I wasn't going to post about this....

....I was going to finish a new, relatively comedic Bronze Age Sky God story. But I can't hold back any longer.

Tired of computer games that take up gigabyte upon gigabyte of memory?
Sick of any hobby that seems to demand hours and hours of obsessive-compulsive behavior?
Like Zombies, fleeing from or emulating?

Then check out UrbanDead.
You're in a big city, you move by clicking and have x amount of action points to spend running, hiding, fighting and looting (Survivors) or roaming, moaning, eating brains and breaking down civilization (Zombies). Bing, bang, boom.

Making a character takes literally 15 seconds. You play within the browser and since you get action points back by not playing (i.e. your guy rests), it actually discourages the usual obesessive-compulsive wasting of time that your average video game encourages. If you use up all your points, your guy falls asleep where he is (doing this in an unlocked building or out in the street is, of course, asking for it).

Set yourself a long-term goal (I'm trying to get to Giddings Mall to help keep it a haven for humans!) then voila, something you can have lots of fun with - yet it takes all the time of a daily email check.

It's fun, gosh darn it!

Plus, with less than two weeks until I take part in London's first Zombie invasion - I guess I'm just in that kind of a mood! If you join, keep an eye out for Max Punchbody (Scout - the closest thing to a Parkour athlete), currently in the northern most part of Starlington.
