Lately since I have been trying to procrastinate working on my MA final project as well as my writing, I have been hanging out a lot with roleplayers and gamers in Hong Kong. On Sunday, after a massively long night's sleep, I went to my friend Fred's house and played Left 4 Dead 2. It was awesome. I usually hate gore and shooting games, but this one was really good. It is four people who are left behind in various locations and they have to kill their way through a ton of zombies and special zombies to get out. Since it is four people even when you get swarmed and shut your eyes trying to shoot (like me) you can still usually make it to the end point....usually.
Aside from the fact my friend kept telling me that I have to keep my eyes open to shoot zombies, I was very proud of my kill rate - the lowest of all four characters but more zombies than I have ever killed. I was also convinced when we started playing this game that I would have nightmares in the evening, since I am such a weenie. But I didn't, and now I really want to play more! Apparently there is also a Left 4 Dead which is good, according to my zombie expert friend (Fred).
So it is now Monday in HK and I have to (sadly) get back to work. Maybe if I get a page of stuff written I can reward myself by crashing Fred's place and playing Left 4 Dead 2....although if he doesn't play with me I will probably be killed in record time.
