Location, location, location
The autumn breeze flutters leaves on the trees as I step out of my dorm room. I breathe in a deep breath with a smile on my face as I walk down the steps from the West Quad to go to my class across the street at the IST building. A few short steps down the stairs and I reach the bottom landing, turning right to cut through the less traveled route I normally take. That’s when I see him.
A man with short cut hair and a light jacket is walking through the tunnel. I probably wouldn’t have even noticed him if it weren’t for his eyes suddenly widening behind his frames at the sight of me. He reached into his bag and pulled out a gun and cocked it with a click. I throw my backpack to the side and back up a few paces. He’s going to shoot me. I just know it. But I’m not going to go down that easily. He leaves the shadow of the tunnel and raises the gun, aiming at my chest. He pulled the trigger
I just barely dodge the first shot, jumping to the side in the nick of time. He’s cocked back the gun again though and is firing, again and again and again. It’s a miracle that I’m not shot yet. We circle each other for a bit as he waits for me to get closer so he can get a better shot. I notice movement behind him and I see a girl slinking in the shadows of the trees. She puts her finger to her lips and sneaks up behind the man with the gun. I’m not sure what it was but somehow he knew. He turned around and fired, right into her chest. I dived towards him but he turned around and I was shot as well. The man sighed a breath of relief and bent over to pick up what he shot.
No we’re not dead. Zombies can’t die silly.
Quotes:
“People have tempers and not everyone can control theirs. Sometimes fights can break out and even plastic and foam can become dangerous.” –Rachel Bishop Freshman-English
“These guys are living out their video game fantasies in a safe way through this club.” –Anonymous Freshman-Business
“Impossible to stereotype because all sorts of people are in it. The Extremists who modify their guns like crazy and then the mild ones who just play to blow off some steam.” –Anonymous Freshman-Buisness
Facts and such:
“All of our games follow a common thread: we strive to bring people together for human interaction, physical challenges, and tactical game-play. Our events use traditional board and console gaming techniques in an exhilarating "real life" atmosphere.”
“The Penn State Urban Gaming Club is dedicated to fundraising money for charitable causes. For this purpose we have created the position of the Charity Chair”
“HvZ is played at college campuses across the nation, said Castner. It was founded by students at Goucher College in Maryland, and other campuses have tailored the basic rules to fit their own schools.”
"But as Zombies' popularity has grown, criticism of it has grown, too -- especially since last April, when a severely disturbed English major named Seung Hui Cho armed himself with two semiautomatic handguns and killed 33 people, including himself, at Virginia Tech University. In the immediate wake of that shooting, Humans vs. Zombies became controversial, raising a collegiate version of the prevailing question of our time: What is the balance between security and freedom? And it prompts another fascinating question: What can a group of young people learn about one another -- and themselves -- by running around campus with Nerf guns for days on end? "
