Very nice haiku for gamers of any shootergame not just Left 4 Dead. Please go to youtube and also give respect to the creators.
For those who don’t know Left 4 Dead is a game where you are 4 humans versus a horde of zombies. Reach the goal before the zombies kill you. The fun of the game starts in the 4 vs 4(+horde) versusmode, where players play both zombie and humans in their respective rounds.
Goal of the game make sure the other team don’t meet their goal. But as in any game there are stupid teammates and this haiku perfectly shows how that feels.
5 haikus inspired by Left 4 Dead. Written by Paul Lucci. Animated and voiced by Carter Fort.

Valve made a little update to the game Portal yesterday adding in a new achievement – “Transmission Received”. Nothing special you would say certainly cause the achievement makes you go through all the levels again to collect all the radios and dump them on certain spots.
Once done the radios actually produce a morse code which hints towards GLaDOS rebooting.
Interior transmission active
External data line active
Message digest active
The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog
System data dump active
User back up active
Password back up active
Beep beep beep beep lol
Does this mean GLaDOS is rebooting!?!? If you get the achievement there is apparently an alternate ending to the blow her up scene.
There are more reports coming all over the internet that the secret messages also have a real terminal connected to them and that if you go to the specified adress the following appears:
GLaDOS login: backup

Apart from a colossal tsunami, here’s another effect of the 66.6 exajoules liberated by this weekend’s earthquake in Chile: NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory says that days will now be shorter because the quake shifted Earth’s axis by three inches. The change—which can only be measured thanks to computer models—will result in days that are 1.26 microseconds shorter than before. That’s 0.00000126 seconds shorter. There may have been more visible changes, like islands changing its position. One of them, Santa María, may have raised two meters after the shattering land move. This is not the first time this has happened, as every single earthquake has an effect on the planet’s axis. [Business Week]
This means I’m going home earlier today to make full use of my 1.26 microseconds shorter days xD. It is weird how much effect an earthquake can have and what I’m wondering now is how long till the next big one that’s going to give us a full day ;p
The most awesome gameshow ever will most likely return for a third season ^^. If you missed it, it’s a show with a show in it.
A group of Americans is taken to Japan to participate in the gameshow “Majide”, there they do typical Japanese gameshow stunts.
Season One
The first episode premiered on ABC on June 24, 2008. Tony Sano was host for this season. There were ten contestants in the first episode, with only one team game per episode. The season ran for seven episodes (unlike the second season) and the last episode screened on August 6, 2008.
Season Two
The second season premiered on June 17, 2009. Tony Sano did not return to host. In addition, the number of contestants increased from ten to twelve, and there are two team games per episode instead of one. The team that wins the first team game is given an advantage in the second, while the rest of the format remains the same. It ran for eight episodes and finished on August 5, 2009.
