Just based on the simple scene of a modified armored but beat to crap car full of thugs driving down the highway with a molotov cocktail streaming fire in the air and I'm sold.  I would totally play that game!   Brings back great memories just seeing these.  I also get a sort of updated but still old school John Carpenter feel from the music.  I hear a voice from the past asking me "Can you dig it?" and I whole heartedly answer Yes I Can!

At what point does Giant Bomb just put up live streaming cams broadcasting 24 hours a day?  Sure they would likely be super boring most of the time (and really boring when they aren't there at all) but we could watch them like they were some sort of zoo exhibit.

Tom Sowell?  Perhaps he meant C Thomas Howell (look him up on IMDB if needed, likely something you have seen him in if you don't know who he is).  Though, I don't really see or hear the resemblance.  
 
Personally sometimes when I hear Brad I get an image of Thomas Haden Church which isn't really a sound alike either but I hear similar 'notes' from time to time.

Is Borderlands the new Fallout?  I don't mean as similar games or anything, that arguments been hashed and rehashed, then diced and chopped and pureed for good measure.  I mean, are we going to have Borderlands talk in some fashion (be it QL's or on the Bombcast) for the next year or so like we did with Fallout?  I for one hope so!

Nothing wrong with you at all.  That's training man, pure training.  You know the scene in Bourne Identity when Matt Damon is able to tell his companion about every exit, vehicle in the lot, and all the other fine details without so much as looking like he was trying to learn these things?  It's like that.  You know that pills are important so you are always, on some level making sure to mark their location when you come across them.
 
I do it too.  I've even worked it into conversation.  A woman at work the other day calls out to nobody in particular "anyone have some aspirin, my head is killing me?" to which I jump up, reach into my pocket pulling out the little bottle of Aleeve I just so happen to carry around with me and holler "Pills here!"

If it was a true Dennis Miller-ian rant, it would have ended with him kneeling on an American flag while sucking off Bill O'Reilly. "
  I thought about that, hence I referenced "old school Dennis Miller-ian. . . "  You know, when he used to be funny?  I was picturing myself behind the old Weekend Update news desk scribbling on a piece of paper and saying "that's the news, and I. . . am. . . outta here!"

I too am disheartened at all this "it better be free" talk.  You expect people to work on something, produce a good or service and then just give it away freely?   They may have set a precedence of doing this but that doesn't justify demanding it of them.  If when they release it they happen to say "oh, by the way, this one's on us" then that's fantastic but if they should choose to ask for a little money to help pay for the simple man hours used to create the thing or other technical aspects of it as well then who are you to cry foul on them?  Why don't you go tell your boss you don't really need to be paid for the work you do?  See how far that takes you.  
 
I for one am pleased with what L4D2 offered and was perfectly glad to pay full price for it.  Assuming it is a quality piece of work (which I fully expect it will be) I will also be fine with purchasing this DLC.  Valve has a track record of supporting their fans through great games and continued support of those games but with game houses closing down and plenty of people in the gaming industry likely wondering if/when they might be told they will no longer be receiving a paycheck I think it is understandable and justifiable for Valve to ask us to show our support for them through purchasing their games and what sounds like a fairly large content update as well.
 
Of course, money talks, and if people don't buy the DLC your vote may be heard in the matter, but you may not like the results.  If not enough people buy it yet Valve determines that they do in fact need to charge for further updates they could in time decide it isn't financially prudent for them and suddenly no more updates.  Where does that get us?  Less quality games and content to play and enjoy.  Am I saying you must buy this DLC to ensure a quality future?  No, but if you appreciate their work and want them to continue, show your support a little, get out your wallet and quit bitching.  Skip a trip or two to Burger King and I bet you can afford to get this content.  I bet you get enjoyment out of it for longer than you would that fast food.

At what point does this game explain how to play it?  Though I do have to admit (maybe somewhat guiltily) that I really like a lot of the songs I saw included.
 
Also, apparently Andy has played this before, or just knew the choreography for Eye of the Tiger.
 
I give this quick look 4/5 stars, all it was missing was a little Brad doing what he does best. . . if there is a way to die I bet he could find it.  I demand a follow up with just Brad.
