Daily Blips: Left 4 Dead DLC, PS3 Bundles, Dragon Quest 9, and More

It’s nice of Valve to keep supporting Left 4 Dead even though its sequel is coming out later this year. High five, guys! Oh, wait…

News Blips:

Valve keeping Left 4 Dead alive until a second outbreak hits. Many angry fans thought developer Valve would abandon its original 4-player zombie game now that Left 4 Dead 2 is on its way, but recently announced DLC proves there’s still some life left for Left 4 Dead. Or at least until the sequel reanimates. Then the original will be dead…again. [Shacknews]

New PS3 bundle shows its titles. If buying a PS3 normally isn’t sexy enough enough for you, Sony is hoping you’ll ogle a rumored Best Buy bundle that will include two hardcore exclusives: Killzone 2 and Metal Gear Solid 4. And it’ll only cost $400, the same price of a regular PS3 without the games. Hot. [Kotaku]

LucasArts announcing something “amazing” today, hurray! The company tweeted last week that it will announce something new later today that old-school fans (hopefully) won’t complain about (good luck with that, guys!). Just in case the announcement really is amazing, we here at Bitmob have offered to complain about it anyway. Because we’re ironically nice like that. [GamingShogun]

Dragon Quest 9 wants to frustrate you. You can reserve your future cursing for Dragon Quest series creator Yuji Horii — he was recently quoted as saying that the upcoming DS role-playing game will be really hard. That is, if you suck. Luckily, we’ve been questing dragons for decades now, so it should be a piece of Swedish Princess cake for us. Mmm, delish! [Kotaku]

Hit the jump for some video blips, including a Brutal Legend walkthrough, random videogame girls stripping, a NES controller flashdrive, and…more.

 

Video Blips:

Listen to Tim Schafer yap for over 16 minutes. While someone else plays Brutal Legend.

Random videogame girls strip. For no reason, apparently.
Chow down on God Eater trailer. Tastes like chicken, we know.
Cultural Blip:

NES Controller Flashdriver

Now you’re storing with flash: NES controller flashdrive. Regular flash drives are small and practical, so that’s why some modder rigged up a large and clunky NES controller to hold your data. Makes sense. Kind of. [technabob]
