Hasta La Gadget!

It’s no surprise that so much anticipation has built up around the launch of The Last of Us on the PS4. The game was one of the best to hit the PS3 in its long history and was one of the best games of the year last year. PS4 gamers have had tidbits of detail about the game coming to the new Sony console.

We heard before that the game was coming this summer. That is a rather vague launch window though. Several major game retailers have now tipped a new launch date for the game. Target, Best Buy, and GameFly all list the launch date for the game as June 20.

Uncoincidentally, that is just about a week after E3 wraps up this summer. The launch date hasn’t been officially confirmed, but with so many retailers showing the same date, it’s almost a sure thing.

If I am being honest, I can’t see a bunny without thinking: “There’s the beast!” “What, behind the rabbit?” “No, IT IS the rabbit!” Monty Python and the Holy Grail if you didn’t know. With Easter coming soon, you may be looking for some cool candy and gifts to give the geeks on your list. They would love to find the Easter bunny left this behind.

It’s called the Chocolate Zombie Bunny. It’ looks like a deadly beast that would chew out your neck in a second, but it’s actually quite docile. Despite the green color, exposed ribs, and blood leaking from the mouth of the bunny, it’s actually made from white chocolate.

This was apparently a past April Fools’ product at ThinkGeek, and it has now turned into something real you can buy for $9.99(USD). Even better, spend $25 on other stuff and you can get one free while supplies last. Now get out there and lop its head off before it gets you with its nasty, big pointy teeth.

Anyone out there that has kids has probably seen more Disney movies than you care to see. We certainly watch more than our share of cartoon films around my house. I happen to prefer The Walking Dead.

I’ve never wondered exactly what a Disney princess and her man would look like if they were to have to fight the zombie hoard. Artist Kasami-Sensei has though and we end up with these blood spattered Disney girls and guys.

I recognize the characters from a few of the images, like the girls from Frozen and Mulan. Some weren’t quite as obvious – like Woody, Buzz Lightyear and Jessie. We have seen the some of the Disney characters as zombies in the past, but killing zombies is certainly better than being a zombie.

The Last of Us is coming to a theater near you. Not yet, but some day soon. If you haven’t played the game yet, the game follows Joel and Ellie, wandering around in a zombie infested world that includes such nasties as Clickers and Bloaters – along with plenty of awful humans too.

The creative director for the game, Naughty Dog’s Neil Druckmann, is writing the movie, while Sam Raimi and his Ghost House Pictures will be producing it, with Screen Gems handling distribution duties.

Hopefully it will be more than just the latest apocalypse film. The game was pretty unique, so there is no reason they can’t make a great movie out of it. One requirement though, is that they have to cast Ellen Page in some capacity. That’s really all I ask.

Well, that and focus on making a good movie.

If I had to fight off hordes of zombies, I’d want a good car that could quickly escape, and could also keep me out of harm’s way from the biters. And while the forecast has yet to be cloudy with a chance of walkers, it’s still never too early to prepare for our eventual demise at the hands of these mutants. These guys in Russia seem to have a good head start.

This insane vehicle apparently started out as a Nissan Maxima, but with a little nip here and tuck there in some 3D modeling software – and a whole lot of metal bending and welding, it sure doesn’t look like a Nissan anymore. Actually, if you stand back and squint really hard, it looks kind of like a massive VW Beetle.

Those giant tires and its 1.7 ton curb weight should be perfect for driving over mounds of zombies lining the road, if not right over piles of abandoned vehicles on the roads.

The vehicle was posted for sale for 1.5 million rubles (~$41,689 USD) last year, but I don’t know if it ever sold. Guess I’ll just have to build my own.
