The Green Flu turned most of the world into infected, flesh eating zombies. Zombies generally mean that there will be plenty of blood. This game is no exception. Each shot, or melee attack will award you with a spray of blood and probably a severed limb. To get some of the most bloody kills, melee weapons are the way to go. You can use an axe, guitar, or a frying pan. The frying pan is hilarious and bloody when used to kill enemies.

A shotgun shot will more than likely remove a head or limb from a Zed. You can enter Zed time, a random event triggered by “cool” shots. Zed time slows down time allowing you to aim easier and makes for more dramatic kill shots. Grenades can be used in tight quarters and will create very bloody, messy scenery. Between rounds, bodies of enemies will disappear, but their blood will still be everywhere.

What is Lorem Ipsum?Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.   Why do we use it?It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using 'Content here, content here', making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for 'lorem ipsum' will uncover many web sites still in their infancy. Various versions have evolved over the years, sometimes by accident, sometimes on purpose (injected humour and the like).Where does it come from?Contrary to popular belief, Lorem Ipsum is not simply random text. It has roots in a piece of classical Latin literature from 45 BC, making it over 2000 years old. Richard McClintock, a Latin professor at Hampden-Sydney College in Virginia,
