CoD5: WaW

While it hasn't been discussed in a good amount of time, all of you here know my passion for the elimination of zombie hordes. More than super powers, more than time travel, the one thing that I would enjoy more than anything is the opportunity to take a shotgun, machete, chainsaw, lawnmower, etc. to a mass of flesh-eating ghouls moving at a comically slow rate of speed. As we all know, there are no such things as real zombies (unless they're a government secret waiting to be unleashed on the populous, or the result of some sort of magic spell), so I and a great deal of others will never get an opportunity to fend off groaning invaders in a desperately fun struggle for survival.

Until the day arrives when we hear reports on the TV, radio, internet about the undead feeding on the living, the only thing the zombie-hunting enthusiasts can do is hope, dream, plan and pray for the day they start devouring our friends, enemies and loved ones alike. But to the zombie-hunter, there are few things that can make the battle for human survival even more satisfying. Each person has their own dream of what a zombie showdown would be like, whether you're sobbing as you have to exterminate your now ravenous family pet, or laughing maniacally as you're digging your chainsaw through your former boss's torso, but there's one thing that would make zombie eradication better for anyone and everyone, and that's to have the zombies the greatest enemy the world has ever known. That's right, Zombie Nazis.

What could be better than to take the symbol of one of the cruelest regimes ever to walk the face of the Earth and to blast them to bits once again? Those who wish they had lived in the time of the Great War so that they might have a chance to take part in global justice would have both of their dreams come true as the threat of a mindless feeding frenzy would be the new form of Fascism rearing its ugly head in the world. The cheer of "Die, Nazi Scum!" would once again make itself heard, but this time "again" or "Zombie" could be tagged to the sentence somewhere for that added bit of oomph.

But alas, until that day arrives when we take up arms against the greatest enemy, we can only plan and strategize, making contingency plans and fortifying our homes and vehicles for the one day we hear that grim (grim for some, joyous for others) report that dead Granny Jenkins ate little Billy, and Granny Jenkins was a Nazi sympathizer. Until that day arrives, we will have the glory that is Call of Duty: World at War. While at first it may seem like just a fun WWII game, after reaching a certain level of greatness, you unlock the bonus game of Nazi Zombies. Four survivors seeing how long they can hold out against wave after wave of Nazi Zombie hordes. Sometimes I really love technology.
