We've got a zombie overload this week. The Last of Us by Naughty Dog came out about a week back and I've been playing it over the past week. It's an awesome game with an engaging story and plot (a must for any game in my book), stunning visuals, and solid (though safe) gameplay and mechanics. Even if you're not a fan of the zombie genre, this game is definitely worth a play.

World War Z also came out last week featuring Brad Pitt as a super calm super solider against the 'zekes'. Its an interesting movie based on an interesting book premise though quite straightforward in the telling. One of the least horrifying zombie movies I've seen to date (Resident Evil used to take that spot) but not the worst by far. Also worth a watch.

Watched lots of other blockbuster movies recently too. The week before we had Man of Steel; I personally enjoyed that despite many saying that it fell below expectations. What more can you expect from a Superman movie? What super duper depth are we looking for here? Maybe that's why Batman is always more popular than Superman. Also watched Monsters University yesterday, good movie, entertaining but not the best movie of the year by far.
In a fit of spontaneity, I bought a bouquet of flowers and a hand mixer for my wife. She finds it sweet :) Hand mixer sounds odd as a present (where's the diamonds?) but she likes baking and I like baking with her so it made sense?
Also gotten back into MOBA games. Its kinda fun when you play with friends I guess. I hate playing pubs cause of the various types of assholes that emerge. Waiting for the DC universe MOBA (the Flash is my pick!)... I'm sure Batman / Superman will be top tier heroes.
