Sadly, it seems that college officials at the University of Colorado have shut down a game of Humans vs. Zombies. They are arguing that there’s the potential for confusion because a Nerf gun could be mistaken for a real gun.

It’s an interesting read, created by a team of actual mathematicians from the University of Ottawa. I confess to not really understanding all [...]
Though I’ve been a huge fan of Robert Kirkman’s “The Walking Dead” comic for some time, I don’t believe I’ve ever actually sung its praises in this blog! (though you can find all the Graphic Novels in the FMZ store).

Simon Pegg had his say on the topic of Fast-Moving Zombies, but his initial target, Dead Set director, Charlie Brooker, responds in favor of a running zombie.

His comments are halfway through his article.
Charlie Brooker: Speaking [...]
The brilliantly funny Simon Pegg writes and article for the Guardian, in which he discusses the inherent problems with a running zombie:
