The Passing is coming!! The Passing is coming!!

I am beside my self with excitement! Valve, the makers of Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2, are notorious for announcing release dates and then saying "Oops! We meant sometime next month!" This happened last month when the greatly anticipated 'The Passing' DLC for L4D2 was supposed to be released the last couple of days in March. Last minute they (Valve) announced that the release date would be pushed to sometime in Spring. Now, however, The Passing is coming out TOMORROW!!!! Thursday 04/22/2010. Sigh... The Passing is exciting because it brings together the two L4D worlds in one game. New achievement points, new maps, new uncommon infected, and new weapons. I'm going to be in hog heaven!
Hmmm, Achievement points. This is a separate thing altogether. I adore achievement points. I love them so much I have over 11,000 of them. And I'm always looking to earn more. I tried video games when the 360 came out (this is separate from my childhood experience with the Atari 2600). I didn't get it at first, at least until the first time I heard the 'bloop, bleep' sound and saw 10 points while playing 'Madagascar, Back 2 Africa'. Once I realized I had goals to achieve, well, just try and stop me!
Tomorrow I will spend the majority of my day playing (hopefully it's out in the morning and not in the evening) as I have to work tomorrow night. I feel like I'm just waiting for this day to go by so I can get to tomorrow. Christmas!
