First of all, I am not Vika, sorry Vik, as usual I have to borrow your ID.
Ahh finally someone posting l4d. This isn't really a guide on l4d though, more like a list of helpful l4d information (or some funny things) that I found in its official forum.
Yes, yes, I know that most of you ppl don't play l4d (orly?), don't flame me, at least there is something to be read (or rather, viewed) in this blog once in a while.
Well, here you go.
Update: few more links and I indicated the links for clarity.

This is the l4d exact statistics for those number-calculating-gaming freaks *cough* wesley *cough*, heck they even found out that exploding pipe bombs and propane tanks does exactly 1 damage 33 feet away =_=.

VERY nice advanced tips. This just shows how detailed the makers of l4d, Valve, made this game.

This is a research entitled: "A study of migratory habits of Hunterous Aerialis in the area of Survivorus Incapati" (lol the latin names) done by advanced players ,obviously, to find out about the tendency on hunter-pouncing-incaps. You should open the images he provided for clearer understanding. Its funny, yet enlightening; written in the form of scientific review for humorous purposes.
@ken this is the one i talked about on the sunday night match, the one with all pros in the server.

Deadly ball statue, highly amusing, the main part is the later half of the vid, around 1 minute and 3 seconds onwards. Again, this just shows how detailed and real l4d is.

Why is crashsshhhhh! The essential crash solutions.
I didn't read all of them yet (lol), considering the time when I posted this *yawn*.
Vika, you better do sth to keep this blog alive, why don't you post the chemical structure of viagra, and explain how it works. Or you can ask wesley to find the Young's Modulus of condom materials or whatever (they can break during intercourse, according to our biology textbook,... srsly..). Notice that we've currently got only 4 posts (including this) for this year.
Ends here, I may post more thingies on l4d later, provided that biology homeworks will not kill me.
Credits goes to everyone who made these posts and threads and videos, thank you very much!
