It’s not enough to simply win a match in Left 4 Dead.  No, you have to take it one step further, “secure your ultimate victory” some might say.  The true mark of a pro is one who can not only beat the other team, but cause them to ragequit as well.

Yes, ragequit.  If you can induce the other team to quit the match out of sheer rage, you are a true pro.  Some might say that intentionally attempting to cause such a hostile action is unsportsmanlike, but I would argue that polite, sportsmanlike conduct has no place outside of gaming leagues.  Indeed, this is the raw, unfiltered Internet, full of angsty preteens (playing an M rated game), social outcasts, and that guy who always quits after playing as Infected.  No, they deserve it, so troll away.

I knew this day would come sooner or later. That day has finally arrived – I forgot to schedule articles. I have only myself to blame. Perhaps it was the 10 episodes of ‘Outlaw Star’ I watched last night, perhaps it was because I played through all of Left 4 Dead, or perhaps it was the fact that my roommate discovered you can dissolve skittles in Vodka. Whatever the reason, I have failed you GEB, and it won’t happen again.

Keep on writing. We’ll pick up again tomorrow.

Some of you may remember me mentioning something about Left 4 Dead in the first podcast episode. Specifically, I believe I said something along the lines of “I’m not paying $50 for a mod when I got the entire Orange Box for $40.” If you’re one of the very few people who agreed with me, pop open your Steam store and jump for joy, because Left 4 Dead is 50% off this weekend.

brb, grabbin pills.
