The comments section here is pretty funny.

This isn't "The Director from L4D", this is the human touch of direct influence of game balance globally without the need to release a patch or even a hotfix, and way beyond just how many bots drop at a time. If you want to compare it to something, it might be The Wizard from Oz, pulling the cranks to drive the facade.

If The Director wasn't dumping enough zombies in general, Valve would have to patch The Director to make it do so because it's restricted to its coding limitations. A human Game Master can run it only limited to the variables the devs give him. Open new planets for plundering, change the weather, accuracy of your calldowns, the options are as limited as imagination and time.

Saying this, I don't know why they would leave this all up to Joel, you'd think there'd be a team of 3 to bounce ideas off or something.

Do you have a geothermal heat pump too for AC/Heat? What was the cost on that? And how much land does the geothermal system take up nowadays?

Are you just saying "pull yourself up by your bootstraps" with more words?

Yep, if you buy the music you actually like, yeah that CD you bought at FYE in 2013 was $12, but that's $12 literally 10 years ago, water under the bridge, and you can still use it however you want to use it.

Meawhile Deezer nuts is making you pay for a CD-worth of content every month. That's 12 CDs a year.

Now That's What I Call a LOT of Music.
