This is The Gamer's the Jobs conference call for January 18th, 2012.

I'm your host, Sean Andrich, and joining me this week we have Mr. Julian Murdoch.

You know what my favorite part of the week is?

Counting you in at the beginning of the show.

That air of expectation,

like something awesome's about to happen. Or Sean's about to fuck up, you know, one of those, one of those two. Also joining us, always professional, Mr. Rob Zakney. More professional than the Green Bay Packers.

I'm sorry, the defending world champion Green Bay, Green Bay Packers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I really like the State Farm commercials, you know, with the whole belt thing. And the only people I saw doing that, this, the tonight was, was the Giants Defenders. Every time they sack them, they do the belt thing over them. It's just, oh, it's brutal. It's like watching a video game. So that's our sports talk for this week. We were going to be joined by Corey Banks as well, but he tweeted

earlier today about not feeling so hot. So we imagine he has curled up under 10 pounds of

blankets right now. So hopefully he feels better soon. I'm sure he's being very stoic.

Stoically weeping. And it was my little pony pillow. So this week, we're all bringing our own topics to the show. Frankly, I don't even know exactly what they're going to be. So it'll be a surprise for me, too. So we're going to talk about a few different things. And, of course, we have your emails, and we have some Twitters. Let's go ahead and start with video games. And, you know, I haven't played a whole lot new, but Rob, I just kind of wanted to note that you, myself, Hedge Wizard, and Corey, had a rollic in good time playing Left for Dead

2 on Friday night. Oh, man. Talk about a game that I always sort of forget how good it is. Because I go through Fits and Starts with it, where it's like I'll have a week or two where I'm playing it almost every other night, you know, with a different group of people. And then I just sort of get away from it. And then like always, like two or three months later, I come back and I realize this game is phenomenal like I am hard pressed to name a better co-op experience and

playing with you guys was a total like hanging out at the corner bar type experience like the feeling

of presence you know in the left for dead group is just incredible now are they releasing any new

content well that's actually what we're well I mean I mean, it's not really that new, but what we were playing was the user created Coldstream map. Right, which is like sort of beta-ish content. Kind of. I mean, it's actually got, it was a mod team that did it, and I think Valve sort of took it under their wings. So there is some voice acting in there I believe at least I think so there's writing on the walls and the safe

houses and all that stuff it feels like like a retail valve map it just also happens to be

hardest balls it's really difficult compared to the other ones which you kind of want in when

if you're going to get new content for a game that's been out for a while.

Unless you're me, in which case that would just send you back screaming into the holes.

Yeah.

Well, it pretty much did to us, too.
