UNFORTUNATE TIMING OF THE WEEK

“Last month, I had a working dinner with Steve Jobs,” boasts the government tech lady investigating the Sanctuary. Not the likeliest of scenarios, given the circumstances…

WEIRDEST SCHOOL ACTIVITY OF THE WEEK

Seismology Club? Really? We’d understand it if the school were in Haven or The Fades where tremors are part of everyday life, but we haven’t spotted many earthquakes in The Vampire Diaries yet.

BEST HALLOWEEN MAKEOVER OF THE WEEK

It’s the most exiting thing to happen to the British rail network since the Box Hill Massacre. Forget “Braaaaiiiinnnnns!!!!” Welcome to “Traaaaiiiinnnnns!!!!” The normally quite sane and sober PC game series Railworks has gone completely off the rails and released a Trains Versus Zombies DLC for Railworks 3. According to the blurb: “With a zombie plague in full swing, you find yourself in Oxford amongst a group of survivors, one of whom is The Professor. He has the entry code to a secret bunker beneath Paddington Station, and will lead you all to safety as long as you can drive everybody there! Starting out from Oxford Station, unexpected happenings along the way mean you will be in for a bumpy ride – and a few train changes! You need to get away quickly, as the zombies are hard at work ripping up the tracks, though with a little Halloween magic, a few missing pieces of track won’t stop you getting away…” Trainspotting suddenly became a whole load cooler.

ZOMBIE APOCALYPSE OF THE WEEK

Eclectic Method – Zombies from Eclectic Method on Vimeo. Another tasteful Halloween treat for you, apparently inspired by watching too much The Walking Dead.
