A new L4D2 DLC has been announced some time ago. Does it look similar to you ?
Damn, I can't wait till the L4D fanboys start claiming that KF's Mountainpass is only a ripp-off of this ...

Spoiler!
Don't ever buy Rosewill. I ordered a new PS, video card, CPU, monitor, motherboard and RAM for a new PC, and instead of the most annoying thing about the process being having to reformat my HDD to use Windows 7 64 (I have 32 but I guess can only use a maximum of 3 GB with 32) instead my power supply was DOA. Look at the reviews on that. Somehow my dad missed those when he recommended it to me. 19 (20 once mine gets submitted) one egg reviews out of 94 total. Considering I've seen PSes with 700+ reviews and only around 50 one egg reviews, that is an unacceptably bad percentage. Rosewill should pull that piece of **** from the market. Or QC their damn items! There's nothing like waiting for your new PC only to find out the thing that will turn it on won't work.
So yesterday was a pretty good day for me.
The Doors have always been my absolute favorite band - even above Type O Negative - and last night Ray Manzarek was in town. I wanted to go, but I couldn't justify spending $80.00 for tickets for me and my wife. Well, I won tickets to see last night's show.
Then, a little later on in the day I got an email. See, I took the test to be a contestant on Jeopardy a couple months back. Turns out that I passed the test, and they want me to come to LA next month to audition in person. And then it was quitting time at work, so I got to go home and get ready for the concert.
Went to pick up my wife at her office, and we drove to the theater. It's in an old part of the city, so the streets are fairly narrow and there's not much in the way of parking. The theater is a beautiful old art deco-style movie theater from the 1930's. I pulled up to the theatre .... and the first spot, the one right next to the door, was open. I got the absolute best possible parking spot.
The opening act was awful, I'll tell that right up front. Some local group called '3 Guys Playing The Blues.' They were absolutely awful. Partly they pissed me off by being '3 guys' when there were actually 6 guys in the band. Their sound guy couldn't get the levels right. The horns were shrill. The vocals were almost inaudible. Anyway, they sucked.
It made the contrast that much more amazing when Manzarek came out. The guy is amazing. He's just a god with a keyboard. He's touring now with a guy that plays the slide guitar, and they have a bassist and a drummer backing them up. They play blues, mostly original stuff. They played three sets. In the break between the first and second, the other guys took a break and Manzarek played an extended instrumental version of The Crystal Ship, which was just beautiful. Really, really beautiful. That's always been one of my favorite songs by The Doors, and it just gave me chills hearing it.
Second set break, Manzarek answered some questions about The Doors. Incidentally, the guy is hilariously, brutally sarcastic and has a very low tolerance for stupid questions from stupid people. For instance: "What was it like watching Jim write?" "Well, have you ever seen someone holding a pencil? It was a lot like that. Like watching someone else holding a pencil and moving it around on a piece of paper."
Encore was Riders on the Storm. Again, beautiful.

I've been playing keyboards for awhile, and Ray Manzarek has always been my idol.
I've posted this in the Awesome Videos thread, but I think it's worth posting again. This guy is amazing. And I wish I had his Vox Continental.

Liked the post after reading the 2nd sentence Peter. 
Speaking of Ray, there's an old professor, head of slavistics at my college, who happens to look a lot like him nowadays.
Btw, did they play Soul Kitchen, that's one of my favourites?

That guy's good.
When I was in college, a friend of mine had a copy of the sheet music for Light My Fire. I had a little Casio keyboard that my dad gave me when I was about 6 to annoy my mom, but I'd never done more than just bang out 'Mary Had a Little Lamb.' I sat down with the sheet music and about 3 months later ... voila. Only thing I could ever play on the piano, though. (I didn't have a completely cold musical start, though - I'd been a musician for about 12-14 years by that point, playing one or another of 5-6 musical instruments.)

Sadly, no. Only Doors stuff they did was Crystal Ship and Riders.
Soul Kitchen is great - actually, there's not a bad track on that first album.
On LSD: Ray had a lot to say about that. He ******* loves that stuff. One of the questions asked at the second set break was "Hey man, do you have a source for some really primo LSD?" The answer was: "Yeah, guy named Jeff Goodrich. He moved to Spain back in the 70's, though. You might have trouble finding him but hey, look him up. Tell him I said hi."
looks like Paul WS Anderson played some Assbro before making the new Three Musketeers film
the three musketeers and the 17th century setting it takes place in existed long before "assbro" was ever conceived by the morons at ubisoft.
How about posting something positive for a change.
Foolishly decided to drink a bit of coffee late last night so I decided not to sleep at all and made a little video of myself, with the intent of negating the use of my existing footage so I can kind of start fresh.

Coffee makes me go to sleep for some reason, especially hot coffee. If I ever drink coffee in the morning it's usually cold with 3/4 milk.
