I'll definitely purchase this game Feather.

Although playing with me on the survivors team will probably involve me screaming like a little girl.

Of cpourse, playing with me on the side of the zombies will probably involve me screaming "Brrrraaaiinnnsss" a lot, so I guess you're screwed either way!

You're buying this Eagle? You're the biggest gaming wuss I know!

Eagle playing the start of Doom 3 still ranks as one of the funniest gaming moments I've ever seen. I'll never forget his reaction when he flicks "The Switch" and it all goes bad. He ran screaming from the room all the way back to the main base, past all the spawning zombies and dead things, ignoring them all in his blind terror. I'm sure they were like "WTF? What's his problem?". I only got him to agree to try it by claiming it'd be an excellent Tech Demo / Test for his new machine.

Playing Silent Hill 2 with him in the room was funny too (although that freaks me out as well)

Which is exactly why I'll be an excellent addition to this game on an all talk server!

In fact, they should pay me to play the game!

Valve: You want the experience of being in a zombie survival movie?
Gamers: Yeah, sure, can't wait to play.
Valve: Unfortunately, the only thing we can't replicate is the zombie film staple of having a completely hysterical individual who screams a lot, you know, a complete pussy!
Gamers: hmmm, you've obviously never heard of this LazyEagle character so!

I want lots of "That's it. Game over man. Game over" Hudsons quotes from you.

I'll probably end up buying this too, Steam is a bastid for making me buy stuff (I bought and was playing XCom, aka UFO, last night thanks to Steam).

I'm after checking out some of the screenies for this on Eurogamer. Looks great!

Is it wrong that I expect the zombies to break into a synchronised 80s dance routine at any minute?
