How to Survive a Zombie Attack (in Plain English)

Putting aside online documents and media releases, Lee and Sachi have created a new educational paper-based video that can help us all:

Despite the suggestion that BC is a hotbed for the undead, I dugg their video.

I have two related thoughts:

  • There’s a remarkable amount of zombie-based stuff on the web. Lee points to the always useful Zombie Survival Wiki. A couple of years ago I linked to a Kuro5hin article on the same subject, and people continue to drop by and leave comments on that post.
  • Seeking vapid reading material for a recent long-haul flight, I picked up the Zombie Survival Guide. To be frank, it was unoriginal and poorly written. It did, however, while away the hours between London and Toronto.

Fun Zombie Killer of a Web Game

April 28th, 2007, 3 Comments »

Can’t wait for 28 Weeks Later (I can, the first one was frickin’ terrifying)? Play the gory The Last Stand, a web game in which you slay zombies by night and gather weapons and survival by day. In truth, it’s not all that great a game, but I like dysoptian scenarios and carnage.

Are there any analogous PC or console games set in zombie-filled post-apocalypse worlds that aren’t first-person shooters? Something in an RPG, perhaps?

Incidentally, 28 Weeks Later comes out on May 11, 2007. I was curious, so I looked it up.
