Activity Books and Spartan Robots

So, as you may or may not know I worked on a little something called Nazi Zombies. Seems like those nasty Nazi Zombies are getting more traction than I thought. A few links people have sent me the past few days have brought a smile to my face.
The first Nazi Zombie reference, by someone over at The Minus World is the Call of Duty Activity Book For Kids which does some much appreciated Call of Duty satire. Included are plenty of Nazi Zombie jokes, such as an exercise in creating the next version of Nazi Zombies!
Then today, everyone on my instant messenger list sent me a link to this little gem, where some Nazi Zombie fan in Austin, Texas hacked a road sign to warn of an impending Nazi Zombie attack. Okay, so while I don’t condone vandalism, I thought the story was pretty awesome. There are less dangerous (and more legal) ways to show your appreciation for Nazi Zombies, but it was all in good fun and no one was hurt. But next time, bake a giant Nazi Zombie themed cake and give it to a homeless shelter or something if you want to get on the news! I’m waiting for the impending “blame video games” story to follow…
Anyway, I love seeing stories like this, keep ’em coming!

Jesse,
Really glad you liked the Activity Book For Kids! Noticed your incoming link and wanted to thank you for developing some pure win for the new game. Nazi Zombie mode definitely had to be included in the booklet seeing as many hours of mine have been consumed by it. We’d definitely love to do a little followup interview with you if you’re interested. Please contact me at: bmiggs@the-minusworld.com
P.S. Feel free to brainstorm the next big idea using our “Call of Duty Enemy Creator”. 🙂
