The wraps have been taken off Left 4 Dead 2′s funland setting, with information on new special infected, settings, objectives and…clowns.

The campaign – Dark Carnival – takes place across a variety of locations, from a hillside to a hotel to the carnival itself, where Valve promises that some of the attractions will be actually be functioning, and playable.

As far as new stuff goes, there’s a new t-shirt for Ellis, an electric guitar to use as a melee weapon, a clown zombie that’s able to call other zombies over to him and a new special infected: the jockey. Who does what a jockey zombie would be expected to do, and jumps on a survivor’s back. To ride them.

While a jockey is on a survivor’s back, the player loses control, and is usually steered away from their pals and towards a horde of zombies.

More on HRD from Dataslide

DataSlide has recently introduced the new storage concept of Hard Rectangular Drive which is based on hard disk drives with a twist: it doesn’t require the platter to spin.

The HRD uses a 2D array of read/write heads on the rectangular platter, using oscillations to move the magnetized bits to and fro underneath the read-write heads. This new technology allows the drive to deliver read/write speed of up to 500MB/s, with less than 4W of power and 160000 IOPS.

DataSlide is now evaluating the technology, and looking for manufacturers for cooperation.
