Tools for the job: The machine gun

While there is nothing wrong with the scalpel like finesse of the sniper rifle or the scatter punch of the shotgun, sometimes in this crazy old post apocalyptic world you just need to kill things… fast. Enter the machine gun.

Guaranteed to hurl out a deadly steady stream of bullets, the machine gun is your party’s real damage dealer. It’s an unimaginative butcher of a weapon, but if you are keen to make the undead feel like British infantry on the first day of the Somme – then buy one.

If you still have any doubts about why you’ll need a machine gun or two I’ll leave you with some words of wisdom from Voltaire (who despite being French, did know a bit about fighting).

God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

iPod comp extended until 15th Jan 2010

After some consideration we have decided Jumbo Squid will be extending the entry deadline for the iPod giveaway competition. We will now be accepting entries up until the end of day, 15/01/10. So enter at http://zogma.mobi/comp-form/ up until this date!

Why you ask?

Well not only have we been flat out burning the midnight oil making Zogma the awesome thing that it is; we’ve also been busy stockpiling canned food, welding metal grills to ours cars and waiting for our shotguns to arrive (boo to Australia’s zombie friendly, but otherwise sensible gun ownership laws).

Otherwise the deal is the same – so get those entries in! You can find the entry form at http://zogma.mobi/comp-form/

Meet the Cast: Runner

Following on from the introduction we gave to the Shambler the other day, we now have another zombie ready and on the ‘boyle’ (pardon the pun) – this one is the “Runner”.

Being very imaginatively named, the “Runner’s” most dangerous attribute is his speed. While this zombie may not do as much damage as his big brothers; his Usian Bolt like pace makes him a nightmare to deal with. Forget the bumbling antics of the Shambler, this little guy is able to stumble run past his slower cousins and rush up through your defenses in a flash.

Be sure to keep your eyes peeled for this fast and sneaky set of teeth on powerful legs – this zombie is more than willing to work for his next meal!
