So I somehow managed to squeeze some birthday celebration into the longest day of the week. From being sung the first happy birthday at 0 hours, to having more balloons decorating my workstation than a circus parade, then having a buffet lunch with coworkers and ex-coworkers, later going to dinner with my family before late classes, and finally getting sung happy birthday again minutes before the end of the day.
The aftermatch:
It was a good day :D
Cause I’m too lazy to mess with the entire template for a one-day event… here’s your halloween decoration D:
As per request from “Guest”, an absurdly short review of Unlimited Blade Works.
What can I say about this. The movie itself was fast paced, and I believe people who haven’t watched the series first will not follow the story too well. I heard the plot comes from the official Unlimited Blade Works scenario from the game, which I haven’t played, but other than the scene the screenshot above is from, not much came as a shock to me. Even Archer’s true identity was a virtual certainty back in the series.
Regarding my expectations, I thought it was gonna be awkward to see a Fate/Stay Night story without Saber as the main character, but surprisingly, she did fit well as a supporting character as well. Not that we see little of her throughout the movie, or anything. It’s a shame Sakura was underused in the movie, though (not her best arc in the game, I presume).
Watched from the fansub group of the same name, it was a well animated piece, as expected from a theatrical feature. I wonder if they’ll animate the other game routes into movies as well.
pd. Shiro’s engrish was embarrassing to hear, as usual.
So, besides the fact that I’m lacking sleep after only finishing the third week of the new semester with a full grid of classes, there are other reasons for calling this “zombie week”.
Healthpackalypse mutation is back this week, after a week run of my all-time favorite mutation: Follow the Liter. This mutation was in my top list, though, cause it brings a high level of satisfaction when playing as infected, since the survivors can’t heal and throw all your efforts to waste.
So after a while, I randomly decided to visit explosm.net and their so-wrong-its-hillarious comic. Didn’t take long to stumble upon a zombie joke.
Highschool of the Dead, or Left 4 Dead – the anime, is coming to an end this monday. Okay, so technically, this isn’t part of this zombie week, but the last scene of this week’s episode has left me with high anticipation for the finale.
The much anticipated DLC for Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 is drawing closer, and two confirmed related media will be a comic and a Teaser movie. The first of 4 issues of the comic is now available at l4d.com/comic. Storytelling is awesome so far, focusing this time on Louis and his unbridled optimism. All 4 issues will be out by October 5th.
So there you go. Zombies are here to stay 
Took this chance to try some game recording for the first time. Half the size cause video card can’t take full size recording without butchering the fps.
Weapon spam comes back this week, now with The Passing’s new weapon, the M60. With unlimited ammo and no reload, this is the ultimate zombie sweeper for all ranges, even better with laser sights and frag rounds.
Just a couple of tips, don’t try to take down a witch from a distance by yourself (unless you have frag rounds) and also make sure to quit the match before you reach the finale on Dark Carnival, cause this mutation has a bug that hangs the game when loading that specific map.
This new mutation brings, for the first time, what no other L4D game mode has brought before: the encouragement to backstab your teammates at the last moment. As cruel as it sounds, it’s actually a lot of fun… as long as you’re the one to get to the rescue vehicle first. ;D
Just like the series of the season, I keep waiting every thursday for a new Left 4 Dead 2 Mutation. For those who have no idea what a Mutation is (esco), it’s the latest game feature that came with the DLC. In this slot, a new type of game with its own set of rules is introduced by the Valve team every thursday.
The row started with Realism Versus, which is self explanatory if you’ve played both Versus and Realism mode; followed by Bleed Out where you never get a full health but keep on going just by popping pills (Louis’ dream). But this week’s one has become my favorite in record time: Follow the Liter, a modified Scavenge mode where you get one set of cans to pick up at a time, so the infected can tell exactly where the survivors are aiming to go at a time. Awesome mode that pushes teamwork to the limit for both teams.
