The (award winning) ladies of undead podcasting are back, and this time we’ve finally managed to get our hands and eyeballs on the Dead Lantern magnum opus Outpost Doom! We give our thoughts on the flick and the emerging talent behind it. We also manage to get the lead actor’s name wrong—for the record, it’s Jeremy, not Braden. Oopsie!
We talk with none other than Ax Wound zine maven and Women in Horror Month founder (and our new No. 1 girlie crush) Hannah Neurotica, who chats us up about the new annual February genre-lady lovefest (WIHM), reclaiming the term scream queen and all manner horror related feminist-y sorts of things.
Randiskull steps in and gives me an excuse to geek-out over Heavy Rain (which, incidentally, is fucking fantastic), Plants vs. Zombies and, fresh from his hands-on of Alan Wake, spills the deets on this promising horror title.
Stay tuned for the outtakes to hear about Summer’s ladies room shanking near-miss, some political shenanigan-ery and the gravitational pull of Vinnie Barbarino‘s colossal follicle-free dome.
Oh, and happy St. Patty’s!!

However, despite my obvious fangirl proclivities I am happy to say there is still no question that God of War III is a stellar game that will thrill fans of the series and newcomers alike (although I highly recommend playing through the previous three games, GOW, GOW II and Chains of Olympus, as there are a number of references as well of the motivations of the characters that will be lost to the uninitiated.)
GOW III picks up immediately following the cliffhanger at the end of GOW II with Kratos making his way up to Mount Olympus atop a titan, to seek revenge against Zeus. Awaiting him are a number of ill-fated gods, heroes and mythical baddies. In keeping with the series tradition the game opens with an epic battle, with Kratos taking on his first of many divine foes. However, the scale of this battle makes the fight with the hydra that kicks off the first game laughable in retrospect, the camera pulls way back to show a how massive the size of the battle is only to sweep back in and exploit every bit of the flying viscera–which there is no shortage of in this game.
