Zombie Yahtzee?

When a world is over saturated with zombie stuff what do you do? Well you embrace it and play as many zombie themed games as possible. This time around it is Zombie Dice!

 Zombie Dice is a Steve Jackson Game and that makes it a potential winner right there. For those few outside the know, Steve Jackson Games gave us the Munchkin series of card games and those are fantastic! I had no worries when I grabbed this game. If you made Munckin, then your other games should be good too. Right?

If you couldn’t guess this is a dice based game, and it is for 2 or more people. The object is to randomly roll dice and achieve a score of 13. The hook? Well you see every player is a brain starved zombie. The dice represent humans and their sweet spicy brains. Each dice has an amount of brain symbols. When those are rolled you have devoured another hapless victim and filled your rotting body with sustenance.  

See it is that simple.

Well this also happened last week

New Privateer stuff!



Every damn time I see this all I see and hear is "THUNDER MACHINE!"
Great looking vehicle and an even better name!
For so unknown reason...I really want one of these.

An armored elf with a big nasty sword and fancy armor.
Meh! Poncy elves!

Just need two items....

....a PS4 and a plethora of uninterrupted hours. 

Fallout 4 is on the horizon! Damn it! That means I want to play Fallout 3 again and then grab a new system. I wasn't looking forward to getting a PS4. Well until now.

Damn!

Weekly Schlock and Awesome!

There is Dr. Frankenstein, Dr. Herbert West, Dr. Moreau, Dr. Hans Zarkov, Dr. Samuel Loomis, Dr. Zaius, Dr. Clayton Forrester and now……….

Well this was going to happen sooner or later it was going to happen. I decided to revisit Dr. Giggles.

Say it with me children….Dr. Giggles.

I did see this a millennium ago and barley remembered anything save the major plot point; this movie has a kill crazy giggling doctor in it.

Evan Rendell Jr. is the son of a small town, Moorehigh, doctor and his loving wife. Now after mom/wife dies then Dr. Rendell Sr. goes nuts and starts killing townsfolk. Dr.Rendell is stopped and Evan Jr. is eventually found (in a fantastic flashback reveal) and thrown in the looney bind for life. Eventually, Evan Jr. escapes and returns to Moorehigh to his family home. Here he picks up his father’s work. He starts killing his way through the town medically and surgically.

THAT IS NOT HOW THE OTOSCOPE WORKS!

Westeros, I have picked a side

Who should sit here?

When Game o’ Thrones started on the HBO I was hooked almost instantly. I found myself backing the Starks, mostly due to Sean Bean, when it came to the turmoil in Westeros. Well that didn’t last, due to the fact that the Starks didn’t last.

So much potential.....

I was then thrown into a spiral of just not siding with any one person or group. I mean was I supposed to root for the despicable incest family, the creep-o running the whore house, the jerk who has a crazy ginger telling him what to do, the weirdoes who hunt and skin people, the men in black who live at a wall, the lady and her non-pet dragons and army of eunuchs, the non-arabs, the crazy lady and her breast feeding son, the little girl out for revenge, a bunch of frozen wasteland Vikings, the crippled animal psychic and his mentally challenged human mount (or Game o’ Thrones Master Blaster)? There really isn’t a group I truly care about anymore.

Sure I should have chosen the dragon lady, but since her horse Klingon husband died, she isn’t nearly as cool. Plus her dragons are drek. She has the version of the nuclear option in this world and cannot use or control it. I keep wanting some awesome dragon stuff to occur and it rarely ever does. The dragon stuff has become too much of a tease and it will remain that way for gods know how long. I mean if they could just fly over with three dragons and burn all the a-holes to cinders, then what would be the point right? Well besides ending all this quibbling and having a definitive winner and end. I know how shallow and pedantic.

 

This is in my wheelhouse, but nothing good has come from it.

Well, all this has changed thanks to the episode from Sunday night, Hardhome. This was your typical episode until the last 15-20 minutes. This is where I finally chose my side.

NO! JUST NO!

Well Hollywood which gives me so much enjoyment and so much pain is at it again. This time they are messing with a film that is one of my all time favorites.

Big trouble in Little China.

Why? Just why does anyone think this needs a reboot? Why?

Even better...why does anyone think the Rock should be or could be Jack Burton?

IN NO WORLD DOES ONE EQUAL THE OTHER!

Horrible news here

More horrible news here

Blood in the Forrest review**

**originally written last year after our Gencon order was received. Forgot to post this back then. Ooops!

We finally broke open the next expansion for the series of Last Night on Earth games. This is Blood in the Forrest and it is an add on to the Timber Peak expansion/stand alone.

Now the Flying Frog people have done a bang up job when it comes to zombie survival horror board games. I have them all and enjoy the hell out of them!

Timber Peak is a bit of a sequel to the Last Night on Earth game and the Growing Hunger, and Survival of the Fittest  add-ons. It added an experience and upgrade element for the survivors and zombie hordes. Other than that it stayed the same game. Now, Blood in the Forrest continues all the same gameplay mechanics and adds more stuff.

More stuff? Like what?
