Game Review (Another One) – Zombie Apocalypse

Filed by phoenixMagoo  |  September 30, 2009

Q: How many of us dream of actually living through the eventual zombie apocalypse?
A: All of us times 50 million.

There is something amazing about killing countless zombies. Will it ever happen to us? Yes. What’s the best thing we can do? Train.

I would not suggest the new Playstation Network game Zombie Apocalypse as your primary zombie killing training tool. I suggest the Resident Evil series as the primary “simulation” of an actual zombie apocalypse (especially Resident Evil 2 and 4).

However, Zombie Apocalypse is an awesome game. Like Mystery Guy said in the post before this post, it runs on the old school run and gun controller set up. Simple explanation: If you ever miss playing Smash TV (Big Money!!!), then this is the game for you. It’s fast and has a great array of weapons.

The standard weapon is a machine gun and it’s loaded with an infinite ammo clip and does the trick even against some of the harder zombies. There are weapon pick ups such as shotgun, riffle, rocket launcher, grenade launcher, dual automatic pistols and molotov cocktails. The game has one special weapon that is called “zombie bait.”

Zombie bait is a care bear that sounds like a talking elmo. Anyways, you toss one on the ground and all the zombies head for it and then it blows up. Awesome.

There are two, nay, three objectives to the game. First, killing anything that moves. Second, saving the “uninfected.” Thirdly and most important, staying alive.

Actually, this game will train you for the upcoming Zombie Apocalypse. Killing without thinking. In the apocalypse, thoughtless massacre  will make all the difference.

Check out the following dialogue from a dumb soon to be dead dude of the future apocalypse:

Dude: Omg…is that my high school english teacher!! He’s a zombie!! He’s coming this way! OMGOMGOMGOGM NO!!!! I’m being eaten!!

Now check out the dialogue from a survivor:

Dude: A zombie! [Shotgun Blast]

Never think twice about shooting a zombie. Zombie Apocalypse will get you thinking straight.

Fanboy Science: A Unied Theory of Superman’s Powers

Filed by mysteryGuy  |  September 30, 2009

This is a great day for fanboy science. Finally, a simple explanation for all of Superman’s powers has been written, all scienticific-like. From today’s Dinosaur Comics:

My friend Ben Tippett has been thinking about Superman’s powers from a physics perspective, and came up with a theory that all of his myriad powers: flight, x-ray vision, super hearing, cold breath, heat vision, lifting buildings over his head, catching Lois without breaking all her bones, etc, can be explained as manifestations of one power: the ability to manipulate the inertia of matter, both his own and matter that he comes in contact with. I’ve never heard such a simple Grand Unifying Theory of Superman’s powers before, so I convinced him to whip it up into a quick Scientific Paper Format, and here it is! AWESOME. Thanks Ben!

It’s genius. There’s even hand-drawn diagams!

Zombie Apocalypse

Filed by mysteryGuy  |  September 30, 2009

Zombie Apocalypse is a new game available on the PSN for $10. It’s an old school, dual stick shooter like Wolf of the Battlefield: Commando 3. Bonus, a preggers zombie-queen is the most disturbing zombie image I’ve ever seen.

Up In the Sky

Observers around the world have noticed weird glowing clouds. Scientists have theories, but I think they’re overlooking the obvious. Aliens are trying to terraform our planet for their own purposes.

Water On the Moon

Filed by mysteryGuy  |  September 24, 2009

Three different papers published in Science today have found proof of water on the moon. What I want to know is, when can I sign up for a lunar beach vacation? I’m still waiting on the jetpack I was promised.

Better RESPECT: Scooby-Doo’s 40th Anniversary

Filed by DrNecropolis  |  September 11, 2009

That’s right 40 year of Awesome.  This Sunday, September 13th, 2009 is the 40th anniversary of Scooby-doo.  I don’t want to hear any haters out there saying the show sucks, that’s how motherfuckers get shot!  The show is full of teh w1n for  at least 2 reasons:

1. Daphne is the HAWTNESS

2. It has provided children with a healthy dose of skepticism, and the idea that things are not always as they appear.  Not everything should be taken at face value and we need to use our brains and keen senses of observation to determine what is true and what is falsehood.

So please join me on Sunday (in spirit if not in person) and get down on watching some Scooby, preferably with Scooby Snax!!!

Even SPAM hates spam!

Filed by DrNecropolis  |  September 8, 2009

Though it may seem like a no brainer even SPAM hates spam.  Doubly so since spam detracts from the good name of SPAM (though I guess “good” is up for debate).  Anywho, take a read over here

See, told ya’!  I guess I have to side with SPAM here, we need a new term for spam, I say we go with “Bullshit fake ass e-mails”

I Sell The Dead (No, that’s not my part-time job…yet)

Filed by DrNecropolis  |  September 3, 2009

Never trust a corpse… The tag line for Glass Eye Pix stunning flick I Sell The Dead, is what slapped me in the face to check out this movie.  Arthur Blake(Dominic Monaghan, Lost) and Willie Grimes(Larry Fessenden also the Producer, Mulberry Street) are professional Grave-robbers who’ve been caught and sentenced to beheading.  On the night prior to Arthur’s execution, he is visited by Father Duffy(Ron Perlman, Hellboy/Chronicles of Riddick/ Many more awesome ass movies) to take his confession.  With the application of a bit o’ whiskey, we soon learn that Arthur’s carrear as a grave robber began at a young age and through the years his profession has led him to many a bizzare encounter.  From Zombies and Vampires to Aliens and Revenge, this movie has just about everything I look for in a great flick.  Due to the theme, one would think that this would be a dark journey through the lives our protagonists, but in actuality it’s a hilarious adventure of the first degree.  I give it 5 out of 5 Zombie Apocalypses, you need to see this film!…You will see this film…
