    I said it somewhere else...

    Preorder exclusive hats only make those of us who can't afford to buy L4D at launch feel alienated. And it also makes me feel like Valve really hates me for not being able to pay for the game right away.

    Dammit Valve, I liked you. What the hell is going on with you? :( #left4dead2

    @Kitsune Sniper: Good God. Seriously?

    The company wants you to spend more money on their products so they give you an incentive to do so. You don't want to or can't. That should be the end of it. Seriously, alienated? Did it make you feel alienated when the guy in front of you at Subway used a full stamps card to get his sub for free (back when they were doing that) but you had to pay for yours in full? Oh no! The sandwich artists might think less of you!

    I swear, people tie their self esteem to the most pointless crap these days. #left4dead2

    But that rewards system had already been in place. This was just tacked on to get hat obsessors to pay for a game they may not even play once. #left4dead2

    I've never understood the phrase "parallel dimensions." Width is a dimension; the only thing parallel to width is width itself. If anything, it should be a perpendicular dimension. #left4dead2

    @AnOkayLumberjack: Perhaps "parallel universe" is more appropriate. What they mean, of course, is the idea that all universes (sometimes seen as dimensions) lie on a flat planes of existence more or less on top of each other. Imagine it like slices of Kraft pre-sliced cheese. They usually stay to themselves, but sometimes... things happen. Perhaps two of the universes bend close to each other and touch. Perhaps a warp or tear in time-space occurs, creating a wormhole between two universes. Perhaps experiments were being done and hats fell off tables.

    In the end, just a theory. Completely unprovable at this point. #left4dead2

    @AnOkayLumberjack:
    Dimensions:
    width
    hight
    depth
    time

    those are the dimensions humans perceive and travel thorough
    there is a suspected 11-20 dimensions.

    For example Gravity potentially has a dimension all to itself, hence why it is stupidly weak compared to the 3 other Fundamental Forces.
    Some models suggest that parallel dimension (which are more timeliness than dimensions) splinter off whenever a chocie is made(normally mistaken to be a choice a human has made, they actually mean the choice of electrons, or smaller) and it could be possible to jump between these parallel timeliness, but as of yet we have no way of doing that. #left4dead2

    THIS IS JUST ANOTHER EXAMPLE OF A CORPORATION TAKING ADVANTAGE OF ITS CUSTOMERS' DESIRE FOR COMPLETIONISM AND HUALAGAGALUGUSGAHG.

    This has oddly made me more excited to have pre-ordered L4D2 than the prospect of playing the actual game. #left4dead2

    There's a reason why I waited to get TF2 until the $2.50 sale, and why I don't own L4D at all yet - I don't have teh moniez.

    I'm too broke to afford the $45 preorder...but I want cool hats too! ;_;

    You know what this does? This is a class barrier - Valve is creating a better, behatted bourgeoisie, and a hatless proletariat class. Well, just you wait! THE HATLESS WILL RISE AND TRIUMPH! WE WILL 0WN THE MEANS OF PRODUCTION!

    Found this out tonight as I was finishing up my Halloween achievements. That hat looks really good on, well, everyone!

    A little off topic, but since it just hit midnight, I literally JUST hit my last achievement at 11:59pm - that is to say, if the achieves stopped at midnight, then I am the luckiest person EVER. Unbelievable. #left4dead2

    @Sonira - Kojima-san doesn't have to make Metal Gear any more.: Everything that is mainstream gets chibi-yaoi treatment.

    Star Trek, Watchmen, Mythbusterts

    It doesn't matter. As long as there are two males that can mate.
