Evening Reading: Inoculations

You may have noticed Brian hasn't been around this week. He got hit full-force with the flu over this past weekend and is at home recuperating--not playing Cataclysm (at least so he says). As fate would have it, both Xav and Jeff are fighting off bugs as well. All of which got me thinking about flu shots. I've never gotten one but maybe they're not such a bad idea.

On the other hand, I just installed Cataclysm myself and wouldn't mind a little time to level, rrr ... rest up. In the meantime, here's what made news around the Shack today:

I wonder when Romsteady is going to update his Left 4 Dead 2 mod:

Grenade Fest / Tank-60 / Tank-60 Realism Mutations

I'm hearing that he's going to add some new stuff in there tonight! :D

      Romsteady said that it will be "Probably be another day on the items and a few other ant_hillbilly-requested changes."

  I've been working late this week. I've got tons of pieces in "Tank-60" already, and once I've got those tested, will retrofit them into "Tank-60 Realism" and lastly I'm still working on a few balance fixes for "Grenade Fest."

        I actually didn't see two tanks when we played. I heard the music and then it just stopped while I was looking around for it.
        
        Vaporizing witches head-on is so fun that I wonder if it is even legal in Texas.

        How about like a 12 second window before the tanks spawn?

        I'm a little restricted in what I can do with the mutation framework, but as I learn more, I'm getting less restricted.

        I read that part. But I don't know what those are either.

        "Gib-Fest" Survivors start with a magnum and an unlimited ammo M-60.
        
        "TAAAAAAANK!" All infected players spawn as tanks.

  I got some work done tonight, then couldn't stare at code anymore, so I went and beat Fable III.
