Zombie Ants are the Walking Dead!!!!!!!!!

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa long time no blog!!!! Sorry guys! I've been busy with some things and yet again been feeling under the weather. I'm feeling pretty good right now so that's all that matters. I've never gone this long (17 days haha) without blogging something.

~There's oh so much to talk about~

Dead Rising 2

I've talked a lot about this game in the past and I was highly anticipating the games release at the end of August. Wellllllllllllll apparently I was completely uninformed that the game was pushed back one more month. Instead of it being released August 31st, it was going to be released on September 28th. BUT, on August 31st they had released a downloadable content called DEAD RISING 2 CASE ZERO for the Xbox 360 (don't know about PS3). This was pretty bad ass. It's not just a demo, it's a full blown game that parts with the actual game that comes out in a few weeks. I was in zombie destroying heaven. The cool thing is, you can create weapons. I took a bat and some nails and made like a Hellraiser Pinhead bat. There's also circular saws that you can throw that can take out a few zombies depending where you throw it. I also got my hands on a drill bit. YES! A fucking drill bit! Unfortunately I didn't fully play the game. I played about 5 minutes of it before I had to go cater to some friends who kept begging me to jump on Call of Duty.

Now just like any popular franchise game that comes out, there's always going to be a special edition or collectors edition with awesome cool accessories that I'm probably never going to need but it's cool to have them anyway kind of thing. Well Dead Rising 2 has 3 different collectors edition sets but only 2 are worth talking about.

Zombrex Collectors Edition

The Zombrex Collectors Set Comes With:

• Exclusive Two-Disc Steelbook case includes:
  • Dead Rising 2 game disc

  HIGH STAKES EDITION
  
  
  
  
  
  • Dead Rising® 2 for your PS3 or Xbox 360
  
  
  • Custom Fortune City Poker Set including:
    • Custom matte black Fortune City Poker Case

    costume and skills set
  • One Dead Rising® 2 High Stakes Edition includes a special "golden" ticket redeemable for Burt The Zombie - a 6’ OxMox zombie replica!!

  I ordered both box sets because I'm a fool and I need cool things like poker chip sets and syringe pens. I'll eventually sell one of my Xbox 360 games to someone without all the cool things that come with it.

  The Earliest Evidence of Zombies

  By Rebecca L. Brown

  Evidence of ‘zombie ants’ dating back forty eight million years has been identified from the Rhine Rift Valley, Germany. The evidence, a series of cuts on fossilised leaves which were recently uncovered by researchers, match those made by modern carpenter ants infected with the fungus Ophiocordyceps Unilateralis. This parasitic fungus enters the ants as spores and then alters their behaviour to further it’s own spread and growth before killing off the host and producing more spores. Infected ants bite into the undersides of leaves in specific locations, a behaviour which does not seem to occur in uninfected ants.

  This Halloween is going to be a very very good one. I was recently informed by a friend that there's going to be a Walking Dead television series. Honestly being the horror fan that I am, I was kind of unfamiliar with the whole Walking Dead comics/books/graphic novels (whatever you want to refer to them as).

  
  

  Then I saw this

  
  

  
  

  As soon as I saw that, I ordered this

  
  

  The Walking Dead: Book One

  and

  The Walking Dead: Book Two

  
  

  
  

  Book One has the first 12 issues, and Book Two has 13-24. I'll eventually order the others but of course, I'll start off with these.

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  
  

  Well that's it for now guys.
