No opinions, no arguments, no DISAGREEMENTS, because it's been proven with irrefutable fact.
I did a study on how Valve makes the best games and my results were that Valve has the best video game makers who know how to make the best video games.
So I dunno, maybe if you can get REALLY good video game makers, you can make good games. I'm sure there's some other dynamic variables, statistics, and number crunching algorithms as to how to make a good video game. But I think it all goes back to being good at making video games, which is what Valve does.
So for you nerds out there, I did this math problem for you
(v)*(vg^m+g)/(vg)=
Thanks friends!

left 4 dead
before it dies tomorrow by whoring itself to the public id like to spend my two cents on this blog.
i like a lot of things about it, i love the sniper, the lvl 2 shotty, the boomer, the witch, the tank, gas tanks, subway cars, dismemberment, pipe bombs, saying i found a pipe bomb that looks like a bike, bill, louis, shoving and shooting, headshots, healing, and duel wielding.
but what i love most of all is the community. sure pushing a hunter off a buddy of mine is pretty cool cause its like "HAI AMIGO THIS HELPING 'CHTHER THING IS MEGA SUGOI AMIRITE?! ^U%"
but when you start a game making fun of a guys screen name and end it feeling like youve really survived a apocalypse while still being a jerk the whole time talking about halo and smash bros is really cool. for me, BITCH!
and i think what does it is the frequency of boss zombies who keep reminding you, hey broo i jut got smoked help me the fuck out! not many games make you feel so important, something valve seems to make a practice of hl2 and tf2 being other examples.
basically if you want me to feel like im playing a bad ass game make me feel as though if i wasnt in your make believe world all hell would break loose. other games like halo or mario make me feel like, if i die they can just send in a squad of soldiers or luigi.
i need to feel as though im their only hope, i want to be obi wan. to make tyler happy just make the premise on the back of the box sound cool

When FPS' are "bad ass".
So, what constitutes as "bad ass"?
Killing every single demon that walked out of Hell and destroyed your space station on Mars? No, that's not nearly good enough. Afterwards, you walk straight into Lucifer's doorway and blow every god damn demon, succubus, and Cyberdemon back to fucking Jesus Christ himself. All for the sake of saying you wrecked Hell with just a double-barreled shotgun.
Or maybe planet earth did get invaded by aliens. Maybe they were more powerful in numbers, intelligence, willpower, and strength than every single human ever. All except Serious Sam, whom steamrolls the entire fucking race carrying a monolith that shoots cannon balls at 88 m/ph, all while wearing a white t-shirt and jeans. Look at that SERIOUS face.
What about a bad ass who already died? That's not gonna stop Daniel Garner, who sets up a deal with Mysterious Faggot from Faggotville to kill all of Hell's strongest generals with a laserropesawblade, a freezerayautoshotgun, a shurikenthrowinglightninggenerator, or a jesuschristfuckingminigunturretrocketlauncherareyoufuckingkidd
ingme. God wins, again.
Or maybe, just MAYBE, it's a summer afternoon, doing your daily jazzercises, baking some bagels, and having a generally super day. Until you get teleported to an arena designed by Satan's personal cabinet, and get blown up within half a second before you realize you're somehow ressurected, and then get blown up again. You try and figure out what the fuck is happening before some guy, who you're pretty sure is smoking a cigar, jumps - yes jumps - faster than freeway traffic and blows your head off with a shotgun. Then you're ressurected and this repeats itself around 30 times until you realize you have no more aspirations, goals, desires, or purpose to live anymore. Your only choice, is to kill. Your only goal, is to kill. Your only desire, is to kill. Your aspiration, is to kill the best. Kill them good.
Oh, but those are old games. Damn those are old. They're not good anymore. If you like them, you suck. Because they're old. The definition of old is: not quality; the opposite of quality; shit. So what's a NEW bad ass game? Something that breaks the boundaries of awesome, you ask?
This game. THIS game. Are you serious? Seriously? Yeah I am. What's more badass than my step-father, that guy who belongs in Office Space, a bi-curious tattoo salesman, and some sandwich making bitch putting away those retarded stereotypes I just made up, because the entire country's been infected with a virus that makes them want to kill everything that's not them. Not eat, not rape, not infect, kill. By the by, only you guys and probably 0.5% of the population are naturally immune. So what you gonna do?
I tell you what you gonna do. You gonna take a pistol, a med pack, some pills, and a gun of your choice to blow away every fucking zombie that comes within 5 miles of you. You will be strangled, vomited on, and fucked in every orifice, but most of all, you will survive. You'll survive when sixty zombies break through a wall you thought was safe from breaking. You'll survive when that retard sets off the car alarm and you have no med packs, no pills, and are hopelessly limping on one leg. You'll survive when you hear the deafening scream of the horde come at you, and ONLY you, because everyone else is dead. You'll survive when the director decides to be a dick and have a smoker strangle you away from the group, with boomer vomit following suit.
You'll also survive when this will happen differently every single time the game is played, but is no less challenging. It's four people against the world, and it is bad ass.
