Electric Guitar. 'nuff said.

I was expecting a dose of tl;dr.



I am disappointed.

There's nothing more to add to it.

Okay, well, maybe...

uhh...

The spitters are nasty?

All I remember hearing about is that there are apparently incendiary rounds for everything, the game got seriously fucking neutered in Australia, and it has black zombies in it which makes it racist. Because there's no way there would be black zombies if there was a zombieism (zombism?) outbreak in New Orleans.

Yeah there's no body part explodin' at all in the Australia version, and things just fall down and vanish when you crack their heads with a guitar.

And it's not like, y'know, black people weren't the FIRST ZOMBIES or anything. Forget hip-hop, jazz, rock and roll... if you want to know what part of black culture REALLY got co-opted by whitey, look no further than your friendly neighborhood animated corpse.

... MAN that felt weird to write...

But those zombies sucked, man. They weren't even dead to begin with, and they didn't hunger for the flesh of the living! Nay, they be hardly zombies at all!

And an arquebus is barely a gun, and Pankration is barely mixed martial arts, and Swedish Chef is barely YOU.

Are you suggesting I'm related to the Swedish Chef? Woah, thanks dude.

You forgot your Kirteach.

*checks Wikipedia to no avail, so is justified in saying the following*

... the what now?

Kirteach is a kawaii icon used to indicate a friendly attempt at informing a fellow pal!

Which is patently obvious to anyone who has emoticons turned off. Mmm, disable graphical smileys.

You can't just cast off the heritage we fought so hard to bring to these new lands we've settled!

God, I wish you would hurry it up and die.

Thus bringing us back around to the thread topic quite neatly.

Ah! Enlightenment! That's always fun!

You know, I keep getting tempted to play this, as there are so few co-op multi-player games designed around actual co-op.

But I know I'd just end up being the panicing spaz that gets eaten to death in the first 10 minutes of the movie. =(

I recommend the L4D games, but you really must play it with people you know and can communicate with. Just getting a random group-up is bound to give you grief, and coordinated communications is difficult without speech, although the in-game stuff you can say is useful, if anyone'd ever bother listening. :P

Personally, I'd be the snotty, annoying guy with the strangest penchant for surviving everything the zombies have against me, only to die pathetically close to the ending, either because I turned good-guy, or because I was such a dick the audience wants pay-back.

I'm the slightly obnoxious wisecracker which gives me good longevity, but I almost certainly die before the end. For various reasons, I suspect that I die due to some semi-ironic non-zombie-related accident. I probably survive a massive zombie onslaught then trip and fall down the stairs.

I'm the non-Ving Rhames black guy.

I die first.

I'm the vaguely ethnic guy who's neither black nor Asian so the director doesn't feel the need, consciously or subconsciously, to make a statement with my death or survival. So, it's actually a little difficult to predict, but I'm pretty sure I'm not far behind Chuck.

But I wear glasses, so I might actually survive a little longer than I would otherwise.

I'm a brown/blond haired white guy with a girlfriend.

I'm in no trouble.

Are you kidding me? Either one of you gets zombified in the beginning, and then you make a weep-story out of it. You die in the very end, sacrificing yourself so the others can live.

Or you go crazy and try to live together with your zombified better half.

Obviously, this requires a zombie boyfriend/girlfriend subgame added to Left 4 Dead. *nod*

*has hilariously horrifying visions of taking her to a Katt Williams comedy show and then nailing her at her apartment*

Oh, Niko! Tell me interesting things!
