"L4D Zombies!" or "Zombie Thread Of Zombieness!"

[Seil]

I thought this might be in bad taste, due to the Norwegian incident. (Honestly, all my love to the victims and their families) Then I thought that we might need a silly thread for balance.

So, since my download speed is crap, and since it was late, I decided to play a littly L4D one. It was pretty rad, I met a few dudes, and we ran two or three campaigns together. They were neat. The thing is that when you run a few campaigns, you've got time to talk. One of the things we talked about (aside from how we're never rescued properly) is what kind of zombies we were facing.

Now, let's be clear: Dawn Of The Dead - the original, mind you - had slow zombies. That's ruled out. But its remake had fast zombies. The thing is that the L4D zombies show signs of sickness. They throw up, they lie down, whatever. We could be talking a virus like 28 Days Later, and the fact that people are immune (28 Weeks Later) shows signs of it being that. But Zombieland is also relevant, due to the clown zombies. (Dark Carnival Campaign, L4D2) Then we've got The Crazies, which is about a virus that makes people homicidal.
