Your Fratoscope: October 30, 2011

by tonyd on October 30, 2011 at 12:01 am

If your birthday is this week: Your Lady Gaga meat costume backfires when you get the address of the Halloween party wrong and end up walking into a kennel.

Aries: Your comment on your boss’s “slutty secretary” costume turns out to be inappropriate, she’s not wearing a costume.

Taurus: The stars say, giving away bags of pot for Halloween is wrong. You have to roll the joints for the kids first.

Gemini: Your America’s Most Wanted Fugitive costume doesn’t fool anyone, except the cops that pull you over.

Lemini : This week, your house will be the scariest one on the block. But then again, most registered sex offenders are pretty scary.

Cancer: The ghost of Ryan Dunn will suggest you ride down a hill in a shopping cart. He will also laugh at you during the ambulance ride.

Leo: You will regret passing out at the Halloween party. Mostly because you went in a costume that looked like a toilet.

Virgo: You’ll have anonymous sex with a girl in a mascot costume. At least, that’ what you’ll tell yourself.

Libra: You will find out that porn is an inappropriate treat for Halloween.

Scorpio: The stars say, it’s a perfect time to go out with your orgy mask on. Unfortunately, way too many people recognize you that way, you whore.

Sagittarius: You may be getting too old for Trick or Treating. Your mailman costume nets you a few candy bars and several dozen envelopes containing checks to the gas company.

Capricorn: This week, you’ll severely cut your hands trying to push razorblades into apples. Wake up and stop doing this. No one eats apples on Halloween.

Aquarius: Good news, it turns out that slutty prostitute you invite to your Halloween party is actually a slutty prostitute. The bad news is, her herpes sores are not make up.

Pisces: Well, it’s another Halloween and you know what that means. A candy bowl on the middle of your front lawn and you on the roof with a BB gun. Good luck kids!

Level Up: Dead Island

by tonyd on October 29, 2011 at 12:01 am

Quick video game review. Dead Island is the new zombie shooter where you are trapped on a tropical island with zombies.

It’s not a bad game and it’s a bit scary. My main problems with the game is this: All I want to do is kill zombies. I don’t mind that they lunge, but I have a problem with running zombies. This game has both and it doesn’t accelerate too fast. The zombies have levels, which I like. They get progressively tougher to kill.

The tough part of the game is driving. Running over zombies in a truck is all kinds of fun, but the controls are pretty wonky.

The zombies are really loud, which is weird. The sound of them dying actually threw me off a little. You also can’t really sneak up on them. That might be because I had just gotten done playing Batman. (How awesome would a Batman vs. the Zombies game be?)

The downside is the premise is kind of weak. For some reason, your character is immune to the virus that turns people into zombies, which is why you have to do the missions. I guess that would be a good explanation, but some of the missions are a bit pointless. For instance, going to get gas to burn bodies. There’s so much stuff on the island (plenty of abandoned cars), why not use the gas from them? Also, there’s a choice of characters with different abilities, which don’t seem all that different. I guess it’s just an excuse to have upgrades.

Finally, there are “traders” as you can buy and sell stuff and collecting money is important. That seems counter intuitive to the whole situation.

Still, overall, the game is a lot of fun once you get used to the controls. It’s still not my ideal zombie game. (I could really do without the “boss” zombies.) You’ll get your zombie-killing fix with this on.

I give Dead Island 7 out of 10 keggers. I wouldn’t buy it first, but I’d buy it. Definitely something to pick up in the used bin.
