After chatting about L4D with John Scalzi during the kaffeeklatch on Saturday, I mentioned that someone ought to fanfic that line of graffiti. He then looked me in the eye and told me to do it.

So... looks like I have a writing project. Too bad I haven't quite figured out how to do it yet. Normally the answer would be "Play more L4D," only I can't because I don't have the equipment.

*sigh*

Left 4 Dead?

It's the best computer game tactical anti-zombie self defence simulation training software ever. I have issues with its modelling of zombie dynamics (it esposes the erroneous so-called "fast zombie" model instead of the more-accurate classic Romero slow-zombie/headshot model), and I have issues with the firearms modelling too, but the characterization, dialogue, writing and atmospherics are fabulous.

And ask me what my icon means :).

...fast zombies? That just sounds wrong.

Thanks btw :) And sure, I'll fall for it - what does your icon mean? ;)

Well, the game has an achievement system where you are awarded achievements based on doing certain things, one of them being titled "Zombie Genocidest" (sp?), which you get after killing a certain number of zombies...

I thought it might be something of the sort. :)
