The ZBBC and G4 TV!

For those of you who follow us on Twitter, you might have noticed some tweets about how we were on G4's Attack of the Show the other night.

Yup, we're that awesome.

Kirk, Shannon, and James of the ZBBC, along with helpers Max and Patrick, covered the New Orleans Wizard Con Jan. 28 and 29 for AOTS Viewer Army segment. We worked hard, got a lot of good footage, and were paid off with one of the best Viewer Army segments yet. (Ok, that might be our personal bias there, but it is a really awesome segment.)

Best part, Krewe of the Living Dead and Zombie Waldo (James) take down publicity stunt made it in the clip. How awesome is that?

If you want to know more details about our personal adventures at Wizard Con, you can check out Shannon's blog where she talks all about it.

And finally, if you missed us on Live on G4, then you can check out our segement here.

Keep posted because we got some of our own footage from NOLA Wizard Con, which as soon as Editor Kirk has time, we'll be posting.

Limited Time Free Zombie Fairy Tales

Shannon here!

Cause I'm a fairy tale nut, I found this today on amazon. It's a free e-book edition of Gruesomely Grimm Zombie Tales. I have no idea if it's any good, but it's free, so what the hell? Thought I'd share this before it went away!

Zombie Game of the Month: Plants vs Zombies

Shannon here, and I'm presenting our 1st Zombie Game of the Month...

Plants vs Zombies!

If you have not played Plants vs Zombies by now, then you're missing out. If you have, and it's been a while, it's a game worth a revisit.

I was one of those people who heard about this game very early and thought, "That sounds fantastic!" Eagerly, I checked the game store shelves until it came out; occasionally hounding the Gamestop employee who would give me strange looks. The one day he answered me with, "What game are you looking for? Oh, that cheap-o computer game? It's over in that corner."

Even my boyfriend (now husband) shrugged it off. But when I finally found it, I bought it and excitedly went home to play levels 1-4 and stopped. Mostly because my husband got addicted and I watched him play the whole game through. Didn't change the fact that I still love it.

Now, it's been almost three years, and I'm still raving about it. Since I got an iPhone in October, I haven't had the need for any other game. Screw Angry Birds, I want my zombies and sunflowers!

Plants vs Zombies is a simple stratgey game. Plant various plants (which cost sun) to defend your house from the various hordes. It's surprisingly challenging, each level getting a little harder.

While the game is absolutely fun to play, it's design and humor are really what keep anyone playing. Be it from watermelon catapults to a zombie bobsled team. Plus, there's a whole bunch of mini-games to unlock and play.

I've been enjoying it more the 2nd play through, and felt that it had fallen to the wayside so it could use a little good press.

Plants vs Zombies is available for just about every platform out there and ranges between $9.99 and $19.99.

Shannon and the Zombie of the Month

Hey this is Shannon at the ZBBC!

We're hard at work over here and many different projects, including our ill-fated Zombie Carol Project (now coming Xmas 2012). And a special thanks to @zombilvr of twitter, who was the winner of the "Help me Write a Carol" contest. I will be doing something special just for you soon.

It's taken me a month to get it together, but I'm proud to present to you the ZBBC "Zombie of the Month" series. Every Thursday there will be a new, awesome zombie related feature:

1. Zombie Book of the Month

2. Zombie Movie of the Month

3. Zombie Game of the Month

4. Zombie Thing of the Month

I'm going to review said item, and tell you why you should go out a read/watch/play/buy said item.
