Dead Nation…Zombies Are The New Vampires

Zombies are everywhere.  They have invaded our pop culture like the viruses that spawn them.  Much like vampires in the last couple of years, zombies are popular in nearly every conceivable medium.  From books (Max Brooks World War Z and Zombie Survival Guide, Kirkman’s The Walking Dead, and 28 Days Later), to film (Diary of The Dead, Carrier, 28 Days Later), to television (The Walking Dead), and finally to video games (Left 4 Dead, Dead Nation, and Resident Evil).

Enter Dead Nation, the latest in the seemingly endless trend of zombies, zombies, and more zombies currently available on the PSN.   While I may have expressed my disdain for the obligatory zombie DLC in most games on the podcast, I really enjoy Housemarque’s effort to be as unique as possible within the cluttered zombie sub-genre.  If Diablo, Baldur’s Gate, and Night of The Living Dead made a baby, it would be called Dead Nation.  Yes, it really is that awesome.

Thoughts on PlayStation Plus and Hulu+


I don't have cable.  I hate cable companies with a fiery passion.  I have this thought that they are all out to get you, which may not always be the case, but I have had some unfortunate experiences with several large companies.  Thankfully, there are plenty of alternatives to cable.  From Netflix to Apple TV, cutting the cord with cable is easier now than ever.  I save over $100 a month with my use of both Netflix instant watch and Hulu+.  Hulu (plus) was introduced  last month on the PlayStation 3, iPhone, iPad, select TV models, and select blu-ray players.  I just recently decided to try out both PlayStation Plus and Hulu+.  Allow me to give you  the good, the bad, and the hideous.
