Zombie Attacks Continue

10.31.2009 · Posted in Home and Garden Articles

You are walking across a field covered in acres and acres of lush green land. When out of nowhere, zombies, yes I said zombies, pop up from the ground like weeds! What do you do? It is definitely the season for zombies, and you best be ready.nnFirst on the list of preparations, Seth Grahame-Smith has created a Jane Austen parody called, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. The story is basically the same, except who is a zombie, and who isn’t? All the same romantic elements and beautiful scenes that we love, and a load of zombie action intermingled with it.nnThe Bennett daughters remain in their same character, but are also trained zombie killers. Darcy is well known for his mass slaughter of the undead. The whole reason Netherfield Park becomes vacant is because of an unfortunate zombie attack. I found these to be humorous additions to the story indeed.nnOr course, I was initially excited by this idea, but found as I read the book, it was seriously lacking in literary merit. But anything containing zombies is already void of quality. Seth has a fun idea with some good moments, I found myself bored, even with zombies attacking. It wasn’t right because there are some places, like Pemberly, that zombies just don’t belong.nnSeth Grahame-Smith obviously had just one intention with writing this. He wanted to take a classic tasteful novel and turn into a manfest. It would be like me writing a novel about James Bond, but instead of him being an international secret agent, he’s making potpourri. I admire your ambition and unique ideas, Seth, but Jane Austen is the novelist of the century for a reason. Read it for yourselves, but never let go of the original.nnZombies aren’t just bent on battering literature this season. Fluxx creators have added to their clever collection, Zombie Fluxx! Hidden in the deck are zombies you don’t want, and must destroy.nnIt all about the card combinations for winning, like having the brain card with the baseball bat card. Careful, the goals change faster than your friends turn into zombies. While getting rid of all your zombies, the goal can change to make you want at least nine zombies and a baseball bat card to have the zombie baseball team. Since every game is different and fun, you’ll keep playing.nnThe newest version of Zombie Fluxx comes equipped with Larry the Zombie. Larry is the equivalent of the Old Maid, if you have him, you lose. Larry is just the zombie that keep popping out of the beautiful green grass no matter how many times to bludger him back down.nnPersonally, I would start by buying zombie-free property in the first place. With all the zombie-free claims out there, it’s hard to be sure. You might say buying land online is just as scary, but you can trust Land for Sale Online. Try their link below for a glance at the zombie-free property of your dreams.
