Z World Zombie Theme Park Could Make Abandoned Detroit a Cool Place to Visit Posted: 05 Jul 2012 12:00 PM PDT I'm sure most of us have watched zombie shows such as The Walking Dead and wondered if we would be able to survive a zombie apocalypse. An entrepreneur named Mark Siwak has a seriously awesome idea for a theme park that would let you find out how you would fare if zombies were to attack. The man has a plan to make a theme park using abandoned and derelict areas of Detroit called Z World.
The idea is that people would come to the theme park in pay to enter a 200-acre apocalyptic style abandoned urban setting where you can run and hide from zombies to your heart's content. The idea would be to see if you can take refuge in the abandoned buildings and survive the zombie horde. Sadly, you won't be able to try out your Crovel at Z World. Siwak believes that this theme park could employ hundreds or even thousands of people in the Detroit area to shuffle around in zombie makeup and work other areas of the park. However, some think the plan is nothing more than an attempt to capitalize on Detroit's woes. Apparently, Detroit has lost approximately area 1.1 million citizens since 1950 leaving massive areas uninhabited and crumbling. That sounds like the perfect place for a zombie theme park to me. For now, we'll have to settle for this. [via Daily Mail] |
Assassin's Creed III "Rise" Trailer Tells Its Tale Using Real Actors Posted: 05 Jul 2012 11:15 AM PDT We've seen our share of trailers for the coming video game Assassin's Creed III, expected to launch in October. So far the trailers we've seen have used actual gameplay footage to show what the video game will be like. A new trailer for the video game went live yesterday that uses live actors to promote the rebellion theme of the video game.
The "rise" message of the video since makes sense considering the game is set during the American Revolution. The trailer shows a number of different actors in situations looking stoic as bad things happen – typically perpetrated by enemy soldiers or plain mean people. We've seen previous trailers that show naval warfare allowing the player to control or ownership and board enemy ships for hand-to-hand combat. There have also been rumors that players will be able to domesticate animals and play some sort of mysterious third character. From the looks of things, this may be one of the game to come in the Assassin's Creed franchise yet. |
