Killing Floor has come up on the daily deals for... you guessed it, 75% off ($4.99)!

If there's any of you who still don't have it, now is the time!


P.S. If any of you have been looking at the Metacritic score and thinking it was a bit lower than your usual, those reviews were made when the game was first released. Since initial release, the game has been undergoing constant improvement. The most recent update was this month with 7 new weapons and a new official map.

I went there on my holiday to Canberra last year. It was alright.

And apparantly we had a hugeass storm on Christmas Eve. It woke up everyone in my house.


Except me. I slept through it. I snore louder than thunder, apparantly =w=;

I was forced to wake up early by thunder. My dog can't stand thunder, so naturally I have to wake up as well.

Anybody else get a bunch of hail? My Indian housemates had never seen it before, one asked if it was snowing and when it got heavy I had to yell over the din to explain that they should move their cars or suffer a possible cracked windscreen.

Y'know, I'm finally gonna jump on that and get all the DLC.

Also, guys, if anybody's got nothing to do, my swords are sitting here lonely. If anybody wants to come around and split the cost of one or two of those big crates of waterbottles, I bet we could set up some cool trick-cuts

Hey - you only get to make fun of Perth and Western Australia if you've lived here. I'm sure that's a rule I read somewhere. Or entirely fabricated in my mind.
Anyway, I'll make sure that you're first against the wall when Western Australia secedes and then invades the rest of Australia.
