More Zombie Stuff

Zombie S.A.S.: Zombie Assault is all about surviving against waves of undead monsters. Grab money to upgrade your defenses and your guns. As levels progress, the waves of zombies become harder and harder to repel. Can you make it through all twenty gruelling waves of zombie assault?

Bizarro Jonny Quest

I ran across this today, but I have no idea where it is from.

Zombies and Those Like Zombies

Today is Halloween. To mark the occassion, I thought I would share a few of my favorite holiday-related things.

The first offering is Urban Dead. Urban Dead is a "free-to-play browser-based multi-player game" in which one can play the role of the survivor or victim of a zombie outbreak in the city of Malton, "alongside tens of thousands of others." I used to be quite active, but only recently picked the habit up again. It's simple, but it beats the hell out of Farmville.

While playing on Urban Dead recently, I found a link to Dead Frontier which professes to be "the ultimate survival horror MMORPG." And best of all, it's free. I haven't been able to get my character to quite firing shots at random without me doing anything on the keyboard.

I also recommend Lost Zombies.

If tabletop is more your speed (or lack thereof, since we are talking zombies), I recommend John Wick's Shotgun Diaries. I haven't played myself, but I've read some awfully good things about it. Coming in at less than 20 pages, anyone could download a copy and run a special Halloween game this evening.

If all of that is just too "involved," go here, the pick your zombie-fighting "dream team."

For reading, I recommend World War Z by Max Brooks and Cell by Stephen King.

For your viewing pleasure, I recommend 28 Days Later and its sequel 28 Weeks Later. If you've already seen both, check this out:

Whitman Knew ...

Poet Walt Whitman knew a thing or two about the Great Old Ones. I didn't notice back when I took the Emerson/Thoreau/Whitman survey, but ran across it the other day.

"Have the elder races halted?
Do they droop and end their lesson, wearied, over there beyond the seas?"
--Walt Whitman, "O Pioneers"

Davy, Davy Crockett, King of The Wild Frontier

This is a Davy Crockett tactical nuke from the National Infantry Museum at Fort Benning, Georgia. I took this while on a Cub Scout field trip last weekend. More photos to follow. The great thing about this almost half-century old nuclear device is that I didn't need to use a flash; it provided it's own glow.
