Apocalypse Hal: Spot the Survivalist (Primitive Skills)

Been sick all week so amazed that I managed to complete this on time.

Think they are actually called Primitive Skills Enthusiasts but that title was way too long.

Originally was going to use Cody Lundin as the reference for this one seeing I have been watching too much Dual Survival. Luckily I got inspired by a cute looking Pocahontas image instead :)

Apocalypse Hal - Zombie Lifecycle

So I entered "zombie lifecycle" in Google and was amazed to find very little in the way of scientific research. It is sad that governments are not treating zombies as the national health priority they are.

It is only fair that BZF provides what may be the only creditable zombie lifecycle drawn in the Chibi style. Note this is for contemporary zombies and excludes the original Haitian zombi which is a whole other kettle of pufferfish. Mmm maybe they need a lifecycle too.

Zed the Zombie wins award!

Everyone loves a winner so lets give a hand to Zed the Zombie!

The Australian Toy Association (an organisation I have never heard of until yesterday) has given Zed the prestigious title of Games Toy of the Year 2014.

And when I say give Zed a hand, I mean it. Poor Zed has risen from the dead in pieces and your task is to put him back together in a race against time! I am not sure what happens if you run out of time but I real hope it involves body parts flying around the room.

With Christmas fast approaching this is a great opportunity to teach the little ones all about zombies. Although putting zombies together seems to be the opposite of what you need to do in a zombie onslaught.

Produced by Moose Games Zed is available at all good toy stores, and a few of the bad ones too.

To Halloween or not Halloween? That is the question!!!

So another Halloween weekend comes to a close and love it or hate it but ever so slowly, celebrating Halloween is becoming part of Australian culture. Each year it picks up a little more momentum with more Halloween stuff on display in the shops, more people dressing up, more people having parties and more children trick or treating.

It also raises a debate each year with some of us embracing this new tradition and those who think it's un australian and we shouldn't be celebrating it. To the haters I say....pull your head in!!! Life is about change and experiencing new things, stuff is not always going to stay the same and if you're not willing to change with it, well I am pretty sure you will be the first to get eaten In the zombie apocalypse for starters!! If you don't want to celebrate, that's fine, hibernate, don't dress up and politely tell people that you don't celebrate it but please don't rain on the parade of those that do.

We are all learning and slowly getting used to Halloween etiquette,  like trick or treaters only gong to houses with a pumpkin or and orange balloon, people are getting better at organising and preparing neibourhoods and people are also getting used to grabbing some Halloween treats to have on hand just in case! In time if you don't want to be bothered with it then you won't be. End rant!!!

We of course here at BZF celebrate so look out for some posts of what we got up to over the next week!

And if you do venture out for future Halloweens remember, don't get bit

Apocalypse Hal - Zombie Needs

As we wait with baited breath for the onslaught of the undead to begin, it is worth trying to understand how zombies behave. For example, what needs will drive their behaviour?

Now back in the 40s some dude called Maslow got a bunch of pens and butcher's paper and came up with a neat diagram. The Maslow's hierarchy of needs puts human needs in a series of levels within a pyramid shape. Once a person has satisfied one set of needs they can progress up to the next level.

Here is an example of how his model can be applied to a typical person of today.

Can we use this model to examine zombie needs? 

Well some people argue Maslow’s theory is too simplistic and that may be the case. But we are dealing with zombies here and they are pretty simple right? So it should work. 

So in the interests of community safety, BZF presents Maslow's Hierarchy of Zombie Needs. My apologies to Abraham Harold Maslow.

 

You can see that zombies have a very basic set of needs. 
 

I guess that means that as a culture, zombies will never progress into an advanced civilisation. They won't care about other zombies and will unfriend everyone on Facebook. Group hugs are out. Motivational posters featuring cute cats hanging onto tree branches have no effect on them. Except maybe making them hungry.

Based on this analysis we can assume that zombies make pathetic art critics and will never invent a better toaster.
