It must be hard to be Robert Kirkman, celebrated Zombie hater and comic auteur. I mean, sure, you have a enormously successful series of comics denigrating the Differently Animated, and your tv show based on said comics is almost sure to be a smash hit, bringing the gruesome anti-Zombie violence to the small(er) screen in [...]

Attempting to bridge the divide between the Living and the Differently Animated can be a tough job; thankfully, the ZRC isn’t the only organization out there trying to make this positive difference. For you see, today, 10/10/10, is ‘World Zombie Day‘, the third annual incarnation of a sort of mass Zombie Cultural Event. On World [...]

Just putting a quick post here to say that we have reordered the wristbands, but there’s a bit of a backlog, so we’re hearing November sometime before we get them. Ouch. We’ve made a minor change to the design, and obviously we’ll update the store page’s graphics when we have a sample. Basically, we’ve taken [...]

I know we’d mentioned the ‘Zombies Forever’ prints we had produced for conventions this summer, and some of you out there may have been wondering when they would be available for sale online. Well, the answer is: Now. Before we could sell them on the internet, we had to arrange for packaging supplies, figure out [...]

I always feel good when the ZRC can engage in frank and productive discussion with a prominent media figure over the issue of Zombie Rights, and so I was delighted to see that our open letter to Stephen Notley got a response from the man himself; after some careful thought I have posted my own [...]

In the midst of reviewing so many Anti-Zombie Xbox games this news slipped past me for a brief time, but it’s worth mentioning as a *possible* glimmer of light in the current generation of console games. Summing up: Konami is publishing/co-developing a console shooter (PS3 and Xbox 360) called “Neverdead” which features an Undead, possibly [...]

Sadly, not a game about the travails of an Undead police sniper, working hard to prevent tragedy in various hostage situations. Sadly. Zombie Sniper 3D is, well, a game, about sniping Zombies, in 3D. A very frustrating, boring game about sniping Zombies in 3D. Here’s what a gameplay session of Zombie Sniper 3D is like: [...]

(or Colours for our friends across the Pond) Just a quick update to reiterate the Zombie Rights Campaign’s commitment to support of all Zombies, no matter their skin color, pre or post-Zombification. Here at the ZRC we’re there for all of the Differently Animated, from Voodoo Zombies to Zombies reanimated by space radiation, from Grey-skinned [...]

It is as strange as the title suggests. First, a bit of housekeeping: posting will be light for a few days as I recover from an apocalyptically nasty stomach bug. Right now I can’t move around too much, and can barely be bothered to type, this review is all I feel up to today. Hopefully [...]

Picked up this little, ahem, gem from the Xbox marketplace today. Apparently it’s quite a bit older, but for some reason I guess it’s been doing well in the downloads, as if I recall correctly I found it by randomly browsing the Most Downloaded tab in the Indie games section. What to say about the [...]
