ZOMBIES AND ROBOTS (also: games that read like fanfic!)

so, the Discovery channel has a new show about THE END OF THE WORLD, 'The Colony':

http://dsc.discovery.com/tv/colony/colony.html

basically, it's a reality show about a bunch of people living in a post-doomsday world, where civilization as we know it has collapsed.

I CANNOT BELIEVE I HAVE MISSED THIS. "Surviving the [insert catastrophic global event here] apocalypse" is pretty much my favorite plot trope eeeeeeeever. the show doesn't specify what, exactly, caused the 'end of the world,' which is fantastic since i can watch with the assumption that the world has been destroyed by a) zombies or b) a robot uprising.

actually i'm hoping someone will make some kind of ambiguous statement that implies a zombie and/or robot apocalypse has happened: that would be A+ material.

and now for something completely different (no, seriously):

and now i'll leave with this. if you are feeling bad about yourself, or where you live, take heart in this video: at least you're not in Califonia with this young woman.

guys, i did not know that the East Coast had slaves, and that the West USA Coast had vegetable trees! DID YOU?
