Hey Of course I will do L4D!
I just got back from a lan party up in Winnipeg Manitoba called Baselan.
I can tell you my friends there was at least one full game of L4D the demo going at all times.

I downloaded the demo on the 6th and have been playing way to much since.
I'll get back to you with more. ;)

I don't think snails feel pain. Most invertebrates don't have that kind of a nervous system. I could imagine in cases where you don't feel any kind of pain is from trauma or shock. Sleeping + gravity? lol

I want to know what know what science lines to draw to save humanity or put it at risk. Will snow effects be worth it to slow down the zombies, or will it also keep them from decomposing? Would we all be better off driving small cars instead of the decked out buses and vans in all the zombie movies? It seems like gas might be a bit of an issue. What old nursery rhymes teach lessons that we can use to fight the zombie horde?

(just a thought)

Not to disrespect the Kobain in you tovarishch, but Kobain was a drug addict who produced 3 albums. He died at the age of 27. I liked a few of his songs, but I doubt the lessons to a present day teen would stretch on very long over his short career. Nirvana in its short time sold an amazing 27 million albums. However, when you correlate Kobain to Lennon I would disagree. The Beatles sold over 500 million albums.

I would say Nirvana brought the garage band/grunge style to the mainstream, but that's about where the story ends. Would Kurt be at the top of your artist list?

p.s. I think this would be important as zombpacolypse survivors, because there are only so many artistic indulgences we can preserve.

If so who would be your top five artists of all time?
my choices for musical preservation - please comment
1. Beatles
2. Beethoven
3. Bob Dylan
4. Elvis
5. Eric Clapton

Do it for the lol! I'm 29!
I'm at that age to say, "age is irrelevant"!
Only attitude, choices, and maturity matter from this age and on.
SO I will be indefinitely 35. (sounds like a good stopping point)

Stubbs The Zombie: In death, Stubbs has finally achieved the success and power he never had in life – and he sees no reason to stop until all of Punchbowl, Pennyslvania is his. Of course, billionaire playboy industrialist Andrew Monday has other ideas. The tension mounts until the city explodes in a full-scale human vs. zombie war.

Review: Stubbs gets a solid 4 out of 5 headshots. Think of all the times we’ve seen zombie survival. Picture a story about a scary terrible zombpocalypse, blah, blah, and blah. Now throw all that crap out the window for this masterpiece. You are the zombie, Stubbs the Zombie. One poorly dressed, half rotted, and motivated corpse on a mission. You are in vivid 50’s meets the Jetsons kind of stylistic community. Where everything is clean and proper and your first mission is to eat a few heads and mess it up. Stubbs is a third person game where you make your way through objectives by eating, swiping, calling on a zombie horde, and using your own body. Whether pushing a mindless zombie into some law enforcement as a diversion, or rolling your head like a bowling ball Stubbs keeps you guessing and shambling for many hours of hilarious slapstick style gameplay.

Advice: If you have ever wanted to take the side of the Zombie and eat everything that stands in your way you should play Stubbs the Zombie. Steam is the latest vendor to sell Stubbs directly online and at $5 it was a great deal for a fun game this last weekend. Taking the side less shambled has never been so fun!

Take a look at the intro video:

Dead Rising is a few years old, but the gameplay still rocks my socks. Here is the “official spiele”.

Dead Rising follows the harrowing tale of Frank West, an overly zealous freelance photojournalist on a hunt for the scoop of a lifetime. In pursuit of a juicy lead, he makes his way to a small suburban town only to find that it has become overrun by zombies. He escapes to the local shopping mall, thinking it will be a bastion of safety but it turns out to be anything but. It will be a true struggle to survive the endless stream of enemies, but players will have full reign of a realistic shopping center, utilizing anything they find to fight off the flesh-hungry mob and search for the truth behind the horrendous epidemic.

Review: Dead Rising gets 4 out of 5 headshots. The game is very close to being 5 out of 5, but I’ll get to the drawbacks later. Dead Rising puts you in a near present day version of Dawn of the Dead. Only this time, you weren’t able to keep the zombie horde out. The game focuses around a reporter named Frank. Frank is desperately trying to survive, uncover the true source of the zombie horde, and save any survivors he comes across. You do this with the aid of a mall map, radio contact with a mall rent-a-cop, and virtually anything you can get your hands on in the store. One of the most amazing aspects of this game literally is picking up anything in sight and using it to help combat your enemies. You can cruise on skateboards, swing a nine-iron, grab a bench, chainsaw some limbs, and more. The screen at times is filled from top to bottom with zombies all pushing and enclosing to feast on you so don’t get claustrophobic. A very cool and original feature to this game is the leveling system. As you kill zombies, uncover plotline, and save survivors you are granted experience. You use the experience to become stronger, faster, live longer, fight harder, and gain new maneuvers like tackling and zombie head jumping. What makes this original is your inevitable death. Once you die you are forced to restart the game from the beginning. However you retain any experience and abilities you have gained in previous attempts. Pretty cool in my book, because this mall is huge and it gives you reason and opportunity to search more areas then you normally would in a linear game. The only major drawback to this game is the communication. You receive all of your missions by a radio which in turn displays extremely grainy text for you to read and no actual audio accompanies it. The two way radio you have will go off numerous times during your adventure and the person on the other end always expects you to stop what you are doing and listen. You can’t fight, run, or interact with anything while you receive long winded text messages which you can’t read. The only way you can read the text messages is if you are running the game in true high definition on a high definition supporting tv/lcd. So in my case I’m sol.

Advice: If you want a never ending smash and dash with zombies galore it’s time to go shopping! Dead Rising is always there for my zombie smashing hunger and its originality sets it at least two maxed out credit cards ahead of its competitors. So come on librarians down to the mall it has all your shopping needs and the deals are simply to die for!

Hey John, I have definitely been tracking left 4 dead!
The Valve director Gabe Newell had a great interview at the Leipzig games convention. http://www.g4tv.com/xplay/previews/28106/Face_Time_Gabe_Newell.html
I love how they are actively changing the visuals of the game dynamically as you play. Pretty frickin Sweeeeet!

Thank you very much for the compliments Fred. (from a pm)
I do intend to continue reviewing games. Tentatively I plan on going over all of the newest stuff, but sure enough I'll revert my way back through the past games. My favorite resident evil was res evil 2. I'll try hit most of them though (although if you have played one they are all virtually the same).
Dead Rising on the 360 is most likely my next target and I'll try cover that tonight or this weekend.
