Tis the month of April…

Sunday, April 18th, 2010

There isn’t much to say about my recent hiatus. I took a few months off to get my life straightened out after the events in Africa. I’m not worried of a repeat performance by any means. I do worry that those out there who are looking to us for the latest news on zombies and viral infections might take this a little too seriously.

It’s with this in mind that I’m going to be separating the business of the Compound and the NR website altogether. I’ll be on here more than usual, but I want to move this whole thing more toward a fictional zombie site. I’ve been playing Left 4 Dead 2 nonstop since it came out and am looking forward to turning the NecroResistance website into a fan site. A guild, if you will.

I would also like to see fan fiction, zombie art, and written fiction on zombies in particular.

I’m not bowing to “the man” if that’s what you’re all thinking. I just think that business and pleasure shouldn’t mix unless you are a prostitute. My business is the Compound. My pleasure is zombies altogether. So with your help, all of you, I would like to move this thing along and become the biggest and best L4D/Zombie site online. Let me know what you think and submit what you have.

I’ll be waiting!

Left 4 Dead 2

Saturday, June 27th, 2009

Okay, so it’s official. There’s going to be an L4D 2. Is anyone else as excited about this as I am? I have given it some serious thought, and I’ve decided that since there’s just so much on my plate with all the on-campus stuff that’s happening lately here at the Necro Compound, that I’m going to transition the NecroResistance website over to an L4D fan site. I took a vote with the members of the compound, and they all agree that for this site to serve a real purpose, this is the best route.

So beginning July 1st, 2009, this website is going to become the official site of the NecroResistance L4D Clan. Hey, we’re not just about preparing for the oncoming zombie war, we are about having fun too. So what better way to celebrate the coming Left 4 Dead 2 than by beginning an official L4D Necro Clan? We are going to start a forum to go along with this, as well as have open invitations for those that want to join.

I’ll continue to post topics related to life here on the Compound as well as true-life zombie information, that will never change. But in order to keep this site more lively, this seems like the best option. If you have an opinion on this matter, please feel free to post here.

Working on a Compound map for L4D

Sunday, April 19th, 2009

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.
