Happy New Year!!!

Happy new year! 2012 has finally come, which means absolutely nothing really! I’m not sure why people make a big day out of it to be honest. I mean, the only significant aspect of the “Holiday” is switching out calendars, and trying to remember the new date when signing checks. Other than that, there’s absolutely nothing special about the day.

Well, except this year of course. Since, apparently, this is the final year mankind will exist! It’s the end of the world, and we’re all going to die, and this time, it’s true! All the other doomsdays? Those were just practice runs! Clearly, this is it ladies and gentleman! Why? It was predicted, that’s why!

I of course am being sarcastic. I do not think the world will end. Not this year anyway.

However, many people will tell you that it is. Of course, there is a good chance these people could be paranoid, and/or crazy.

Remember, this isn’t the first time people have cried doomsday. In fact, it just recently happened with the Rapture. It seems like it happens every year as a matter of fact. Most famously with the Y2K scare.

Anyway, the whole point of this post was to wish you a happy new year, if you celebrate it. So, Happy new year!

Zombie blastin’ goodness

Valve is releasing what i believe to be one spiffy game! The game is called Left 4 Dead and it does involve zombies. As an added bonus, these aren’t your slow moving zombies…heck no! These are the Super-fast-moving-zombies-that-travel-in-giant groups kinda zombies…….but with a twist! See? The zombies are changing. Some are getting abilities…Everything from sploding goop onto people and attracting masses of zombies..To throwing out a long grabber thing and wrapping around the prey and dragging you to it….and if you’re the unfortunate survivor that falls prey to one of these “Super-Zombies” then you are going to need the help of your fellow survivors t get free…Did I mention this was an on-line Co-op game?

Yep! You go online, and help your fellow survivors escape the city. You play one of 4 characters, and blast a trail through brain-eating zombies until you get to a safe spot…then, you rest up, gear up and move on. your survivor buddies will rely on your bullets, and your aid in patching them up, just as you will rely on them. After all, its a “Help or be eatin'” world out there now!

Not a fan of playing with others? Dont like going online? No worries, yo can alway play offline in solo mode with computer controlled allies. This in some ways is more efficient yet in other ways its more hassle..Solo mode you don’t have your allies running off ahead leaving you to get pulled to your death by a zombie group, and if something goes screwy…well, you only have yourself to blame….on the down side, the NPCs aren’t very bright, and in many cases you will be doing most of the intelligent stuff. Sometimes its easier haing quick thinking pawns…errr..people doing the hard stuff while you stand back and…erm…guard the back position.

The demo was released both on PC [STEAM] as well as XBOX Live, since it’s going to be released for BOTH the Xbox360 and the PC as well, so whichever is your gaming platform of choice, you can get it. I personally have yet to decide which gaming platform im going to go with. On the Xbox 360 its obviously going to run just as smooth on your system, as it does someone elses…HOWEVER on the PC, there likely going to be MODs and expansions. (Kinda like the zombie mod that was released for halflife 2…god, i wish that was available as down loadable content on the Xbox live service!)….The choices, the choices….

2012: The end of the world

Where will you be, and what will you be doing when the world comes to an end in the year 2012? Yea, according to those zany mayans, we are gonna be non-existant come the year 2012! It’s true! We know this because that’s when their calendar ends! That’s right, so, their calendar ends, and of course the only LOGICAL reason would be the end of the world.

It would be silly illogical to assume that they ended their calendar there cause they were pretty sure come that time they would need a new higher fashion calendar, or that they might just have had a plan on moving to a beach house condo come 2012…Nope, has to be the end of the world. That’s logic for ya people.

So, what are you gonna be doing? I’ll tell you what I will be doing! I’ll either be ordering a pizza, watching TV, spending time with my bubby or playing a random MMORPG. Cause I am sure there will be a pretty spiffy one out in 5 years time.

So, how’s the world gonna end? Well, im betting some form of Zombie creating plague will strike the populace of the world, and Zombieitis will spread across the globe, and we will either become a Zombie, or have our brains eaten….Although im curious what happens when the zombies run out of brains…
