To come upon love without seeking it is the only way to find it.

Generally badass and/or epic events
I have several of these, but only think a couple really stand out. One I remember clearly has to be my first time playing through No Mercy on Expert with two friends and a bot, me trying to get the "Zombicidal Maniac" achievement. I had tried Crash Course in the past, but at the generator going out we always ended up dying. Anyway. We were on the finale, and kept dying. We all (excluding the bot, who always went first) ended up camping on one of the corners of the roof (the ones with the searchlights) and lasted till the very end. When the chopper arrived, we all jumped onto the main upper roof, I threw my pipe bomb, and a Hunter jumped one of my teammates, who was on the lower end of the ramp leading to the helipad. I opened up with my M16 to try and shoot it off him, but as soon as I do this my other friend walks in front of me and I accidentally incap him (I was bringing up the rear). The Hunter is still on my first teammate, the second one is down, a Tank just showed up and was about to punch the guy who was pounced, the pipe bomb had exploded, and a Boomer who was in front of me before the helipad just vomited on the downed friend. I started to leg it, and the first guy yelled "RUN! FUCK IT, JUST RUN!" and a second later he gets killed. I melee the Boomer away, jump on the helo, and the credits roll with me as the sole survivor. I was proud.

Another was during the "TAAANNNK!" mutation. I was on The Bridge finale, in The Parish. We lowered the bridge, and the Tanks spawned behind us. We lit them, and brought them down through sheer firepower. However, two people were incapped. Left 4 Dead is the name of the game (quite literally), so they were left 4 dead. The other guy who survived somehow ended up hanging, and I just said "to hell with it, I'm goin' for distance". I end up solo'ing the goddamn bridge, the whole time with four Tanks and a horde on my heels. About halfway through, I pick up a M16 and machete. This saves my ass soon after, as I get swarmed and chop my way out of it. My heart was going about a hundred times a second the whole way through, as well. Just to put the icing on the cake, I end up taking out a would-be hero on the other team close to the end when he tries to mimic my solo run.

In-game I:
Left 4 Dead

Prefer the Uzi and M16

Will often take the pipe bomb over molotov

Reload more than necessary

Hate vans

Like all the campaigns, but my favorites are No Mercy, Crash Course, and Blood Harvest

Prefer playing as Bill

Tend to lag just enough to screw me over at the worst possible moments, especially when I haven't been lagging at all

Wish that Bill would have lines in Crash Course

Left 4 Dead 2

Absolutely, completely love the G3

Despise the Hunting Rifle

Really like the SCAR-L

Don't really like the AKM

Like the Chrome Shotty

Don't find the Pump Shotty all that appealing

Still prefer the pipe bomb

Still reload more than I need to

Like both the SMGs, but I typically take the MAC-10

Typically prefer playing as Ellis, but it's not that big of a deal

Like Dead Center, The Passing, Dark Carnival, and The Parish

Am typically the guy who bails his friends out of trouble by killing the multiple Special Infected who are facehumping/strangling/tearing/etc them, or single-handedly taking out the mob that's kicking the shit out of their incapacitated bodies from halfway across the map, via my G3. Serious.

Rather pointless facts
I am a firm believer in youth rights.

I am a firm believer in gay rights.

I am an agnostic with atheist tendencies.

I am of German heritage.

Hardly any of my contacts in Skype come online anymore.

I play Mil-Sim airsoft.

I strongly dislike Apple products.

The shoebox to my left is gathering dust.

9/11 was not a conspiracy, you twats.

I don't see what's so great about the autospamguns or AKM.

I'm sick of people playing MW2.

I am a Minarchist.

Most umbrellas don't last two years.

I find the G3 to be the best firearm in L4D2.

When I heard that one of the original Survivors is going to die in The Passing, my reaction to this was the same as Doctor Robotnik's reaction to losing his shuttle in deep space: I got out of my chair, faced down the screen and yelled "WHY!?".

Pages that I think are pretty cool:
