Play Left 4 Dead 2 at Atomic HQ!

Be amongst the first play Valve's next Zombie shooter.

Okay, we might be getting a cut-down version of Left 4 Dead 2 (curse you, Atkinson!), but that doesn't mean we still can't have fun with it - and that's exactly what we plan to do at Atomic HQ in Sydney on November 17.

There'll be pizza, there'll be drinks, there'll be gaming, and we want you to be a part of it. And what do you need to do?

Well, it's - kind of - simple. All zombie films and games are known for certain iconic characters, and that's what we want you to create. The L4D games certainly feature such memorable characters (ah, Zoey, you minx), and now it's your turn; we want you, in 50 words or less, to describe a Survivor - what they look like, how they've survived, and what they're special zombie-killing skills are.

We'll pick the 24 best, and they'll get the invite.

But, what's more, we want to you to dress up for this one! Come either as our Survivor, or a zombie, and there'll be a prize for the best costume on the night. For more info, and to enter, just head on over to the comp page.

Have entered, holy crap though, 50 words is not much to work with!

I spent a while typing up my guy and though I would be ok only to find I had written over 200 words!

Beer is the stuff of legends mate. Maaaaate.

I submitted some fine work, but I'm from Melbourne so I can't make it anyway.
