    Its just a Lemmy problem where every person is a 40, 50+ Sysadmin with 2 kids and only plays single player games because they don’t have time and have become estranged with childhood / young adulthood (?) friends.

    I just played L4D2 a few weeks ago with friends, the whole campaign and will continue to do so with other games

    I remember playing multiplayer games on a single console.

        Ah so you too bought the VGA cable and hauled out an old monitor as well? A person of culture, I see.

        I didn’t have an HDTV in 2008, so digging out the CRT from the old family PC buried in the garage and hooking it up to the 360 was the only way I could get 720p back then. It looked stupid but it worked.

      The game may live on but the squad is long gone. :'(

      (And no I don’t want a new squad. It just wouldn’t be the same…)
