Link to Distefano.comIf you like wine to have a little body in it, why not buy a fake corpse! These are terrific, though I suspect if you were to say drive around town with one in your front seat you might have a little explaining to do.

Each is hand crafted with attention to detail- nostril cavities and fingernails. Heads can rotate, mouths open a close and the fingers can be angled as you wish! Including howe much decay (6 months decay, drowned with maggots please!) Even the latex skin feels real and apart from the lack of smell, they look very realistic!

Link to Last Blood Graphic NovelThough I am probably more of a novel than a graphic novel reader, I did read a lot of AD 2000 and quite like the genre. The web is probably a better medium for viewing graphic novels than plain old text novels- at least until designers make reading a more enjoyable experience. (My absolute pet hate on the web is white text on a black or dark background. ).

Last Blood is a story about a futuristic earth where zombies have taken over the earth and vampires are protecting them. (Gotta look after your food supply!). Written by Bobby Crosby, Illustrated by Owen Gieni there is a new page on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. Excellent stuff!

Link to Zombie SimulatorIf you’ve seen the film Dawn of the Dead or even Sean of the Dead, you’ll be familiar with Zombies. Now you can have a Screen of the Dead.

Conceptually, Zombies are just clearly a metaphor for Pensioners. Just think of the similarities- they walk slowly, froth at the mouth, and if you have to look after one they take over your life. They consume you. Everyone turns into one sooner or later.

This is a Zombie simulator using the Processing language, covered before on portent. I think adding a few more Zombies would make it more interesting…and why is everyone running when there is only one Zombie on screen? So it’s interesting but could be improved a bit. Having said that, the source code is available.
