I decided to give Left 4 Dead 2 a try, and was immediately enthralled by the game. This would change, however, on June 13 it was the day of my convocation, and I was taking the morning off from research. While that turned out to be a wise decision (as my GPA for the year attests), once the summer began, I was occupied with Crysis and Battlefield: Bad Company 2 paired with my research work, I did not have time to play Left 4 Dead 2, save an introductory game I played with a friend. At the time, I was up to my eyeballs in software engineering projects, databases assignments and an honours thesis, so I resolved not to play my new acquisition until my semester had ended.
I had also received an NSERC for the then upcoming summer. That turned out to be quite an eventful day, as spring was beginning, and my copy of Aimer’s RE:I AM had arrived. Six months ago, I got Left 4 Dead 2 on a sale for five dollars on Steam on March 20.
