Doesn't matter; usually, though, I play Rochelle, if only 'cause I don't mind playing a chick while everyone else seems to.

So, which Left 4 Dead 2 characters do you guys play as? I Myself am quite partial to Ellis & his various stories & positivity on the whole situation. Most of the time, I play Nick. I like Nick. But if I know things won't go well, I'll play as Coach, only because he is beyond USELESS if the AI takes control. He'll just stand there and WATCH you get Smoker Tongued or something. I despise Coach.

I LOVE Nick. I even nominated his voice actor for one of my end of the year video game awards.
Hell, I think I want to cosplay as Nick one day.

I have coveralls from my Air Force days, and his shirt and hat are both at the Valve website store. Only problem is I'm much taller (Ellis is, like, 5'11, I'm 6'4"), hair (he's blonde, I'm a red head), and voice (he's, obviously, southerner, I'm Midwestern).

Coach just stands & stares when I get grabbed/ pounced & on the Sugar Mill, I only had to get past 1 more witch & he JUMPED on her. every finale I do, just as the escape vehicle turns up he manages to get incapped & Nick & Rochelle run straight past him as do I

I usually play as Coach. For some reason, it switches up gameplay for me some as I go into "football mode", running routes and trying to stiff arm-melee zombies out of my way. It just helps me get more into the game for some reason. I find myself making more saves and just playing better in general.

I like Coach because he looks like Uncle Phil from Fresh Prince.

For me, Nick and Ellis are tied, Coach is next, and Rochelle is last. While Coach is annoying, he's at least somewhat interesting, which is more than I can say for Rochelle. Half the time, I don't know where Rochelle is or how she's doing, and I don't really care. She's not really memorable, to be honest.

Shot a zombie in the head and blurt out "Pillowy Mounds of Mashed Potatos" and try not to laugh.

When a lone zombie has the balls to charge at you head-on from a distance, say "DO I LOOK LIKE A WHITE GUY NAMED WARD? *smack!*"

Going back to TF for a moment, I think I'm getting pretty good at Engie, and I don't mind just running defense on the briefcase at all.

And the first thing you should all ways do in the beginning of a match is place a Tele Entrance and go back into the supply for more metal.

You know, TF2 can kind of help you tell a gamer's gameplay kind of tendencies.
For example, I LOVE playing stealth games, Metal Gear and Splinter Cell are two of my most favorite series, and when playing the co-op is the past Splinter Cell games, my cousin would always shoot first, think later, I, would just sneak up on people and stab them.
Hell, my favorite two "guilds" in Oblivion are the Thieves Guild and Dark Brotherhood, just cause of the sneaking missions involved.
My best class in TF2? Ze Spy, for the stealthy gameplay style. Yes, I prefer the class that brings a knife to a giant gun fight.
Then again.....if you think about it, few of the classes actually have traditional guns.......
Hell, on the PC version, the Demo has a f***ing claymore and targe!

Just finished Assassin's Creed II. Things really picked up in the end, plotwise. The boss battle was definitely disappointing, it was so insanely easy.
Oh, and I have pretty much everything wrapped up. All weapons, armor, etc. and 1000 chivos. There's some fairly pointless side quests I didnt bother with like foot races, courier assignments and a few assassination contracts.
But that makes it the third game I've gotten perfect chivos for along with THAW and Oblivion w/ Shivering Isles, so I'm happy.
Now I think I'll trade it in to amazon. It's going for $37.50 and I only paid $29.78 for it thanks to a Christmas sale and $10 off from L4D2.
Oh if anyone's curious on the length... I got it on the 19th and beat it today. I didn't play at all on the 27th.
I'd definitely argue it's worth the full price if you're into Zelda style action-adventure games, GTA style mission stuff or the renaissance era.
Beyond that, I still definitely think it's worth picking up during the $40-$45 sales that are going on randomly at Target, amazon, etc.

And the first thing you should all ways do in the beginning of a match is place a Tele Entrance and go back into the supply for more metal. I'll keep that in mind, I usually play 2Fort and set up a Turret, get more metal, then get a dispenser going behind the turret so I can stand behind it and keep getting metal until it's a Level 3. Thanks for the advice. You know, TF2 can kind of help you tell a gamer's gameplay kind of tendencies.

Hell, on the PC version, the Demo has a f***ing claymore and targe! Usually I'm either a flagrunner or defender, so Engineer and Scout play right into that. However, I like to rock and roll and charge in with a Heavy from time to time. Once, I played a team so bad I got a capture with a heavy in a game that only had Heavies and Engineers.

Picked up Transformers ROTF for $20 last night at Best Buy.
Has a lot of DLC support, and multiplayer is pretty fun.
Also, they've refined the controls from the last game quite a bit, so it's not as headache inducing as the first one.
