  • Left 4 Dead

    Last month three of my buddies/former roommates got together to give me a spectacular Christmas present: my own copy of Valve Software’s latest hit computer game, Left 4 Dead. Of course, the move wasn’t entirely altruistic as the game is designed for four-player co-op. Since then, I’ve been having a grand time blowing a motley…

He started playing Half-Life 2…
