On top of that, the base game’s really funny anyway, taking cues from Robert Rodriguez and Quentin Tarantino, though something that’s entirely more over the top with its humour. There’s a whole host of phrases, some of which are downright hilarious – “Thanks Obama” is a personal favourite – and there are plenty of references in there too. It really just takes the original Overkill to the next level, and even then that game’s available – with mouse-controlled pointer action – as part of the package if you get bored of typing all of these words and just want to shoot some mutants instead. Perhaps it’s because I spend every day chaining sentences together with complete comprehensibility that going a bit wild and shooting the heads off of zombies in the meantime is just something that’s a bit lovely, while allowing me to further my words per minute speed and genuinely improve an important skill.Įven if you’re not like me and you don’t enjoy writing words on this here internet box, then you’ll still find some enjoyment out of it. It’s a bit like the strategic combos of Street Fighter compared to the more manic single-fire attacks of Super Smash Brothers. If I was to write “undead bread connoisseur dachshund Edinburgh” here then I doubt you’d be very happy and the article wouldn’t be very coherent, but in The Typing of the Dead that’s okay, that’s absolutely fine. So, to be able to type about a game in which the core mechanic is typing is just about blowing my mind.Īnd I’ve blown the mind of plenty of zombies just by writing long words, which are a bit of an encumbrance, or even shorter words, which are easy.īut it’s not typing like this, no. I do it thousands of times every day, it’s probably something that I do more than almost every other thing except from breathing, blinking or sleeping. Or, hey, here’s a wheelchair-ridden man with low self esteem, who’s just mutated himself into a brain-heavy monster. Fighting an overweight creature? You’ll find yourself typing Jelly-belly. Those words are almost always funny and tied to the current situation.
