Interesting question

I've been spending a lot of time playing Urban Dead lately. Right now, I'm running four characters. All of them started out as humans and three of them were killed immediately and turned into zombies. Since then two of them have been revived, then killed, then another one was revived. One human, created late last week, has managed to stay alive; he's currently holed up in a building with a couple of other humans.

In all honesty, it's a lot more fun being a zombie. You don't care if you die, because in five hours you'll be able to stand up again and start killing more humans. As a human I admit I'm too nervous to do much more than hole up somewhere and hope the zombies don't get me. Every now and then I run out to try to find some stuff (a crucifix? What do I do with a crucifix? This isn't a *vampire* game) and maybe take a swing at a zombie or two.

There are active discussion lists for both humans and zombies, where tips are traded and strongholds for the other side pointed out among the requests for help. I've found two blogs for the game; one is written from the point of view from their character (a human) and the other is the player discussing the game, among other things. You may find an update or two here.

But I'm ignoring the point of this whole post. On the zombie discussion list, someone asked a question that had me thinking: Do Zombies poop?

On another note, Land of the Dead is being released on DVD October 18. I'll probably get it that night.

UPDATE: All of my zombies have been revived! I admit I'm a little bummed about it, but I'll play the game that's been given to me. Besides...if any of my humans should find a flack jacket (extra protection) or a baseball bat or lead pipe, the zombie can use those against humans. Heh.
