Combining two of my favourite things on earth: This is why I love you, valvE. Comics + Left 4 Dead.
And it even made me cry when I finally read “The Sacrifice” a few months ago!

In the nineteenth century, a morbid and curious custom has spread to various parts of the world: the photos were ”Post Mortem”.
”Post Mortem” comes from Latin, meaning after death.
The photos ”Post Mortem” apparently originated in England, when Queen Victoria asked to photograph the corpse of an acquaintance or a relative, so she can keep as a souvenir.
soon after, this idea spread around the world, keeping a morbid reminder of loved ones that have passed on.
Even today, as strange as it may seem, some places still have this custom.
The girl who is standing in the photo is the one who is dead.
This is a classic example of photographic art.
Notice the hands
for people wondering how the corpse is standing up, there is a posing stand supporting the body it’s very hard to see but the stand is supporting the neck, arms and back.

the girl in this picture has her eyes open, but in some cases the photographer will paint pupils on the eye lids to make it seem like they are wide awake
Have some historical, non-fiction creepypasta.
I’ve studied about these pictures not too long ago.
One of the reasons they were so popular was that, while protography started to become popular at that time, it was still expensive, and sometimes the families couldn’t pay for take pictures of their children or other relatives often. So, they did it when said people died so, this way, they would have at least one memento of them.
Sometimes, the photos themselves were painted, to make the corpses look a little more “alive”. A lot of manipulation techniques were used.
It takes a lot to creep me out. This one did.
LEFT 4 DEAD 3 Spotted in Steamworks Database - reported by Bloody-Disgusting.com
If you’re a fan of Valve’s games — and really, how could you not be — you’re probably all-too-familiar with the company’s seeming inability to reach the number 3. With no third entry in the Half-Life, Left 4 Dead, or Portal series (I know, that last one isn’t completely fair) in sight, it’s almost as if Valve has something against trilogies. That may soon change. A sleuthy developer may have stumbled across something that might hint at an in-development Left 4 Dead 3. The dev, who has since been banned for violating Steam’s Terms of Use, but not before he found the game listed in the SteamWorks database. “I brute forced it in a way, there were lots of interesting things I found. L4D3 was the most interesting although it hasn’t been updated in months so it may be dead.” More after the break. It would seem almost stupid obvious to make a new game that’s both critically acclaimed and has sold a staggering 12 million copies, but that’s not how Valve works. To the frustration of many a gamer, they take their time.If this has even the remotest chance of being true…I would die of shock and joy before ever getting to play it.

CHILD CRIES AFTER EXPECTING TO MEET IRON MAN, GETTING RDJ INSTEAD
- via Gawker
Little Jaxson Denno was fully expecting to hang out with The Invincible Iron Man when his mom told him Tony Stark was shooting a movie in his neck of the woods.
Needless to say, the 18-month-old Western Massachusetts native was none-too-pleased when he ended up meeting Robert Downey, Jr. instead.
A priceless photo of their encounter has been making the rounds today, showing Jaxson bawling his eyes out as a perplexed Downey attempts to console him.
“He was fine as soon as he talked to him,” Jaxson’s mom Heather told People magazine. She explained that Jaxson was “confused because I kept telling him it was Iron Man and he knew it wasn’t. Well, not Iron Man in the suit.”
Poor Jaxson just can’t catch a break: He was last in the news in 2011 after having to spend the first three weeks of his life in the hospital unit for critically ill babies.

Oh, god, I feel like a terrible person for laughing at that picture. Poor kid. Poor RDJ.
Xbox One: still failin’ at E3, I see.
From Destructoid:
So far, everything dribbling out of Microsoft’s Don Mattrick at E3 this year reeks of the hubris that surrounded Sony in 2005. Hammering home that same cocky, flagrant contempt for the average consumer, Mattrick has uttered his version of Ken Kutaragi’s famous “get a second job” line.
“Fortunately we have a product for people who aren’t able to get some form of connectivity. It’s called Xbox 360,” he whimpered in an interview with Geoff Keighley. “If you have zero access to the internet, that is an offline device.
“When I read the blogs and thought about who’s really the most impacted, there was a person who said, ‘Hey, I’m on a nuclear sub.’ I don’t even know what it means to be on a nuclear sub but I’ve got to imagine that it’s not easy to get an internet connection,” he continued. “I can empathize, if I was on a sub I’d be disappointed.”
With the Xbox One launching in considerably less countries than the Xbox 360 due to this very demand for connectivity, Mattrick’s comments must come as quite an insult to the many territories being frozen out by the company’s lust for consumer control.
In any case, methinks those being told to buy an Xbox 360 are not going to obey Mattrick, and will instead go for a Wii U or PlayStation 4, the systems Microsoft has already ceded victory to in most of Asia and several other nations. Quite why Microsoft’s acting like it has a monopoly when it clearly doesn’t is baffling to me.
Kthx, Don! I WILL stick to my 360! *pockets $500 she won’t be spending this Christmas*

This is pretty cool and eye-opening. I wish someone would do this sort of thing with male 6-pack ab models.
They even Photoshopped the woman behind Selena’s arm, because apparently not only do celebrities have to be thin, but they must also only associate with other thin people…
Enrico Francis has been caught
This pisses me off so incredibly much!
This is ridiculous. And disgusting. beautiful people being photoshopped to fit impossible standards AND most of the non-caucasian women are being white washed so they look more “appealing”
this.
makes.
me.
SO ANGRY. I can’t find the words to say just exactly what I feel about this…gahhhhhh just no.
AND THEY FUCKING PHOTOSHOPPED OUT “ELTON JOHN AIDS FOUNDATION” FOR THIS ENRICO FRANCIS DUDE HOLY FUCK
It is always good to remember that you can be lied to in pictures…
Honestly, media, what the fuck. What else are you airbrushing out, other than real girls’ confidence?? A call to arms: STOP BUYING TABLOIDS. (It’s a start.)
