Zombie Panic!
Zombie Panic is a cooperative survival horror Half-Life Modification that pits a group of survivors up against the walking dead. Your goal is to complete a number of objectives to reach safety or take out the remaining zombies still lingering in the area. But those who were once your friends after death become the very same creatures you’re trying to escape. Zombie Panic is the first every Online cooperative zombie survival game and with player controlled zombies no one game is ever the same.
I want to like Zombie Panic. I really do. Unfortunately it’s a great idea poorly executed. Game balance is so lopsided that the zombies win every time. Frustrating glitches (like getting stuck on doors, objects, or other players) are incredibly common. Weapons are scarce, hard to see, and hard to pick up.
What’s even more troubling is that this is one of the five mods Valve is showcasing on Steam, which suggests it’s an example of the best the mod community has to offer. I really hope that’s not the case.

An artist’s conception of the new citizenship test:
To help prepare for the new examination, I propose the following warm-up, which I tested (with the assistance of another United States citizen) on a foreign national, a Canadian from British Columbia, so there should be no language barrier as long as we are careful to avoid the word about.
Big Dog
I would not have called it a dog, but whatever the name it is pretty fascinating as far as quadruped robots go.
