PlanetDan points out that today is the Feast of the Annunciation. For you non-religious types, that means today is 9 months from Christmas, also known as the “Feast of the Double Line“. So, to celebrate this special day, PlanetDan made a nice inspirational poster, suitable for framing:
See if you can Survive the Outbreak. Basically you watch little minute long clips of a movie and then you make a choice, driving the plot of the movie. Here’s the thing, I died. Constantly. Which is obviously rediculous considering I am widely known to be one of the foremost zombie experts.
I have some complaints about the way the whole thing is set up. Just like in a choose your own adventure, you might die from something that has nothing to do with what action you took. For example, you might choose to eat the ham sandwhich and then a stray bullet hits you. But that had nothing to do with your choice to eat the ham sandwhich! You couldn’t have known at the time of the choice that bullets were going to start raining through the kitchen table. So it is rather arbitrary, and not actually a very good test of your zombie survival skills.
Luckily, also like choose your own adventure, you can go back and pick a different path, although many of them end up going down the same path ultimately.
All that being said, it was actually well done. The film itself was actually done better than many full length zombie movie’s I’ve seen (i.e. Biker Zombies from Detroit).

P.S. Writing this post made me stumble on a lot of old choose your own adventure stuff, and man oh man did I love those books! Just seeing the covers brought back a lot of memories. You can check out their official site here.

I forget where I saw this first, maybe on The Soup? And then again on Planet Dan? Either way it is all over everywhere and, as usual, I am the last to blog it. I feel it is my civic duty to put these things on my blog to announce the end of them. Kind of like when your grandma starts saying “what’s up” or calling your friends your “homies”. That’s what I strive for at least.
Anyway, make sure you watch all the way to the end:
Yesterday someone found my blog using the search term “zombie solution stuck in a building”. I would like to think that person found what they were looking for here on my blog.
Holy cow, it just struck me, someone trapped in a building by a zombie was furiously scouring the Internet for a way out!
PHASE TWO EVERYBODY, PHASE TWO!
I know I say this every single time but, it has been too long since we’ve had a game on here! Ice Breaker is a fun and very addictive puzzle game. There are poor vikings frozen in the ice and it is up to you to save them. Cut them down using the mouse and get them onto the viking ship where the captain can break them free. I thought levels 38 and 16 were the hardest.
At first I felt bad for those poor trapped vikings and did my best to free them as fast as possible, but after awhile I started to question things. How did those vikings get there in the first place? I mean, sure a viking could fall down and get frozen in ice, but how does a viking get rolled up in an ice ball suspended by roped down birds with magical rune ice around them? Come on!
