Ever find yourself bored while camping out in your safe room eating nothing but Spam and water that's been filtered through a sock? Have internet? Of course you do or you wouldn't be reading this post!
We came across a few websites full of zombie related material that we wanted to share with you.
Zombie Games! A pretty awesome website when you want to kill some time and kill zombies all at once. We think we may have wasted away a few hours trying to figure out the geometry for Flaming Zombooka which is currently on the front page.
Zombie Games is mostly set up for flash games however you can also vote on some T-shirt designs and buy a few things from their store including an inflatable whack-a-zombie (The people who own these are "awesome" and the toy is what we refer to as "target practice").
The T-shirts are a bit mediocre and only revolve around the zombie characters created for the website itself. You also should register because then if you want to buy one of their shirts you get 10% off and you are automatically entered into all of the flash contests which we assume the only prize for is being able to post "ohshatIwon!" without looking like too much of a douche (but you still look like a douche). Then again, we could be wrong. Maybe the prize is more sock filtered water. You can never have too much sock filtered water!
The site essentially has all of the same games as Kongregate and Newgrounds but Zombie Games just puts all of the zombie related games under one domain name and we think that is awesome.
Undead Games.com We came across this one mostly because the Rogue thought their site logo was pretty cool. This website is full of everything zombie game related: zombie news, discussion boards, downloadable content, the works. Honestly, this should have been at the top of the page just because it has everything. Pretty awesome if we don't say so ourselves.
Zombie Books.com Last, and not least (and also has a kick-ass site logo). Zombie Books houses a rather short list of zombie related reading material however, in all reality, how much of the zombie related books out there are actually good? With that said, Zombie Books also has a page dedicated to book reviews as well as a bookstore. All of which are located at the top of the website.
Pretty awesome, huh?

As of 2PM today, the Raccoon will be at the hotel awaiting tomorrow morning where he will be shipped to Texas for basic training. His training will last eight weeks and then he'll immediately be thrown into tech school. He's hoping to be stationed in either Germany or Italy.
He has been a very dear person to me for quite some time and it was hard saying "goodbye" to him. In fact, I'm still crying about it even as I type this post. I never thought I would really have to say "goodbye", but I did. I kept hoping that maybe it was just something he wanted to do for a while and then realize he really wasn't interested and instead change his mind... but he didn't. And that was probably for the best.
If you know him, send him as many letters as possible because they're like opening Christmas presents while he's there. Jason Byas will be posting his mailing information via Facebook and if you want that info you can just e-mail me and I'll give it to you.
Good luck, Jake. Don't do anything purposely stupid and thanks for the Black & Mild.
Yes, kids. We're sorry to say this but there has been a death in the WeComePrepared family...
And by "death" we mean that this individual decided to be a complete jerk and is thus no longer with our team.
R.I.Pieces. Have fun being zombie meat!
The Ronin 2009-2010 In lighter news, The Raccoon will soon be departing for Basic Training. He's dedicating eight years to our US Air Force. Send him your best wishes and strongest regards. I'm sure he'll appreciate them.
New posts should be coming soon! Sorry for the delay.
In celebration of Halloween, we here at Team WeComePrepared would like to present you with the long and awaited Scenario Number 1! Send us your comments.
Quarantine is a movie about a television show host who is shadowing the fire department. While filming, the department receives a phone call and rush to aid an elderly woman who had reportedly screamed but no one could get into the room to see what had happened. This scenario is not to be confused with its counterpart REC- the Spanish film that Quarantine was a remake of. Though they are the same story, the origin of the zombies is not the same in both movies.
While reading up on some classic zombie material in your cozy little Spanish themed apartment, you hear the old lady upstairs scream followed by a loud thump. You find this disconcering and so do the rest of the people living in the complex. The building manager calls the authorities and a group of firefighters followed by a pretty girl and her camera man walk onto the scene. Upon breaking down the door they find the old woman- Miss Espinoza. To your astonishment she seems very pale, her eyes are clouded and red in color and she has a very sluggish walk. SHE IS A ZOMBIE!
Number 1: What is your enemy? INFECTED
In the beginning it is unclear but you are later given the hypothesis that each person is infected with a mutated species of Rabies.
a. Are they intelligent? Yes. They all have basic tool use and are capable of cornering and isolating you.
b. Where has it started and where is it spreading? The government has quarantined the building in order to maintain the mutated Rabies virus. As far as you know, it is isolated in your apartment complex and it started with that old lady.
c. Are there any known weaknesses? Blunt force trauma seems to do best against them. Bullets have virtually no effect on them as demonstrated by Miss Espinoza who has two clips shot into her and she's still moving. These zombies are also easy to recognize because their eyes are red.
Number 2: Where are you located? Apartment Complex
a. Note the advantages of each room. Each apartment has locks on the doors, there are wide open areas in the entrance, multiple levels which can be reached by stairs or an elevator and easy ways to isolate the zombie menace. The stairs can be defended and there is a sliding garage door which can be used to temporarily block them off and at least buy you some time.
b. Note the disadvantages of each room. You are limited in both space and supplies.
c. How can you defend the area? So long as you acted quickly, you could isolate all of the zombies in one part of the building. Depending on where you are isolating them determines how long that'll last.
d. Do you have sufficient supplies and rations? Absolutely not. You are limited to what was in your fridge at the time which can be anything from fully stocked to nothing at all. So long as your water supply wasn't cut off, you can just fast until the quarantine is taken off of the building but that'll only last so long and it will leave you weak against the zombies. You could raid other apartments for supplies but that leaves you open to the potential threats.
e. Do you have weapons? Yes. You have two police officers with a standard issue pistol and limited ammunition, a firefighter with a sledgehammer and there are probably other blunt objects around the complex including tools and emergency hatchets. The only weapon that would require any skill to use would be the guns.
f. If you were to leave to find a better base of operations, where would you go? Getting away is not possible. If you were to try and escape the building, the authorities would shoot you on sight- whether you were infected or not. There are snipers surveying all of the doors and windows and the building is wrapped in plastic to contain the virus.
Number 3: Who would you want in your party?
Since you're limited to the people in the building you will want to incorporate Fletcher and Jake, the two firefighters, James and Danny, the two police officers, and Lawrence the veterinarian. Just make sure they don't get too close to the zombies or you'll have to deal with them being infected later.
Number 4: Are communications down?
Yes. None of the phones work including cell phones and the electricity gets shut off.
Number 5: Where do you want to end up?
Well, it's obviously NOT safe in that apartment complex. You're best bet it to barricade yourself in your apartment with your allies and wait for help because the authorities aren't going to let you leave and probably aren't going to help you.
Pretty much, it all boils down to how quickly you act. There is decent breathing room and plenty of time for you to secure the area. So long as people listen to you precious advice, then you should be fine. You're limited to the people in the building so keeping track of the number of zombies shouldn't be too difficult. Just keep in mind that this is mutated rabies and can and does infect animals.... including the rats....
The Tactician suggested that you find a defendable area on the staircase, establish a barricade and plug off each zombie as they come at you. The Rogue suggested that you also position someone on the opposite side of the railing in order to create decent crossfire. Eventually you will be able to kill everyone who is not a zombie and possibly make a sign stating that you've killed everyone who was infected and MAYBE the authorities will allow someone into the building in order to survey it. But, of course, one of the rules of the zombiocalypse is not to depend on the authorities.
