A bit much?

 
Currently
Left 4 Dead
By Electronic Arts

Really...isn't this a little over the top.  When will we draw the line on racism?

Also, in case anyone was wondering, I am playing Left 4 Dead for PC.  Great game.  I highly recommend it mostly for it's multiplayer goodness.  If you decide to get it, let me know so I can hook up with you in game.  It's a great time with friends.

Just passing by, but is Left 4 Dead a good single player game as well?

Also, yeah... that blackbird thing is a little strange. I'll see what some of my readers think.

Left 4 Dead is a decent single player game.  I had a good time with it, but it's clearly designed for multiplayer goodness.  There are four "movies" you play through, which provide, probably 10 hours of single player gameplay, but it's definitely a good deal of fun online -- especially the part where you can play versus mode rather than co-op.  Versus mode lets player characters be either survivors OR zombies, which is a fun time.

Okay. Thanks for the heads up. I also made a quick post about Blackbird and acknowledged that I stole the idea from you. Hope you don't mind lol.

I AM SO GLAD YOU'RE HOME!! Yeah, the blackbird thing is so stupid!! I am so sick of reverse racism! Barack Obama can say "typical white person" and not loose the Presidency, but if John McCain would have said "typical black person..." Seriously, where DO we draw the line?! Not to mention BET....we don't have a WET?! They can call themselves niggers and black, but we can't. We have to say African American. Whatever!! Anyway, love you! Again, glad you're back!

holy crap, just read the blackbird bit. they creators felt like race wasn't being discussed enough on the web? they should jump into any 'day of defeat' (or resembling fps) non-family-friendly server... there's alot of discussion on race on the internet.

but then there's the question, when is it racism and when is it racial pride? as in, does creating a 'African American only' web browser further segregate the racial divide (if there even is much of one anymore, maybe that's just me living in the NW) or does it help to shape and re-create a positive, proud identity to tout where once there was pain?

I was wanting to get this game. Glad to know you like it. Eric bought me an Xbox 360 elite for Christmas though so I may be busy with that, I have been waiting for Condemned 2 to come out on PC but I'll play it on Xbox instead now...but I will for sure check out this game..it looks like something I would like..

I agree that this is over the top but so is a looot of other stuff like it: TV shows, TV Stations (Like Danielle said), Clubs, Churches, Colleges, etcetc.... There is SO much more reverse racist things like this coming from the black community (or at least the silly ones like the ones that came up with this... although I've yet to hear from or meet one who does not do this sort of thing and call it "African American Pride".....Just an observation.. I hope I'm wrong) I mean... I guess it might be helpful to the african american community and all that but......... it's just fuel to the fire to separate regular news and the news that only depicts their own people. That's just stupid. I cannot honestly think of any other reason behind it then just plain reverse racism and closed-mindedness....

As for Obama .. I don't have any hateful feelings towards him and I hope he does well. I'm %99.9 sure he'll do a MUCH better job then Bush.... And really if you think about it... Reverse racist blacks don't have an excuse anymore because of him. They never really did anyway but the fact that they have one of their own elected as president of the USA... they cannot really ever complain again about how we hate them and poop like that. Racism should not exist at all but... it does.
