Known only as Gus from Florida a US man has spent the past month “Tweeting” about fighting off hordes of undead zombies. He announced in December that, “Zombies are everywhere and this is my diary of the apocalypse.” Since then he has been updating his Twitter account @manvszombies to document his fight for survival against the army of the undead. Typical updates include details of zombie sightings and his hunt for food and other survivors.
God Speed, brave soldier. Our prayers for your continued survival go with you.
I absolutely love it when people do stuff like this and while I’m aware that he’s just doing this for fun I’m going to take this guys Twitters seriously and start saving up food and ammo.

I loved this movie, for me it hit perfectly on the funny/gory/weird meter. While I’m sure there are people out there who think 3D films are a gimmick, and to be fair they kinda are, if done well and not over the top stupidly, it can turn out really well….. That was a very long and poorly constructed sentence. I sense my long long dead English teacher is now spinning in her grave.
From Variety:
“Everyone had fun watching (the first) ‘Zombieland’; making it a more visceral experience can only make it better,” said the film’s producer Gavin Polone. “I don’t think you want to see ‘Ordinary People’ in 3-D. But ‘Zombieland’ is clearly one movie that will benefit from (the technique).”
Sony has closed deals with Polone and helmer Ruben Fleischer to return for a sequel to the original, which cost $24 million and has earned $85.2 million worldwide to date (“Zombieland” has only opened in a few territories overseas). The Culver City studio is currently in talks with stars Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg to reprise their roles as a pair of post-apocalyptic survivors. Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick are working on the sequel’s screenplay.
I assure you, they already have my money as I am desperate to learn more rules for survival in the coming zombpocalypse.
I stole this news from pr.com (I feel no guilt over that… what are they going to do? Beat me up? Fine… They want to be that way! Bring it on jerks. Just… not in the face okay. I’m too pretty and I bruise easily.)

Adelaide, Australia, November 22, 2009 –(PR.com)– Flash game developer, Binary Space releases “Zombie Outbreak Simulator” (ZOS), a sandbox application running on Google MapsⓇ. ZOS allows players to unleash waves of zombies on the unsuspecting people of Washington DC. Players can tweak a number of zombie and infection variables such as zombie speed, infection rate, number of civilians and shooting accuracy to create their own version of a zombie outbreak. Watch as up to 15,000 civilians are chased down, attacked and infected by hundreds or thousands of shambling (or terrifyingly fast) zombies over a 1km square area.
To be honest I didn’t really try to fiddle with the game I just laughed as the zombies tore through the people and infected everyone. Hilllllarious.
Yes I know, I’m a bad person.
