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.

Writing Goals

  Recently I came to the conclusion that I should write more often.  That is, I believe, I should start to consider myself a "writer."  That's the main reason there's been a bit of an increase in publishing to this blog (going from zero over the past few years to a couple times a month is a pretty huge jump).     I, like most humans, have thoughts and opinions which are a product of the times and places in which I live.  I figure I can do my part for future historians and write a few of them down.  I also just might have enough creative juice to pump out a story or two. This blog   I'd like to post to this blog at least once a week from now on, or at a minimum once a month.  Really, anything at all would be better than what I've been doing.  I'll mainly write about my life, family, interests, and opinions about, current events and local and state politics (I'll try to steer clear of national issues for my own sanity).  Pretty...

Ubuntu games?

    One of the things I have been doing very little of for the last several years is PC gaming.  This is probably mostly due to a complete lack of a Windows machine in my life.  Plus with all of the great games available for Android my needs as a casual gamer are more than met.     However, this years humble bundled has reignited my interest in PC gaming.  I got it and installed a couple of the games on my Ubuntu machine.  So far they are a lot of fun especially VVVVVV .  This got me asking "what else can I play on Ubuntu?"  Turns out there is a plethora of free open source games, some awesome, some not so much.  Many are available from the   Ubuntu Software Center and many you have to hunt down around the web.     One thing that keeps many Windows users from Ubuntu (or any Linux OS for that matter) is a supposed lack of games.  This is simply not the case.  While yes many of th...
