I uploaded a @YouTube video http://t.co/Lmnuz0Wb Left 4 Dead 2, My Little Pony vs. Warrior Bugs: Suicide Blitz 2 (part 1) This is me (AznKei) playing Left 4 Dead 2 in single player with My Little Pony characters starring Twilight Sparkle, Apple Jack, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash replacing the original survivors Nick, Ellis, Coach and Rochelle. The game is about 4 survivors immune to The Green Flu, which turns most humans into zombie-like creatures, who must escape the apocalyptic pandemic by defending themselves. Suicide Blitz 2, made by "R.T. Frisk" is a custom campaign made for Left 4 Dead 2. Four new survivors must make their way through an infected city to escape the zombie apocalypse! The campaign can be found and downloaded at: http://www.l4dmaps.com/details.php?file=9754 . All thanks go for the author R.T. Frisk for making this campaign. Also, all thanks for Splinks for his wonderful My Little Pony character and Warrior Bugs mods. :) Note: I recently updated the game to 2.1.0.0 so I wanted to try the mods that are compatible to that version. But I doubt I'm going to continue making more L4D2 videos any longer, unless people are interested with these. Link - Trackbacks

Too Many Patients, Too Few Resources Community Forum added. http://t.co/nc8QQEGQ #event Hagerstown Community College, Merle Elliott Conference Center, Rooms 210, 212, and 214 - Hagerstown, MD. Sat, Nov 3. In a widespread public health care emergency, there will be more people who need healthcare than there are resources available to help them. Making decisions about how to use these limited resources will be difficult. Hospital personnel and public health officials need to know how to make decisions in these difficult moments in a way that reflects the values of the communities in which those decisions will be made. The purpose of this research study is to engage the citizens of Maryland in a dialogue about which ethical principals they consider most important in determining how to make decisions about allocating scarce medical resources during a disaster like a pandemic flu. Refreshments will be provided; participants will receive a $50 gift card and a gas stipend if you travel more than 30 miles to forum site. Link - Trackbacks
