Hipster Zombies

If you love shooting zombies and poking fun at hipster culture, there is one way to satisfy both of your cravings.  Hipster Zombies is a fun light hearted game for Android (and iOS, but ehh) in which you fight off undead hipsters armed with what else but a gun that fires cans of PBR and other hipster paraphernalia.

As you kill the undead you gain coins which you can use to upgrade weapons or buy new ones such as vinyl records and mason jars.  You can also purchase coins from the game store. Occasionally you gain extra coins for "ironic kills" destroying the brain munching scenesters with a taste of there own medicine, pipe smoking hipsters with tobacco pipes, biking hipsters with a "fixie fork", etc.

You unlock different location to defend the more zombies you kill.  These locations become more and more difficult to defend as you go along.  The area you need to defend grows larger giving the zombies more points of attack.

In the most recent update the game started utilizing Google Play Game Services, adding achievements and leader boards.  Which personally is one of my favourite new features of gaming on android though I'm one of the few in my circles using it.

Despite the fact that I am highly offended that apparently riding bikes and smoking pipes is "hipster" Hipster Zombies is a fun, simple, well designed and ironic... game that is worth a look.

Great Novels: Dune

    I recently finished reading Dune  as part of my quest to read the greatest novels of the 20th century .  I have always heard that Dune  was one of the greatest sci-fi novels ever written and it did not disappoint me in the least.     Dune follows the story of Paul Atreides, a young man  avenging his father after being defeated by a rival noble.  Paul is kind of messianic character, fulfilling prophecies, leading people, all that messiah stuff.     The world of Dune is quite intricate with many different factions involved in the conflict over the planet.  The universe that Herbert has created is very complex and you feel that you are only seeing the tip of the iceberg of what there is to find in his world.  Which I suppose is the reason for all of the books, games and other stuff that has spun off of this one book.   There are several other books in the Dune series and the first one has left me w...

New Years Resolutions 2014

  I don't normally do new years resolutions.  I typically keep a long list goals in my head; I'm sure some of them fall out every once in a while.  But I figure it is not bad to write  some of these goals down and put a 12 month deadline on them.  Writing down, publicly stating and setting deadlines for goals is like some kind of weird magic sauce that makes you actually want to get shit done. Pay mortgage down to $110k   Having a 30 year mortgage with a 0% down payment we essentially started out behind and only making slightly more than the minimum monthly payment has not given us much progress.  Even with adding on to our house we are still under water. As it sits now the mortgage is at about $129,700.  I'd like to get that number down to $110,000 by the end of the year.  That will set us up nicely to be able to refinance and start saving for another house.  According to my lender if we keep making the normal payment I will b...
