We are the sci-fi club. Back at public school you may have known us from detention, gym class, or at the back of the room. With those days behind us we now enjoy dicking around on the internet, and plan the prospect of making an abridged series. With the harnessed power of the internet we will post random stuff; like movie reviews, comics, anime reviews, game reviews, zombie survival guides, and flash game of the week.

Movie Review
Our first movie review is the 2004 movie Dawn of the Dead, directed by Zach Snyder and original screenplay written by George A. Romero. The movie is based around a small group of survivors when a zombie outbreak occurs, who take shelter in their local shopping mall. The movie starts out with one of the main characters, Ana(Sarah Polley) who is a nurse in a hospital with a pandemic going of people coming in with mysterious bites and assaultings. She takes the rest of the day off, she returns home and sleeps the rest of the day with her husband. she awakes the next morning to find the neighbor’s child, vivian, in the hallway of her home with blood covering her mouth. Ana’s husband rubs over to her to be sure she is alright and vivian knocks him down and bites in his neck, Ana pushes vivian back out into the hallway and closes the door so she couldn’t get back in. Her husband turns into one of the infected, Ana escapes through her bathroom window, the she runs to her car and gets into her car and her husband runs out the door and jumps on the car damaging the windsheild severly. Ana speeds out of her neighborhood onto the interstate only to see the horror and destruction of the virus. Somebody tries to steal her car while she was stopped, and she panics and drives off and runs off the road where she hits a tree and is unconscious for about an hour. Then she wakes up and meets other survivors(Kenneth, Andre, Luda, and Michael), they move on to crossroads shopping center where they encounter three untrusting mall cops. The cops allow them to stay there but under careful surveillance, after one day one of the mall cops sides with the survivors, and they take away the cops gun and lock them up in one of the stores within the mall. They also figure out there is a person alive in the gun store across the street. The next day a truck comes speeding into the mall parking lot and they are directed to one of the loading docks to let other survivors into the mall. Michael and Andre help secure the people, two of the people who came in on the truck died and had turned out to be one of the infected. Luda, the pregnant girl with Andre, turns out to have been bitten earlier and as she goes into labor she turns into a zombie and dies while giving birth to a zombie baby, then one of the survivors that came in on the truck finds that Luda and the baby were both zombies and shoots the reanimated Luda and Andre and her kill each other. They stay within the mall for about a week then the power goes out and Kenneth, Michael, and one of security guards, goes down to the basement to restart the generator and they find a dog and they find out that zombies have made their way in to the basement. the security guard dies and Kenneth and Michael make it out, and they spread word that it won’t be long before the zombies get in the mall, late on Andy starts to starve and they send the dog they found to give Andy the food and the zombies don’t attack the dog and the dog makes it in, the girl who befriends the dog drives the truck into the building where Andy is, and she uses the door the dog used and one of the zombies makes it in, Kenneth and Tucker and C.J. go through the sewers later on to save the girl, they get there to find Andy has been turned into a zombie himself they make it back with the girl, the dog, they start working on transportation away from the mall(an armored bus), a couple days later the zombies make it in the mall and the remaining survivors run to the buses and start their way to a port only three survivors make it, the rest died on their way. the four make it off the port, Ana, Kenneth, Nicole, Terry, and chips(the dog) set off into the water, the ending credits show recordings after they have left the port and they come across a deserted island where zombies ambush them and it is assumed they died.
Our opinion of the movie: one of the good things was the whole special effects for the movie and just the zombies themselves, we may misunderstand this part but one of the bad things was that they were in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, how did they find an island? good for one or two time watch. we say that it is about a 7/10 for a zombie movie.

Our thoughts: the game was pretty good as far as following the book, between all the button mashing and button sequences the game was pretty good and the game is just awesome in general. We give it a 9.5/10
Alternative MMOs
Why pay for what you can get for free? Especially if that free game is better than what you would have to pay money for. So the review this time is on Perfect World International, perhaps the best MMO I have played and for free. The first aspect I would like to note is the friendly atmosphere. No matter what you do any MMO will have jerks, self righteous and immature people, it is a fundemental law of gaming. However, on PWI (Perfect World International) they seem to be at a minimum. The majority of the people on PWI are infact helpful. Another wonderful aspect of the game is all the loop hole, yes I said loop holes. The loop holes are for the extra items you can pay money for if you wish, however you can exchange money you earned in game (coins) for gold and silver (used in the boutique for extra items). The extra items include fashion which you can dye to any color, extra flying items such as wings, flying beasts and flying weapons (yeah you can even fly around on a giant sword, why I’m not sure but it is pretty bad ass).
