The Horrible Show 09-22-10: Your Opinion Is Wrong: Zombies

The Horrible Show debate team is back, since Cole is still traveling and MIA from the video game world, Justin and Christina prepare to battle Ethan’s knowledge of zombies and zombie related games. We don’t like their odds, but take notes and you may learn something that could save your life. Of course we almost didn’t make it to the debate when Christina gets all flustered by the confusing makeouts in Aeon Flux during our Threesomes of the Week. We rate some of our favorite characters in our On the Spot question: Worst to First – zombies, ninjas, pirates, and vampires. The Zombie Debate sees us rating key zombie franchises, playing word games to find out that Ethan is a waiter not a fighter, deciding once and for all if guns or blades are the best weapon against a zombie horde, and revealing that those zombies in Resident Evil may not be zombies after all. We’d like to remind you that our Halo Debate Contest for a 3 Month Xbox Live subscription continues this week, but you need to get your vote in soon as it ends on Sunday night. Also, our Horrible Night Out to Dave and Buster’s is this Friday, hope to see our Indy listeners there. We take it home by going to the future where only downloadable games exist and BioShock Infinite is playable.
