A webcomic by the name of “Treading Ground” has come out with a new shirt featuring the logo of a fictional Undead rock band, and I have to say, it’s kind of awesome. Here’s the description: Man, I saw these guys one time. Best show of my life. You haven’t lived until you’ve seen a [...]

Upcoming game Bulletstorm takes a decidedly sardonic view of the First Person Shooter genre, and seems determined to drag said games, kicking and screaming, back from the ultra-serious, grim, often ‘historical’ settings and tropes they’re situated in today. So as part of their advertising push they released a savagely hilarious and completely merciless parody of [...]

When you were a kid, if you were like me, you read some Choose Your Own Adventure Books.

In the midst of all this constant arguing and occasional banhammering, I missed out on an important milestone yesterday: it was George Romero’s birthday! Unfortunately, this annual event is typically celebrated with a healthy dose of Anti-Zombie rhetoric: Today the man who launched a thousand zombie films with his 1968 classic Night of the Living [...]

I was really saddened to hear about this story featuring an Anti-Zombie professor from my undergrad school, Indiana University: There is something keeping Stephen Watt up at night, and it’s not vampires, demons or malignant pudding, but rather a simple question: why is it that Americans love killing zombies? Watt, an English professor from Indiana [...]

I’m tired of putting horrendous graphics for despicably hateful shirts up on the blog, so for now just deal with a description and a link: Zombie Apocalypse t shirt is here! Which weapon will you choose when going on your Zombie Killing spree? The Zombie Killing League shirt is the perfect zombie shirt every zombie [...]

Is it just me, or did they run out of ideas on new Anti-Zombie movies to make a long time ago? I mean, Hollywood isn’t known for its originality to start with, but, geez: If you ever owned a Super Nintendo back in the day and never got a chance to play Zombies Ate My [...]
