Hipster Zombies -Shoot Pabst Cans at the Ironic Undead!

Sharkbomb’s recently released mobile game might be the ultimate stress reliever. Hipster Zombies pits you against huge mobs of hipsters who constantly attack, new wave after new wave. You’ll defend your side of the screen from your arrogant attackers in a similar way to Plants Vs. Zombies. Oh, and they’re zombies too, so it’s OK to shoot them.

There are different hipster types such as obnoxious pipe guys, sunglasses and blazer jerks and headbanded neo ravers. Players strafe up and down the side of the screen using different ammunition, such as LPs, glasses and Pabst cans in their garbage cannon. It’s free to play but extras can be purchased with micro transactions. Hipster Zombies is available on iTunes and the Google Play Store

From the Play Store:

When hipsters turn themselves into zombies and haunt the living it’s time to fight back. Ironically.

Fight against legions of pretentious undead in this light-hearted arcade action game.

**********************************************

At night the hipsters leave their hiding holes, walking towards you looking for brains. Brains and vintage clothes. Now it’s your job to stop them from infecting and plundering your neighborhood. Granted, it’s not that bad a job if you ignore the lethal risks. After all you get to frag some zombies.

* Wield a variety of different ironic trash-weapons
* Collect coins to upgrade and add to your arsenal
* Defend different locales of your neighborhood against the hipster horde
* Freely move in 2 directions!

“It’s just like plants vs zombies without plants. Instead you have Instagram hipsters and direct control. So awesome!” – Frank Wiener, huge fan.

Nokia Ad Makes iPhone Users Zombies

Nokia capitalizes on the zombie craze in its latest ad for the Lumia 925, targeting the iPhone 5 and its camera. You can watch the clever ad below.

It seems like the diss ads are piling up lately, making the mobile phone market look like the United States during election season. Microsoft has had some gems lately, and the Galaxy S series ads have long taken cheap shots at Apple devices’ shortcomings. This latest ad from Nokia shows a group of pale-faced, red-eyed zombies stalking a man on the night-time streets of a city.

The joke is on the iPhone camera, as the zombiedom is passed through the use of its flash. The zombies are washed out, pale and red-eyed due to the use of the iPhone 5′s back facing LED flash, much like subjects in flash photos often end up.

The Lumia 925 has excellent l0w light capabilities, unlike pretty much any other smart phone camera currently available, its CCD can take clear night-time images without the need for flash.

So, surprisingly, the joke isn’t that iPhone users are zombie like followers (a common theme in Samsung ads), it’s about the camera! Apple generally tends to take the high road with this type of advertising, and doesn’t bite back. But maybe an Apple ad focusing on the plusses of the iPhone camera will be coming soon?
