Killin’ Zombies

I wanna kill me some zombies.

Really bad.

But I have a PS3.

Therefore, I can’t play such sweet shovel-into-cranium games as Dead Rising, Left 4 Dead, Stubbs the Zombie, etc.

I have even considered buying an Xbox360 to play those games. But I don’t want to buy a system with a failure rate so high I’m virtually guaranteed to have to mail it back to M$ and wait several weeks to get another POS back. People accuse me of being anti-Microsoft, and I have a hard time denying it. Especially since their console scratches disks so bad they have to be replaced, their flagship game ships too scratched to play, and their failure rate approaches that of an after school special about drug use.

So I’m really glad to hear this: Dead Rising 2: in development and multi-platform.

I know Sony’s screwing up the Playstation brand left and right and couldn’t market their way out of a wet paper bag, but I still have one and want to kill some damn zombies.

And a big thank you to everyone who called, texted, and emailed to make sure that I knew someone was hacking road signs to say “ZOMBIES AHEAD”. Zombies are ahead.

Just how far ahead is anyone’s guess.

Update: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies is almost enough to get me to read a Jane Austen novel.
