If you don’t know what Left 4 Dead (L4D) or Left 4 Dead 2 (L4D2) is, then please enlighten yourself. You will need the skills within for the zombie apocalypse. Trust.

While I was away on vacation, I was visiting a friend’s cottage and lo’ and behold, I found something rather interesting.

A TANK ALERT box.

Now, most people would attribute this rather curious looking device–colored in Half-Life orange no less–to the toilet it sat beside.

But not I. Not being well-versed in the art of zombie killing via L4D and L4D2.

No, I immediately went O M F G. And took a picture.

Yeah, all I could think about was how this would be so fitting in the Left 4 Dead universe. Because when you hear the thumping, T-Rex like vibrations of an approaching Tank, it’s already too late. But a Tank Alert Alarm System could save you precious seconds–allowing you to not run away (because there is no running away from a Tank), but to load up on ammo and prayers.

And it’s kinda funny how a franchise and soak into your head so much that the second you see something that could easily fit into said franchise, your brain automatically makes the leap. I love that.

Now I need to find something to defend against Boomers, because, well, they’re just gross.

I’ve been playing a ton of Left 4 Dead lately, a zombie-filled FPS on the Xbox 360…

And for anyone who has played this game, they can attest to the following video.

Priceless…
