Clan night tonight. 8pm PT. Left 4 Dead.

After last week's let down with Xbox Live being broken, I'm expecting tons of folks logging on this week with fervid anticipation. As usual, first come, first served. Will try my best to accommodate everyone.

Clan night canceled

Xbox Live is still down, clan night is canceled for this week. Sorry for the inconvenience. Take this opportunity to play some campaign on your own and get intimate with the maps.

Clan night postponed to 9pm PT

Xbox Live is currently still down. Will try to start L4D again at 9pm PT. Thanks for your patience.

Clan night as usual tonight, first come, first served. As a reminder, Xbox Live is supposed to be undergoing maintenance today and I don't know when it will be back up. If it's down at 8pm PT, I'll try again once more at 9pm PT.

Xbox Live Downtime

On Tuesday, June 16th from 7:01AM UTC (12:01 AM PST) for up to 24 hours, Xbox Live will be offline for maintenance. As a result, Xbox LIVE and the ‘My Xbox’ section of Xbox.com will be unavailable, and the Xbox forums will be in read only mode (you won’t be able to post.) This service maintenance is to prepare for some of the recently announced features that will be available later this year.

This could potentially interfere with clan night, but we won't know until then. For now, keep planning on clan night next Tuesday.

First Come, First Served

Just a gentle reminder that clan night operates on a first come, first served basis. Both the Xbox Live party and the L4D game have a party size limit of 8, so the first 8 players logged in get to play. This also means that if we are full, I can not add you into the party to discuss why you are late and what to do about it. And if we are in the middle of a campaign, I also will not stop the game to answer your messages or chat requests. Sending me a chat request every 5 minutes will not get me to respond to it either. As players drop, I will add players waiting in the order that they got in the queue. If there is more than 1 player waiting, I may pause the game to connect them in a Survivor lobby on their own, but don't count on it.

To date, there have never been 8 players all on right at 8pm. So if you want to play, it is in your best interest to show up on time.

Wishing a very happy birthday to MEAN MR MONKEY tonight. Hopefully he gets some delicious brains to go with his Kindle and birthday cake. Word.

Clan night tonight. 8pm PT. Left 4 Dead.

Who will win tonight? The Zombies? Or the food?

Left 4 Dead 2 : November 17, 2009

L4D2 has been announced with a slated released date of November 17. It comes with new melee options like the chainsaw, frying pan, axe, baseball bat, and additional blunt-force objects. Valve has also detailed the new AI Director 2.0, which will not only affect how many of the undead you'll be tackling at any given time, but will also dictate weather effects, world objects, and pathways provided to the players.

Facebook and Twitter Coming to XBL

Submitted by OmniscientDeath:

Facebook and Twitter will be coming to the Xbox Live service. Microsoft's press event included short demonstrations of what are effectively Facebook and Twitter clients for the gaming console, aesthetically adapted to the Xbox Live interface. Facebook Connect standard--which was rolled out first to Web developers, and then to iPhone developers--is coming to the Xbox this fall. This means that players will be able to log in with their Facebook accounts and broadcast their gaming activities on their social-network profiles.

H3 ODST: September 22, 2009

Just announced at E3 - Halo 3: ODST will be released to the public on September 22, 2009. Mark your calendars now! Additionally, buying H3 ODST will invite you into the just announced Halo Reach, which sounds like the next big title in the Halo franchise.
