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.

Giving to those in need this Christmas?

    One of my favourite missions organizations, Gospel for Asia , has an excellent Christmas catalogued , for giving to those in need in Asia.  You can give an animal, which as Alton Brown says is like giving someone a small business .  People can sell eggs from chickens, milk from goats, etc. Also you can give blankets, fishing nets, even a well.     One thing that I love about Gospel for Asia is that they promise to send 100% of your donation to the missions field.  So if you worry about middle men pocketing money this is a good organization for you to give to.  Everything that you give to GFA goes directly to people working in one of the areas that is most untouched by the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Ubuntu Games: Wesnoth 1.10 getting closer to release

    Yesterday Wesnoth announced the first release candidate for version 1.10-rc1.  This is a good sign that 1.10 will soon be the stable branch of The Battle for Wesnoth.      One of the biggest changes from 1.8 is something called whiteboard.  Whiteboard is a system to help players plan their next moves.  It also will help allies in multiplayer games stratagize together.     There are many other minor updates to campaigns and to the over all look of the game.  More animation on the game map so that the world doesn't look quite so lifeless.  There is also the addition of a whole new campaign.       You might not miss out on much if you don't try out Wesnoth 1.10 before it's official release but the development branch hitting release candidate makes it pretty appealing.  For now if you want to play 1.10-rc1 on Ubuntu you will need to compile from the source code .       Wesnoth is a...
