Greatest Zombie Game Ever?

First off let me say i love zombies, i dont know why, this image i made of me and my girlfreind proves that.

Anyway i love zombie movies and games like Resident Evil. Always loved that game in fact RE5 comes out soon and that will be good. Left 4 Dead is a new zombie survival horror game from valve who made counter strike, half-life, team fortress and more. They have a good reputation and any game they make its good. I pre-ordered this game and just picked it up today, however, i been playing the demo for over a week with my 2 co-workers who also pre-ordered the game so we already know it and played it. This game is specifically desinged for co-op play and makes you work and think together, its the best. Here is some info from their site.

Set in the immediate aftermath of the zombie apocalypse, L4D offers four expansive “movie campaigns” that challenge you and your fellow survivors to battle thousands of swarming zombies as you travel across the rooftops of an abandoned metropolis, through rural ghost towns and pitch-black forests. In addition to the movie campaigns, Left 4 Dead features a Versus mode that allows you to play as the Boss Zombies.

New technology dubbed “the AI Director” is used to generate a unique gameplay experience every time you play. The Director tailors the frequency and ferocity of the zombie attacks to your performance, adjusting pacing, special effects and audio on the fly.

I highly recommend anyone with xbox 360 to buy this game and play it with me. I will be playing this game for a long time, one thing about valve’s games is the go on and on and never really die like most other games. I still play the orange box and have no problem finding game of “team fortress” online.

If you have seen any zombie movie’s like 28 days/weeks later or dawn of the dead this game is a mirror image of that, fast zombies and herd’s of them just coming at you, its quite a rush.

There is so much you need to know and see and all that can be found here www.l4d.com but for now i have to go and play this game or i would tell you myself :)

What’s Going On?

Updates here, i know i have not been active here but there are reasons for that.

First off i didnt want to bump my Bob Barr for president image. The electionis finally over and we got Obama, do i support Obama? No, but i don’t support McCain either. I don’t have any new music to release and there is a reason for that, the reason being is that i released 2 cd’s in the past few months and i really want to give those time to be heard. When i get feedback and the general feeling that people are listening and ready for more, i will give them more!

Today is my day off so im doing some house cleaning here, i saw some out dated pages that need updating so im gonna work on that. I urge everyone to head on over to the audio page and listen to some music, you can do the same form the flash player on the sidebar here. If you scroll up in the player you will be able to click on the album names and see the songs for the album.

Not Wasting my Vote

adjective

adjective is my second album in 2008

This is my 3rd album total and release 2 a year is not something i can keep up, however i recently found the love of making music and have not had a shortage of ideas, but again that wont last, i get composers block big time and thats when i have big gaps between releases. Enough negativity, i hope you enjoy this album and as usual, its free!

Lost a Friend

Where to start this…..

Well i lost a friend the other day, he died, at this moment in time i still don’t know exactly why although we do have “theories”. I have never lost a friend before, i have had relatives that have passed away but as weird as it sounds this seems more real, to me as im getting older it seems to mean that (as morbid as it sounds) i need to realize that more and more people i know will die. Where as now its way to shocking “how can i die, it doesn’t make sense” like dying is an impossible this but its not.

My friends name was Jae Monahan, he was a awesome kid despite a few bad habits, we all have them but it doesn’t define you, he was a good person the way he treated people and his friends, he would give you the shirt of his back if it was his last one. I knew him a bit in school but when i got a job where he was a manager is where we really became friends, we both liked to make music. We even made a track together that was never actually finished, its really rough but now seems like a little bit of him and so now its beautiful. From there we went to parties, shows and just hung out usually with other mutual freinds of ours. When we first started are UFC parties he was always one to attend. He gave me a turntable and a mixer which i still use to this day to make music, does this look familiar?

At some point at work (remember he was my manager) he gave me these silly pins that are suppose to boost employee moral or something, there are different ones for your different skills, like stamina or tardiness. What were just trinkets before are now something a bit more, another thing i will save forever and have a meaning people who look at them will ask what are they for, i will tell what they were made for, but ill always know they mean something more.

About a week before he died i had called him, we hadn’t talked in a few months i got a new job and stuff so i was “busy” although looking back i see no time where i didn’t have an hour or so to hang out with a friend. So i called him just to say hi and keep in touch, he sounded really happy to hear from me and we made plans to hang out for the next UFC party, he had missed a couple. That day is this Saturday, so i won’t actually get to hang out with my friend and its things like that, that make it more real, i realize he is not coming and not because he has other plans, and he wont ever come again….

I feel like if i had just called sooner i could have hung out with him one last time, or maybe even have helped this not happen via the “butterfly effect”, im playing the blame game, i don’t think he has a friend out there right now that’s not doing that though, i should have seen him more but i just have to live with the time we had. I’ll always remember going to see Sage Francis with him, buying him drink when i should have stopped long ago and passing out before the show, good memories.

You will be missed.

I know some of my friends will see this, but if there is anyone i don’t know but that does know Jae feel free to leave a comment, i would like to get as many tributes to him as i can. Just say whatever you feel as a comment to this blog entry. (Click Comment Below).
