In other Pumpkin News, a big atta-boy goes out to everyones favorite heavy, Scott Eats Bullets (And Arrows). Recently Scott sent in a letter to the Control Point podcast about our TF2 Themed Pumpkin Carving Contest and they read it during their broadcast! A huge thank you to both Scott and the folks at Control Point. People that help out others in the gaming community make up for a lot of nights dealing with idiots and griefers :) I know a lot of our regulars listen to the podcast, but incase you don’t usually check it out. Here Scotts Letter – it starts @ 37:49

The preview Demo of L4D2 comes out this evening (11pm Pacific) I’m sure it will be a good time for all (slow downloads, crashing, qq’ing, death, etc). Since L4D2′s release is fast approaching lets take a look back at psychonics L4D2 hypocrites page..

As you can see, the graph looks even more like pacman than it did before.

I was talking to my good internet friend psychonic today, and he was busy getting angry at the Steam Condenser PHP class / library. I helped (I think) resolve an issue or two and went on my merry way without giving much thought to what he was up to. Fast forward several hours and it all becomes clear.

It seems psychonic decided to grab a list of all the members of the L4D2 boycotters steam group which is currently the 22nd largest Steam Community Group, and then looked up each member to see if they had preordered L4D2. The results are a little surprising. It seems that more than a couple of these boycotters don’t understand that in order to effectively boycott they can’t buy the product they are boycotting, otherwise they are just posers riding the bandwagon.

For All the Details check out L4D2 Boycott Lulz. It has numbers and a picture of pacman. Oh, and it has some words to read too. Good times.
