Criken's Colosseum: Left 4 Dead 2 Deathrun [Episode 1] 

14:43 "Is that a Karma Charger?" And, suddenly, the years roll back. I fall through time to a simpler age. I am whole again. Thank you, Criken.

"Back inside, he can't break through here." Oh those poor, misinformed souls.

Help vs hurt for donations will actually probably bring in even more. Some folks will want to be guardian angels, others will just like to watch the contestants squirm. Just like the real Roman colloseum, the entertainers get rewarded.

there's an audience of vicious sociopath's with an unlimited ammount of currency that doesnt exist lol

Since it hasn't been properly explained: Crikcoins are free virtual currency earned by watching Criken's streams, or gambling existing crikcoins with the bot. These are what you spawn the zombies with. It holds no money value. You cannot buy this currency. Real donations are just an alternate way of spawning the zombies.

I remember the good days of funny moments of getting owned on L4D

It's been almost a year, but this still remains one of my favorite videos because of Tomato's overly excited reaction to changing the difficulty: 12:24

Saw some misinformation I wanted to clear up about this series. First, this is very much still in an early testing phase (this video was our first trial) and as such I'm adjusting the values and cost of purchases after the feedback from each stream. Second, crikCoins are earned from viewing the Twitch stream over time- the $ value associated with each purchase is optional (most purchases come from crikCoins) and balanced more to prevent spamming than anything else. Hopefully this makes sense!

I want this L4D series back again so bad. I loved this

This would be such a good idea for an Extra Life charity stream or something

Holy shit, Left 4 Dead is back after 5 years?! :o

There should be a way to buy things that help the Gladiators. Like...I dunno. Buy a second Coach. Or something. Just have two Coaches.

Follow along at www.twitch.tv/criken to get alerts about the next L4D2 stream! Instructions on how to play and stream times will be announced at twitter.com/CrikMaster See you then!

Criken, just a thought. Maybe let the watchers also spawn stuff for the Survivors? Y'know, like weapons, ammo, Medkits, Laser Sights, fun stuff like that.

You get 1 CrikCoin per 3 mins of watching Which means to spawn the cheapest possible thing, Defib/Medkit, you have to watch for *5 hours*. The average Criken stream is around 4 hours, so that's over 1 stream for a medkit. 5 Hours for something that will be gone in a matter of 2 seconds. Futher pricings are: Horde: 7.5 Hours/Nearly 2 Streams. Will last about: 5 seconds. Fireworks, Spitters, Propane, Smokers, Gooeyscoo: 10 Hours/2 and a half Streams. Will last about: 12 seconds. Charge, Boomers, Hunters, Jockeys: 12.5 Hours/Over 3 Streams. Will last about: 20 seconds. Barrel, Witch, Minigun: 15 Hours/Nearly 4 Streams. Will last about: 1 minute. Tank, Car, Slow-Mo: 25 Hours/Over 6 Streams. Will last about: 1-2 minutes. Guardian Angel: 30 Hours/7 and a half Streams. Will last: 1 round. Super Speed, Low Gravity: 37.5 Hours/Over 9 Streams. Will last about: 1 minute. Release the Criken: 50 Hours/12 and a half Streams. Will last about: 10-30 seconds before they die painfully.

*HOW* is this video *FOUR YEARS OLD* at this point nearly five i can't believe this was from 2016 i remember these deathrun videos being _way_ more recent

Can't wait for the Karma Charger squad.

!tank

wait, Criken? Uploading a Left 4 Dead video?teenage years recreated

though this is funny at first, it kinda got sadistic after a while. perhaps a few rules in place would be good. 1) different price for tank spawn location. tank on players = 3 or 4 times the cost of normal spawn horde on player = 2 times cost 2) all other SI have a limit of max 3. and they can't over lap. meaning if someone buys a boomer boy, 3 boomer will spawn, and someone buys another SI package, at least 1 boomer must be dead before spawning. this prevents crazy things like quad smoker and quad jockey and quad hunter. 12 SI with character locking abilities is impossible to handle. 3) SI spawns are far from players 4) witch spawns only in fun spots and not in view of players. I.e. blocking corners is fine but not spawning one in front of someone just for them to get instant incap 5) spawn items for players like medkit, pain pills and adrenaline (good to pick up incap) 6) use AI director horde command to spawn horde, if multiple people buy horde, just keep the horde counter going after it ends (start a new one) there's many more that can make a game both fun yet challenging. this is kind of impossible to even pass. it gets frustrating after a while.

What the fuck is happening to Crikens profile picture????

THE ONE WHO STARTED IT ALL IS BACK!!! YEEESS L4D2

The Twitch community is very frightening...

I honestly feel like they shouldn't be able to hear you, they should be left alone to wonder what the fuck is about to happen or how many tanks are going to be around the corner. But you can hear them and the pain they're going through. And, just to make it a tad bit ''fair'' you should at least not spawn the enemies on them. Especially when they're near the end of the map. Maybe make the tank and what not a bit cheaper. So people can spawn more, and potentially break the players their will to live. But other than that, this will be a fun series to watch.

Please tell me you call a group of Witches "Witch Time."

So Criken made about five grand that night, I'm guessing.

Criken back on Left 4 Dead? Holy shit yes.

It's 2022 and who has come back here for Nostalgia

you should add a mod to replace the zombie noises with edwad noises

This is such a fantastic idea for a stream I love it

"This is a little bit of an experiment." The answer was sittin' right in front of us the whole time, you slippery salamander criken

Criken playing L4D? HAH! And they said my Time Machine powered by children's sadness wouldn't work!

I can't play L4D2 without Sexy Legs Coach.

"If you guys had to guess what someone just bought, what would it be?" "Tank?" " *HUUURR* " Priceless.

I can't believe this series came back almost 4 years later

what the FUCK is coachs skin

Please continue this series, it is actually very entertaining :D

What's happening with crikens logo. Every time a new video come out it gets more messed up and pixilated.

HOLY SHIT ITS BEEN FOUR YEARS? I THOUGHT THIS VIDEO WAS 2019

It's like an Alpha Test for an MMO. Many things are subject to change. Taking just a glance over the comments here brings forth a slew of issues with the current setup, things such as the value for currency (both Coins and $) and it being completely one sided (no options like spawning items for survivors or dropping bombs and molotovs on zombies). Feed back is important after all. I trust Criken will take into consideration the more constructive criticism that's present and improve upon this further in the future.

I came back to this after the one criken and tomato played with funhaus. They felt too awkward with funhaus, only proving how good the chemistry is between criken, bed, buck, and tomato

8:04 He sounded like Bam Margera when he was in that snake pit. lol

Left 4 dead community: THE LEGEND HAS RETURNED!

Wow there's a lot of comments saying how dumb it is to spend money on this. First of all, the majority of people were using "crikcoins" whch are earned just by watching the stream. They don't cost anything. Towards the end there were some people donating real money to Criken as well. They do this regardless of whether or not this little colosseum game is happening on the stream or not. Usually they just donate to support Criken anyway. In this case, they not only donate to support Criken (who's freaking awesome), they are also getting to participate in an audience interaction. It's a genius idea that benefits Criken AND the viewers. So y'all can take the sticks outta your butts now. Jeez. Everyone's a sellout these days if you start making even a little money...

I remember when criken used to play L4D, good times

This is the greatest idea you have ever came up with

I will never tire of seeing Tomato’s lifeless corpse fucking book it across the screen after a tank spawns

Cricket and left for dead? I haven't seen this mix in a very long time, amazing memories are flooding back, on my god the nostalgia...

This is money in art form, loving it.

Tomato's accent makes everything about 1,000 times funnier.

I thought this was like a year ago, woah! Time flies

All I ever wanted was another Left 4 Dead video... FINALLY.. THANK YOU CRIKEN!!

I'm liking this series! Keep it up forever!

Song in the beginning/end is Targitzan theme from Banjo-Tooie

god bless you for acknowledgeing and not forgetting the blessed Karma Charger

THE KING RETURNS WITH THE SERIES THAT MADE HIM FAMOUS

i didn't think you guys could top Edward but this is funny af

After so many years, crimes changed his pic... #remembercriken

L4d has been my favorite series from you and I think it's been long enough to bring it back! So many mods, opportunities! Think about it Criken!

Glad to see L4D2 back on this channel again!

When you see a Facebook post saying video games cause violence: 10:22

IT'S BEEN 6 YEARS. I'M NUTTING

Please do more. This was so intense on first viewing and you are actively involving the viewers in the fun. This was a great idea.

"- wait are you guys like cheating?" "- .....no" * noclips at the speed of light *

This series is hilarious!!

Watch 12:48 at 0.25x the normal speed, he sounds Carl Wheezer

"You ever fucking leave me behind, I've got 2000 CrikCoins. That's 4 fucking tanks!" I love Bed's threats

This stream idea is so awesome,good job Crikoooo

It's been a while. I am going to miss that Irving avatar that Criken's been using for such a long time. Really though, this is a good concept, but remember that while we'd love to see these guys get smushed in a zombie equivalent of a blender, we'd at least want them to have a bit of a fighting chance. Perhaps spawning them out of sight and from a good distance away would be a good idea.

I'm gonna love this series x)

This is Gold, pure Gold. I'm feeling the nostalgia from seeing you do L4D again Criken. Keep it up. ;)

This might be the greatest series since the Carmaggedon vids back in the day. I laughed SO hard!

HOLY CRAP this is no mercy

I feel like im the gamemakers watching the hunger games

I love watching stuff with Bed, Criken, and Tomato. they all make such a great group of friends~

Spawn in safe room is unfair

I loved this series but it seriously only lasted for like, 4 videos

Allow the chat to buy equipment for them, but instead of spending critcoins the whole chat gains some. So maybe through a vote or whateves

11:36 Criken: "Oh, shit" Ellis: "SHIET"

Criken is the demon lord...his Chat is the minions supplying power for summoning

Need Vaati to be here

2024 anyone??

Honestly I started with your l4d videos and your l4d2 videos and they were amazing, keep up the good content and have a good day!

Truly the golden age of content

"I'M TRYING TO HEAL! I'M BLACK AND WHITE! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

There's been a replacement for karma charger....his name is.......karma Reinhardt

8:26 Bed dipped so hard out of there, he did the Lennon walk midair.

dude this series is gonna be great. Thank you for returning to this game :)))

It's a good idea and all but there needs to be a limit of how many zombies can be placed during certain parts of the level. If you keep it up as is people will run out of money and it will no longer be entertaining.

Donate 50 dollars to spawn a tank? C'mon, Criken.

That was the most entertaining thing I've seen in a long time. Thanks, Criken (and NeoCranium)

"ohhhhh ok guys now we will hand out medkits for 5 dollars a medkit" hahahahhaha

are you going to upload left for dead for a while

25 bucks to spawn a boomer? The fuck?

Ok I absolutely love this series already, please continue :')

You might think the horde is gone for one second... *But the game's just beginning in another*

How much did he make off this?

My god this...this is so evil of you to do to your "friends" LOL.

Modernized nostalgia. I love this so much.

Let it be known that when this video first came out it was my first real experience with l4d in general and let me say what a great starting point this is. I love this video and I love this game
