I love H.P. Lovecraft’s story “Herbert West: Reanimator” The story of a mad science nerd obsessed with conquering death using his special serum. Still kind of creeps me out to this day.
Of course it all goes horribly wrong. Does it ever go right? Have you ever read a story where some crazy scientist plays God and it all works out well for everyone involved? And at the end of the story the mad scientist is lauded as a hero? No?
Okay, but when I do it, it’ll be different. You’ll see! YOU’LL ALL SEEEEEEEE!!!! (This is the part where I laugh maniacally for an hour while mixing bleach with ammonia in a vane attempt to reanimate my pet hamster)
The latest trailer for the “Undead Nightmare” downloadable content for “Red Dead Redemption” is out. I still have not heard when it will be released, but this video clip really has me excited.
There is a brief clip of that damned undead bear(I really hate bears), but I’m willing to let it slide so long as I can put a bullet into the rotting brains of undead settlers and pioneers.
I mentioned before I live in Utah… This state is somewhat obsessed about pioneers and who’s ancestor is a pioneer. I’m fairly sick of the subject so in addition to killing every stupid bear I can find I’m going to take a perverse joy in shooting pioneers and putting them out of MY misery.
If I had been born back in the “Old West” I would have (sensibly) waited for the train.
Are you playing Zombie Farm? Well the new version 0.79.2 of Zombie Farm is available free to play. My wife plays this all the time and my kids gather around when she invades some hapless farmer who inevitably gets brutally slain (In a cute cartoony sort of way) We all giggle when they die… I love my family.
The idea of raising zombie/plant mutants and having them do your bidding is highly appealing.
Damnit! Why can’t I do that in real life. Reality sucks.

Zombie Farm is available for iPhone, iPod, and iPad… that’s a lot of “i’s”
She’s concerned about it?! He’s concerned about. We’re all concerned about it. Don’t lie and say you wouldn’t be either.
(Sigh) I am so immature. I find the whole subject of zombie dating and the various “problems” that could come up to be endlessly amusing. And therefore the perfect subject for a comic.
I am terrified of and therefore hate with a fiery hate… bears.
For years I have harbored a irrational fear of those fat furry demonic death machines.
Sure you can say “But, Carter, the chances of you being killed, molested, and slowly devoured by a bear are astronomical!”
Whatever man, I didn’t say it makes sense. I’ve hated them for years and it’s not going to stop now. I don’t find them cute or adorable and could care less about their role in the environment…. I hates them soo much.
So the “Undead Nightmare” Downloadable Content for “Red Dead Redemption” that will feature the horrible monstrosity that is zombie bears is either going to scare the ever loving crap out of me…. or be highly cathartic as I spend all my time hunting these damned things down and putting them out of my misery.
Some details on these damn bears.
While the average “RDR” grizzly bear is listed at between 6 feet 5 inches and 8 feet tall, the zombear appears to stand up a bit straighter at between 7 feet 5 inches and 8 feet 5 inches on its hind legs. And while they both have long claws, the uninfected grizzly enjoys hanging out around bodies of water to feed on salmon, unlike the zombear who “feeds on the blood of the living.” Additionally, the zombear is “virtually unstoppable,” so pack some heat if you plan on taking him on.
Oh super these bears are going to be even bigger and meaner than a regular bear… Kinda like grandma after chugging a six pack of Redbull.
I’m excited I had no plans whatsoever to buy “Red Dead Redemption” until this came out. You see I’ve lived my whole life in Utah and I am usually less than excited about seeing more red dirt and sagebrush, even in a video game.
However you add zombies to it and suddenly I give a crap about cowboys again. It’s like they put chocolate in my peanut butter (and surprisingly that’s not a euphemism… this time)
No word on when the “Undead Nightmare Pack” is coming out, but if they want to capitalize on Halloween they better make it soon.
Click the pictures to “Embiggen” them.
Is it wrong that I think that that zombie… lets call her a “Saloon Girl” is pretty?
Attack of the smelly towns people… damned townies!
He hides in the shadows, because of his bad skin. It’s like me in Highschool all over again.
Shooting a zombie in the back… for shame.
This is how every family reunion for me ends up, only then the people chasing me have guns.
When I’m a zombie I pray that I will be able to glow in the dark. Like a lightbright, but with more stench… sweet sweet stench.
