Herd of Cats

These guys are going on Santa's naughty list

Who would have though that real pirates would ever have been an issue with video games and consoles?

Apparently Somali pirates are having a serious effect on international shipping. Real pirates on boats, not software pirates in case you haven't figured that out yet.

Continuing the trend on Zombie killing weaponry

Gameplayer Australia has a story on the The 10 Best Boomsticks Ever.

Sadly no Zombie games on the list but still a good list of Xbox 360 games, including several that we play.

This may be remotely (very remotely) based on a true event. That may or may not have actually happened. And it wouldn't have happened last night. While playing Call of Duty: World at War. On Xbox live. Not happened that is...

...and they may have all died.

Who really knows.

Since I have told you many of my success stories
Here is one of my failures

Walking through Confederation Park (Elgin & Laurier).
And I see this girl pushing a stroller.
Now, in my books she was a about a 7 the fact the she has a kid lowers that a bit.

Regardless here is the conversation

Me: Hey what a cute little girl you have there
Her: It's a boy not a girl (I knew this I just wanted to start the conversation)
Me: well you know at that age you can't really tell unless your changing them
Her: Laughs, do you have any kids.
Me: No, are you going to have any more kids? Read more

Of course, this would mean no more stupid fanny pack

Yes, technically its a shoulder holster for your iPhone. And other PDAs and cell phones as well I guess.

Its no fanny pack but then again, thank god its no fanny pack.

The fashionable e-Volve™ Gadget Shoulder Holster is a new "carry all" shoulder holster that allows you to get all of your personal electronic gadgets off your belt, out of your pockets and into a comfortable shoulder holster.

The e-Volve Gadget Shoulder Holster is designed to "evolve" and adapt to the reality of constant state of change in personal electronics by enabling you to wear your present and future gadgets. This evolutionary capability is achieved by a simple, but functional design of this ergonomic shoulder holster.

It's possible, when we get overrun, that survival may depend on being able to move through the infected horde undetected. Let's face it, zombies aren't bright. Even so, precautions must be taken.

Fortunately, I found this site that goes into great detail on how to look like a real zombie without actually being one.

The only drawback I can see with this is that it may heighten our already natural tendencies to shoot each other instead of the horde ....

If you're going to kill Zombies you need the right gear

Sticking with the Corpsorz poll theme of preferred weapons...

Zombie Tools: Accessories for the Apocalypse is the place to get Zombie killing blades.

You have to love a place with a slogan like "Can't save the world? Then prepare for its end."

And I may get flamed here (just remember I know Kung Fu, Karate and other dangerous words).

WTF, is it with you guys and your obsession with zombies?

It still seems like a lot of tun

Technically no zombies, but still.

In a related and sad note, madtv was just canceled. Now it's just SNL.....sad indeed.

For those of you who just can't get enough zombie killing, killthezombies.com has a bunch of mindless (heh) games for you to pass the time of day with.

Because you can never kill enough zombies ...

And I'm totally okay with that

Yes as reported all across the web Call of Duty World at War has an unlockable Nazi Zombie Horde mode. Just finish the single player game to unlock this mode.

Here is a link at Digital Something and if you want some video check out Geeks of Doom.

The folks over at CafePress, (you know, the home of HoCP merchandise that never gets updated because a certain zombie admin who shall remain nameless seems to have lost his creative skills along with his braiiiinnnnss) have got the swag to ensure any good zombie hunter will be prepared when the apocalypse comes.

Doesn't stand for High Markup Value any more

Now I know that Call of Duty was a successful franchise but I was still surprised to see all the retailers taking advantage and using it as some kind if cash cow. I am used to $59.99 as the price of a new game. Expensive, but the Gaming Collective has broken me and I am used to it. Even Gears of War 2 came in at $59.99 and that is a game that would have easliy sold at a higher price. Activision's stock price must be doing poorly.

So when I went looking for pre-order/purchase deals I was annoyed to find Call of Duty World at War listed a $64.99 at Future Shop and Best Buy (psst! They're the same!)! Apparently Activision has no problem squeezing as much cash as possible out of their customers. So I called EBgames who told me quite clearly that while they had none in stock it would be $59.99. Woo-hoo! Screw you Best Buy, Future Shop.

Jumping right into the Zombie theme here is one for MoriceRevek.

Yes, we wouldn't want any segment of the population to be left without a pinup calendar.

Where beauty eats braaaaaiiiiins.

Just good to know that there is hope for MoriceRevek in the afterlife... kind of.

Only $19.99 plus shipping.
