Expressing my love for Valve

As I have recently told you, I have bought Left 4 Dead. For those who don't know...it's basically 28 Days Later put into a game. And for those who haven't seen 28 Days Later..It's zombies. You nerds may be wondering why I have bought it so close to the release of Left 4 Dead 2. This is why:

As Valve has said, they are going to continue to support both L4D 1 and 2 along side each other. I don't see them as sequels really, they don't continue the same story, it's just a re-imagining of the same game I suppose. Either way L4D is a fun game that I haven't played before so it doesn't bother me, I will buy L4D2 as well.

I love L4D, I played the beta but never bought it because there were other more important games being released at the same time so it got lost. But I now realise what I've been missing. I don't know if it's just me but I like to think all immature guys do it. But on a couple of occasions that include being bored (car journeys mostly) I have daydreamed about a zombie apocalypse and what i'd do in that situation (sad I know, but i'm sure i'm not the only one). This game lets you live out the fantasy to an extent. This video is about 5 minutes long but really worth a watch.



The other day I was browsing eBay and came across an awesome rare(ish) promotion poster for Half-Life 2. If you know me, you know I LOVE that game. I've finished Half-Life 2 at least 5 times, Episode 1 2 or 3 times and Episode 2 only twice. But anyway I immediately put down a bid. Luckily there isn't much call for a poster like this so I was the only bidder in the end. Got it for £4 something, came from Sweden, said between 2-10 days. It arrived within 3 so I was very impressed. I'm quite proud of my poster it just shows how nerdy I really am. This is the image that's on my now favourite poster:


It replaced my Metallica poster, I thought it was only fair because that poster kept falling down and therefore had to be punished. Although I might put it back up instead of my Iron Maiden poster because I don't really listen to them anymore. Decisions, decisions... My life is so hectic. If only I could find a Portal poster or Team Fortress 2 or Left 4 Dead or all of them then I could completely dedicate my room to Valve. We all know they rule anyway.

Enough ramblings for now.
