Aside: ‘Till Death Do Us Part
By the age of 20, seemingly every girl has their wedding day perfectly mapped out in their head; each excruciating detail covered, from flower arrangements and wedding gowns, to what song the bride and groom will first take to the dance floor with. And they likely won’t have even met the dude yet. I can say with much certainty I have never been that girl. No, if you delve into the inner workings of Ashley Baxter’s head, you will likely find a mixed array of thoughts on what it would be like if I were a superhero, merged with the odd Daniel Craig fantasy, followed by what kind of Bond girl I’d be. However, I have to give my hat off to a good ceremony when I see one, and no union comes better than a Left 4 Dead 2, zombie themed wedding (that links to an image you have to check out).
Video game themed weddings, eh? Apparently some people do that. In front of 4,000 zombie impersonators no less. The undead couple also honeymooned in New Orleans, and it’s no coincidence that New Orleans is where the upcoming sequel to Left 4 Dead is set. They were also transported to their honeymoon in a hearse kitted out with a ‘Just Infected’ sign, and a wreath that read ‘Left 4 Dead 2′. Morbid? Yes. Crazy? Also yes. Whether it was a mutual decision, or the hubby’s hardcore game addiction that bullied the bride into splattering blood on her dress, I can only wonder if the marriage will last after the inevitable fight for who gets to play Left 4 Dead 2 first commences. I sure hope so.
I don’t have anything derogatory to say about Alan Wake. My advice to you? Spend a night in Bright Falls and soak up the eerie atmosphere. Alan Wake excels at thrilling you psychologically. Which is why it’s called a psychological thriller, I guess…
