l4d2 you say?!

Nice!

I don't get how valve can consistently come out with awesome things. tf2 free to play, source games on both Pc as well as for those mac eejits, and now for linux users too. Steam just working, no stupid punkbuster bullcrap. Why don't other companies even get close?

Things have been going well. We will be having an internal beta starting next week, and a private external beta for 1,000 users sometime in October.

Haven, you realise if you stopped being awkward, then things would be less awkward for you?
