I just signed up at The Backloggery, I haven't gotten my games list sorted yet but if you want to check it out, click Backloggery at the top right of the page.

Well I just pre-purchased Left 4 Dead 2. Here's to hoping it's at least as good as the first one, it does look pretty freakin' sweet from this video that I found on the Steam Forums.

It still pains me to know that Bill, Francis, Louis and Zoey will probably be lost in the transition to L4D2, but I can still hope that L4D won't completely die, or that VALVe will eventually patch in support to play L4D content from within L4D2, giving people that own both games a good reason to play with both sets of characters.

Anyway, the demo for pre-purchasers releases in 3 days (Oct 27th) and then on Nov 3rd for people that haven't already bought the game, and I'll no doubt be recording the demo for my YouTube account Smacker626CCTV in case you don't have access to the demo.

That's all I have for now, later.

I accidentally stumbled across some more news of 3D Realms' fate. Apparently they're not gone, but the Duke Nukem Forever (DNF) development team was let go on May 6th. It's not great news, but it's a little better :).

Also, here's some leaked DNF media for ya:

• Gameplay and animations video in a GameTrailers.com user video.

Thief 4 has been officially announced :D.

Update: 3D Realms isn't gone! Read more in this post.

3D Realms, 1987-2009????

While I would have loved playing Duke Nukem Forever and all of the future titles 3D Realms would have brought us, I'm much more saddened by the loss of the company itself, and the history that surrounded it. We'll miss you 3D Realms!

Here is their goodbye post with a picture of themselves.

Note: The 3D Realms logo does not belong to me, I copied it from their site here, and host it myself in case their site is taken down.
