the first video you ever watched

[Etheallmighty]

A lot of us have been obsessed with this game for a long time now, so I thought it would be cool if people posted what they remember to be the first video they ever saw of L4D that got them hooked, whether it be the teaser, or any other gameplay video...I also think it's cool to see how far the game has come.

Here's mine:

I still remember when I first learned of left4dead from this website, so I instantly went on youtube and searched for videos all night. I must have watched THIS VIDEO (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gSSHqNicKSs) 100 times...the song was stuck in my head for days.

I remember getting shivers/crapping my pants at 1:10 and 1:20

I saw the trailer on the orange box menu. It really took me by surprise.
I then investigated and watched some videos.

I don't know how people have waited three or four years for this game. It would drive me bat-shit insane :)

[Darth_Chimp]

I saw the original trailer back in the very early days, even before this site existed! i have been waiting a loooooong time for this game...

That was the same video that really got me hooked. Before that I was just curious, but oh boy after watching that beatiful zombie goodness I knew I was getting this game.

Same here...Actually the first thing i saw about the game was a screen-shot on gamespot.

[SlainPwner666]

I got interested in it with the PCG article on it WWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY back, and I followed it, and eventually stumbled upon THE MYSTICAL MAGICAL 411!!!!!

[Deadly]

Saw the teaser when the teaser first came out. Found this website once they had the first preview. THen there was that one video with the annoying girl's voice and the guy that said "It's like 28 days later and its hella fun"

[A Shiny Potato]

I saw the 1up video waaaay back then searching for a zombie mod.

I believe the trailer was up January 9th and we launched January 11th.

Well 9 comes before 11.

[one of them]

The first thing I saw of this game was at E3.

[UKMD Elmo]

I first heard about it several years ago when it was first announced. The first video I saw was the one using all the original character models, watching them run into the stret, investigate the cop car with all the bodies then get attacked by the horde. After that I was just gagging for some more. One helluva long time in the making, but worth it.

This was the first vid i saw, i was instantly hooked how the horde came running round the corner and bam!
After that vid, i followed this game like hell waiting for the next vid/info/pics to come out.

[Shrubberyjsc]

I believe the trailer was up January 9th and we launched January 11th.
Site was designed on the 7th and launched on the 12th, according to the about page.

I got hyped by this site and the steam ads.

Can't remember the very first video tho.

[InstantDeath]

I got interested in it with the PCG article on it WWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY back

Same one, got the PCGamer issue, watched the video and was instantly hooked.
Found a youtube link to exact video!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sbHaJaPeOgk It was posted on 07/07/07 (Almost 2 years ago!)
It has a few ads before the actual L4D footage.

[darkmessiah]

I got hooked when I found out that a new zombie game was coming out.

I never saw many videos...

[DethPenguin]

The first one I watched was the one with Shrubs (Whom I didn't know about back then) falling out of windows.

First time I saw the game was when my friend brought over his 360. I had only heard of the game before then, and didn't really keep up with it. But when I played it, I was instantly sold. Snapped up PC version as soon as possible.

[yourbadmega]

i first saw the game on gamespot and they didn't have shit on it, so i was like, whatever probably just another dead island. Then i found the first trailer and was immediately hooked. I started searching everywhere and eventually found this site. I lurked for like, a year or two then joined. There's my story for ya

[Padfoot240]

When the survivors first came out of the apartments in No Mercy 1, the player turned to the left and I saw a door getting torn apart and 40 zombies rushing out.

That sold me right there.
