Beginning to wonder if Dead Rising doesn't need its own tag at this point

...fifty-three...thousand...five hundred...ninety-four corpses...an hour and a half of missed sleep later...

It was worth it. :D

Yes, I slaughtered an entire town's worth of zombies. And I did it while wearing a large teddy bear mask. I'm awesome.

I'm a little miffed that there aren't ONLY that many even available to kill, seeing as the premise is that there was a town that got infected with the zombie, but what can you do? It wouldn't be hard if there weren't zombies omigosheverywhere. And they are everywhere. There's some weird zombie-generation thing whereby if you swing around in a loop, suddenly there are thirty billion zombies behind you where there hadn't been any. Useful if you have a car to hit them with (and I did, for the most part), but DEATH if not.

Now I just need to eat all the food and rescue a million people and change into all the clothes and then I'm ready to tackle story-related difficulties again. You'll notice that my priorities have not changed much since I first started with video games and spent THIRTY YEARS OF MY LIFE playing Triple Triad and Blitzball. But! The mini-accomplishments! MUST COLLECT THEM ALL. (And this is why I looked a show called Pokemon and thought to myself, "This is brilliant." Then I realized that they'd just keep adding to the number and you never could catch 'em all, and that shit got old.)

(I guess I'll be ignoring that strike then.)
