Well... I have the lazy part down

This is a 12 minute Fan Film about Lazy Superheros Sidekicks. Apparently it cost $300 and is extremely well done.

At any rate, Lazy Teenage Superheroes is cool, clever, and exceedingly well-made. If I were a TV network executive, I'd call this kid. Or cry. Maybe both.

So we took those numbers, and brought them down to a daily average. Guess what? It turns out those numbers are even more mindboggling. Black Ops players turn out to be busy little bees. Together, they virtually clear the entire United States of America. Every single day.

There's been altogether too much zombie talk here lately, and I think it's time for a break.

Although it has been a while since we played Left 4 Dead...

Ascension!

From Gamer4Eva: Ascension Black Ops Zombie Map Gets New Weapons, Perks and Enemies

The new zombie map included in the upcoming First Strike map pack will include two new weapons and two new perks. Ascension is set in a abandoned Soviet cosmodrome and has you playing as one of the regular cast of characters (Takeo, Nikoli, Dempsey, and Rictoffen).

Okay, not cats, just cat. It seems that the U.S. has lost all faith in their judicial system with humans as jurors, that they are now calling in felines.

Would you put your life in the hands of a creature that has complete indifference to humans that are not directly responsible for their food?

Better yet, you could get a "Not Guilty" verdict by bringing in a few cat treats, or a miss-trial by letting a few mice out during the process.

It's made of iPads!

So while Blackwalt has been frantically trying to figure out how to make an impractical iPhone out of his iPad, these folks in London have gone and one-upped him. Well, 56-upped him, in fact.

it was my favorite time of year...

So I am not exactly sure what happened this Christmas. I know I was low on rye going in - only half a 60 oz of Forty Creek left. I came out of Christmas with a rich bounty of rye – all sorts of rye.

• 40 oz of Forty Creek (with two embossed glasses)
• 40 oz of Canadian Club(with four! embossed glasses)
• 60 oz of Crown Royal

This is good on so many levels. Now I can no longer be accused of always drinking the same thing. With such a spectrum of ryes available I can have a different drink every night! And I probably will.

Available first on Xbox 360

Arriving February 1st in a timed exclusive for Xbox 360. That must have cost Microsoft some serious cash.

First Strike Multiplayer Preview Video

The battle for democracy rages on with Call of Duty®: Black Ops First Strike, offering four new heart-pounding multiplayer maps and a brand new zombie stage. Online Director Dan Bunting and Community Manager Josh Olin walk you through Kowloon, Discovery, Berlin Wall, and Stadium. First Strike hits Xbox LIVE® on February 1st, with more details coming soon for PC and PS3.

Seriously, did anyone even read anything other than "and a brand new zombie stage?"

In the non-virtual world

Vaguely connected to Left 4 Dead.

So how easy is it for someone with little experience with firearms to actually pick up a gun and start shooting zombies in the head? The guys from RoosterTeeth have decided to try it out. Here’s the result.

Which reminds me, we should play more Left 4 Dead 2 sometime. Like on a scheduled gaming night. Wow, doesn't a scheduled weekly gaming night sound like such a good idea?
