Left 4 Dead 2: 28,981,249,043 Zombies Served

- By - Source : Tom's Guide US

Brraaaaaaiiiiinnnssssss!!!!!!!!

Video games have sometimes worn the unfortunate title of being murder simulators; but if there were ever a zombie apocalypse, we'll be glad for Valve making Left 4 Dead.

As noted in the Left 4 Dead blog: In the first two months of Left 4 Dead 2's release, 28,981,249,043 zombies have been shot, bludgeoned, chainsawed and killed.

To put that number in perspective:

  • The entire population of the planet has been zombified and killed 4.26 times.
  • With the average height of a zombie being 6 feet, if you stacked them end to end they would circle the globe 1,322 times.
  • If you placed 28,981,249,043 rulers end to end, they would reach 28,981,249,043 feet in the sky.

Come and get it! It's a running buffet! All you can eat!

28981249043 feet in the sky isn't the sky, it's space :P

i put in about 150k on the first one and have put in 16k on L4D2 (COD is very distracting)

I think I'd rather see how many MILES that is into the sky, than saying "28 billion rulers is 28 billion feet" as though that tells me anything interesting. FYI, it's 5,488,873 miles, or 6% of the distance to the Sun.

What about the extra 1/2 inch or so that's usually on each end of the ruler?

Thanks, I don't know how I would get by without expert analysis such as that. I also hear that if you stack 28,981,249,043 yard sticks on top of each other, they would reach 28,981,249,043 yards into the sky.

Guys- I'm pretty sure that ruler stat was a joke.

At least, I hope it was.

Good to know that if the zombie apocalypse does happen, all we have to do is unleash the gamers upon them and it'll be cleaned up within two weeks, no matter how many there are.

Is there any way to prevent being votekicked randomly out of games? I feel like I wasted money on this game since I can be playing normal and then stupid people vote kick me out. And it sucks that the key gets registered to your steam account so you can't just resell the game.

That's a lot of people with too much time on their hands.



In the time you posted this you could have killed 4.345 zombies.
Be part of the solution!

LOL did anyone else facepalm at this?"If you placed 28,981,249,043 rulers end to end, they would reach 28,981,249,043 feet in the sky."Rule = 1 foot x 28,981,249,043 you get the same answer lol. Oh how this is a reflection on the American education system we have become 'tarded.



lol they cudnt find anything else to add and they had to post something to satisfy their nerd-adrenaline rush but.. the truth cudnt be withheld; their intelligence showed its true colors.
