Valve’s eventual DLC for Left 4 Dead is bound to disappoint someone, because we all want different things.
A Lack of Vision and Leadership
People fault EA for being greedy, but their real sin is just how terrible they are at it.
Spider-Man
A game I love. It has a solid main story and a couple of really obnoxious, cringy, incoherent side-plots in it. What happened here?
Deus Ex and The Treachery of Labels
Deus Ex Mankind Divided was a clumsy, tone-deaf allegory that thought it was clever, and it managed to annoy people of all political stripes.
Video Compression Gone Wrong
How does image compression work, and why does it create those ugly spots all over some videos and not others?
The No Politics Rule
Here are 6 reasons why I forbid political discussions on this site. #4 will amaze you. Or not.
It all makes sense now…
I trained with the Bo Staff when I was practicing Tae Kwon Do.
I still keep a couple of staffs stashed around the house – just in case there is ever a zombie outbreak.
Like Bill, I believe in being prepared….
Leslee
Good one
I… think just keep thinking that Bill can’t get any stupider… I am always wrong.
I keep thinking that those who post on the Escapist how tired they are of Left4Dumb can’t get any stupider .. and I am always wrong too.
On a random note, I’d love one of Bill’s cigs… Those things last forever.
@ Al: Eh, I’m getting a bit tired of it, too. It’s good, it’s funny, but at this point it seems like it should be it’s own comic, seperate and distinct from Stolen Pixels(and not stopping Stolen Pixels updates).
Although Left 4 Dumb typically bores me (not that I’m demanding something else, it is, after all, your blog), this is the first one that I’ve actually found humorous. So I applaud you, while still quietly hoping you’ll one day finish this particular arc and move on to new and more familiar territory.
I have long said that the ideal weapon to have on hand in a zombie outbreak is a suit of powered armor…preferably Samus-styled. Francis’ thoughts are an admirable step towards that beautiful dream.
A broom would be badass
This was one of those comics where by the time you got to the comment in the second panel, you knew what was going to happen at the end, yet when you got to the punchline, it was still funny. Well done Shamus.
On a different thought: I wonder if this is what Valve had in mind when they announced melee combat for L4D2?
