Art. They say you can make it from anything, the limit is only our imagination.
Zombie Apocafest 2008 is a sculpture about the forthcoming… well, you should know by now.
Did I mention, it’s done completely in lego?
Awesome
Well, we survived hurricane Ike down here, which is a good thing. Another good thing it did, was illustrate how dumb and panicky and unorganized some people are.
The hurricane was coming for days. Now, most people, you’d think, would do the smart thing and stock up on everything before it came, and then they’d be set for the time after is passed until things returned to normal, and yes, lots of people did this.
However, lots of people did not.
After it passed, and there was no power anywhere, and traffic signals, etc were all down, apparently then, and only then, people realized “Oh, crap, I don’t have any gas”, but unfortunately, all the stations had no power, and couldn’t pump any. This lead to HUUUUGE lines for gas at any open station, until it sold out (quickly).
I even heard of someone getting stabbed somewhere in the city over a spot-in-the-gas-line arguement.
Apparently, grocery stores with power were also getting completely slammed, and shelves were picked bare of all instantly edible foods.
Meanwhile, I was sitting in my living room, with enough candles to last me a few years, eating canned food, which I had enough of to last a few years, watching TV running on a generator, for which I had 50 gallons of gas stored prior to the hurricane.
Seriously though people, my point is: Pre-planning is key, for ANYTHING. Do it NOW, before it’s too late. If you’re waiting in line for gas on Z-day, guess what. You’re zombie food.
Thought I’d share a link with you all. Apparently there’s a big giant Bucket-o-food for sale for $75 that contains 275, yes, two hundred and seventy five, full meals.
I mean… doesn’t it just look delicious?
Do I even need to say why this is relevant? I hope not.
Ok. First off, this has nothing to do with Zombies. Sorry.
So, I got Spore yesterday, when it was released.
Awesome
I like it very much. I’ve already reached the space age with my first creature creation, but I want to re-do it again, choosing a different path to get there. There’s 3 different paths you can take in every ‘Age’ up to the Space Age, and you can do even more there, so there’s tons of replay value there.
Anyways, if you care to see my Spore Creations:
I figured I would try to start a quick Tip of the day, so I can throw in small random tips inbetween the larger posts. I’m going to TRY to post one every day, but most likely that won’t happen, so it’ll actually be more like a few times a week.
Anyways, Today’s tip:
When battling zombies, of course, the plan is to keep them as far from you as possible at all times. If you let them get close and grab you, you have a high chance of not surviving the encounter. However, with some simple training, you can increase your chances exponentially in close combat. To that end, here’s a quick tip on how to escape if a zombie grabs you around the torso, in an attempt to bite you. Just imagine that the guy in the grey shirt is actually a half-decomposed, rotting zombie who is wrapping it’s arms around you in an attempt to bite you in the jugular.
There’s also a lot more escapes detailled in related videos. Take some time to review them. It could mean the difference between tossing off a zombie once it grabs you, or getting bitten.
