I was not a fan of ‘30 Days of Night‘ as a graphic novel. The story lurches around, especially toward the end, and Ben Templesmith‘s artwork should be the new dictionary definition for ‘murky’. Plus, it’s really unkind toward our allies in the larger Undead Solidarity movement, the Vampire community. We’re not talking ‘Twilight’ bad, [...]

Capcom’s been a very busy company, and so they farmed out the code monkey work on one of their latest big Living Supremacist ‘Resident Evil’ titles to a Canadian firm with experience making tactical shooters. Among the ‘exciting’ features previously revealed is the ability to use the Differently Animated as human shields. Delightful. Now USA [...]

I’ve seen ‘The Escapist’ described as thoughtful and intelligent commentary on the gaming scene, but from this latest post about the peaceful Zombie supporters’ rally responding to recent events in Leicester I have no idea how they earned such a sterling reputation: If there’s one thing zombies love more than delicious human brains, it’s the [...]

Sure, the way that noted Anti-Zombie merchants at Think Geek may have chosen to market this product is highly unethical, but the ZRC would be remiss if we failed to inform you that cuddly Zombie (and Vampire) plush toys are currently on a major sale: $17.99 (save 56%) On Sale $7.99 In stock I have [...]

The ZRC has had a long and productive relationship with actress Deneen Melody, and I think we’re even bringing ’3 Slices of Life’ director Anthony Sumner around with her help. So maybe she can get us a chance to educate another filmmaker with a dicey Anti-Zombie past: It’s one of the many challenges Gomez, of [...]

(the book in question) We wrote about the hateful and odious piece of Anti-Zombie propaganda directed at children from our nemeses at the ZRS before here on the ZRC blog: I’m sorry, but this is just heinous, intentional Anti-Zombie indoctrination of children. That’s absolutely unacceptable; teaching children to *hate*? To hate Zombies? Even their own [...]

We previously discussed indie Anti-Zombie ‘survival’ game ‘Project Zomboid’ here on the ZRC blog, and then it kind of fell off my radar. In our defense, this has been a very busy spring for Anti-Zombie gaming news, what with two Resident Evil titles, lots of Dead Rising news, Silent Hill and the like. Well, the [...]

We support charity fundraising here at the ZRC; quite often, actually. So even though the evil fearmongers and Anti-Zombie pushers at PopCap are our sworn enemies, we feel that we should lend a hand promoting their new charitable endeavour: Popcap Games—the team behind Plants vs Zombies, Bejeweled, and Peggle—is reaching into its big vault of [...]

We talked recently on the blog about the odd and stunningly hateful request under a Freedom of Information law for information how how Leicester would respond to a ‘zombie attack’. Given that, this was pleasant follow-up news: The story became a hit on social networking sites, and prompted Mr Dixon to organise Saturday’s event on [...]
