L4D assholes
I don't want to forget how Zexun and I guailan-ed (and got guailan-ed) by the two random players in L4D 2 days ago so here is what happened.
At first it was just the two of us, playing a normal campaign. At this point, we switched to L4D because we were bored with L4D2 already, having played the maps so many times already. I remember I picked Zoey as my character, Zexun set it to random and got Francis.
So we played the map that involved the characters going through sewage pipes. (Okay after searching it up on the internet, the campaign in question here is "Death Toll".) They also had to waddle about thigh/waist-deep in sewage, depending on which point you were at in the map. About a while after we started, two random people joined in our game – I presume they were guys because I don't think girls would be so guailan LOL. Their IGNs were Dasubliminal and something Russian something... For simplicity's sake I will just call them D and R.
We had just finished the first chapter of the campaign when they joined in (if my recollection is correct). I was slightly miffed because they appeared to not know what they were doing so I assumed they were noobs. I even exclaimed to Zexun, "Eh got two random people join in leh" and "Walao where are they going why they never follow us, they anyhow walk" but he said to just play with them.
In the second chapter, we were nearing the safe house already so Zexun and I ran ahead first. I think maybe because he was annoyed at how D and R didn't stay together with us in a group and constantly ran off on their own, Zexun decided to poke fun at them. I ran into the safe house first and Zexun trailed in after me – God knows where the other two were but they were someplace away from us. Zexun positioned himself at the safe house door and when D and R tried to enter the safe house (by pressing "E" to open the door from the outside), Zexun kept pressing "E" to close the door after one of them have opened it, so they weren't able to enter the safe house HAHAHAHA. Even as I type this now I'm snickering to myself LOL.
My impression that they were noobs was proven wrong after the next chapter began. They ran off on their own and didn't wait for us at all, whilst Zexun and I kept trying to catch up with them. When we got attacked by Hunters or Jockeys they didn't really care to save us either. Two-thirds into the chapter, Zexun died and I ran off on my own to the safe house. But because I wasn't familiar with this campaign, I had no idea that the safe house for this chapter (situated at a church) was to be the setting for a crescendo event ohmygawd. Imagine how I panicked?! HAHAHA.
At this point in time D and R were still somewhere behind, I could see the glowing outlines of their characters but could not see the characters themselves, so it meant they were a short distance away. After my attempt to open the safe house door (which culminated in me talking to the church guy in the safe house, leading to the start of the crescendo event and horde after horde of zombies), I expected D and R to haul their asses over to where I was and help me annihilate the hordes of zombies. Clearly they were very petty and childish people though because they just stayed where there were!!!!! I could see their glowing outlines, blithely pacing about in the same location, while I crouched in the corner outside the safe house door, blasting and knocking back the hordes of zombies trying to attack me, fearing for my rapidly dwindling ammo supply and life.
While I was gunning down the common infected from the crescendo event (thank God I picked my usual weapon of choice – the Submachine Gun, which has more ammo – over the Pump Shotgun), I kept crying out to Zexun, "WHY THEY DON'T WANNA COME AND HELP ME?!?!? THOSE IDIOTS!!!" and he replied that they probably wanted to wait it out and just let me die. How villainous are they!!!!
As George Herbert once said, "Living well is the best revenge" (I got this quote from Can You Keep A Secret? by Sophie Kinsella though LOL). I am so smug and thankful I didn't run out of ammo and I survived the crescendo event all on my own. Opened the safe house door, got a little startled seeing a Boomer inside ("Oh my god why got Boomer inside?!?!"), but quickly collected myself and shot him. I went into the safe house and closed the door and Zexun suggested I repeat the trick of closing the door when D and R try to enter the safe house HAHAHA so I did it but I was not as fast as Zexun so they managed to get into the safe house after a while :( Zexun managed to deter them for like what, 3 to 5 minutes? LOL.
My computer was slower so by the time I loaded the next chapter, everyone else had already gotten their supplies. They had to climb a ladder up to where the supplies were and by the time my game loaded, I was alone downstairs. One of the two random players (I can't remember if it was D or R but I remember the player was using Louis!) stationed himself at the opening where the ladder was and held down the "E" button with his health pack equipped... So whenever I tried to climb up the ladder, I would fall back down to the ground floor because "Louis was trying to heal me" zomg. Such an evil plan to prevent me from going on in the game!!!!!! Zexun noticed this and retaliated by healing Louis when he saw that I was climbing up the ladder HAHAHAHAHA again I'm guffawing to myself HAHAHHAHA
It took a few tries before I finally managed to get up the ladder but in between my attempts to do so, I went ahead and fired shots at Louis LOLOLOL I could see all the blood and hear all of Louis's "HEY!", "Zoey!" Ow man, ow! Why you shootin' me?!" and "You gotta stop that shit, Zoey!" HAHAHAHA. I FELT SO GRATIFIED.
After they finally allowed me to get up, D and R ran off on their own (Zexun waited while I took the health pack and refilled my ammo supply). And because Zexun and I weren't very familiar with that map (we seldom play L4D), we went around the area not knowing which direction to head. I think that D and R thought that with only two of us, we would probably get killed off by the special infected by they were W R O N G HAHAHA. Not only did we manage to navigate our way to where they were, along our way there, there were hardly any special infected at all!
We found them standing smugly outside the safe house, and immediately I started firing at them. They left the game while we went around the fence to get into the safe house. After Zexun got into the safe house he looked around and said that D and R had intentionally used up all the health packs that were supposed to be for the next chapter in the campaign my gawd those bastards. I cannot believe they had the last laugh but anyway it was getting late so we quit the game and left SAFRA.
