Seriously

Seriously, I intend to provide more regular updates now that I have finished travelling. And while most of the information provided is vital to survival after the fall. Some posts, like today's, will simply be undead related.

For instance this video, just some good old fashion zombie fun.


And this video is a little more zombie learning directed. I do have one major issue with this video, do not set zombies on fire unless you can completely control the situation. A flaming zombie is more dangerous then a normal zombie and the amount of time it takes for the brain to boil might surprise you. Also note this is extremely simple in it's design and intend, it is not an extensive guide.



Follow me on Twitter for on the spot Zombie Tips and Awareness.

I have only recently got myself a smartphone and thus have begun to explore the world of apps. Naturally my first action was to download a few dozen zombie keyword apps. Here are my thoughts on a few of them.

Stupid Zombies is a puzzle game in which a character who looks an awfully lot like Ash with a boomstick, has a limited number of shots to kill all the zombies on the level.
It's fun, it's problem solving but it provides no actual zombie training. Unless you count the problem solving aspect, but even then the game, while hard to master, is easy to play and won't really push your problem solving skills too far. It's an entertaining way to spend a bit of time but not worth anything in the long run.


Zombie Village is another entertaining little game without too much training value. Kill zombies to gain coins and ammo, search houses to gain coins and ammo. Spend coins for better weapons after each level. The strategy of hiding is very important and should be a lesson well learned if it's not already understood. The benefit of surviving far out weights the benefit of whatever money or supplies the zombies might drop by you killing them. Never be afraid to hide from the undead.




Coins vs Zombies is a bit of whacky fun. Nothing too complex here, its a crazy game that actually requires a little bit of skill and timing to play. But the real joy of the game is just letting loose and everything happening at once. Any training or survival value here? Nope, unless you have the battery power to play just to ward off boredom.


Zombie Killer is a fairly standard side-scroller, melee/ranged attack game. What makes it a little different is interesting art used in the game but the art never really changes so it in itself isn't a selling point. Lessons like ammo saving and learning to take the path of least resistance are notable here but as with any side-scroller, better learned somewhere else, like in real life training. Definitely among my favorites in the genre, the genre just doesn't impress me a lot.

Stay vigilant, may the infection never reach you, and those close to you have the resolve to do what is needed should you be so unfortunate, Mike D.

1,000 survivors!

Well survivors I hadn't planned much for this humble blog. My hopes are to simply help people sort through the mess of zombie misinformation out there. Now after only a few short months we have reached over 1,000 readers per month.

I've been harsh in my mission, specific in my use of outbreaks and definitions, real in my search of truths and causes, but have been proud to not stray from where I began.

I am very glad to be reaching so many and the e-mails I receive are very encouraging. I also encourage people to post comments as well. And to continue to spread the word, the site will only grow from here. The night is long and cold; but the true survivor does not simply wait it out untl the break of day. The survivor I know you can all be, is the survivor who learns to live and thrive in that night.

Let the dead come. We will be ready.  For what we learn can be passed on to others, just as I to here, at the ZLC.

Stay vigilant, may the infection never reach you, and those close to you have the resolve to do what is needed should you be so unfortunate, Mike D.

What this site is not.

Fellow survivors,

What I do not want to do on this site is blinding promote and advertise every zombie related thing out there, other blogs do that. And I love those blogs. I love everything to do with zombies which is why I was so excited about Dead Island that I almost gave in and created a post solely about this upcoming game. But I will hold true to giving the public not just another site advertising everything that comes along but a site that sifts through the hundreds and thousands of zombie films, toys, sites, blogs, games and what-have-you to give you what is helpful and what is not.

I will do my best to serve other survivors even if they do not know what good it will do them. When a person encounters the living dead they will know where to turn for their needs and support, the Zombie Learning Centre.

Note that I love Zombies and Toys for the service they do provide and I will be the first person in line to pick up my pre-ordered copy of Dead Island. So I am not putting those things down, just being clear of my mission statement. For example instead of telling you what new things are coming out related to zombies, I will tell you the actual usefulness of those things and instead of being a free promotion for Dead Island, I will provide a full review of the lessons and usefulness of the game as training material.

Now and forever ZLC will be a real resource to survive the fall.

Stay true, may the infection never reach you, and those close to you have the resolve to do what is needed should you be so unfortunate, Mike D.
