Dead Before Dawn features Crossroads Mall as a replica of the mall in the movie, Dawn of the Dead. Originally created for the HL2 Mod, No More Room in Hell but has since been undergoing major changes to be ported to Valve's Left 4 Dead.

This week we talk briefly about the future of jailbreak source; interview DuckSauce & PhanracK from FragOut and later we talk with Ackart about his newest project. This weeks blast from the past is Day of Defeat 3.1b and we have three audio questions.

Also, the show was broadcast live for the first time this week thanks to HLCreations. It wasn’t perfect, so apologies to those who listened live about the occasional dead air and unbalanced voice levels on the live stream. Both of those issues were our fault rather than HLCreations.

One day I'll be able to do an interview where when asked a question I don't become EXTREMELY, LOUD, AND, STUTTERY.

Love the podcasts. Between ModDB and Podcast17 getting a lot of insight and updates to our favorite mods and games. Also appreciate you discussing the ZP:S Media Release as it was sorta buried quickly heh. Just to clear some things up. NMRiH content includes the map Harvest which was donated by Darth_Brush and is being completed by the team. Cabin Fever which is still in development by SlimZ who is now completing it for ZP:S. But Darth_Brush also sent us the ZP:S map he was working on DeadCity which is also being completed by the ZP:S team. The Animations however were created by the incredibly talented Swolf who is a ZP Team member.

Looking forward to the next show.

Man, I really can't wait for Fragout, great interview Ducksauce and PhanRack, you guys are geniuses!

Having been lucky enough to get a few playtests of Fragout in, I can honestly say, it's brilliant and one of the most pure fun mods I've played in ages. There's something hilarious and exhilirating at using the Sailboat nade to blast yourself sky high, then charging a melon and lobbing it at the head of someone passing underneath you!

I'm glad you guys enjoyed the Jailbreak/Deathball trailer too :D

Go Fragout!
