Below is a reminder of where we are in our quest to complete all of the campaigns on Expert mode. The bolded campaigns are the completed ones on expert and the red one is the one that we played most recently. There is an achievement for surviving all 6 of the official Left 4 Dead 2 campaigns on expert. We will be starting this time with Dead Center and will be working our way through the official L4D2 campaigns again. There is an achievement for surviving them on all expert if you have not done that yet. If we get by that quickly enough or get frustrated, we will move on to the next campaign or switch to survival mode depending on how much time we have. Make sure to have the custom maps installed using the instructions found here.

Sea of Thieves for 50% off for two more days on PC and Xbox One with cross play
Posted on Monday January 28, 2019
You can still get Sea of Thieves for $30 for the next two days. Four of us have already invested in it. This is a pirate adventure game that you can drop in and out of for both PC and Xbox One that allows cross play between the two. Ships can hold crews of 2-4 people, but you can create alliances of multiple ships so and explore together as well as protect one another from environmental hazards as well as unfriendly players. Until we get more players involved, we may stick to random nights to play a bit, but eventually we would like to include it in our community night rotation given enough interest. See the first post of this thread for more information.
