Alright Shackers, let's rock out hump day the best we can. So you like the Left4Dead? Want to know more? We did too, and packed Aaron off to Seattle where he got to know it's undead denizens better, look for that in the near future. Speaking of Valve, there's confirmation that the Pyro class in Team Fortress 2 will be the next revamped.

Team Fortress 2 certainly has a zeitgeist around here, and to that I congratulate team Random Shackers for winning their bracket in the STA League. They beat the best three teams that Something Awful put forward you say? Well, shucks. Plus, we're looking to have a bit of fun with Ars community, let's see if the military might of Conde Nast is all that.

Fios TV

Verizon posted new channel lineups for Indiana and Oregon that will be effective 6/30 and 7/9 respectively. The new lineups have a bunch of new HD channels, and have moved most of the channel numbers around (for example HD channels will now start at 500 instead of 800).

  Cox just changed their HD lineup too, I think a lot of providers will be doing it this month, new relay satellites are coming online.

    Verizon has been talking about adding new HD channels for a while now, but they ran out of installed QAM channels at most of the COs. They are removing the analog channels in each of the markets to free up more QAM space and should be rolling out these new HD channels as they go.
