them. But really, Valve is currently working on a way to connect both games, so we should support them a little.
