I never knew Adolf Hitler is still alive and even a fan of Blizzard games. So when the bad news came that he won’t be able to go Lan party with his anticipated Starcraft 2, he went over the top berserk and cussing words at Blizzard. I’m afraid this could  lead to world war 3 and bloodshed…..just in World of Warcraft of course. Check out the video after the breakdown.

In the recent Blizzard’s conference, Starcraft II VP game designer Rob Pardo has officially announced that the local area network (LAN) support will not exist in this highly anticipated sequel of Starcraft, where the LAN feature actually has been the one who has helped the popularity of this game. Instead, the developers are pushing the users to use the Battle.net services to be able to utilize the online multiplayer capability.

According to this petition online, here’s the major reasons why to keep the LAN:

• There are still many that don’t have internet access with the required speed to play without lag, or would like to play with a friend or sibling residing in the same house. LAN is NOT an expensive upgrade, and once you have it, it’s yours.
• LAN is what birthed SC popularity in the first place. Please don’t ignore the heritage of the original game.
• Using LAN is a little bit of freedom. Often you might be at a friend’s place with the only option to ad hoc the wireless connections instead of using internet, excluding the Battle.net gaming possibility.
• There are little to no ill effects in implementing LAN compared to the advantages. Just look at SC1 now. Even with a laggy Battle.net, it is still selling so well that it once again reached top-10 on the NPD charts a decade after its release!
• LAN is a vital part of what makes StarCraft so great, and what will make StarCraft II even greater. It’s the sort of freedom we have come to expect from Blizzard Entertainment.

Don’t let this milestone in gaming history be forgotten by their ignorance or greediness! If you would like to support the online petition for the LAN support, visit http://www.petitiononline.com/LANSC2/petition.html

Joystiq.com has recently revealed that a planned demo release for Valve’s Left 4 Dead 2 will land on both Microsoft Xbox 360 and Windows PC platform. The award winning zombie survival game will be officially  released on November 17, 2009 and according to  Valve’s PR Doug Lombardi, the pre-order customers will be exclusively given advance access to download the multiplayer demo of Left 4 Dead. I’m not sure though if this multiplayer feature is for the local area network (LAN) or the Online Valve Steam services. Hopefully the Garena community will also be able to take advantage of this beta test as this sequel will be surely be left for dead if wont be compatible with our beloved Garena. While we are still waiting for this actual demo, check out our not too old comprehensive guide on Garena Online Multiplayer Guide for Left 4 Dead PC Game.

Parents blamed World of Warcraft for sleepless nights of their geeky kids grinding quests in Xoroth world instead of grinding their world literature assignments. Geeks blamed World of Warcraft for the swine flu outbreak too (story here). Now, the Blizzard’s own geek has revealed that the World of Warcraft can be blamed for long time delay of StarCraft II release.

Though the initial  development of StarCraft II started on year 2002,  Blizzard’s VP Rob Pardo explained that one of the reasons that StarCraft II have been delayed for for these past 6 years is because the original design team concentrated on finishing up the development of World of Warcraft.  Nonetheless, he continued that they have have brought their long run experiences in WOW to the current StarCraft development as it nearly perfects the class balancing.

“It’s been a long project for sure, but if you look at say World of Warcraft, or Warcraft III – or even the original StarCraft – there was a halfway point where we took a dramatic left turn and took a different direction. We haven’t done that with Starcraft II.”

FAQ [GA505]

Does Killing Floor has the console window like Left 4 Dead PC Game?

You can bring up the console window anytime by pressing the [`] key, (it shares same key with tilde [~]). Then type in the desired code on the console window.

setgravity #

Walk

Slomo #

god

Why am I having trouble with the console commands of this Killing Floor?

You might be using a mod version. One thing you might want to try is opening a map using the console rather than the menus. The in-game menu always starts a listen server, which means a lot of the commands are disabled. Opening a map from the command line will get you into a standalone game where the UT engine allows you much more freedom to use console commands

DOWNLOADS [PA203]

You must have an original Killing Floor PC Game or licensed Steam copy before you can patch it. You can go to official website of Garena.com to download the patch. The Killing floor patch is already being used publicly by Garena.com servers but we have not confirmed if the patch is according to the  license agreement given by Tripwire Interactive. Also make sure patch downloading is legal according to your country’s laws. We will not provide this patch to public  until it’s officially and legally distributed by the parties involved.

KILLING FLOOR HISTORY [PA202]

Killing Floor was originally a total conversion mod for the game Unreal Tournament 2004. Since the first release in 2005, the mod version had its fifth and final official update in 2008. While there was still development work done for a next update on the mod version, on March 2009 an announcement for a retail version of the mod went live. With the help from the original mod-team, the developer company for this Steam-distributable game would be Tripwire Interactive, best known for their WWII simulation first-person shooter Red Orchestra: Ostfront 41-45, which also originates as a modification for Unreal Tournament 2004.

On 2008, mod leader Alex Quick contacted Tripwire in order to negotiate about porting his mod to Red Orchestra and distribute it via Steam, similarly how Tripwire had already done with another Red Orchestra mod, Mare Nostrum. Apparently staff of Tripwire found Killing Floor’s mod version so entertaining and close to a professional game that they offered to make it a stand-alone retail game.

Killing Floor was released on May 14, 2009.
