House Of The Dead - Hat Trick!

I went to Western Super Mare the other week with my awesome friend and her boyfriend, and as everyone knows seasides have piers which have arcades. Now I've not been to Western since the old pier had burnt down so I'm guessing nothing was saved from the arcades which meant they must have needed to get more shit for it.

BUT I found House of the Dead I, II and III [No one cares about 4 so shut up]

Sadly the games being as old as they are if you do find them in their actual boxs/cabanits the guns will more then likely had too much hard core loving. The House 3's shotgun was broke and I had to fix it in a certain way, House 1's guns were a little off center and I didn't get to play House 2.

Whenever playing an old ass arcade game remember it's old and more then likely had alot of love and House games were/are very popular and sometimes hard to find now so remember that if everything's a little awkward but check the state of the gun to see if it will be easy to use or not.

So here are my babies..










Much love Jigsaw

Can You Survive the Zombie Apocalypse? - Book Review

Well it's been ages since I've done anything and I am so sorry for being a lazy ass. I've just been so busy with work and moving jobs and everything. I currently have two jobs now and also I've been busy with cosplay since con season is on the way.


LFCC also, so sorry... Back on track now.


Can You Survive the Zombie Apocalypse?


Well I've not played an adventure type book in years but I can't help but think this is both a massive cash in on the whole world being gay for Zombies and also the Walking Dead by Telltale Games where your every choice has a reaction.

Either way I got this for about £10.99 brand new which isn't bad for a new book and hey it's been ages since I've read something... Which is very bad for me as I used to knock a book back a month. 

So the person you play 'yourself' or at least the person your meant to relate too is I think 25, boring job they hate, single, lives in a small apartment and a dude. Also all set in America which is ok, just don't get the local geography or terms of 'blocks' but whatever that's fine. 

Your character is just the right amount of normal and sarcastic to not be too annoying or too try hard. So far I have only died once but had two endings [Didn't die, just ended] so I'm doing pretty good! Not met many chicks.. I've been an hells angel, met an annoying ass Zombie walk group and desperately hope I never sound like one of those asshats and I've also dangled off the arm of the statue of Liberty.

This book isn't well written in a gripping masterpiece way, it's pretty average but it's simple and fun and very enjoyable. I can find myself just picking it up and digging into it. Since there are so many stories and paths it could go on for awhile and you can finish a story and just leave it to later and start again.

Very fun read.

Plot: 2.5/5
Writing: 2/5
Scares: 1/5
Gore: 2.5/5
Enjoyment: 3.5/5
