I occasionally play a game of Left 4 Dead with my colleagues at the office. Running a server on the local area network is the easiest to set up, with only a few simple commands via the console.

Having to punch in those commands each time is a bit annoying, so I put together a nifty little launcher for L4D.

It's simple: select "Host" or "Join", click the desired options, and hit "Launch".

I'll be putting the source code up on SourceForge some day soon. Take note that you'll need the .NET Framework to run L4D Launcher.
