Ten WORST things to do During a Zombie Outbreak - ZombiePhiles.com

Check out zombiephiles.com, a weekly zombie blog with some very insightful articles on surviving a zombie outbreak where Max Brook's Zombie Survival Guide fails.

I find this list MOST important, beyond any advice in event of a Zombie Outbreak. You can have all the guns, armor, vehicles, and supplies in the world- but if you're an idiot... you're doomed.

Ten WORST things to do During a Zombie Outbreak

  • Don't set zombies on fire.
  • Don't get sentimental.
  • Don't forget to shut the door behind you.
  • Don't keep zombies in your basement. Even if they are your zombie family.
  • Don't try to reunite with friends or family over long distances.
  • Don't go down. Stay away from "basements, gullies, sewers, and anyplace else that zombies might unwittingly wander."
  • Don't broadcast your presence.
  • Don't stand in front of the window.
  • Don't get too creative with zombie defense.
  • Don't be "that one asshole," in your group.

Zombie films are always interesting because the characters always do what you shouldn't- and it's funny, because the dumb fucks die in the most horrible ways and I'm the one who ends up giggling. Zombie films wouldn't be good if the characters were complete, intelligent, badasses and knew everything to do in case of a zombie outbreak. As we prepare for the eventual zombie take-over, we should remember these rules and live by them in daily life.

ZOMBIES INVADE TEXAS!

Hacking road signs is nothing new- I found this story in my news feed.

Hackers Crack Into Texas Road Sign, Warn of Zombies Ahead

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

This is what happens when you take classic literature and add zombies.



Pride and Prejudice and Zombies features the original text of Jane Austen’s beloved novel with all-new scenes of bone-crunching zombie action. As our story opens, a mysterious plague has fallen upon the quiet English village of Meryton—and the dead are returning to life! Feisty heroine Elizabeth Bennet is determined to wipe out the zombie menace, but she’s soon distracted by the arrival of the haughty and arrogant Mr. Darcy. What ensues is a delightful comedy of manners with plenty of civilized sparring between the two young lovers—and even more violent sparring on the blood-soaked battlefield as Elizabeth wages war against hordes of flesh-eating undead. Complete with 20 illustrations in the style of C. E. Brock (the original illustrator of Pride and Prejudice), this insanely funny expanded edition will introduce Jane Austen’s classic novel to new legions of fans.

Available April 15th, 2009.

World War Z - Concept Art

io9.com has an amazing piece Concept Art for the World War Z film by artist Daniel LuVisi.

Resident Evil 5 Demo




The Resident Evil 5 Demo has been on Xbox Live since the 26th and ends February 1st.

The demo consists of two levels, Public Assembly and Shanty Town, with the options of both online and offline co-op.

There is an enormous amount of reviews on the internet for the demo, so I feel like I don't have to give you one.

By the end of the day- I think I masturbated to this game over 30 times.

Survival Tips:

First Attack
There are a few tricks to deal with that first attack of Majini before the Executioner attacks. Before you enter the room, triggering the cinimatic, you can shoot some of the breakables that contain ammo, saving massive amounts of time. Don't push the bookshelf all the way in front of the left window. If you push it just over the window, the Majini will still have to break it down, this also allows you to stand directly next to the window and slash the Majini safely with your knife.

Low on Ammo?
Look everywhere- there is ammo in the most disguised places like under mangos. Search around a level with no intent of beating it to develop a strong stragety.
If all else fails, use your knife. The Majini in these levels are weak. Slash them in the head with the knife then melee them to their death.

Explosive Barrels / Electric Boxes
Lure a group of Majini past a barell and have your buddy blow them to smitherenes. Electric Power Boxes are scatterd all throughout the levels, shoot them down to electricute nearby enemies. Shoot it again after it's done to release another electric shock.

Reload Cancel
While in front of a stunned enemy, reload. While in reload animation, immediately press X, the melee attack button. You will melee the enemy and your gun will be reloaded.

Gunshot Cancel
Effective against Executioner and Chainsaw Majini. While in front of the stunned enemy, fire off a round. While in the firing animation, immediately press X, the melee attack button. You will shoot and melee the difficult Majini.

Panic Inventory
Moving items in your inventory can be a pain in the midst of battle, quickly access your inventory when you can't control the game otherwise when; in the middle of jumping through a window (temporarily invincible), just after melee attacking, or while in the midst of reloading. There are many other frames of animation where you are invincible, giving you enough time to pop up your inventory.

Dead Snow Trailer

Dead Snow was featured at the Sundance Film Festival. IFC has picked up the rights to distribute it in the United States in 2009.



Does this trailer make you want to kill Nazi Zombies?

Bioh4zard 2 - Left4Dead Mod

What makes PC versions of games far superior to their console counterpart is the ability to mod.

Left4Dead modders are re-creating Resident Evil 2's maps.

"Zombie" Dogs a Reality - Medical Breakthrough


Pittsburgh's Safar Centre for Resuscitation Research has developed a technique in which subject's veins are drained of blood and filled with an ice-cold salt solution.

The animals are considered scientifically dead, as they stop breathing and have no heartbeat or brain activity.

But three hours later, their blood is replaced and the zombie dogs are brought back to life with an electric shock.

Plans to test the technique on humans should be realised within a year, according to the Safar Centre.


What the fuck.
This is a huge medical breakthrough.

Imagine the possibilities and future humans have in store just from this new technology.

Left 4 Dead Posters






I am attracted to the gorgeous faux posters shown while loading the levels for Left 4 Dead. Besides the fact that I abso-fucking-lutely love this game, the posters give the game a cheesy horror film feeling. The tag lines are aweful and closely resemble some bullshit you would see on a movie poster.

You can buy them at the Valve Store for $6.99 or all four for only $14.99.
Besides the posters, indulge yourself in multiple Left 4 Dead T-shirts and sticker packs.

Top 10 Zombie Apocalypse Games - Gaming Verdict

Top 10 Zombie Apocalypse Games
- GamingVerdict.com

  1. Dead Rising (Xbox 360, Wii)
  2. Resident Evil Series (Various)
  3. Left 4 Dead (Xbox 360, PC)
  4. Last Night on Earth (Board game)
  5. The House of the Dead Series (Arcade, Various)
  6. Urban Dead (Internet)
  7. Zombies Ate My Neighbors! (Megadrive, SNES)
  8. Zombi (Amiga)
  9. Hunter: The Reckoning (Xbox, Ps2)
  10. Infected (PSP)
This list is fucking idiotic.
But- it's worth posting because it's ballsy. Dead Rising gets the top spot? Blow me. Left 4 Dead at number 3? It's good, but not better than the House of the Dead series. What the fuck is Last Night on Earth? If any board game is on the list it should be Twilight Creations Inc.'s Zombies!!! Who played Infected? Looked shitty to me. While Urban Dead seems to be popular shit, I can't get into it.

Gagaga SP - Dead Rising



Dead Rising: Chop Till You Drop for the Wii is coming out soon. From early reviews, it doesn't seem to play very well. In the meantime enjoy this Japanese band, Gagaga SP, scream lyrics you can't understand.
