Over the course of the day she’d mulled over what she was going to say beforehand, and she decided to keep things brief. Frankie squeezed the lighter, her heart pounding in her chest. She came halfway down the porch’s steps, standing right below the flag.

It had to be concealed, lest the military catch on and ruin all the fun. The light outside was dim, but it was good enough.įrankie stepped out onto the porch, hands shoved deep into her pockets, gripping the small lighter from the first aid kit. The sky was a few tints from pitch black, the last tinge of orange on the horizon barely peeking from above the rooftops. Her initial plan had been do to it in the dead of night, but Frankie settled for the late evening. This was the last thing she’d was going to do before she died, and she had to make it count. There were countless times where she wanted to get it over with, but she had to tell herself to wait. She spent the day sitting in that house’s living room, gazing at the flag and the street through the windows. Frankie didn’t know exactly how long it took, but had to be at least twelve hours. Waiting for the right moment felt like an eternity. One wonders if the makers of Iron Chef, BeJeweled, or Left 4 Dead will pull any videos of these mods off of YouTube, but that seems unlikely.((Frankie Matsui continued from Count to Ten)) You can find more information about the game modes and how to leave your impressions on them here. Remember, these game modes are in their beta, so Blizzard would appreciate feedback. You can find all of these modes under the multiplayer tab in the custom games window. There is even a "survival" mode where endless night pits players against wave after wave of enemies. Build your defenses during the day, survive the infected onslaught at night. "Left 2 Die" is a two player co-op mode that has a day/night cycle. It can be played competitively or co-operatively. This energy acts as a resource for building units.

"StarJeweled" features a StarCraft/ Bejeweled hybrid where gamers match jewels to gain energy. These dishes are worth points, and whoever has the highest score at the end of three rounds wins. "Auir Chef" is an eight man free-for-all that tasks players with gathering ingredients in order to make special dishes. While none of these may be as noteworthy as the World of StarCraft Land of StarArt mod that appeared last week, two out of three support co-op play, and that ain't half bad. Names like "Auir Chef", "StarJeweled", and "Left 2 Die" hint at what gamers can expect. These new modes draw inspiration from some unlikely sources. Blizzard has some new game modes for StarCraft 2 available for beta-testing over at.
