Been expecting this for a while and surprised it hasn’t happened sooner, but a nude skin had finally been released for Left 4 Dead’s Zoey. Zaigo (aka Root Overload) is the creator, also known for his skinning of the Age of Conan characters. Zaigo is constantly tweaking his mod so check the download page at l4dmods or his site.
The Zoey skin will run client-side (your machine only); this image shows her off fairly well and is probably not safe for work.
The skin itself is fairly well done with only a few visual oddities, most notably in the stomach and legs. It seems as if the original skin is still there, resulting in a strangely contoured belly and a seam down the ankle. She’s got physics-enabled breasts and is well detailed down below.
Previous to running across this trailer, I had heard zero about Edge of Twilight. EoT is a third person, steampunk action game developed by Fuzzyeyes Studios, which I hadn’t heard of either. The only other game I can find that they developed, seeing as they don’t even have a Wikipedia entry, was called Hot Dog King: A Fast Food Empire (but it was also known as Hot Dogs Hot Gals). We’re not talking about a Triple A title here as this screenshot shows.
Here’s a nice image showing off the environmental effects of the new arena map, Sawmill. Too bad in the full view, I will be RESPAWNING IN 10.0 SECONDS and know the full name and avatar of my killer AND any detailed description of the weapons that he was carrying, requiring a good fourth of the screen in which to inform me. I suppose I was just lucky not to get any more spam…
As I’m sure most of you have heard, Left 4 Dead 2 was announced by Valve at E3 last week, and is marked for a November release. I wanted to do a quick post for those of you that may have not heard much about the release.
Let’s start with the location: it’s a new one, this time in the South. The game begins in Savannah and ends in New Orleans, with some of the fighting occurring during the day. There are four new survivors; Coach, Rochelle, Ellis and Nick, who will have more interactive dialogue than in the previous game. L4D2 will feature five campaigns.
We tested out some of the Spy/Sniper stuff yesterday and here is what we found:
Some other stuff first:
First level sentries/dispensers can be taken out in two Sniper bow shots. They will have 1/6 health left after one.
Second level sentries/dispensers can be taken out in two Sniper bow shots. They will have 1/3 health left after one.
Third level sentries/dispensers can be taken out in two Sniper bow shots. They will have 1/3 health left after one.*
Jarate can be used to put out fire on your teammates and yourself.
Jarate will reveal a cloaked Spy even if he has the Dead Ringer equipped.
Jarate can be blown back at the offending Sniper with a Pyro’s air blast. The timing is easier than repelling a canister and, if successful, will result in the Sniper and/or his teammates receiving minicrits from your team.
All PC troubleshooting is made easier with the right tools. These tools should be easy to use, easy to install, do as advertised and preferably be free. One tool that comes with Windows that I always felt was lacking was Task Manager. While it shows process memory consumption and process CPU usage, it does little to tell you which process is causing you all the problems. And what if the problem process locked up your PC? You would never know what was slowing your system.
Since we were too cheap to make our own, one of our friends decided to take it upon themselves to help promote the site. Francis seems to like it anyway.
