You know, we like puns and silly humor here at the Joystiq Network (just look at any headline from
Alexander or
Ludwig). Valve? Now there's a committed bunch to a joke. Months ago Valve released
the box art for its upcoming co-op infused shooter,
Left 4 Dead. The box art followed a simple, yet witty checklist: Deformed hand of a dead zombie? Check. Four fingers shouting out to the title and number of players in a squad? Check. But, something was ... missing.
Today, Valve corrected one tiny error to
make the joke complete. The original image on the box art has been flipped to appear as though it were a left hand. Get it? Left. 4. Dead. We really hope no one paid extra for a few Photoshop keystrokes.
[Thanks to everyone who sent this in]

Another Xav post marathon. Power to Canada! Also, hilarious how this had to happen. You'd think SOMEONE in the huge amount of people who worked on the game would think of that.

I don't like it. The right hand was WAY more aesthetically pleasing to the eye.

omg you put that "a" twice!
But seriously I can't wait for this game, getting it for PC though but will probably still get a retail box for the puns.

The sequel, "Left 2 Die" that's just my opinion though.

with the right hand >:D

We really arguing about story selection at 10:30PM?

Silly Valve, I'd give you my money even if the box is just orange.

Hmm, a co-op game made by Valve. Why have I not been following this one?
