Shoot 'em in the head!

There are an awful lot of types of Zombies. There are those that are just meat sacks that can be taken out through just physical abuse: Beat them with a crowbar until they stop moving. Then there are those that can only be "killed" with severe damage to the brain, which are my personal favorite and the one's that you see more often. Then the last, and the most severe, are the one's whose parts can continue to move independently of the whole: lopped off arms keep flailing and only through major body-wide trauma can the whole be stopped. True unstoppable zombies.

But I think that's enough about the living dead for today.

Shea came over with his Wii yesterday. I had never actually even touched a Wii till then, and the whole experience was ultimately enjoyable. We played Smash Bros. Brawl, an "On-Rails" shooter like Virtua Cop or House of the Dead called Ghost... Something. It was actually pretty terrible, but the Wii-mote worked very well as a zapper. There was another game, a side scroller shooter (or "Shmup") where you can stick destroyed ships to your own at random angles and what-not. I quickly lost myself behind Shea's contraption which took up almost half of the screen. Suddenly I was a dead and we moved onto something else.

We played though Aegis Wing, which was fun. It seemed like we got an Achievement after every level, which we laughed about. I would like to play it with 4 people sometime.

I was glad he came over. An afternoon of video games is a great way to pep yourself up and Shea's a good guy.
