Herd of Cats

So, it's a movie now. With a trailer and everything.

And it's a Crackle exclusive which means I now have to figure out whatever Crackle is...

Characters again? Do you even have a plan?

Hermann Wolff

Wehrmacht Captain

Alert, wary. Doting husband and father.

Little patience for politics with its attendant egos and back-stabbing corruption. Never believed in Hitler’s message but followed orders for the sake of protecting his family.

Sorry SeanMCR, couldn't hear you over my gleeful giggling, I call dibs on Rose McGowan

Rose is no Buffy but still...

Yes, back to weapons again

The Pistols of Zombie Army Trilogy:

M1911



This American pistol deals a lot of damage with its powerful .45 cal bullets. However, these are hard to come by in the field, and it has a slightly lower firing rate than the Luger.

Announced for April 28, 2015

State of Decay: Year One Survival Edition will include the original game and both DLCs all prettied up to 1080p for the Xbox One. Will sell for $29.99.

State of Decay was one of the gaming highlights of 2013 (and much of 2014). A persistent, open-world zombie survival game, with base-building, resource management, and perma-death? Heck yes! It was unique and addictive – the kind of game that is different for every player, yet with a cohesive, universal feeling and message.

Anya Bochkareva

Amateur Sharpshooter

Patient, deliberate and patriotic.

Gave up rifle sports and her university studies to serve in the military when Germany invaded the Soviet Union. Rapidly established herself as one of the most formidable snipers in the Red Army.

What the... characters again? What happened to weapons? Make up your damn mind!

Boris Medvedev

Red Army Veteran

Stoic, practical and no-nonsense. Fiercely loyal to the deserving.

Narrowly avoided charges of insubordination on a number of occasions. He has witnessed and survived far worse than the horrors of the zombie apocalypse.

Watch Dogs got a lot of flack for not living up to its own hype. Most of the reviews commented on all that was promised compared to what was received. Very similar to how Destiny was received.

Totally ignoring the fact that the published Watch Dogs is a massively entertaining open world game. Having no preconceptions about this game I was amazed at the size of it, the sheer amount of activities, the number of collectibles, and the massive amount of time I played before I even started the campaign. Having played it for over three weeks I am just now starting chapter 3 (of 5).

Taking a break from the Characters of Zombie Army Trilogy to look at what is really important

The Submachine Guns of Zombie Army Trilogy:

Blyskawica



With a high damage output and considerably lower accuracy at range, the Polish Blyskawica is a great close combat weapon.

Including the original game and previously released DLC

An HoC recommended Xbox One game now being released with the save Churchill DLC, six weapons packs and six additional multiplayer maps.

If you were thinking of picking up Sniper Elite 3 you should wait until March 10th, 2015 and pick up everything in one package. My copy of Sniper Elite 3 is on the Xbox 360, I had not been thinking of upgrading to an Xbox One version until now.

Marie Chevalier

Resistance Fighter

Independent and single-minded. Dreams of owning a vineyard.

Executed key sabotage missions to facilitate the Allies’ advance through France following the invasion of Normandy. Then travelled alone to Berlin on a personal mission to assassinate Hitler himself.

It qualifies for all the usual Aku warnings just by being Saints Row

Dr. Efram Schweiger

Academic Researcher

Former pacifist and sceptic. Would rather be in a library.

Avoided conscription by assisting the Nazis research their favourite obsession: the occult. Inadvertently, he assisted in bringing about the apocalypse. He is no longer a pacifist. Or a sceptic.

SeanMCR unwillingly helped me to get a difficult achievement

In less than one minute.

For SeanMCR however... well, he had been working towards it for a while. He didn't rage quit or anything but he certainly wasn't happy.

Beth Coleman

Portrait Painter

A keen eye and a steady hand. An artist with a gun.

Exchanged brushes and canvas for guns and bullets when subjects stopped sitting politely and started attacking her. No previous combat experience but quickly discovered a talent for dispatching the undead.
