Left 4 Dead (X360)

Oct 19 at 3PM PT

*Crash Course DLC Not Required*

*IMPORTANT UPDATE*
- Seems like the chatroom is not open. Jody had said that she was going to open it but i guess she has not done it yet. So, if you want to play in the game night be online in Left 4 Dead 30 minutes before the start time and add this gamertag, NJ BOI9222. I'll invite you to an Xbox Live Party. If you're late add me and i'll see what i can do. But i can't guarentee since versus is only 8 players.

1. How do I get in on the action?
Post your XBL gamertag here in the thread. Do not send me a friend request. I'll send you one.

Join the CHATROOM so we can all get situated. Join around 2:30 PT

I'll be hosting my gamertag is NJ BOI9222.

2. I am from another country and timezone other than California time (Pacific Time). What time is that for me?
http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc. If you want to be extra tech savvy and you use Firefox, download the foxclocks application to monitor your timezone versus other timezones.

3. What mode will we be playing?I want to play versus mode. But it's up to you guys. Post what mode(s) you want to play

4. Can I drop by late to participate in game night?
Of course! Why not?

5. Who are the game hosts?

Depends on how many people are going to join. Left 4 Dead supports 8 players on versus so if we get more than 8 people we can have a second host.

Hit me up with any questions here in the thread. I'm really open up to anything with this game night. Even if you guys want to change the days. I chose monday but I'm able to play tomorrow-tuesday.

First off let me start off by saying, who wouldn't want that PC! Even if you weren't an avid PC gamer! However, I am a PC gamer and I would love to have that PC. One of the reasons why is because I am 17 years old and I'm unemployed. I cannot afford to buy a PC like that. A lot of people cannot buy a PC like that and that's why many people don't game on their PCs. My current PC can barley run any games. Also, I'm a Senior in high school, next year I'm going to college. And I'll be living on campus. Sure there will plently of beautiful women not too far away from me. But hey, in my down time, i'll need something to do. And how much better can life get when you're playing Crysis on high settings with nice headphones, in the comfort of you're college dorm. And finally, my third reason is because I think I really deserve it! I am a hardcore GS user and I have been one for about 2 and a half years now. I've loved GS ever since I first registered. I love the community, the staff, and the content that GS puts out for its users. And I really do appreciate it. I appreciate GS just giving people the opportunity to win wonderful prizes like this. No strings attached just follow instructions. That's why I NEED this PC. (and that moniter too)

1. How do I get in on the action?
It is important to join the chat room so staff and GameSpotters can communicate with all of you. If you cannot remain in chat, exit and return once you want to play another match. We'll open the chatroom between 3 and 3:30pm PT on the day of game night.

2. I am from another country and timezone other than California time (Pacific Time). What time is that for me?
http://www.timezoneconverter.com/cgi-bin/tzc.tzc. If you want to be extra tech savvy and you use Firefox, download the foxclocks application to monitor your timezone versus other timezones.

3. What mode will we be playing?
We'll ask Kevin what he plans to play!

4. Why this game?
You all voted for it!

5. Can I drop by late to participate in game night?
Of course! Why not?

6. What GameSpot folks will I be playing with?

Trying to recruit a GameSpot editor, so you're stuck with me.

7. You mentioned something about "bounties" in the Game Night FAQ. What is up with that?
Every week, a player that meets the bounty requirement will get to take part in a grudge match later in the year against other bounty hunters. That match will take place on a game that pretty much anyone can play, such as a free bowling game, or some other such frivolity. The winner of the Grudge Match will receive a special emblem in his or her profile. Other emblems may also be awarded to players based on performance, wins, or other criteria.

8. What's this week's bounty requirement?
The non-scientific method: the player GameSpot staff feels kicked their butts the most. We normally choose one MVP per game or platform.

9. I am totally the best, and you know it. What if you give the emblem to some other dude, even if I know I am better?
It's the staff call on who becomes the MVP for the week.

10. So, do I have a good chance of kicking GameSpot butt?
Of course you do! There has got to be a game that we stink at.

12. Do I get an emblem for playing?
The only emblem goes to the bounty winner(s), which are listed on the game night feature page as MVP. It's next to impossible for staff to keep up with who enters the game or server and who doesn't. Besides, isn't gloating over GameSpot Staff a great reward?

13. Where should I report my game night experience?
You can post it here

Hey guys tommorow I'm leaving for "vacation" to New Jersey for 3 weeks. I'm coming back July 7th. Gotta go see family. See you guys when I come back.

Wow. This E3 was great. As a matter fact it's the best E3 I've watched since I've been on Gamespot. Microsoft is the winner imo. Microsoft showed their motion periphreal. Honestly, I'm kind of worried. There needs to be good software to back up Natal. However, Milo was really cool. Hopefully it works like they said they would. I don't know about Left 4 Dead 2. Seems a lil bit too early. Sony had its own motion controller. And it looks really cool. It works much better than the Wiimote even with Motion Plus. And finally Nintendo. Well, it was much better than last year. I dont think anyone went out of there saying that it sucked completly.. They had New Mario Bros. Wii, which is quite franctly, one of my top highly anticipated games for 09. They also announced Super Mario Galaxy 2. Which of course will be a must by. And Metroid: Other M. However, Galaxy 2 and Metroid other M are coming out in 2010 i believe. So Nintendo still doesnt have a lot for '09. Thanks Gamespot crew for the excellent coverage. Till next year.
