Eminem's sound advice for Left 4 Dead players

Eminem seems to be getting in on Soulja Boy's music and videogaming status in this clip. In the video (probably NSFW audio), he makes damn sure that all of you Left 4 Dead players out there know what to do in a certain situation. In fact, he seems very passionate about the subject indeed, and rightly so. It's a little known fact that over 100% of Left 4 Dead players have suffered at some point from the affliction that Eminem so boldly and admirably attempts to prevent. Good on you, Mr. Marshall Bruce Mathers III. Good on you.

Cookigaki5587d ago

This made Cookigaki lol for reals.

UnSelf5587d ago

is this what eminem has been doin durin his hiatus?

slave2Dcontroller5587d ago (Edited 5587d ago )

Your name and Avatar is SICK! Its hilarious and clever as hell man! +Bubble for that ish alone. You have NAILED the the texture of how Itagaki skin looks. Classic!

dragunrising5587d ago

Maybe people will listen now. I'm amazed every time some Christmas noob runs and guns for the witch....even after I tell them not to. On hard, your as good as dead.

BRG90005587d ago

Right. People are going to change their playstyles because Eminem shouted at a camera. It's nice to imagine, but overly optimistic.

Powertesties5587d ago

something about Eminem being super fat?
Haha

Elven65587d ago

The full clip is way better, he talks about being raped by this old lady who he calls the "Hip Hop Witch".

http://www.youtube.com/watc...

Bnet3435587d ago

Eminem is my favorite rapper back in the day. His lyrics were awesome in The Eminem Show. I can't believe he plays video games. That's weird. I don't know why.

Xlll5587d ago

This has nothing to do with L4D lol he's talking about the hip hop witch.

MikeGdaGod5587d ago

....the gimmick is played out

pixelsword5587d ago

This is a clip from something else that had nothing to do with Left4Dead.

ripten.com goes down a notch in respectability... again.

CommonSense5587d ago

that for most of you this is a stretch. but if you just watch a little more and pay attention, you'll see there is actually a full video this was edited from. and what he is talkin about has absolutely NOTHING to do with left 4 dead. and if you can believe this, witches was a word for a year or 2 before left 4 dead even existed.

i know this is hard for all of you to understand, but just close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, and you too will realize, there's a whole world of things ppl can talk about that are completely unrelated to video games. this video being one of them.

uie4rhig5587d ago

The Relapse.. will be released Feb 09 :)

Amnesiac5587d ago (Edited 5587d ago )

"Eminem is my favorite rapper back in the day. His lyrics were awesome in The Eminem Show."

Dude, The Eminem Show is TERRIBLE lyrically compared to his first two major records.

You should go buy the Slim Shady LP and Marshall Mathers LP, the rest of his records don't even come close to the first two major releases.

SRU96005587d ago

Eminem is a morally bankrupt lowlife, who needs to stop the tuff guy act and start being the man that he already thinks he is.

It's time to grow up, my friend.

SRU96005587d ago

Yes, very beautiful.

I can only imagine the things that are out there that we will never see...

Amnesiac5587d ago

Yeah, sometimes when I think about deep space and theoretical physics it really overwhelms me.

We really are just insignificant beings on an insignificant rock orbiting around an insignificant star in an insignificant galaxy.

Man, I feel insignificant. lolz

SRU96005587d ago

"Man, I feel insignificant"

God thinks we are VERY significant.

That's enough for me. : )

Amnesiac5587d ago

Oh geez..."God". LOL.

Sorry, but I equate believing in God to believing in the Easter Bunny.

To each his own though(beliefs that is).

SRU96005587d ago

That's ok, I figured as much. : )

This is from when he was high back in 2000 or something I saw this before

What a wuss. I always attack the witches because their crying annoys me.

Milk is for Babies5587d ago

You obviously don't play on hard.

h0tz0rz5587d ago

What a sensitive guy. I sure wish I could meet someone like you...

Twizlex5587d ago

Yeah, because how I act IN A GAME is the same way I act in real life.

Idiot.

Vault Boy5587d ago

Play nice, kids.

On topic, I usually fight the witches too. I always see it as a challenge, the way they just sit there and wait for you to attack them. They're asking for it!

Timesplitter145587d ago

I always shoot all the cars to set off alarms.

I just can't resist.

bassturd5587d ago

you can down a witch in one shot on hard. Wuts ur point?

Smart players put her down before she does damage. One blast to the head as she gets up and shes no problem at all instead of allowing an idiot player to wake her and get downed.

Rhoic5587d ago

That's what I do.. I've actually become too good at the game.. Usually when I hear a witch I don't even care and I run up right to her face and before she reacts I pump 1-3 rounds of semi-shotty into her skull. And yeah, I do the car alarm thing to.. lets me rake in a mess load of kills, and I'm able to survive just about every time anyways. Even on Expert.

greeneggsnsam5587d ago

Anyone got the headshot achievement yet? I got it by jumping on her head and giving her a blast form the autoshotty.

Milk is for Babies5587d ago

Nope, that one always manages to elude me. I got the one for headshotting a jumping hunter though, but I just can't seem to one-shot the witch.

Twizlex5587d ago

^^
Same. That's why I always attack them. I want that damn achievement!

Rhoic5587d ago

Semi-Auto shotgun is the only way to get it. As above mentioned, run right up to her. She wont attack you for about 4 seconds.. in the time period, just unload into her face and you'll probably get it. S'how I got it. She also almost NEVER has a chance to attack if you take this approach.

Johnny Cullen5587d ago

TBH, I'd rather have him then that idiotic retard Soulja Boy.

Twizlex5587d ago

I couldn't agree more. +bubbles

Nicolator5587d ago

PREACH.!.. souja boy neededs to be shot.. seriously in the eye...

7h3ultim8p005587d ago

Why does he need to be shot (in the eye wtf)? Just because he makes sh1t music? That's unnecessarily cruel an unbelievably retarded. No one is forcing you to listen. I can't believe the mods are letting stuff like that slide

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies7d ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken7d ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing698d ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker8d ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo8d ago (Edited 8d ago )

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing698d ago (Edited 8d ago )

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos7d ago (Edited 7d ago )

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt7d ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken7d ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

Most Offensive Video Games That Would Never Cut It Today

Times are changing, and these games would have never been made in today's climate.

Read Full Story >>
wealthofgeeks.com
thorstein45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

Every single time someone uses this phrase whether it's music, movies, books, comics, video games, etc it's always the same claim.

The ubiquitous "they" won't allow it to be made. And every decade these claims are made the claimant completely ignores all the "offensive" material that is published when the claim is made.

In ten years, you can write a new article about how you can't make games like Helldivers 2, Resident Evil VIII, Mortal Kombat I, Dragon's Dogma 2, Alan Wake 2 etc etc etc any more.

MrBaskerville44d ago

Yeah, people wouldn't be constantly outraged if there weren't games that people found enraging. The whole SBI discourse shit wouldn't be a thing if all games were inoffensive. A game like Starfield can make a guy froth at his mouth, so there will always be room for a list like this.

0hMyGandhi44d ago

Normally, I'd be inclined to agree with you, but there are massive caveats.
TV shows like Venture Bros, Ren and Stimpy, and Aqua Team wouldn't/couldn't be made today. Hell, Ren and Stimpy was a *children's* show, same thing with Rocko's Modern Life.

It's not for some arbitrary reason, either. It's branding and IP alignment. Companies are far more risk-averse than they were when I was kid in the 90's. Of course, you have companies coming out of the woodwork to hell spur on similar content, but remember: Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon and some incredibly provocative material.

And for movies? it's pretty obvious. American Pie/Wedding Crashers/Eurotrip among many other "raunch coms" have fallen out of style, and are absolutely outside what the modern day film industry is willing to stand by.
Ace Ventura 1 and 2, Dumb and Dumber, Freddy Got Fingered, Rat Race, Harold and Kumar, and Van Wilder follow suit.

Remember: I am not explicitly talking about films put onto streamers. I am talking wide-releases in actual theaters. Same thing goes for games: Carmageddon, Duke Nukem, Manhunt, Six Days In Fallujah (with their original concept), Hatred, and so on and so forth. Of course, I'd be inclined to mention most tactical shooters like Rainbow Six and Joint Ops as well, due to cultural sensitivity regarding *who* you are shooting and why.

And not all of it is bad (obviously). Tastes change, and perspectives change to fit the demographic.
I should add that I'm a lefty, living in L.A. Working in film.

thorstein44d ago

The Boys, Invincible, Jojo Rabbit, Deadpool, Gen V, Last of Us, Banshee... There are plenty of media being made today that people will claim "can't be made today".

Profchaos44d ago

Yeah but if you consider manhunt which was basically a snuff film could you seriously make that game with high than PS2 era graphics.

thorstein44d ago

The Outlast Trials just came out.

But the storyline of Manhunt was that you were executed. But then lived. And if you didn't do as you were told, you'd die. And the people you killed were not innocents.

It was all filmed by a psychopath.

As we speak GTA VI is being finished up for a release. You get to play a Bonnie and Clyde type of protagonist who run up against the law.

Bodycam looks so real.

People are making those games. Articles like this will always exist no matter how incorrect they are, no matter how many times they blame "them" for whatever it is "they" do to prevent "those" games from being made.

Number1TailzFan44d ago

The UK is the biggest junk country pandering to that nonsense as well, with laws against free speech and expression to match. It got so bad even Rowan Atkinson made a video on free speech about it.

Now the UK raises the age rating on harmless films like Mary Poppins, it's just a load of pansy weak ass nonsense.

MrDead44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

The right wing Tories have been in power in the UK for the 14 years you know the ones that are "anti-woke", blame them for your perceptions.

Killer2020UK44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

Are these snowflakes in the room with us now?

This is more faux outrage designed to get hits. The consequences are unfortunately creating hysteria amongst those willing to buy into it and blame "them" or "the left" or "liberals" meanwhile the left are kicking off about genocide, actual real world abhorrent acts. Nobody is campaigning to censor this shit.

Huey_My_D_Long44d ago

Not too mention the fact that some of these game are controversial for you know, underage porn and encouraging rape.

So either the guy just came in to comment snowflakes without reading anything, or he is calling people snowflakes for having a problem with said titles. Crazy how much brain rot someone can have.

banger8845d ago

Dead Island: "The early PC version of the zombie game swapped the playable character Purna’s Gender Wars skill with a prototype name, which shouldn’t be mentioned directly. The skill name made fun of both Purna as a character and feminists."

"Feminist Whore" lmao

gold_drake45d ago

ill add one more to the list.
drakengard 1.

its ridiculous tho, especially since they'd still be able to find their place in alot of places in the world. except america of course ha. and maybe Australia.

ppl are so sensitive these days. ha. but it is what it is.

Barlos45d ago (Edited 45d ago )

They're not offensive.

And we need another Fat Princess. Fantastic little game!

Some people just have no sense of humour if this sort of thing offends them. They need to lighten up and stop taking themselves so seriously.

Deeeeznuuuts44d ago

Would love a new fat princess game 🤟

CantThinkOfAUsername44d ago

Games literally about sexual assault, mass genocide, bombing civilians, and school shooting. None of which is satirical.

isarai44d ago

Actually it's about fat princesses

Huey_My_D_Long44d ago (Edited 44d ago )

Its crazy that people are fixated on Fat princess when clearly the list is going over controversies, and not all of them are equal. Like way worse examples but pretend the entire list is like that.

Left 4 Dead Writer Explains The Drawbacks Of Releasing Games In Early Access

He wants to launch all his projects initially through close beta.
