In Jim Rossignol&apos;s latest Ragdoll Metaphysics column, Left 4 Dead writer Chet Faliszek has said the idea&apos;s at least been internally bandied about, as part of a wide, wide ranging interview that also covers the mixed messages and missed opportunities that spawned the Left 4 Dead 2 boycott, and why AI constructs make him depressed. Elsewhere on Offworld we saw even more newly announced games coming out of the ongoing GamesCom conference: Lionhead returning with Fable III, top-down zombie shooter Dead Nation, which will apparently have individual countries competing to fully eliminate the undead virus, more of Sony&apos;s PSP cult cute platformer Loco Roco, and Hudson&apos;s The Tower of Shadow, in which you play as the shadow. We also saw a fantastically unlikely official new contest to create the best Elvis techno cover/remix on your DS, listened to Metroid metal cover album Varia Suite, played the latest NES demoscene ROM, and saw both Alice&apos;s Adventures in the Mushroom Kingdom, and Spider creators Tiger Style showing us tomorrow&apos;s game development studio, today....</dc:description> <dc:creator>Brandon Boyer</dc:creator> <dc:date>2009-08-20T08:44:05-08:00</dc:date> <license rdf:resource="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/1.0/" /> </Work> <License rdf:about="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/1.0/"> </License> </rdf:RDF> --> <script type="text/javascript"> site_category = ''; </script> <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ mtAttachEvent('load', mtUpdateScores); mtAttachEvent('usersignin', mtUpdateScores); /* ]]> */ </script> <script type="text/javascript"> var federated_media_section = ''; if(location.href == 'http://web.archive.org/web/20090821202336/http://www.boingboing.net/high-energy/' || location.href == 'http://web.archive.org/web/20090821202336/http://boingboing.net/high-energy/'){ federated_media_section = 'ecomagination'; } </script> </head> <body class="entry-archive" onload="individualArchivesOnLoad(commenter_name)"> <script src="http://web.archive.org/web/20090821202336js_/http://www.boingboing.net/awstats_misc_tracker.js" type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8"></script> <div id="adunit-leaderboard"> <script type="text/javascript"> if (site_category == 'Innovation' || site_category == 'Safety' || site_category == 'Environment') { document.write("<scr" + "ipt type='text/javascript' src='http://web.archive.org/web/20090821202336/http://static.fmpub.net/zone/1149'></sc" + "ript>"); } else { document.write("<scr" + "ipt type='text/javascript' src='http://web.archive.org/web/20090821202336/http://static.fmpub.net/zone/356'></sc" + "ript>"); } </script> </div> <div id="navigation-site"> <ul> <li id="section-boingboing-selected"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090821202336/http://boingboing.net/">Boing Boing Home</a></li> <li id="section-gadgets"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090821202336/http://gadgets.boingboing.net/">Gadgets</a></li> <li id="section-tv"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090821202336/http://www.boingboing.net/video.html">TV</a></li> <li id="section-offworld"><a href="http://web.archive.org/web/20090821202336/http://offworld.com/">Boing Boing Offworld</a></li> </ul> <div id="sign-in-widget" class="widget-sign-in widget"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> /* <![CDATA[ */ function mtUpdateSignInWidget(u) { var separator = '&nbsp;&nbsp;|&nbsp;&nbsp;'; var el = document.getElementById('sign-in-widget'); var content = ''; if (!el) return; if (u) { if (u && u.is_authenticated) { user = u; mtSaveUser(); } else { // user really isn't logged in; so let's do this!
