Japan: Zombie Horror Park


Over on pink tentacle:

The Saikyō Senritsu Meikyū (”Ultimate Horror Maze”) — a 900-meter-long zombie-infested labyrinth at Japan’s Fuji-Q Highland amusement park — is billed as the world’s longest and scariest house of horror.

However, at a “press conference” staged last month, organizers announced they had temporarily shut down the facility because the zombie staff had lost their edge and were not frightening people enough. While the haunted house was closed, the undead employees were put through a rigorous training program designed to upgrade their zombie skills.

Shooting Zombies in the Face

We bought "Left 4 Dead" for XBOX 360 a while ago but I haven't had the opportunity to review it here yet. Ummm. It fucking rules! I have never considered myself a 1st person shooter fan but with the introduction to this game, I'm totally sold. The controls are instinctive and to the delight of M, you can crouch and walk at the same time. I usually play as the female character, Zoe who, for once is a fully clothed, fully capable woman in a video game. I haven't ever used the online player co-op mode of any game until we picked up this beauty. J and I play side by side and team up online with one of his coworkers. Our headsets insure that all our teammates can hear us browbeat those damn dirty zombies as we shoot them in the face. The graphics are great, the gameplay is seamless, it even shows stats at each chapter to heighten the competition. J usually dies the most and I usually take the most damage. I look forward to playing this game all day. It's something that helps me take out the aggression of work. Although if I play too close to bedtime I have zombie dreams. Really, what more could you ask for?As far as I'm concened, this game helps us prepare for the coming apocalypse.
