Survivor? I hardly know 'er!

I don't know what the boards look like on the PC version, but on the 360 there are apparently people who can last in Left 4 Dead's survival mode for over 1100 minutes. And I was proud of just seven minutes. Call me crazy, but I have a feeling there are a couple of undiagnosed bugs still in the system allowing people to not get hit. At this moment in time ascending the leader boards isn't about surviving the undead menace, it's about exploiting a bug and taking part in a wholly meta competition, the winner of which is the owner of the Xbox which red rings last.

Don't get me wrong, survival mode is definatly fun, teams I play with are commonly treated to elaborate fireworks displays as I lay out all of the explosives on the map into convoluted chain reactions, resembling a fourth of July remix of the game mouse trap.

I beat The World Ends With You yesterday, I say beat, what I really mean is finished the main story. I swelled with a great feeling of pride as the end credits rolled, still not entirely sure how I managed to beat those last three bosses, but secure in the knowledge that I had attained ascension. At this moment a charming dialogue box informed me that I had, in fact, accomplished nothing so far, that I had merely passed the entry exam. Now was the time for the obstacle course, which consisted of nothing less than every other level with additional objectives and bosses added. At this point any sane mortal man would put the DS down and pretend that they had never read this final message, living out long and fulfilling lives. But this dialogue box offered a very special treat, the kind I enjoy even more than experience bars: additional story, back story in this case. Put the ambulance on standby, I'm diving back in.

Keep on survivin'

Well,
I guess that you may have noticed that it is I who has suffered this insufferable bug and not the one they call Iced.
Rather, however, than describe my guts to you in glorious detail, I shall provide you with the enlightening issue that is PC gamers.
They cheat. Yes I said it, me the one who constantly tries to fight for these disgusting and hateful people.
Actually to use the words hateful and disgusting is probably taking it too far when I consider what Iced, Myke and Tetris must put up with but, still. Why would you want to cheat on something as trivial as an achievement, worse yet an achievement on the PC where there is no discernible gain other than the new weapons and even those are balanced so you end up with no real edge.
Moreover there isn't some kind of arbitrary number that some 13 year olds believe to be exactly correlated to the size of their penis.
Well now I've got that off my chest let's talk about some thing more interesting shall we.
For a start we have Quake live which seems vaguely interesting and could be worth a shot (sorry I just needed that one) next we I have just found out that Steam -unsurprisingly- is supporting EndWar (and more I'd imagine but, I can't be bothered to look).
Lastly I'd like to apologize to the rest of the team for not being in today but, you'll live without me.
