Hey Jaiz, I heard about you after getting Left 4 Dead 2 on my laptop recently, and am a huge fan of your Cold front map and its various easter eggs! The work you and your friends put into it is phenomenal. I'd like to send you a friend request in hopes that we can run some games. It'd be an honor to kill some zombies with you!

@Gordon Freeman - Sorry, but I no longer help with that achievement. You can check out the "Spirits of Giving" group I'm in to find others that can help though.

sent friend request because i'm purple (possibly related to purple francis)

i like your map Cold Front

@Avery - No idea. I don't even know what Valve is up to these days.

Jaiz do you think Left 4 Dead 2 would get a 64 bit update?

Hey, I wanted to send a friend request because I’ve really admired everything you’ve done in the L4D2 community. You’re honestly such a big contributor in it, like bringing about the update that gave the game more life. The charity stream you did especially stood out to me.. combining my favorite game, Left 4 Dead 2, with raising awareness for something as serious and widespread as suicide really meant a lot. It showed how something silly as gaming can bring people together. Thank you for everything that you do, and never stop making those lore videos :p

oh okay understandable, Didn't know a server like that took things seriously.

@R3D456 - I had to scrap it for reasons I can't disclose.

What happened to the "What's the deal with Lewd 4 Dead?" video.

penis

@wra†h - I no longer help people with that achievement, sorry.
Read through my F.A.Q. for a link to a different group that helps unlock it.

hello kind sir, can you please add me and help me get the Ghost of Christmas Present achievement?

Adding you so we can have a quick word regarding a potential video, and to clear something up I've been wanting to ask for a long time.

thank you for all the work you've done for the l4d2 community! I really hope you and the other community members have a new l4d2 custom campaign in the works!

alright. hope i'm not getting annoying
i heard back from Soul
the short version is, you and i both still have rights
we may continue protecting his past work
cheers

i just looked around a bit
you definitely had rights at some point
and I'd guess you still do as you still have Zero Warning
so it's definitely not just Lucy
you and i had to team up on someone a few years ago
I think it's still in your comments here
but I also remember you contacted this "Huck" several years ago
there was a comment you left him I remember seeing
also was a point when i contacted you where you also confirmed my rights
we've both had team up to take down some people in the past before
and this Huck is a repeat offender with AZ at least 3 times now

yea, the last time we went after someone was 6 or 7 years ago
i still have him as a friend and sent a message about this situation
but yea, that guy is trying again so i'm letting you and Soul know
he can confirm, but i'm certain he also gave me (and "Time Lord") rights
over the years i think he loosened up, but not with known trouble makers
pretty sure Huck is lying and never got his permission
and clearly isn't understanding creative commons

@McLovin - I vaguely recall that he gave Absolute Zero rights only to Lucy, though I don't have any rights over it myself.

can you refresh my memory?
Soul only gave Absolute Zero rights to me, Lucy, and you?
nobody else, correct?
i remember we've had to act on someone before
and now AZ's been modified and re-uploaded again
Sheriff Huck is attempting it again, I remember we acted on him before

sorry that was weird i apologize jaiz

As a co-op speedrunner, I can attest that Jaiz is a really good L4D speedrunner. He singlehandedly broke multiple co-op world records. Someone should stop this man. Take away his keyboard or something idk. :trollface:

Sup, the cold front map was awesome, really enjoyed it, only think missing was "in memory of XX_z0mb13slay3r_XX" in credits or at the end of the campaign XD.

Hi

sup jaiz

i love you

@yoshinon - As the FAQ states, I'm no longer helping with that achievement. There's a Steam group with lots of other players linked that can help with it instead.

Please i need help with the chrismas Present archivement

Hey JAiZ, I get if you dont accept my request but you're the reason I got into modding and currently creating my own campaign. I've seen you everywhere on YouTube and the L4D community and it's super cool that you helped make some official campaigns. Or helped people like Honest with trailers, map testing etc. Hell, you even helped me when I had a question mooonthhss back. You're such a cool person and an inspiration in my eyes <3 I've only heard amazing things from friends and strangers in the community; I would love to maybe work together or just play sometime!! Much love- WADDLES

@Styna - I already completed most KF2 achievements, so I don’t need help anymore. Appreciate the offer though.

Hi, are you still looking to complete KF2 Objective maps? Your comment requested a message here. If not, I’m still interested in playing LFD2 or KF2 with you.

@FlushableGavin - Sure, just send a friend request

When you have time, Would you like to bug test my Campaign? It's currently 3-Chapters long & a little bit of the 4th Chapter, i'll love to hear feedback from you.

Hey JaiZ, It's me WackyMcWackSire on another account of mine. Just recently I got back Into L4D2 and In need of pals to kill zombies with. Maybe we can try out Cold front together and review It?

Hey! I’m working on a video for my channel about Left 4 Dead 2 lore. During my research, I came across your posts on Reddit and would really like to talk with you about this topic. I think you could really help me with some information.

@AmigoS - Больше нет. Загляните в группу Steam «Spirits of Giving» — там найдутся люди, которые могут помочь.

здарова, ещё помогаешь выполнять достижение "дух нынешнего рождества" в игре left 4 dead 2?

Thank you so much! Will be sure to save these myself (someone already archived the MR blog back in '21 thank god)

@AnorakRaven - There's the Midnight Riders blog ( midnight-riders.com ) which contains some details (Mainly dates and timeframes), and there's also the official survivor biographies and excerpts from magazines ( imgur.com/a/c5fGY3z ) that have interesting information that's not widely known.

Not asking for a friend request, just wanted to say thank you for all that you'ce done for the community over the years, your lore write-ups and whatnot have been a god-send for friends of mine as we try to do things like roleplay and explaining the story to people who are only just getting into the series/never knew about its deeper connections.

P.S: Outside of the in-game lore/conversations/wall graffiti and the comic book, is there any other areas with lore regarding the game's storyline and its development? I recall an old convo of yours on reddit where someone pointed out that the XBOX 360 manual had write-ups relating to each and every survivor for L4D1.

Quick disclaimer:
I'm no longer be accepting friend requests for unlocking the GHOST OF CHRISTMAS PRESENT achievement.

After a decade helping thousands of people unlock it, it's starting to become quite tedious to constantly log on just to unlock that achievement, especially since I'm also increasingly busy with other things.
Rather than letting people wait for weeks or months on end, I recommend checking out the Spirits of Giving group I'm in to find other people that can help unlock it.

I may still help people unlock the achievement on special occassions (For streams, friends of friends, events, etc.), but I will no longer accept friend requests specifically for it.

@Vox - It was an issue with The Last Stand as well. Originally we wanted to enable every melee weapon in the base game for it, but it lead to crashes. The same thing has happened with others campaigns (official and workshop), but it's a very obscure bug that I haven't looked much into beyond that.

did Cold Front suffer from crashing with unlimited melee weapons? the readme for modders warns to limit the melee weapon count to 10, but this doesn't seem documented anywhere else. perhaps Cold Front was an outlier?

Hey JAiZ i was wondering if you could help me get the "Ghost of christmas present" achievement i would appreciate it alot thank you (Whenever you can)

👍🐱

@NotMystify - Could you elaborate on what exactly you'd like me to help with?

1440519692 is my friend code Anyhelp with the L4D2 is appreciated

@SPSick - You can try contacting Salad, since he voiced Mike. He may be busy though.
You can upload images to imgur and share the links here, but if that doesn't work then feel free to send me a friend request here or on Discord (jaiz.)

Hey JAiZ! Thanks for letting me use Mike! He's been added into the mod and his voicelines are being worked on! I do have one question though, would the VA for Mike be down to help out with the project? It'd be cool if Mike could have some lines for picking up Monkey Bombs and such. And also, is there any way I could show you some screenshots? I'd love to show you him in the mod so far.
