Zombies Chasing falls flat

Zombies are certainly all the rage now, with popular TV shows, games, and movies coming out left and right. Zombies Chasing tries to jump on that trend, but the constant barrage of ads and requests to purchase more coins mar this otherwise fun game.

When you first open Zombies Chasing, you're greeted with the Main Menu, which gives you access to the Mission page. This is where you can check off various goals the game has set for you, such as Ran 260 meters, Collected 200 coins, and so on. There is also a Shop for purchasing more coins. … Read more

TV hackers announce dead are rising

The dead are so hot right now. Teen romance "Warm Bodies" was No. 1 in the box office a week ago, and "The Walking Dead" just broke a basic cable record for the most watched show at 12.3 million viewers.

Amid this undead fervor, the fertile, tasty brains of Montana's residents have fallen foul of a hoax alerting them that the dead have risen.

The emergency broadcast system was "hacked" and viewers of the "Steve Wilkos Show" got more than just teen cheaters when alerted that "dead bodies are rising from their graves."… Read more

Yes, someone on this earth not only conceived of this, but managed to produce it, even going so far as getting the man of steel himself to lend his voice.

The Insta-Zombie Workout Plan

Like most folks, I've made "enthusiastic" commitments to be more resolute in staying healthy this year. Such crazy claims include getting off the buttocks and working out, eating healthy, and other life-changing nonsense. Recently, one of my friends started this diet called the TAO Diet, which stands for Ten and One. The premise is simple: You eat 10 salads and one meal of whatever you please. Then rinse and repeat.

I've come to realize that I'm an attention-seeking and easily distracted geek with a healthy track record of...falling off track. But rather than giving … Read more

MakeMeZombie: A very specific photo-editing app

The zombie craze is everywhere: movies, television, and even large-scale events. MakeMeZombie aims to bring the zombie fun to your Android device, but it could use a few more editing options.

MakeMeZombie is fundamentally a photo-editing app. Though its interface could be more straightforward, we found that the process was actually very simple after a bit of trial and error with the various buttons. You upload a picture from one of your galleries and mark the photo to identify the eyes of the person you want to apply the effects to. You can then apply various texture filters that provide … Read more
