Lord of the Rings Online has gotten it's hooks in me. Puttering around in the starter town before, pretending to play the game, I barely eclipsed the 12 hour mark in total playtime. Now, with over 50 hours banked, I am a new man about town in Bree Land.
Crafting isn't something I ever tried before. Or increasing my reputation. Or earning titles. Or accomplishing deeds. Now, it's difficult to imagine the game without these things. Since learning how to play the game...I find I actually enjoy the game much more than before. Combine this with a new $9.99/month subscription plan and you have a game I will be playing for a long time to come.
Work continues on the Left 4 Dead campaign at a tortoise's pace. Despite our best efforts though, we're nearly ready for a playtest of the first level. Our creative braintrust will be put to the test in an effort to make this campaign the creepiest one available from the community.
I'm playing LotRO and L4D with equal enthusiasm right now. I'm also on the lookout for a genuinely scary game right now. I snatched up the Penumbra trilogy when it was on sale via Steam. I installed Call of Cthulhu: Dark Corners of the Earth. Still haven't found anything that grabbed me the way Dead Space did. I still plan to play these games through to completion, but does anyone have a recommendation?

The lightsabers they have nowadays are kickass. The blade extends at the press of a button. I cannot find anything cooler than this simple concept.
Parting shots:
- I hit 400 hours played in L4D.
- There is NOTHING on tv right now.
- Valve's new format for installing custom campaigns in L4D is brilliant.
- poison ivy can grow in your backyard.
- Dam It! is the best custom campaign played thus far.
Van out.

Ice road truckers also qualifies as nothing on TV in my book. Speaking of books you should just read another one instead of watching it.
I am pretty jaded by the direction Steam has taken with L4D. 9 months after the release of the game and we got 0 new content (as far as the main game is concerned). No new monsters, characters weapons or maps.
But hey L4D 2 is coming out. FAIL!
I will not be buying the new game when it comes out.
What Steam should have done was released new content for the game then announced L4D2. That probably would have gone over a little better.
