Valve is obsessed with your thumb photo

Live near New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, Seattle, Miami, Phoenix, Dallas, Minneapolis, or the San Francisco Bay Area? Good. Now go seek out Left 4 Dead 2-related outdoor advertisement and snap a picture of yourself doing something creative next to the billboards, bus ads, or whatever you can find.

Do you even need a reason for doing this? Fine, here's one: Valve will be giving out a custom "infected" Xbox 360 to the best participant, and the 25 runners-up get signed copies of Left 4 Dead 2.

Supposedly, the Gabe Newell will be looking over the entries. Trust us, that's one man you do not want to let down under any circumstance. You'd better hurry, because the deadline for the "Dude! Where's My Thumb Contest 2" is this Sunday.

My god... I'm so very sorry, but the hand in that picture is pretty gnarly. And I haven't used that word in over ten years!

You forgot to mention what happens to the entrants who don't win: Gabe Newell eats them.

Hey to those people who can actually participate I have an idea for a photo for you.

Bring scissors, pretend to cut your fingers off.

I clicked just so I could remark about the nails, and then saw that over a dozen people beat me to it. :(

Let him down? How in the hell would you be able to pick him up in the first place?
