‘Killing Floor’ And ‘Red Orchestra 2’ Are Getting Steam Workshop Support
Steam Workshop is an awesome addition to the already amazing Steam. More and more games are jumping on the Steam Workshop train. Coming soon is Workshop support for Killing Floor and Red Orchestra 2. Now that I can play on Steam with my Xbox 360 controller I’m starting get into more PC games, but Killing Floor still remains one of my faves. There is a map making contest going on right now for Red Orchestra 2 and the winner gets $35,000! Soon enough all maps entered in the Counterattack Mapping Contest will be in the Workshop where you can vote for your favorite and someone will walk away with 35K. Head past the break to find out how you can save 66% on all Tripwire Interactive games.
Right now on Steam you can get the Tripwire Interactive game bundle, which includes all of their games for $59.99. That’s not bad seeing as that’s what a new game on a console is gonna run you. Red Orchestra 1 and 2, Killing Floor and all of the DLC and more. You’ll save in the ballpark of 33 dollars. Not too shabby.
“Here at Tripwire Interactive, we’ve always been huge supporters of community-made content and encouraged people to make their own content for our games. Not a big surprise really, when you remember we started out as a mod team! And now, to make all that content much more manageable, we are adding full Steam Workshop support to Killing Floor now AND Red Orchestra 2 very soon.”
We have learned the sad news this week that prolific horror author Ray Garton, who wrote nearly 70 books over the course of his career, has passed away after a battle with lung cancer.
Ray Garton was 61 years old.
Stephen King tweets, “I’m hearing that Ray Garton, horror novelist and friend, died yesterday. This is sad news, and a loss to those who enjoyed his amusing, often surreal, posts on Twitter.”
Ray Garton’s novels include Seductions, Darklings, Live Girls, Night Life, and Crucifax in the 1980s, followed in later decades by output including A Dark Place: The Story of a True Haunting, Trade Secrets, The New Neighbor, Lot Lizards, Dark Channel, Shackled, The Girl in the Basement, The Loveliest Dead, Ravenous, Bestial, and most recently, Trailer Park Noir.
Garton also wrote young adult novels under the name Joseph Locke, including the novelizations for A Nightmare on Elm Street: The Dream Master and The Dream Child. He also wrote the novelizations for Tobe Hooper’s Invaders from Mars and Warlock, as well as several books for the Sabrina the Teenage Witch and Buffy the Vampire Slayer franchises.
Other young adult horror novels you may remember the name Joseph Locke from include Petrified, Kiss of Death, Game Over, 1-900-Killer, Vengeance, and Kill the Teacher’s Pet.
You can browse Ray Garton’s full bibliography over on his official website.
He wrote on his website when it launched, “Since I was eight years old, all I’ve wanted to be was a writer, and since 1984, I have been fortunate enough to spend my life writing full time. I’ve written over 60 books—novels and novellas in the horror and suspense genres, collections of short stories, movie novelizations, and TV tie-ins—with more in the works.”
“My readers have made it possible for me to indulge my love of writing and I get a tremendous amount of joy out of communicating with them,” Garton added at the time.
Ray Garton is survived by his longtime wife, Dawn.
