I've got nothing but praise for the game right now. Everything from the intense action and the incredible difficulty to the wonderful audiovisual experience makes this game the one to play. A MUST have if you've got three friends with itchy trigger fingers.

I managed to hop in some games on the final part of the first "film," No Mercy. It's a rooftop escape where you must survive waves of zomb0rz. They throw everything and the kitchen sink at you and it makes you say things with messed up spellings like "this is rediculous" and "this is ****ing imposible" but when you actually succeed, you feel the ultimate sense of accomplishment. Just running like hell from an unending swarm of Infected (of all types) to catch the rescue "choppa" is an adrenaline rush. It took me about an hour with one human and two AI on Normal difficulty and another hour (maybe a little more) with three humans (one was a Steam friend, two are now friends) on Expert difficulty. Although it took ME an hour to finish the level with them, the game session lengths were completely different. The normal difficulty game was on for about 4 hours. The Expert difficulty game was on for 10 hours! The same three guys were playing that whole time! I'm sure that once strategies are perfected, the duration will go down, but the AI director (that dynamically generates the enemies in the game) will always go for the jugular.

In other quick news, I hope to finish FFIV tonight, if I can find an hour or two to play at work.

Anyone else have interesting L4D stories? Sound off!
