Games: Free Copies of Metro 2033

At the moment THQ are running a free giveaway of the apocalyptic  horror game  Metro: 2033. It's based on the novel of the same name by Dmitry Glukhovsky. Set in a future where nuclear war has forced humans to live underground, it tells the tale of survivors in Moscow who live in the underground metro away from the animals and humans on the surface who have mutated into monstrous forms.

To get the game you have to head to THQs Facebook page to see the promotion! Stocks are "limited" so hurry hurry hurry!

However, if you don't mange to get a copy from there, there is also the THQ Humble Bundle, from which you can also get Metro 2033 and 5 other games for $1! The other games aren't really horror, though I suppose Red Faction: Armageddon has aliens, and in Darksiders you play as one of the Horsemen of the Apocalypse! That promotion ends in 26 hours.

Places: Sixteen Fortresses for Staving Off the Zombie Apocalypse (via realtor.com)

This seems like a conflict of interests, but he does have a point!

With many predictions for the end of the world and zombies and such things, which probably will won't happen, there are two types of people: those that have houses that are capable of stopping the onslaught of the undead, and those that feed the ravaging horde. As this is an important part of any home buying decision for those still sane in this pre-apocalyptic world, the website realtor.com has put together a list of the properties they think would best stand up to the oncoming hordes of braineating zombie persons:

"This particular writer never quite completed the necessary steps to earn his ‘Zombie Apocalypse’ merit badge, nor has he any crossbow-wielding, animal-skinning, shelter-building survival qualities to get him out of a pinch, let alone the jaws of the zombie formerly known as grandma for that matter. However, what I can offer is my expertise in real estate – prime, zombie-defense real estate capable of putting those with an unquenchable thirst for human flesh at a distance from you and your family."

This may look kind of nice...but...

The easily defensible properties range in price from the relatively cheap Birch island for $550,000 or a "missile proof" house for $695,000 to the rather expensive, $99m "castle"!

Videos: Slingshots vs. the Undead

Vampire Hunter Slingshot

What is your weapon of choice in the event of a zombie attack? The traditional shotgun? Genetically modified plants? Your own severed arm? Well, if you happen to be Joerg Sprave there's only one choice...A SLINGSHOT! Sprave's hobby is making and testing slingshots and he makes an array of videos on the subject for his YouTube channel, with help from his wife (and the occasional zombie). 

In addition to his serious testing videos, Sprave occasionally makes more humorous creations too such as the Guillotine and Zombie Brain Smashing slingshots (for zombies) and a vampire hunting stake slingshot.
