Friday Timewaster

Corpseburg, wherein you attempt to survive a zombie apocalypse. The hook here is the game is played out on Google maps. You start from whatever address you enter into the dialog box, then attempt to survive for thirty days by scouting, looting, and fortifying houses and businesses. It's an interesting way to live out your Walking Dead fantasies -- which has become a really, really good show, by the way. If you were turned off by season 1, I encourage you to slog through the second season, because in seasons 3 and 4 they push the nitrous button. I eagerly await the impending Netflix acquisition of season 5.

At any rate, enjoy dying in the zombie apocalypse; I haven't made it anywhere close to day 30 yet. But look on the bright side: you get to beat (former) people's skulls in with heavy objects for a few days before you go down, and that makes it all worthwhile. Try Walmart for some truly cathartic brain-bashing.
