Left 4 Dead's Zoe is a fifteen-digit freak

Man. How many times have I stared at that (aggravatingly long) loading screen and not noticed?

Oh well--if a character's digital inconsistency is one of the very few downsides to an otherwise brilliant game, I guess that's OK.

It does raise serious lore concerns, though. ;)

Obviously it's part of the infection. In an upcoming patch Zoey will mutate into a new class of special infected: the groper, a spider-like zombie capable of climbing any surface, holding a survivor in an iron grip, and typing 300wpm, all at the same time. There are still some balance issues that Valve is working on before they can push this one out though. A lot of people on the steam forums are complaining from the in-depth analysis that they've created off of the description that the groper isn't much of a sidegrade and needs her grope attack nerfed or people will stop playing Left 4 Dead just like they stopped playing Team Fortress 2 and Counterstrike: Source.

Am I the only one who thinks this is deliberate? The posters for each "movie" are pretty clearly hilarious sendup of bad painted movie posters from the 1970s, right down to the ambiguous-looking guns and the seemingly pasted-on faces. I'd say stupid anatomy mistakes are just part of the parody.
