    Pretty sure he was switching to a med kit at the time.

    So I'm really starting to like the hunting rifle. I use it like a shotgun, and the only downside is less stopping power when there's a bunch of them already up in your face. But at a distance? USE GUN ON ZOMBIE

    Ok I know nothing about computers. From what I found out about my P.C from the control panel I have a geforce 7800gt with 256mb and I have a duel core AMD 170 processor thats 2.5ghz and 2gbs of ram. Will I be able to partake in the zombie killings with all of you on my P.C?

    How dare you insult my graphics! They are maxed! MAXEEED.

    And I'll have you know that as an illustrator I know very much about composition, and the flashlight shining on Bill while also illuminating the Blood soaked wall creates a strong focal point which then leads the eye of the viewer to the Witch's arm increasing the sense of movement and gives the idea of death coming out of darkness.

    I just really wanted to post it again cuz I thought it was cool.

    But Bill isn't looking at a bloodstained wall. He's looking at the opposite side of that bloodstained wall.

    The whole notion that he's on the other side of the wall is what ruins the picture.

    I want to play this game.

    My laptop sucks, though, and I don't want to buy it and have it not work on my computer.

    I'm on a laptop with a freakin Geforce Go 6150 video card and an AMD turion dual core processor. TF2 is playable, but the framerate sucks.

    Is there anyone with a computer close to those specs who has been able to play this game?

    Alternatively, how hard is it to cancel a preorder through Steam?

    As fun as the demo was, I'm more excited by the prospect of L4D as a platform for zombie themed mods than as a game. Sort of like how vanilla UT2k4 was pretty fun but UT2k4+mods was mindblowingly awesome. I just hope the mods don't splinter the fanbase.

    I see L4D as a buffet. It's already great, but adding more things to the base game will only make it even more awesome. For example, who wouldn't want to try a third person samurai mod, with new animations, blood effects, and more detailed dismemberment? The fact that it's solid and easily moddable out of the box is what is going to make that kind of thing possible.

    The potential is awesome. I think Valve should try to implement something akin to mutators to allow for easy and small gameplay modifications. Then there could be all kinds of interesting scenarios.
