Left 4 Dead News: Week 24

On last Friday, Week 24 was MIA. Tuesday is the new Mutation Day, since the new Mutation was only released on October 5th, when The Sacrifice was released.

On Week 24, we had the amazing “Taaaank!!!” Mutation.

Beyond Black Mesa: Sidewalk Is Over!

Beyond Black Mesa, the great fanfilm that shocked us with a stellar teaser trailer, and was announced to play at the Sidewalk Film Festival on September 25th, has left Sidewalk.

Apparently, they’re gonna circulate the film around to different film festivals before finally releasing it on the Net possibly sometime in mid-2011.

Either way, great job to the filmmakers for keeping the Lambda spirit alive!

Headcrab Zombie Statue Pre-Orders Are Live!

Outside of their Valve Store and their plushies, Valve has never released actual Half-Life merchandise.

The first action figure/statue/statuette/idunno is made by Gaming Heads, and costs 300 dollars.

Yes, it’s that expensive.

No, we’re not buying it either.
