For years I’ve been dreaming of a Left 4 Dead mod that features the cast of Frasier. Trapped between safe houses in an abandoned hospital, Niles caves someone’s head in with a hardback copy of the ICD-9 codes, as Marty jams a door shut with his walking stick. Daphne – who’s a little bit psychic – correctly predicts the arrival of a Jockey through a broken window while Frasier is lost in a panic, circling wildly and raging about his next trip to La Cigare Volant.
It would work, I think. A set-piece at the KACL studios, where zombie-Roz traps them all in the sound booth as Gil Chesterton – possibly not zombie-Gil-Chesterton – lights the place on fire. A frantic last-minute rescue mission back to the apartment to save Marty’s armchair. Niles is wiping his new machine gun with a handkerchief because who knows who had it before him? Eddie sniffs out a cache of grenades. “Need a med-kit!” yells Daphne. I’m listening.
But is this the only way to take the greatness of Frasier and spin it into a video game? Is it even the best way? Let’s go to a new caller.
