Picture two guys going to a LAN gaming center to play Left 4 Dead, and what do you think is going to be their first problem? Untidy? Very hot? Atrocious computer hardware? Too noisy?

No, despite these two guys are sitting right next to each other, they *must* be able to hear each other over VoIP, or their life will never be complete, even if they're going to be looking at each other throughout their time at the place.

This epidemic, termed by me as Left4Zombitis, is a condition of the brain that eats at it, with especial attention to the logic and cerebral functional centers. Symptoms may arise within groups of Left 4 Dead players who may sit right next to each other, shout and scream like crazy to make themselves heard throughout the place but yet whine that they cannot hear each other over VoIP.

I leave the discussion to the floor.

I work at the said venue. :\ And it's a constant bitch when:

a) Steam fucks up the audio drivers 3/4 of the time

b) It's perfectly understandable if the friends are seated on opposite rows, but for the love of God, those morons are right beside each other.

[lennardseah]

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!! relax man... i also hear alot of SCREAMS going on

I think this is not a very accurate observation.

Do note that voice talk in game require separate button press.

They probably need to get used to pressing in game talk, that's why.

Then again, as usual, local citizens tend to just think about their preferred side of the story.

[Typlo (x3m)]

there is open mic function for L4D where u can jus use voice activation... no ned press button... lol...

[aegisX]

thats the whole point of going to a lanshop, to enjoy company even though it might be retarded.

else why pay to play there, might as well play at home and scream to your delight.
