Run For Your Life Through Six New Race Missions in Zombies, Run!

, , , , ,

There’s probably no better time to run with Zombies, Run! than during Halloween, right? If you agree, then you’re in for a Halloween treat when you install the latest update to the popular zombie-fied fitness app. A product of a successful Kickstarter campaign, Zombies, Run! adds an undead twist to running. Instead of just listening to regular music on your iPhone while running, with Zombies, Run! you can listen to music that’s interspersed with stories set in the zombie apocalypse. So, basically, instead of just running, you’re now running for your life, away from hordes of zombies. Now if that doesn’t make you run better, then you’re probably going to be screwed once the real zombie apocalypse happens. If you can’t see the video embedded above, please click here. But until then, or at least until the next Zombies, Run! update, you can take advantage of the following in the new version of the app: Three new race missions! 5k, 10k and 20k missions that unfold kilometer-by-kilometer. These missions take place toward the end of Season 1 Three MORE purchasable race missions — get more story, and support future Zombies, Run! development Race on a treadmill — estimate the distance you’ve covered from your pace count or running time Looks great on iPhone 5, and now optimized for iOS 6 New built-in music playback — better synchronisation, better mixing, better headset controls GPS issues fixed The new version of Zombies, Run! is out now in the App Store. Note that it is available for $3.99 (half its regular price) until Halloween. Image courtesy of Zombies, Run!.

The Rolling Stones Sing About Zombies

, , , , , , ,

The Rolling Stones, who played their first gig 50 years ago, have returned after a seven-year hiatus. The English rockers debuted a new single, “Doom and Gloom,” Thursday on BBC Radio 2. A mopey lyric video accompanies the release and draws even more attention to the band’s zombie reference: “I had a dream last night I was piloting a plane, and all the passengers were drunk and insane,” Mick Jagger belts. “I crash landed in a Louisiana swamp, shot up a horde of zombies but I come out on top.” Zombies and exploding heads aside, “Doom and Gloom” is a track from GRRR!, the group’s forthcoming three-disc greatest hits compilation due out Nov. 12. The Rolling Stones made headlines in the tech world earlier this year when a clever 404 error message on its website surfaced. Are you digging the band’s new tune? Does it make you want to watch The Walking Dead right now, too? BONUS: 9 Celebrity Zombies Show Brain-Eating Side of Fame Zombie Celebrities 1. Lady Gaga You can’t read my Zombie Face.
