This blog is awesome! Everyday, a new illustration of a zombie is posted. Check it out!

This Nintendo DS top-down shooter promises "an invasion of leper zombies" that "won't stop at anything: from the succulent legs of ham of the Three Little Pigs to the sawdust brain of Pinocchio, they are all tasty morsels for the living dead."

Engrish aside, this might motivate me to finally buy a Nintendo DS. You can find more info here.

This fight isn't really relevant because it was from 2 seasons ago, but you don't need a reason to see Zdeno Chara kick some ass. I don't know why anyone even messes with this guy.

“Tyrannosaurus Rex” is supposed to go into production this August 2009. Rumors suggest it will be about a biker gang from hell, based on a comic book Rob Zombie created with Steve Niles called The Nail. However, in a MySpace post, Zombie claims he hasn’t told anyone what the film is about yet.

This is an advertisement for a book titled, Breathers: A Zombie's Lament. Here is a little blurb about the book:

Meet Andy Warner, a recently deceased everyman and newly minted zombie. Resented by his parents, abandoned by his friends, and reviled by a society that no longer considers him human, Andy is having a bit of trouble adjusting to his new existence. But all that changes when he goes to an Undead Anonymous meeting and finds kindred souls in Rita, an impossibly sexy recent suicide with a taste for the formaldehyde in cosmetic products, and Jerry, a twenty-one-year-old car-crash victim with an exposed brain and a penchant for Renaissance pornography. When the group meets a rogue zombie who teaches them the joys of human flesh, things start to get messy, and Andy embarks on a journey of self-discovery that will take him from his casket to the SPCA to a media-driven class-action lawsuit on behalf of the rights of zombies everywhere. Darkly funny, surprisingly touching, and gory enough to satisfy even the most discerning reader, Breathers is a romantic zombie comedy (rom-zom-com, for short) that will leave you laughing, squirming, and clamoring for more.

Sony Releases New Stupid Piece Of Shit That Doesn't Fucking Work

A coworker of mine sent this link along to me from Gizmodo.


This is either disgusting or awesome, depending on who asks me and what our relationship is.

Instead of being just for the solo male, I think this could be exploited to be used for a 2nd or 3rd date. "Want to come to my place and play games with my joystick?"

I've never understood why the dance animations in an MMO could make or break the game for some people. Seeing this video:

This morning I attempted to purchase tickets to see Flight of the Conchords in concert. I had Ticketmaster's page open and ready to click the "find tickets" button the moment they went on sale. I did this and had 2 floor seats waiting for me. I started to fill out my information and when I submitted it, it noticed that my email address was already registered on their site and it prompted me to login. I logged in and it sent me back to the main page. I lost my tickets and could not get back to them. Annoying. I tried to get tickets again now that I was logged in. I got two tickets once again, although these obviously weren't as good as the first set. It asked me to verify my billing information. I updated my address and it kept telling me that I needed to input my name exactly as it appeared on my credit card, which it was. I was stuck in an endless loop and could not get out. I tried for several minutes to no avail. I started over once again and this time was unable to get tickets. It appears as though it was sold out. I went back just to see if I could find a single ticket. I found one, but didn't have the heart to give ticketmaster my money. I don't know, they didn't really make my experience all that convenient.
