The NecroResistance

My apologies to all the loyal Necros out there. We are looking into getting some new equipment here at the compound and everyone has been scurrying around to get things done. Unfortunately, that means that the website has to be second to more important matters. This is the time of month when we start ordering our food rations and daily living supplies, and it gets hectic.

But just to keep everyone up on news, the good Dr. Shylar is working on a replica of a zombie body so that we can more closely examine weaknesses when it comes to close and ranged combat. He has been working with ballistics jell (something very new to him) as well as trying to simulate rigor-toughened muscle and skin, so he has been away from his computer as well. Sorry, fellow zombie biologists, you’ll have to wait for your updates too.

And last but not least, I have downloaded the new Left 4 Dead SDK (Software Development Kit) so I can begin work on a campaign for download that is centered around the NecroResistance Compound. I’m sure I’m not the only one excited to play that one. Dr. Shylar had his first round in the simulator yesterday, and is not as great at PC games as he is at biology I’m afraid to say. But he was a good sport about it.

Okay, that’s about all I have for today. I’ll try to get some further information on what’s going on here at the compound up on the site in the near future, with any luck tomorrow. For now, I have to go check in with our weapons guy and see how he’s doing with our new modified crossbows. More on that later.

Dr. Shylar’s first addition to the Dead Science blog is off and running. I welcome and encourage everyone to click on the link under “Pages” on the right and check out his enlightening story on how he came out here. I’m sure a few of you will be surprised by his own zombie experience thus far.

Another thing I would like to point out today is the link between zombies today and our own experimentation with reanimation back in the 30′s and 40′s. Not to say that things like this didn’t help lead to advances in medical research such as organ transplant and things like that, but bringing a dog’s head back to life and allowing it to live just sitting on a table? That’s just cruel. Check out this video (yes, it’s very long) and see what our grandfathers were doing all those years ago that probably lead to today’s experimentation with tissue reanimation. Hopefully this opens a few more eyes as well.

Every day when I log onto this thing and check for comments, half of them are from loyal followers who only want the most updated information on zombie security. These people are interested in keeping their families and themselves safe when Z-Day arrives. But the other half are from idiots leaving linkbacks to their gun clubs, ammunition stores, and even Viagra. I got that one this very afternoon. I try to keep things updated at least once a week, but it gets hectic here at the compound. So if you spot a link for Firestone Condoms or something that might blow up in your face just pay no mind. I’m on top of it.

On a lighter note, we recruited a scientist with a history in bioengineering this week! He is going to start a weekly diary on here called “Dead Science: Understanding the Zombie Biology”. We are very excited to have Dr. Theodore Shylar on the NecroResistance team. I’m sure everyone here on the compound will make him feel at home. He will also be holding a seminar, also entitled DEAD SCIENCE, in the theater room next week. If you would like to attend, please RSVP the email that Theodore is sending out tonight.

Alright, that’s all I have for today. I just want to thank everyone in and out of the NecroResistance for their support and encouragement as we deal with the loss of our faithful mascot Corpse. He was a good dog, and able to sniff out any piece of rotting meat no matter where we hid it. He will be missed and not easily replaced.

RIP Corpse: 1999-2009. You will be missed, my friend.

This is meant to be humorous, but it couldn’t be closer to the truth.
