Writer's Block: The Undead

We do. Taken from mature

With Halloween on the horizon, burning questions about the undead need to be answered: Can being a zombie be considered suffering?

That depends on what zombies we're talking about.

If you mean the traditional Haitian zombie (created using a potion, made by the voodeedoo priests), then I would say yes. Those dudes and dudets suffer so hard! I've watched a few videos of those real life zombies. It looks unpleasant to experience, to say the least.

Now if we're talking about the traditional movie zombies (original Night of the Living Dead. I don't count those retarded Resident Evil, 28 Days Weeks Months Leap Years Later etc...) then no. They're dead. Maybe the zombie infected living suffer. I think they're still alive, just infected with the virus making them hunger for brains and flesh. That can't be cool.

Wow. That was a longer subject line than I'd thought it was going to be. Anyways, I've been playing this MMO called Urban Dead for some time now, and have found it to be fun, and more than a little amusing at times. The game is set in a town called Malton, that has been quarantined, and overrun by the zombie plague. The game is simple. Either you start out as a survivior being Military, Civilian, NecroTech Employee (science dudes), or you can cut rigt to the chase, and start out as a brain-eating zombie.

Like in any zombie flick, the best way to survive/eat people is to belong to a group/horde. I have both a zombie and a survivor character, and I can't really find a group or horde that I want to join up.

So I ask you, the LJ readers that I adore, if you would like to (if you don't already have an account) join Urban Dead (it's freeeeeee) and maybe start a group with me? Hmm?

Comment if you're interested? Maybe? I'll give you a dollar? If you create an account, comment here with your profile, and I'll add you to my contacts list.

Also, here are my respective profiles in the game:

For those who want to eat brains and rot, or be a human survivor who spies on other humans, and helps the zombies, I give you Mr Mumbles

For those who want to stomp the zombie menace out of existence, I give you Bullet Sponge

EDIT:

Not related to the above topic, but this a comic book that looks pretty promising.

The first part of "I'll See You In My Dreams", a Portugeuse short about a zombie hunter. This is definitely worth watching. However, this is NSFW.

Part two is here, also NSFW: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPh5dVOk_Bc&mode=related&search=

Thanksgiving was okay. I didn't spend it with my family, which is always a plus since I always feel terribly uneasy around all of them. I drove out to another part of Rhode Island with two Marines that I'm in charge of on weekends and holidays, and had Thanksgiving with a Sergeant that I work for. It was good times. Getting home was an adventure since it was a downpour the whole way. That, and I got lost because I had the bright idea of trying to find the local mall before we went home. After being lost for roughly an hour and a half, I found the right way home, and went to bed early again.

I woke up at 0530 because of a crazy dream I had about a bee landing on my eye. What kind of dream is that?! Who dreams about bees?! At least it was less intense than the dream I had the night before. In that dreams defense, it was about Ash from Evil Dead and Army of Darkness accidentally resurrecting a zombie overlord-type dealy in the basement of my old house.

Zombies are always cool. Cooler than ninjas, I would dare say. Hey! Someone should a movie about zombie ninjas! Or ninjas that fight zombies. Oh man....that would rock so hard.

But I digress from my rant about awesome undead ninjas and the like to continue my rant about my crappy morning. So I go to get a shower and no hot water. I still can't sleep, and I still have no idea what I should do with my day since anyone worth spending this day with is in another state or country.

Happy November 24th to me!
