Well I agree, I mean I think- wait a minute...

cricket bats


IN AMERICA?


Well they're a lot more common than the katana I bet! It's also the second Sean of the Dead nod/reference (Louis' clothes being the first)

The Jockey is a smaller zombie who jumps on the backs of Survivors and tears them apart from behind. Not only that, but he gets to control the movements of the Survivor while he's doing it, meaning that Versus Mode just got a whole lot crazier. Sounds like a helpful little guy who'll help guide the Survivors into ambushes and other desirable locations.


:D

MULTIPLAYER GAME OF FOREVER

Apparently (I got this shit from the Steam forums, so don't take my word, but it sounded fair enough) he's about half the height of a Smoker, and jumps on your head and starts beating the crap out of your face, pulling your hair and kicking you in a way that makes you stumble in the way the Jockey is moving with the WASD keys.

He has a fairly bright checkered shirt on, and he also laughs.

Again, Steam forums.

So he's a midget Hunter?
AWESOME.


This sounds hilariously awesome. Stumbling people into spitter acid and their own molotov flames? brilliant. Walking people off the edges of cliffs? HILARIOUS.


So I take it now that we know the 'final' SI, Charger is hunterish, spitter is boomerish and jockey is smokerish.

Yeah Gamestop are super gay though.

Also just a little quick sum I did for you guys who bought L4D1 the other day and planning to pre-order L4D2 before the 27th this month... you may notice you get a package which gets you L4D1 and L4D2 for £44.98.

But if you did buy it the other day you save over 5 quid if you want L4D2 right now and pre-order. (£12.49 L4D+£26.99 L4D2=£39.48 as opposed to £44.98 L4D1+L4D2 bundle)

Now you can buy yourself 20 Mars bars!

We are, yes. I feel sorry for Australia because of it - I sent an e-mail to the MP over there explaining why he was a douche (in nice terms why I hated his opinion) and I got back some random e-mail from them asking for my address. This was around the start of the year, never seen anything from them since.

Anyways, that's irrelevant. We do have an R18 rating for video games, thank the gods. It's just up to the publishers to get the uncensored version (the "censored" ones they send to the likes of Australia). The only real problem I heard was when NZ got the same shipment that Australia did for Grand Theft Auto IV which annoyed many NZ gamers.

Some guy even bought the US version of the game and paid the hefty fee to get it classified (it's like $1,000 NZD "minimum" plus a certain amount per hour of gameplay apparently) and it was rated R18, not banned. So stores could just buy it from a US supplier and stock it (I don't know if they did or not).
