Got a few videos of tonight's game up. Would have more, but I got called in for another versus match elsewhere. More videos to come!

(was a constant barrage of attack from the lift to the saferoom!)

Again, I'll put more up from the other three levels tomorrow night.

Excellent! Weird watching things you were doing from the PoV of the other team. I was so close to Charging into the safe room at the end there...

Nice that both teams had the benefit of a patient Scot, dispensing sage advice to the noobs in a charming fashion! :D

How do you get the subtitles up like that?

Did you get footage of my ridiculous death on stage 3? That deserves immortalisation, you infected were devious bastards.

Well I was the charger in that scenario so I didn't see it from my point of view first time around, but, thanks to the handy-dandy drive feature of demo playback, I can fly about for a better view and now that I've seen what happened myself...oh my God what a one in a million series of events that was! The video of this will definitely be coming (but I'm going through the levels chronologically for now). No-one could ever do that on purpose again!

Also, it was in no way planned. Nor was the apparent 'everyone get Rudi' edict on the last level!

[EDIT - And of course, as soon as I type 'one in a million', something catastrophic had to happen to prevent the video from coming to light and indeed it has. Even though I immediately set my copy of L4D2 to NOT automatically update, it has done just that, rendering my recent batch of .dem files unusable (some game updates will break dem files recorded under previous engine versions). This is all Gabe's doing!

I'll hang on to the dem files as there are ways to get them working even after updates. Still some video from the second level to come but for now, levels 3 and 4 are in limbo. Sorry!]

How do you get the subtitles up like that?

You switch on 'full captions' in the audio menu. I actually forgot to turn them off when recording the footage.

Some more videos that I did get:

I try (and fail) to get frumious at the point of no return, but am a little too slow in positioning myself. That and the red petrol can right at the door would have killed me anyway :(

culminating in an almighty Charger fail by my good self.

We take it down eventually, but we're too battered to recover.

Because they're probably telling you their current names on Steam, rather than their Steam IDs.

So it's not this one here ?

I know someone had trouble trying to add me before but they found it the second time doing a search. The only other ID I have is mr_woo which appears in the Steam taskbar, not sure which one is actually used for adding friends.

I think the Charger is my favourite of the new infected. So powerful and satisfying when you get it right, actually quite scary in an adrenaline-rush way, and beautifully humiliating to watch when it fails, due to the potential for long, uncontrollable charges at nothing in particular.

They really screwed us over in that underpass area :)

I've not done any recording before - gfp how come your view is of you playing and interacting, but you're also moving up into the air as free look? e.g. when you're smoking Rudi at the end of the 3rd video

If you're referring to the weird way the Jockey dies in mid-air, it's not a glitch. The the 'Drive' feature of demo playback. It means I can fly around the map getting a better angle of the action but the character model I'm controlling moves with it. In this case, I was playing as the Jockey and I was really on that staircase when I got killed.

Just got one thing to say, if you want this on the 360 then get the fuck to the Bargains folder before Tesco catch on.

Shameless bump maybe, but its not going to last long so I figured, for that price, the Mukkers NEED to KNOW.

:eyebrows:

apparently its likely to be a price fail. So it might not get honoured. Also its a bit cheeky to put this on sale only a week or so after release, for cheaper than the 4 pack pre-order.
