Humans vs. Zombies is a game spreading across America’s college campuses and is probably like, the only cool LARP game ever created. The object of the game depends on whether you’re a human or a zombie. The human’s goal is to survive, the zombies goal is to kill all of the humans.
The game starts with one original zombie. Zombies can’t be killed, but if shot by a nerf gun or hit with a thrown sock they will be stunned for 15 minutes and during that time can’t make any kills. If you’re tagged by a zombie simply wait one hour then become one yourself. The only way to get rid of the zombies is to starve them, zobmies starve and die if they go 48 hours without a kill.
Here’s a documentary about it, and I have to say it looks like a lot of fun:
…the Apple Macinstosh was unveiled to the world. Many people could have never expected the impact that it would have.
Looking back at that demonstration, can you believe that most of this capability is available on bargain basement cellphones? Scrolling text (people clap and cheer?), Paint (featuring possibly the first digital japorn), text editting and spreadsheets… The computer even talks in a creepy robot voice, which I’m sure made TheGeek get all hot & bothered; or maybe she’s just horny for redneck voices made by old celts.
Yes, this is what Steve Jobs launched almost a quarter of a decade ago. And now it’s great-great grandchildren - the ideas that were spawned by this great leap forward in technology - are everywhere. He’ll probably be declared a saint by the Catholic church one day, you know.
Anyway, my closing thought: Why do you think, when IBM sold its personal computer division to Lenovo, no one stopped to interview Steve Jobs? It seems like the man that had it in for IBM from the beginning would have had something to say.
Well, it’s been several years (like 9 already!) since the Techno Viking hit the Internet and I’d forgotten all about him until he was mentioned on a message forum.
Watching the video again two things come to mind…
How much meth is he on? Also, it would be really bad to be around when he starts to tweak.
He looks like he really wants to beat someone up and fuck them in the ass a la Broke Back Mountain
I like Kanye West. Yeah, that’s right. I think he raps well, I think he has good beats, and I think has what it takes to be successful – mainly, a huge fucking ego.
I don’t care what any of you think, so don’t even bother telling me.
Fuck The World.
