Zombie MMORPG in the Works

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the braaaiiiiii-ding-nnnnsssss dept.

Warcry has a very short blurb about a just announced Horror-genre Massively Multiplayer game. Titled Exanimus, the game looks to be set in a post-apocalyptic zombie setting. From the piece: "While most of the world is dead, there are small pockets of survivors that exist in barricaded cities across the globe. Players of Exanimus will have the option of playing as a living survivor or as one of the dead roaming the earth. Exanimus will allow players to experience a MMO based in a horror genre by creating a dark and visually "intense" environment. Exanimus is expected to be rated "Mature" and not intended for anyone under the age of 18."

    It is based off of my experiences at work. I demand royalties!

    Sheesh, how many times is this? Undead, not dead! Zombies care very much about these things. You should too if you like your frontal lobe.

      In my experience, zombies care very little about much of anything except the frontal lobes of pre-zombies. I guess I've been associating with the wrong zombies.

    So they finally found a solution to pkers eh? It's pretty hard to kill something that is already dead.

    Given the soullessness of much of modern life and the life-sucking cubicles and jobs found throughout the current economy, along with the 60+ hours that many of fresh-out-of-college employees and others are working already, how far are we from being basically a nation of better-groomed zombies who don't bite each other?

    Shame on you, you should know better than to call them "Zombies"... what is this, 1965?

    They prefer to be called the living impaired

    I suppose you think they should stick to eating the back of the head, too..
