Gamers Mistake Riot for Zombie Apocalypse
By Halolz Senior E3 2010 Correspondent Mike Moore
Many gamers, upon leaving some E3 after parties Thursday night, were confused to find a large police presence out on the streets of LA. The swathes of police in riot gear, and the prevalence of police helicopters, led many of these gamers to conclude that a zombie outbreak had occurred. It is reported that some offered their services to the police, boasting their Left 4 Dead stats and skills.
“We weren’t really sure what they were talking about,” said one unnamed police officer about his experience with one group, “They seemed pretty drunk, and seemed harmless so we left them alone. Eventually they went away yelling about umbrella and looking for pills or something.”
Reports seem to indicate that most of these after parties had open bars, which possible led to the gamers’ mistake in understanding the situation.
Additionally from what we have been about to piece together the police presence was due to the winning of some sort of non-video game event which occurred at the Staples Center arena. This was the same location Activision used for their press conference a few days earlier. We have contacted Activision, and are waiting to receive word if the two events were in any way connected.

Email your video game related LOLZ to and if it's good we'll post it!
Did you know the site has over 2,500 video game themed lolz? 
…This can't be real… Mike, tell me you just made this up… please…
It's as real as you want it to be… which is to say its not.
this just in…. CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!!!!!
I hope they left in groups
Cause if one of them fell down, they would not be able to get back up
So it's fake? Good.
Sorry, you're a few submissions late.
EDIT: MEDIC! MEDIC! Boys, we have a -1 Troll! I require assistance!
Let's see them brag when they can pull off Shoryukens on burgulars.
All is going according to the plan…
What? What plan? What are you talking about? I'm not making riots or anything
>_>
CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES?!
during the so called "zombie outbreak" pharmacies were looted for most of their pills.
I went to a bar in the after parties. Ordered a molotov.

*+1s Alpar*
*sigh* Ze healing leaves little time for ze killing.
Francis hates misunderstandings.
After E3? Are you sure not during E3?
"BOOMER!"
"Hey, I'm Gabe Newell."
If that was real LA would blow up because of massive epicness
Yeah I often mistake a lot of things for signs of a zombie outbreak. Mass hysteria, riots, someone limping… creepy clowns at children's parties and/or carnivals. Particular the dark ones.
Edit: Gentlemen, with this post I have reached 69p!
ANOTHER -1 troll?
I'll get everyone else's, someone get mine.
Don't worry I got ya. but he seems to have attacked some people I've already +1ed so try to get them if someone else can
…and then Half-life episode three was delayed another week.
I got everyone's but mine, so that should do it.
Oh, and since you weren't on the forums when we were saying it, happy birthday!
You know, it's funny as to how our E-Peen does absolutely nothing, and yet, we act like this.
Well, congratulations, my fine Sir, for reaching the so wanted 69p and joining the Gentlemen's Club
..and conventions, and gamers..
I guess either we really support each other as a community or we are incredibly selfish.
Why thank you good sir. It has recently become apparent to me that my verbosity is increasing at a significant rate that one would find to be recalcitrant. It is now currently in my utmost interest to endeavor to cease these paroxysms of eloquent speech as it is incredibly agonizing on one's gullet and mentality.
Thanks I was stuck in college with no internet so i'll check that thread out!
What's the difference? At the rate we make these jokes, it won't be released until 20XX.
Or both.
You know what he doesn't hate? He doesn't hate this.
If this had actually happened, we all know what to do. Kill all sons-of-bitches. That's our 'ficial instructions.
!!!
QUICK! Someone make a picture of the Megaman 2 Title Screen but make it say Half Life 2 and make Megaman into Freeman!
Blast, does that mean I have to kill my dog too?
You know, that reminds me of one time, with my friend Keith, we was huntin', and these two birds the size of cows came runnin outa nowhere. Good ol' Keith, he started shootin' em, and soon as they ran off, he went and gotten himself an idea, that we should chase em with our dogs. So then, we grabbed our dogs, some motor oil, and headed on down to th-
Maybe a E3-Apocalypse is not the best time?
Proof that the hardest part about a zombie apocalypse… will be pretending that none of us are excited about it.
Why did Vyse have a -2 for that comment?
*+1's Vyse*
…And I expected the picture with L4D yuri, or a link to a picture of a vest…
Or make a ripoff of spartaman! http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/525514
If the zombie apocalypse happens I own this book so I can beat all the zombies with it. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Zombie_Survival_…
I recommend you to buy this book or a semi-automatic rifle, or a giant satellite laser beam.
It'll give me time to create a new world order like all the other people trying to make zombie apocalypses. Also I can create Daveland because what kind of a name is France anyways? http://www.questfordaveland.com/Home.html But who wouldn't want to kill zombies every freaking day?
This is natural selection in action people! either that or somebody invents the FEV from fallout 3.
Or this
Or we are really bored and like clicking? Or a wizard did it.
NO U
By-tor? Now's not the best time…So go either kill some zombies or play some games…
Limping? oh, right, Zombies limp all the time…
KILL ALL THE WEAK MONSTERS IN MH3
+1 that +1.
My e-peen would be in a hundred if I wasn't so absent lately, but my cat was in dire need of petting.
Could it be talking about this? http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/lanow/2010/06/she…
Only if your dog is a boy.
The Cheezburger network? In my halolz? I thought the opposite is supposed to happen -.-
Seriously though, alot we gamers are screwed if the zombies apocalypse ever comes. 20% of us will die from just slamming a whole bottle of pain pills in one gulp, another 20% of us will die from getting swarmed by zombies after realizing that we don’t have magical never ending pistol ammo, another 20% will die because they startled the Witch by trying to erm….. “touch” her, and the rest of us will survive purely Driven by the hopes that HL2, Episode 3 might come out eventually.
God Damn you jimmy gibbs jr.!
And I would be caught somewhere in the Blast radius. In the blast if you mean the entire LA county
Knowing you, I thought you would've killed it.
NO ME
My brother actually got me that for Christmas a couple years ago. T'was an epic read.
Hey look laser beams!
I can't, It's to complete my evil villain image.
It's a pure white, very fluffy cat.
WHO U?
With green eyes?!
Epic picture is epic
and threw it somewhere that the "zombies" could come from.
Whitish blue, almost a silver.
I call this a survival guide to the internet http://www.flayme.com/troll/ like the person(s) who -1'd me.
Evil indeed, I must admit…
Well, card games are pointless
and so are motorcycles.
Yet, thanks to LK and Konami, the talk of the world is CARD GAMES ON MOTORCYCLES!!!!!!!!
Story is a lie? Makes for a sad ferret.
the only problem is that most of us will perceive ourselves as good zombie killers, when in fact we'll just be a bunch of fat kids. i can imagine it now…a bunch of zombies dressed up in vests and ties running around and killing people, just like in L4D2
this is a trap written by the new special infected "The AI Director"
