Valve’s eventual DLC for Left 4 Dead is bound to disappoint someone, because we all want different things.
The Disappointment Engine
No Man's Sky is a game seemingly engineered to create a cycle of anticipation and disappointment.
Diablo III Retrospective
We were so upset by the server problems and real money auction that we overlooked just how terrible everything else is.
The Brilliance of Mass Effect
What is "Domino Worldbuilding" and how did it help to make Mass Effect one of the most interesting settings in modern RPGs?
If Star Wars Was Made in 2006?
Imagine if the original Star Wars hadn't appeared in the 1970's, but instead was pitched to studios in 2006. How would that turn out?

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….

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?
