The NecroResistance

Last month I allowed Don from OCModshop to come here to Idaho and interview me to help get more people to see what was going on at the Compound, but I found out today that someone in China or something has stolen the article and posted it over there on their site.

I feel that Asian countries are on the forefront of biological testing and could eventually bring about the beginning of the zombie era, so I’m not too happy that they are able to keep track of what’s going on in the Compound.

Here’s the link to the OCMS blog where Alan talks about it:

Although they didn’t copy any of the material with OC’s logos on it, they took plenty of ours. I’m not happy about this at all. I’m afraid legal issues might arise from this, seeing as they copied material about us from the only site authorized to have journalistic contracts with myself and the NecroResistance. Further updates as they occur, my friends.

With the April 21st release of the new download pack available for L4D, they are going to be releasing the official SDK so that people can make their own maps for the game. I am going to take a shot at designing a map so that the Necros here on the Compound will know what to do in case of an attack on home grounds.

I’m going to make it as true to life as possible while sticking with the surprising feel that Left 4 Dead gives each time it’s played. I feel that this would keep everyone on their toes here on the Compound, while giving those on the outside a Virtual Tour of the campus while getting to kill zombies.

So be on the lookout for it. The release of the SDK will be on Tuesday, April 21st, and I will begin experimenting with it that very night. Alright, I have some work to do with a green recruit, so keep your eyes wide and your minds open. I’ll be back on here soon for some more updates.

Hello my fellow undead slayers. I found an interesting site today that you all might find interesting. Apparently in the early days of Egypt’s reign, there was a zombie attack. Evidence of this has been found all around the site, along with bodies missing heads. They even found a few bodies thousands of years old still decomposing (The solanum virus slows decomposition, according to some), with partially intact brains which showed signs of viral infection. You can check out the full article here:

This is startling news to me, assuming it is true, as I was convinced that the Solanum Virus was a man-made biological entity. There is no way that they could engineer biological organisms that long ago, so that only leaves a natural explanation. Either way, they are a threat, let’s never forget that.

I was sitting at my computer last night and started thinking that it would be great if we could set up our own NecroResistance server for Left 4 Dead. If we wanted more people to know about the cause then what better way to spread the word?

So I’m going to look into it and see what it would take. Anyone who has suggestions on how I could get this going please feel free to comment and let me know. I am no computer wiz here, just a necro-mercenary who likes to kill virtual zombies.

All suggestions would be appreciated, and I bid you all happy hunting. I’ll see you in the game!

I have a suggestion for all those who might be interested in some late night research/reading. Robert Kirkman, who some might recognize as the comic book author who created “Battle Pope”, also has a series of comics that have been around for a few years called “The Walking Dead”.

I began reading these comics a couple months ago, and have found them to be a thorough wealth of knowledge. Kirkman not only explores the concept of living amongst the undead, but of the trials it can put the mind through. The hardships and tribulations of surviving with others in a world full of zombies.

These comics are now available in compiled books and can be found on eBay, BarnesandNoble.com, as well as abebooks.com. I suggest that if you want to expand your library, you should definitely look into this.

Also, with the coming expansion to Left 4 Dead, there will likely be a new Strategy Guide to follow promptly. For those who are already living at the Compound, these books will be available in the library soon after they hit the stores. All other members online are urged to buy the book soon as well.

I was reading a few months back that this ex-weatherman believed that Hurricane Katrina was caused by the Yakuza. He believed that we have in our power the ability to control the weather based on an old patent by Nikola Tesla. This is nothing new, people have believed that we have ways to control the weather since the 60′s.

But after the whole Katrina thing, people started reporting friends and neighbors walking around in the evacuated parts of New Orleans. Friends that had been pronounced dead and neighbors that had disappeared. Some witnesses even claimed that they were missing limbs, were bloated with water, and were beginning to rot.

One man claimed to see his own daughter, swept away a week before by the floods, shambling down an alleyway with a half-eaten kitten in her hand. This leads me to believe that the reason it took the government so long to respond to the Katrina disaster was that it would have cut one of their experiments short.

And what better way to attempt the resurrection of the freshly dead than by distracting the rest of us with a natural disaster? I don’t want to call conspiracy on this one… but come on people.
