I think just from consoles and console games alone I've spent over 10 grand.  I was being very conservative and picked O but when I think about money spent on new and upgrading PCs plus all digital and hard copy PC games then I'm sure I've spent closer to $20,000.

My experience playing online has been either teams full of griefing retards or the opposite (and IMO worse) super pro L4D bossy asshole who harps on you for every mistake and quits the game the second things go wrong.
 
Instead they ought to construct a time machine that streams the game from 10 years into the future when the L4D community has finally grown up.
 
In all seriousness though, I agree with those who have said the rounds should be shorter.  Scavenge Vs.  is easily my favorite mode in the game.

Only thing that caught me off guard was Dance Central.  That actually looks kind of neat.

I like to load up my ATVs/jeeps with a pile of C4 and drive it into enemy tanks/groups.  It's surprisingly effective if they don't see you coming.

It runs fine for me and my buddy but we both get bad lag/hang ups when you drive a car really fast.  You get used to it after a while and it really is a shame since the game is so fun.  Got it with the THQ steam pack, no regrets here.

Your first mistake was setting foot in a Gamestop

I just recently got hooked on this game.  After sitting down and pouring a good 4 hours or so into it, I finally feel like I'm used to the interface and the controls.  I figured I'd share the ongoing saga of my first fortress here and others could do the same.
 
I'll post some pictures later if anyone is interested.  The few seasons of my first foray into the untamed wilds have gone much better than expected.  Knowing nothing but the basics of survival, "Aluddur" (Brotherfist) was founded in a grassy hill at the foot of a mountain, in proximity of a freshwater stream and a couple of murky ponds.  I would later find out that I kind of screwed my little bearded friends right off the bat before they had even left the white cliffs of the Mountainhomes.  Rookies should note that dwarves without the appraisal skill are rather dull and have absolutely no concept of the value of goods whatsoever (the caravans love trading with me).  Also there is no possible way to create an anvil without already having an existing anvil, which probably spawned the old dwarven conundrum of which came first, the anvil or the anvil?  With no way of trading reliably and no way of making any sort of metal goods, everything my dwarves use is made out of fish bones, which apparently make great crossbows.  I've also come to absolutely despise the migrants as they seem to always show up immediately after I've finally gotten things under control.  I had some strange idea of filtering pond water down into the lower levels of my fort for farming which didn't pan out at all:  the pond basically emptied itself into the lower chamber and while no one drowned, the area directly below the main part of my fortress was rendered useless.  As a result of this and some strange urge to build up and into a mountain I've begun relocating the little devils to a whole other part of the map (which also happens to be closer to the nearby river, a plus).  All in all it has been a couple rather uneventful years, aside from a few kobold thief invasions (not my salmon bone crossbow, you swine!).  The population of Brotherfist is now up to 52, which is surprising to know considering not a single dwarf in the fortress can count.
 
I'll keep updating as I forge ahead into new feats of dwarfdom.  Hope to see some more stories in here as well!

It has happened a few times in games I've been in on the PC version too.  I think most people take L4D way too seriously (especially in VS mode) and in my opinion this makes the game less fun than having a shitty player on my team.
