You exactly have 5 days to figure out where the nearest Left 4 Dead 2 ad is and take a photo next to it. Why? Because Valve is hosting a contest that could win you a limited edition L4D2 Xbox 360 or a free copy of the game.

From the contest page:

Take a funny, interesting, scary or otherwise unique photograph of you or a friend in front of one of L4D2’s outdoor media placements (billboards, bus ads, etc.) and you could win a custom Xbox. All entries will be reviewed and judged by Gabe Newell, president and founder of Valve, so be creative!

All entries must be submitted by Sunday, November 15th.

So go out there and take photos! GL, HF. Full press release after the break.

Need more cinematic footage from Left 4 Dead 2? Well, here’s the 2nd TV spot from Valve. It doesn’t show anything new, but it does certainly get the hype train going at full “steam.” (See what I did there?)

Steam has a “Treat” of a sale.  After I post this, you will have only 1 hour and 30 minutes to get your hands on one of the most hilarious fps games out there.  Team fortress 2 is on sale right now for a measly $2.49.  The sale will close at 1pm PDT. If you don’t have this game yet, GO GET IT NOW!

Looks like the first “pitch” has been thrown for Left 4 Dead 2. Check out the 1st TV ad for the popular game. Also, if you haven’t pre-ordered the game yet on Steam or at your local gamestore, do it now so you can “go up to bat.”

Will this game be a homerun?

(ok, ok. I’m done with the puns.)

EA made an appearance at the London Expo with Valve’s upcoming Left 4 Dead 2 , complete with zombies and the EA Vault. On show was an exclusive look at one of the new co-op levels, which we got a very brief hands on with. (more…)

There’s a fake Team Fortress patch update webpage making its rounds across the intertubes regarding a new class for Team Fortress 2.  The class is a Guard Dog.  A “multi-function class working as either offense, defense, or support.”  The creator of this fake page has put a lot of time and thought into this that Valve sent over a letter of approval (see image below).  Does this mean that a fan made class will actually become official? I sure hope so. But then again, I have a lot of sympathy for dogs since I’m a dog owner and I wouldn’t like to see dogs killed or be the one to have to kill one.

Where have the Teletubbies gone? To the grave.  But just like they keep saying, they will keep coming back “again, again! Again again!” like zomibes.  So kill them all with this L4D mod.

As you have heard, the new TF2 patch comes with all new hats for every class.  Here is a rending of what you can randomly get while playing the game.

Today’s update features a brand new game mode.  King of the hill.  How it works is that once the gates open and gameplay starts (*HORN*), the one capture point will be locked.  After a short time, it will be open for capture by any of the 2 teams.  Once captured, a timer will count how long they have it captured for.  The team that can defend their captured point for 3 minutes, wins.

If an enemy team is able to capture the point, their timer goes up, while the team that lost the point has their timer frozen.

Seems like its going a boat load of fun and a great challenge.  Already, I can’t wait for more updates this week.

Also being added is a King of the Hill map, “Koth Viaduct.” Go past the break for screenshots. (more…)

This could be just troll bait, but it is still funny nonetheless.
