Costume Of The Month

C-C-C-C-C-C-COMBO BREAKER!

Ugh sorry I've been so... yeah recently. So sorry kids, there will be more zombies though don't worry.. Haha.

Welcome back to the Costume Of The Month section! 

Rachel

Age: 28
Where are you from?: England

How long have you been cosplaying?: 8 Years

What did you decide to cosplay this character?:  I chose genocider as I like dark characters as I think they are more interesting.

 Tell us about your costume: My cosplay is of Genocider sho/Fukawa from Danganropa I bought most of it as I suck at sowing lol.

Tell us something about the character your cosplaying:

Fukawa is the normal dr jekal side of the character, she hates being around people except Togami who she has a huge crush on despite him insulting her she finds it that he is complimenting her! But if she is under stress or sneezes her dark side Genocider sho is unleashed! Genocider is a psychotic serial killer with a crazier personality who's main weapon is scissors but she only kills guys that she is in love with.

Zombie Awareness Month: Day 11 - RE: Your Brains

I've been aware of this song for ages but I know not many people have. I've spent all day in a shopping mall with yugioh players so I feel like a zombie myself so forgive my small post. The song is silly and catchy,

Heya Tom, it's Bob from the office down the hall
It's good to see you buddy, how've you been?
Things have been OK for me except that I'm a zombie now
I really wish you'd let us in
I think I speak for all of us when I say I understand
Why you folks might hesitate to submit to our demand
But here's an FYI: you're all gonna die screaming

All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We'll all come inside and eat your brains

I don't want to nitpick, Tom, but is this really your plan?
Spend your whole life locked inside a mall?
Maybe that's OK for now but someday you'll be out of food and guns
And you'll have to make the call
I'm not surprised to see you haven't thought it through enough
You never had the head for all that bigger picture stuff
But Tom, that's what I do, and I plan on eating you slowly

All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We'll all come inside and eat your brains

I'd like to help you Tom, in any way I can
I sure appreciate the way you're working with me
I'm not a monster Tom, well, technically I am
I guess I am

I've got another meeting Tom, maybe we could wrap it up
I know we'll get to common ground somehow
Meanwhile I'll report back to my colleagues who were chewing on the doors
I guess we'll table this for now
I'm glad to see you take constructive criticism well
Thank you for your time I know we're all busy as hell
And we'll put this thing to bed
When I bash your head open

All we want to do is eat your brains
We're not unreasonable, I mean, no one's gonna eat your eyes
All we want to do is eat your brains
We're at an impasse here, maybe we should compromise:
If you open up the doors
We'll all come inside and eat your brains 

Zombie Awareness Month: Day 10 : In The Flesh Season 2

I loved season one so much of this, it was good, well acted and powerful. I was so upset at the ending but I won't give that away. BBC aren't known for their breaking shows.. not like other ones like C4 who did the Big Brother zombie show DEAD SET.

[2013 Season 1]

I was hoping there would be more of In The Flesh but the way they left it, It could have just ended and done so nicely. Even though it was three eps long it was well paces and wonderfully done, nothing felt rushed or shoe horned in.

Season 2 has been out since May 4th and I am just really slow where I don't watch alot of TV or listen to the radio.

A second, extended series of the show, comprising six one-hour episodes began airing on 4 May 2014 on BBC Three. It will begin broadcasting in the USA on 10 May 2014. It will take place in Roarton, where a fragile peace has been reached after the shocking events of Series One. While Kieren is hoping to get on with his second life, new, explosive characters could throw those plans into disarray. Battle lines are drawn and all will be judged.

From what I saw from the trailer it's alot like an X-men type thing THEM vs US pick a side or move out the way. But I look forward to catching up with it and enjoying it.

If you've not seen season 1 I did a review.

Due to the fact I never watch TV this one slipped me by for awhile until a work mate pointed it out so I started to watch and.. it's good.

In The Flesh is a BBC three part drama in which the dead came back to life and all hell broke lose.. after the events of the zombie take over alot of zombies were rounded up and 'cured' thanks to injections which give their brains the thing that being dead took away and now they walk amongst us but with all memories of their past lives in tact.

These people are called PDS 'Partally Dead Syndrome' and they try and fit back into our world. Our story is about a boy who had killed himself and there are alot of unresolved issues in the family due to how he died.

Where he lives sadly is a very god loving, low tolerance northern community that hate 'rotters' and who lead the HVF [Human Volunteer Force] which includes our main guys sister. It shows the northern lot in a very 'nice' light but as someone from the south.. oh well.

Anyway it's about zombies who came back, got cured and have to deal with 'living' their lives again and dealing with the guilt of what they have done and also dealing with the true livings feelings towards them.

A new, fresh look on the overly done to ahem.. death zombie story.

Three parts which doesn't feel rushed as you see him coming home, the struggles he gets from a conflicted family, a community who hate him and also meeting people along the way. It's powerful and compelling and  a damn good watch.

I can't say a bad thing about it other then the fuck ugly guy called 'Dean'...

Plot: 5/5
Acting: 4/5
Gore: 4/5
Scares: 1/5
Overall enjoyment: 5/5

Zombie Awareness Month: Day 9 - Just Cus

I feel the zombie culture has become so big and wide that when you see stuff like this, it's not strange or creepy and kids have no concept almost. If I was a kid I'd have been less up for running towards giant road kill... but hey.

Zombie Awareness Month: Day 7 - Dr Dales Zombie Guide

11.32 PM... thought I'd fuck up and miss today... here have an old post.... I kinda cheated but not.

Kid's fucking love zombies and in 2010 it was pretty much 'year of the zombie' where everything got a zombie add on or a zombie version or something like that..  And what with the TV show created from the comic 'The Walking Dead' zombies were right up there with large foot faced looking vampires that all the teenagers would gush over.

I have a habit of buying anything remotely horror related no matter how bad it sounds to me if it's a good cheap price [Here's looking at you 'Skinned Deep' lure me into your web of poor plots and terrible production values by shaking that £1.50 sticker at me! never again CEX, never again..] So yes, while in HMV clutching more poor movie choices to my chest I spot this gem for £3 and decide, zombies... £3? well it's been a good few years since I picked up anything written that didn't have men in tights saving the world so I went for it.

So yes.. where as the 'Zombie Survival Guide' is funny cus you don't know if the guy was trolling us or he really, really believed in everything he said.. but this book is a total goof and he's loving the fact he's just taking the piss. The writing style is casual and easy to get on with  even if it does suffer block text walls in some places.

I also find that as amusing as his comments are and I utterly love all the Zombie game references [Dead Rising, L4D, Resident Evil etc] as well as just normal game references he does tend to ramble and go off on one, like if you were in a room with him it would start off like having a good conversation before he stands there like a crazy homeless person and yells things at you.

Like I said, it's funny, well written and is laced with horror popular culture references which I admit had me chuckling to myself on the bus and staff room causing many confused looks. It's also by a fellow brit and thus references to places/things in the UK hit home allot more then the good old 'Zombie Survival Guide' so massive enjoyment for me on that level.

I do feel he might have been trying too hard to be funny in some sections such as the need to add a section on 'Lorraine Kelly' of all people but hey, I don't have a novel what do I know right?

The art work is very poor but also adds allot to the amusement of the book and no need for good art in a book that's basically rambling about things and trying to make you laugh.

All in all Dr Dale's snarky and harmlessly funny book is a good read, I found myself skipping some sections but most the time I'd have a great big grin on my face!

4/5

Zombie Awareness Month: Day 6 - T-virus is real?!

A make-up company called AVON had a product called Derma-Full X3 and it looks alot like the T-virus from the Resident Evil movie fame.

It does the following..

This truly innovative new Avon product offers injectable grade facial filler in an ultra concentrated serum. It reduces the look of deep wrinkles, improves undereye hollowness, adds youthful fullness and plumps out lines to give a younger looking you. It stimulates skin's own filling fibres for younger-looking skin in just 3 days*!

It reminds me of the cosmetics advert on the Ressi evil DVD..

It's creepy how similar these two things are and you have to wounder was it on purpose? then again I doubt people who buy anti ageing crap for millions would go 'THAT LOOKS LIKE THE THING FROM A VIDEO GAME!' like all of us nerds.

The Avon product got stopped awhile ago, did capcom decide it was too much like their thing? who knows...

Enjoy the pointless post.

Much love
