I Dream of Zombies...
Nov. 26th, 2009 09:55 amSo last night, bored, I decided to DL the demo of Left For Dead 2. Surprisingly, it worked quite well on my computer (that's the thing with computers, I always worry about whether a game will work). More surprisingly, you could play online multiplayer (only the demo levels, but still). Which I accidentally did when I started the game, and wound up joining a game in progress with no idea how to do anything. Luckily I got out quick before I embarassed myself too badly.
Anyway, it's mildly fun, though I could see how it might get repetitive, although undoubtably funner with others (after I practiced a bit on single player I played multi a few times including one with other players who played zombies... don't know quite how that happened, I guess the demo link with the non-demo players too as long as they're only playing on the first 3 levels), and it was a little more fun (I think when playing single player your allies help each other much faster than you can so by the time you rush to one's rescue, they're already saved).
Anyway, since I happened to be playing shortly before bed, it's no surprise that I had a dream involving zombies last night. I wasn't in the zombie movie, alas. I was watching it (and later, discussing it with other people, mostly unknown although, oddly,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
argaud was one of them.... don't know why him particularly). The movie was, supposedly, Resident Evil 4, but since I know next to nothing about the RE series it was probably just plucked out of my subconscious as a random example of a zombie movie.
All I can really remember of the movie was the end. Where, while fighting zombies, the heroes knocked over or shot a container of 'zombie-making gas' (the zombie infection started with a gas, I don't know why), which started to hiss out, and everything faded to white.
What happened next was not what I would have expected...

Edit: Oh, and to all those on my flist who celebrate it at this absurdly late time of year (seriously, dudes, it was almost a month an a half ago!), Happy Thanksgiving!
