Left 4 Dead 2

The sequel to my favourite online Xbox game has been announced for release November 2009!

Left 4 Dead is an online co-op zombie shooter, and the sequel is going to be more of the same, with new characters, new weapons, new zombies, new campaigns and lots of other new goodies to discover.

I can't freakin' wait! Bring on the Boomers!

Some details about L4D2 I think are cool:

1. Incendiary rounds - pick this up and your bullets set the undead on fire...toasty!


2. Wandering witches - some levels are set in daylight, during which the witch has a bit of a stroll, if you bump into her she'll bump you off!


3. Changed game mechanics mean no boring camping - a lot of people stay in one place during 'crescendo' events in L4D - the sequel has ways to force you to stay on the move, which makes the game harder, but in my opinion more fun.
   

Roll on November, I'll be pre-ordering for sure! Meanwhile I'll still be playing the original as I just do not get tired of it!

Fit Weekend

Well the weather this weekend was hot and sunny throughout, and I managed to squeeze in plenty of exercise!

Saturday was the gym, where I did my usual plus 3 sets of 8 squats, and 3 sets of 8 deadlifts. Both were with pretty light weights - I think because I don't do them very often, I will start of light and make sure I've got the form dead right before adding more weight gradually. Felt really strong at the gym which is always nice!

Haven't yet ordered the Aussiebums, so will sort that out shortly!

Sunday I went for a long bike ride with the bf, although I cycle daily to and from work I haven't had a bike ride of this length for a long time! As a result, my quads are aching today but not horribly, and I feel like it was not only good exercise but also a good use of a Sunday afternoon!

Shame about my horrible hayfever at the moment, it's really bad and I'm suffering a lot. Roll on later in the summer when it fades away and I can enjoy the weather properly!

I'm also pleased that I've managed to drink a Hurricane shake every day, and am determined to keep that up now. I had one this morning, I think on a non-gym day I'll just have one and on a gym day have 2. I'm going to the gym tomorrow and Thursday - I don't think I'll get a chance to at the weekend though as I've got friends coming to stay!
