| Community | What do Zombies Think? While cleaning/moving our offices around (all our desks at Valve are on wheels so we can have desk races), we discovered this old, long ago used Zombie decision making tree. It was created before our session with Mike Patton to record the common zombie sounds.

| Community | Happy Birthday 2 Us On this date last year, we released Left 4 Dead 2. The year before Left 4 Dead debuted. The team would like to thank the over 9 million people who have taken the time to prepare for the upcoming zombie apocalypse.

| Community | October 29th Update Bleed Out Versus, You Rock, Halloween? Bleed Out Versus Now you have a good excuse for rushing through Versus. There is no permanent Survivor health, it is all temporary and it is ticking down. Even if you don’t normally play Versus, this is a great mutation to try.

Steam on the Mac will behave just like Steam for Windows, but through Steam Play will add cross-platform ownership. That me… | — | |
| Community | We're back! As many of you might have heard , Gabe and I went to Australia last week to try out the Source MOD made by Joe W-A, after he was able to raise the funds for the $3000 plane ticket in less than 48 hours.
