Dead Rising 2 Party

What:  Greene’s Hardware Super Sale (Dead Rising 2 Community Event) 
Where:  2147 W Sunset Blvd, Los Angeles, CA 90026              
When:   8PM – 12 Midnight on Friday September 10th 2010


Yesterday I ventured down to Sunset Blvd and went to the Dead Rising party or as they were calling it a community event. The store it was held in was set up to be a fake hardware store with tons of flyers covering the walls. They had most of the weapons from the game on shelves inside the store. I tried to take pictures but a bunch of them came out blurry. Next time I will remember to bring a better camera than my Droid. 

As I walked farther I entered a larger warehouse looking room where there were a ton of PS3s and Xbox 360s set up so you could test out the new Dead Rising 2 game. They also had more weapons available to take pictures with including a rocket launcher, a freedom bear, a sticky bomb, a shotgun, a beer helmet and a few more weapons that I can't remember. I was a little sad they didn't have a fake chainsaw lying around but what are you going to do.

Aside from the game testing they had free pizza and soda. They also gave out some badass shirts just for being there. If you tested your skills out at the Tape it or Die table you received a free poster. 


Here's some pictures from the event:

Day of the Dead (2008) Review

Oh where do I begin?

I have honestly tried to watch this movie five times. Every time I watch it I get a little bit farther but it never gets any better. I guess I just want it to be good like the Dawn of the Dead remake. I actually got forty minutes in to it this time. A new record. The movie is an hour and twenty five minutes by the way. How is it so bad you ask? Well I will tell you.

First let's talk about this poster. This never happens in the movie. None of the zombies in this movie throw up so why give it such a bad image from the start? I don't think anyone saw this cover at a rental store and thought, "Oh cool, puking zombies."

Now let's get on with the movie.

This movie has fast zombies like we have seen before but they do these sporadic movements that are just uncalled for. There is a scene in a hospital where a zombie is chasing after a women and grabs onto the ceiling and is crawling upside down super duper fast. This is the only time in the movie when this is done. It's like a weird spider zombie.

The worst dialog in this film is when the mother of the main character in this movie is talking to a private named Bud about her daughter. It goes something like this.

"Does she have a boyfriend?" - Bud
"She's hot huh?" -Mother
"She's so hot" - Bud

Now this is the first scene that they talk so it's not like they know each other or anything.

I think the biggest slap in the face overall for fans of the original is the character of Bud. He is obviously supposed to be like Bub in the original Day of the Dead. Bud gets turned into a zombie about half way through the film. He ends up not eating people because before he is changed he is a vegetarian. That is the point where I turned off the film.

My advice is to not rent this film and go watch the original instead.
