When Valve released “The Passing” DLC for Left 4 Dead 2, it was the first time that we got to see the cast of the original L4D in the new game.  We also saw the ultimate fate of one of the original characters, but I won’t spoil it for those who haven’t seen it yet.

I somehow forgot this fact, despite having done the former and latter, so the first thing I did when I got home tonight was play the game.
